Google Docs goes down just in time for morning meetings…

Seems that ValleyWag doesn’t understand that Google Docs now works offline. However, that wouldn’t make a good story for them.

Breakdowns: Google Docs goes down just in time for morning meetings

Also of note; they don’t understand that morning meetings are occuring 24/7 a week because there are meetings that occur outside of the valley!

Some things never change…

“Two millenia ago, the Romans noticed how the Gauls always expected the worst and the trait is known to anyone who lives in France. “La crise” has been a permanent state of affairs since, well, about the 11th century”

Don’t know what to buy…

…then just buy the brand.

“…Then the shopping. Whatever the new thing is, you need it.”Why? Fabulous has an astute answer. “It’s because nobody has a clue what’s tasteful and what’s not. You’ve got all this money but no idea what to buy. So everybody just copies each other or goes for the big name. That’s why brands are so important. They think, ‘If that costs more, or it’s new, it’s got to be better.'”

Apple – Support – Discussions – Finder Repeatedly Crashing… …

While I’m waiting Time Machine is taking me back to before everything went wrong!

iMac Finder dies…

Since I updated to the latest versions of Quicktime, iMove etc. yesterday the Finder on my iMac is repeatedly crashing. This includes the icons in the top right hand corner of the screen disappearing and then reappearing every 15 seconds.

Other applications crash when launched at well.

I managed to stop the Finder window crashing by moving from using Coverflow to the standard directory listings but the icons at the top right still crash and the machine is unusable! Firefox and Safari seem unaffected.

Any ideas of how to solve this would be gratefully received!

Lets see what the chances are of a blog request for help are; all the “A Listers” (a.k.a. Scoble) say this is the future of support and recommendations. How does it work for the rest of us?

They do…

Didn’t know this…

“Fon has to provide special VPN tunneling technology in the UK for the UK secret services to investigate suspected criminals and terrorists when they log on to our WiFi signal.”

Why are European governments able to do more for less when it comes to National Security?

And to be honest I’m not too comfortable now that I know that it exists. Are all Fon’s the same? Or is this just included in boxes sent to the UK?

Tell us more… please!
