The long awaited Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was released today.
And I’m telling you guys, with each release and release this thing gets better and better, closer and closer to a proper desktop OS.
Some of the veteran readers here might remember my short experiment with using Ubuntu as my main OS instead of Windows. I’m actually kinda itchin’ to try it out again.. Err.. Maybe some time soon..
Well, Get Ubuntu..!

The Official Gmail Blog has announced a couple of days ago that Gmail for Mobile 2.0 was released.
It’s a must have app on your cell phone, and it’s definitely the most used app on my Nokia N95.
Version 2.0 is designed to be more reliable in low signal areas and provides basic offline support for phones like the Nokia N95, Sony Ericsson W910i, and BlackBerry Curve. You can now log into multiple accounts (including both Gmail and Google Apps email accounts) at the same time. Switching between them is as easy as a few button clicks or just hitting + j on phones that have a QWERTY keyboard. Google also added support for multiple mobile drafts, undo (using the menu or the z shortcut), and sending mail in the background (no more staring at the “Sending…” dialog until it finally gets sent). Be sure to check the help page from Gmail for mobile’s main menu for a list of all keyboard shortcuts.
To download Gmail for mobile version 2.0, just go to m.google.com/mail in your mobile browser.

There have been no new post here since early last month. I’ve actually been away for quite some time. A long spell of family vacation, then some army duties, coupled with the high holidays…
In any case, I’m back.

While everyone is going crazy about the new Google browser that was released to Beta today (Google Chrome) - Google actually released something a lot more exciting for me today.
This news item can easily be overlooked, but its a big deal for us Israelis.
Google has FINALLY released today the proper Hebrew version of Google Maps. This means we can finally use Google Maps for navigating in Israel, and even in Hebrew.
YAAAAY!!!
If you’re an Israel, and/or speak Hebrew, check it out.
