I was playing with an Android emulator this weekend and noticed that when I set up an Exchange account to synchronize my calendar and contacts with Google, I also started seeing email notifications. I thought that Android might just be acting “smart” and adding an IMAP account based on the same credentials.
So, to verify this, I went to the Exchange account on my iPhone that also syncs to Google contacts/calendar and enabled the Email switch. Lo and behold, I now had a working email exchange account from the Mail app! I sent myself a few emails from other accounts, and got a new mail notification on the iPhone within an average of five seconds.
I looked around and did not see any reference to this being enabled, so maybe this is in preparation for the likely Nexus One release announcement at tomorrow’s Google Android event. Either way, I hope this feature stays enabled since having real push GMail on the iPhone is really handy!

For this post, I think I will try out the Polls plugin.  Vote away!

Apparently, they reused the same wording they used in most of their online services, but this didn’t make much sense for a browser product.  So, they are fixing that particular clause so your dirty internet habits do not become property of Google.

Google on Chrome EULA controversy: our bad, we’ll change it

When asked about this feat, Dr. Vladimir Prokofski simply answered “it was bound to happen, and I’m glad we were the ones to do it”.  He then secretly – or so he thought – removed a vial of super glue from his lab coat pocket and began to sniff it.  Reporters then asked if the superglue was involved in the project in any way, and Dr. Prokofski declined to answer, saying the interview was over, turning around, and walking away wagging his freshly glued-on tail.

American scientists also declined to comment on this accomplishment, stating that they would only give interviews if and when they are able to replicate the results obtained by the Russian scientists.

So, I am looking into fun tricks like negative margins and/or padding, but not having too much luck so far.  For anyone that wants to use what I have so far, here is the CSS ( it also includes a piece to round your dashboard):

#plurk-dashboard  {

color: #ffffff;
margin: 0 5px;
padding: 10px;
border: 2px solid #ffffff;
-moz-border-radius: 6px;
-khtml-border-radius: 6px;
-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
border-radius: 6px;
}

.plurk_cnt  {
border: 1px solid #000000;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}

#form_holder
{
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
}

Hope to see you there :)

One of the nice things about being an ugly American is that I make all sorts of ignorant and culturally insensitive remarks about other countries. And as luck would have it, I had that opportunity last week when I visited Montreal. (That’s in Canada.)
The first thing I noticed about Montreal is that it’s a very clean city – like Toronto in that respect. Oh wait – actually, the first thing I noticed was the streets were on fire and full of police and rioting citizens because I guess they won an O-KAY (that’s hockey) game. My flight got in late that night and the taxi driver had to change his routes because the streets were blocked off by police.
Other observations I had were related to confusing things like French-speaking people with the Queen of England on their money and the lack of $1 bills in their currency. Also, the whole “Canadians burned the White House down in 1814? makes me sad inside, but I guess that was a long time ago.

This is a blockquote.  It should hopefully be nicely indented and somewhat obvious that is is indeed a blockquote.  Not very exciting, but handy when writing a real article.

I’m installing it right now, and will see how it plays with my third-party apps.

I seem to have lost a few of my settings, like 24h time, but overall, the upgrade went just fine. Now, I just have to wait for Nullriver and friends to come up with a new version of the Installer.app install, iBrickr, and other nice toys to work with this new firmware update. Or, pass me a winning lottery ticket so I can quit work and lend a hand!
