Looks like those fine folks over there are Google are at it again. This time, they are bringing us mobile GMail. Now sure, some are thinking, "I already have a Blackberry, why should I care?". Well, for me, I simply like the fact that it allows me to seperate my personal life from my business life. Yes, I have a Blackberry, but I still cart my personal mobile with me regardless. The last thing I want is to combine the two; then I would never be able to truly "get away".

Anyways, peep it on your phone. For those using LG on Verizon, I highly recommend changing your browsers homepage from that ridiculous Verizon one by doing the following:

Menu 0 (zero) - That should bring up a dialog asking for a service code

Enter all 0's (zeroes) until the Service Menu appears

Select Wap Setting

Select Homepage

Change this to be whatever you want, I recommend http://google.com/xhtml/ or now http://m.gmail.com

On a sad note, I tried using https://m.gmail.com, but the certificate on that server doesn't match the domain so the phone automatically rejects it. Hopefully Google will get this fixed soon.

I've been a long time user of Google's GMail service, and I am constantly impressed as they continue to add more and more features. This latest update involves adding anti-virus protection. This works for both incoming and outgoing messages. If you receive a file that contains a virus, GMail will attempt to clean the file. If that is unsuccessful, you will not be able to access the file.

If you sending an email and you attach a file that contains a virus, the file will not be sent with your message. You will also receive a visual notification informing you which attachment is infected as well as one at the top of the compose window.

On a side note, another recent update I've noticed is http://mail.google.com automatically re-directs to https://mail.google.com. YAY SSL is good!! I've had wondered why it wasn't doing that before. I guess I don't need that GreaseMonkey script to do it for me anymore. =)

So, I heard the rumors last week and over the weekend about Apple moving away from PowerPC to Intel based chips. Well, that rumor came true today when Jobs announced it. I think it will be a good thing, but I don't want to see OS X on anything other then an Apple Mac.

Today MSN Messenger 7.0 Final is out. I really don't like messenger to begin with (I'm a Yahoo! junkie), but all my co-workers use messenger, so I must to. Anyways, one annoying thing with the latest version for Secway Simp users is that messenger restricts you from launching Simp. If messenger is running, it will prevent the Simp process from starting as well as the Simp installer.

So kiddies, what you have to do is close down messenger 7. Goto Secway's website and get the latest dot release of SimpLite. No, SimpLite will not tell you there are updates. The latest version is 2.1.5 (most people are still using 2.1.3, which SimpLite reports as the latest version). Get 2.1.5 and install it. After that, start SimpLite and it should auto-start messenger for you. You should be golden after this!
