Where is Google Apps free edition?
The thing is I want to move all e-mails from one of my domains to Google Apps. Unfortunately, Google doesn’t offer free edition (or standard edition), which is allowing up to 50 users only, anymore. After finding for the link for Google Apps standard edition for a while, I just found out that Google started moving Apps, GMail, docs, etc. to be paid service only.
Not like Google at all huh? I started wonder whether Google will force everyone paying for used-to-be-free service or not although Google said that it was free before.
However, in this transient state, you still are able to signup for Google Apps: standard edition by this link. It works now. I don’t know how long this link is going to last though and more importantly, how long this free Google Apps lasts. If you are using it, just backing up all your mail data more often. That should do it! =) I just hope that Google would honor free edition as they claimed when we signed up. No new features? that’s not a problem. For me, GMail engine solely is the factor here. I bet most users are the same.

JavaScript playground: anything possible
I couldn’t believe it can do such a capability. Yes, the one pushing JavaScript to limit is not anyone, but Google and at http://www.chromeexperiments.com/ there are a lot of experiments that you don’t even dream of its possibility.
This NY guys are speaking because of you. This one is real fun to play with. Bouncing ball through many windows. What a cool thing!! I couldn’t stop throwing the ball again and againYeah, they mostly work on every new browsers because of intensive JavaScript. Just don’t expect to play on this playground if you are running with ie6 or something like that =)
Anything is possible and indeed fun @ Chrome Experiments.

Google Chrome: completing the circle of Google’s world
This might be the day Google trying to complete their circle after playing around web applications from the beginning.
Google Chrome is the browser based on AppleWebkit, the core that drives Safari nowadays. It sure is the proved solid browser.
Now it’s only on Windows OS. I could tell that it’s surprisingly fast, clean and nice UI. It’s also imported all my bookmarks from Firefox without a hitch. I’m pretty sure of that Google will release this on every OSes soon.
Now Google already moves to build its own platform. It just surprises me that they haven’t chosen Gecko as their platform after released so many add-ons for it. Probably it is way too many to be able to support them all [and other's too].
However, the only thing that keeps me using Firefox, instead of ie8 and others, is its add-ons!! Will see how Google will react on that issue.
