Looks like Hurricane Tropical Storm Ernesto is heading right for Florida…what great timing, since I am moving this week. In the meantime, since I still don’t even have a place to move to, and the impending storm, there might be a few less updates than usual. I appoligize in advance.

Google announced today a beta version of Google Apps for Your Domain, which includes Gmail with 2 gigabytes of storage, Google Calendar, Google Talk and Page Creator.

The new service is an extension of Gmail for Your Domain, a service that Google launched in beta version in February. It allows organizations to use Gmail applications with their own e-mail address, instead of the “@gmail.com” domain.

I’ve been using Gmail for my Domain’s email, and it works flawlessly. I think this is the perfect option for a small business looking to find a cheaper entry into the Office Suite of products. I don’t know why they don’t include Google Spreadsheets and Writely, but I’m sure in the future they will be offered.

If you already have Gmail for your Domain, you can simply go into and Manage your domain, and add these new features. I have tried to access my Calendar which isn’t up and working yet.

I don’t think I want to use Google Pages to change my entire domain, but i do have a Google Talk account that is me (at) NickStarr.com, instead of just the NickStarr (at) gmail.com account.

Should I upgrade? The Blackberry Pearl comes out the day after my birthday (9/11 being my birthday), and it is pretty much a BB/SK3 hybrid.

It has all of the Blackberry features that I’ve grown to become addicted to, and the camera, mp3 player, etc that the SK3 had up on the BB.

I have never used the SureType keyboard, and have heard mixed reviews from friends who use it. I guess that is the major thing holding me back.  I wish they had all of these features coming out on a 8700 style’d model. Maybe I will wait until that happens.

Yet another 3 commercials from the Get a Mac compaign. I personally don’t find them as funny as the others, but then again that might be since my friends and I use (or misuse) the term “touche” quite a bit now.

Also, is it just me, or did they add a bit of gradient to the bottom of the screen?

Accident:

Check out the other two here: Angel/Demon & Trust Mac.

Apple has started to recall some iBook and PowerBook batteries because they contain a battery cell produced by Sony that is a fire hazard.

• 12-inch iBook G4 battery (battery model number A1061) with a battery serial number falling within the ranges of ZZ338 through ZZ427, 3K429 through 3K611 or 6C510 through 6C626

• 12-inch PowerBook G4 battery (battery model number A1079) with a battery serial number falling within the ranges of ZZ411 through ZZ427 or 3K428 through 3K611

• 15-inch PowerBook G4 battery (battery model numbers A1078 and A1148) with a battery serial number falling within the ranges of 3K425 through 3K601, 6N530 through 6N551 or 6N601

I know a few friends with laptops with these serial numbers. Make sure to forward this to anyone who might have an iBook or PowerBook.

If you have one of these batteries, contact Apple at (800) 275-2273 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. CT Monday through Sunday or log on to Apple’s Web site to check the battery’s serial number and request a replacement battery.
