Pay version of Google Apps for your domain coming soon?

google soon to be charging for apps for domainGoogle Apps for your domain allows domain owners to host email services at Google in a similar format to Gmail, with the added benefit of using their own unique domain. Administrators also have the ability to activate Google Talk, Calendar, custom start page, and domain web pages for different user accounts that they create. Google is expected to soon add Docs & Spreadsheets to this list as well, making it a complete online office solution for businesses. But BusinessWeek reports that Google will soon begin charging companies a subscription fee of a few dollars per person, per month. Business users are used to feature rich applications, so this might take some getting used to when it's released in full to the marketplace.

Microsoft has also unveiled Office Live where businesses can have access to web based email, calendar, project and task manager, and a customer organizer for $39.95/month. Zoho has a Virtual Office suite it has brought to the market that has no cost for individuals and $3 per user per month for an online hosted solution, and up to $295 per year for an on-premise solution consisting of webmail, calendar, web docs and sharing, tasks and reports, contacts, notes, bookmarks, instant messaging, WAP access, announcements, and multi-language support.

g4me - Mac OS X widget checks Gmail for Your Domain

g4me - Mac OS X widget checks Gmail for your domainIt's pretty hard to argue that Google's Apps for your Domain service isn't both a genius idea and a powerful option for individuals and small businesses alike to leverage the power of their domain. An unfortunate drawback, however, of these services is that most 3rd party tools, scripts and add-ons built for Google's public apps, like Gmail and Google Calendar, won't work with these same services when they're run on your domain. I remember when I first signed up to poke around with running Gmail on my domain, but then being let down when I realized the Greasemonkey scripts I find so vital to Gmail wouldn't even work.

In the first sign I've seen of 3rd parties embracing Apps for your Domain, a developer named Ahmet Tahar Sakar has created a widget for Mac OS X's Dashboard that can check your domain's Gmail account. It even works with Growl, a system-wide notification utility that can allow any apps to hook in to display visual notifications of events like new email, song changes in iTunes and even device disconnections. Since I'm no longer using Google's services I haven't been able to test this out myself, but if you give it a go please share your thoughts with the rest of the class.

Google unites Apps for Your Domain with domain registrars

Google unites Apps for Your Domain with domain registrars
Google has just announced a partnership with GoDaddy and eNom, two leading domain name registrars, to allow new users of their Apps for Your Domain service to register a domain right from within Google's signup process. This is a killer idea that, in hindsight, sounds like a completely logical step to take, but I bet most didn't even see it coming. After you sign up for a Google Account or log in to their service signup page, you are how offered the ability to enter your existing domain to get the process started, or search for and purchase a domain if you don't already have one. As icing on the cake, Google is even including private registration (typically ~ $2-3/year/domain) if you buy your domain through this new feature.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
