GooG Reader Welcomes GooG Apps Users

In its Official GooGle Reader Blog, The gang at GReader on Friday announced that
"Google Apps recently launched an improvement that made dozens of exciting Google services available to Google Apps users for the first time. As part of this launch, Google Reader is now available to our Google Apps users for free with their Apps accounts."
While it's gratifying to feel welcomed, my GooG Apps account has had reader and a number of other GooGly GooDies longer than that.  A few months, like.  We even got Wave in the deal! But wouldn't you know it, we were screwed in the Orkut, YouTube and BUZZ departments.

No one is saying when - or if - the good people of GooG Apps Island  will ever see those delicious gems of Goodness.

Which is a crying shame, because even with the nice notices GooG places at the top of Reader that remind me which account I'm using (bless you for that) I still am miserably confused when it comes to which OpenID I used to create oh, say, my Diigo account.  Or which GooG Blogger is carrying which Blog.

I know, it's a small thing, but if I was working and not just schooling full time, I'd never have the time to de-tangle my synapses from the different accounts, and the different application accesses each have.

But Hey, things are going to get better, right???



WORD.

Wired Breasts Cover Sparks Controversy


I found the cover of my copy was 'removed' by my wife. I have two daughters, 11 and 15 and she was uncomfortable with having it around.



While I appreciate her discomfort I can also appreciate the POV of the author. If there wasn't such a huge market of breast-enhancement seekers that such surgery could be considered 'cosmetic' then there wouldn't have been an opportunity for the technology to be developed and proven so quickly. And this is changing women's lives in a dramatically positive way.



Perhaps you could consider this another "It's a fair cop, but society is to blame" instances. Either way I'm glad the article was written and shared, and that the procedure was made possible.
