Over the last year, we’ve had a razor sharp focus on making it as easy as possible for businesses to deploy Google Apps. In the last few months you’ve seen some of the results, from offline Gmail to user directory synchronization to full Blackberry® interoperability.
Today we’re excited remove another key barrier to enterprise adoption of Google Apps with Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook. Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook lets you use Microsoft Outlook seamlessly with Google Apps Premier or Education Editions.
Many business users prefer Gmail’s interface and features to products they’ve used in the past. But sometimes there are people who just love Outlook. For them, we’ve developed Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook. It enables Outlook users to connect to Google Apps for business email, contacts and calendar. And they can always use Gmail’s web interface to access their information when they’re not on their work computer.
Key features include:
Email, calendar, and contacts synchronization. For email, the plug-in uses the offline Gmail protocol, which is much faster than IMAP or other methods.
Free/Busy lookup and Global Address List functionality, which makes it easy to schedule meetings with your colleagues, regardless of whether they use Outlook’s calendar or Google Calendar.
A simple, two-click data migration tool which allows employees to easily copy existing data from Exchange or Outlook into Google Apps.
If some producers suggest chefs slaving away in their sonic kitchens, Black Eyed Peas auteur will.i.am (born William Adams in 1975) specializes in microwaved snacks, flavorful yet empty. The group he forged in the ‘90s forged a critical reputation by proferring light yet earnest hip-hop with a conscience, a change of pace from West Coast gangsta rap. With the addition of singer Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson on recent albums, the Peas have morphed into purveyors of pop jingles: “Let’s Get it Started” (2003), “My Humps” (2005), and now “Boom Boom Pow,” each increasingly annoying. Will.i.am never met a successful formula he couldn’t exploit, and the group’s fifth studio album, “The E.N.D.” (Energy Never Dies) (Interscope), is slathered with vocals electronically altered by the Auto-Tune effect featured on recent singles by everyone from T-Pain to Kanye West (the Peas must’ve missed the memo from Jay-Z, whose latest single, “D.O.A.” proclaims the “death of Auto Tune”). As usual, the mall-friendly music touches on rock, dancehall reggae and electro-pop, a parade of sing-songy hooks, simplistic anthems and silly lyrics (“Fill up my cup/Mazeltoff!”). But Black Eyed Peas do serve a purpose: They personify Big Dumb Fun. After all, “My Humps” or “Boom Boom Pow” aren’t that far removed from “Hey Macarana” or “Who Let the Dogs Out.” Here’s a group that’s managed to turn a string of borderline novelty songs into a highly lucrative career.

Friends, my family was planning to go for a vacation at Connecticut in this month of August. We will be driving on a wonderful road trip. So, when I heard about this upcoming Radio Disney Summer Concert Series at Wildwood, New Jersey at Morey’s Piers, I got so much thrilled because I badly wanted to see this concert even some years before. Then this will be the best time for us because New Jersey is just on the way to our destination at Connecticut. Also, there is a wide selection of Wildwood New Jersey hotels that we can stay while we reach there. So, now I am getting excited to see those top radio Disney artists. I wanted to visit the New Jersey water parks and amusement parks. The concert series will be free within the month of June through August this year. If you are planning as well to have a Jersey Shore beach Vacation this year, then this is the time for you and your family to have a New Jersey Vacation because they have all the fun you need that you can definitely enjoy together with your family.
At Google’s Searchology event, the first feature launched was “Search Options,” a collection of tools that let you slice and dice your results and generate different views to find what you need faster and easier. Search Options helps solve a problem that can be vexing: what query should I ask? The Search Options panel also gives you the ability to view your results in new ways. One view gives you more information about each result, including images as well as text, while others let you explore and iterate your search in different ways.
Also announced, “Google Squared,” a dashboard of facts generated automatically. You can search for general things like “small dogs”, “vegetables”, “US presidents” and Google generates a list of objects that fit into your category, a set of attributes and their values. It looks like a comparison page from Wikipedia, but it’s generated entirely automatically.
Computers, reports the BBC this morning, are dangerous to children. Not because of online predators, brain rot, or decreasing attention spans, but, according to a new study appearing in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, because of kids physically hurting themselves near their home offices.
In what seems to be painfully obvious, researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital Center for Injury Research and Policy in Columbus, Ohio say that acute computer-related injuries are preventable. How? Don’t let children run around computers. As you would with any electrical device, keep open beverage containers at a safe distance. Place monitors in safe, properly stowed positions. If you are carrying a computer, don’t rush. And make sure to get those easily tripped-over cables out of the way.
While all of that may be common sense for most computer-using individuals, the report cites that over 78,000 patients were treated for computer-related injuries in U.S. hospitals from 1994 to 2006. In 2002, for instance, over 30-percent of those injuries were sustained by children under 15.
Though that statistic seems high, almost every American household has a computer, so it would make sense that household-related injuries — kitchen fires, falling down stairs, power tool accidents in the garage — would include the nefarious computer, as well
