Don’t panic if Gmail or other Google Apps are inaccessible or down. Just head to Google Dashboard. Introduced after the recent Gmail outage, Google Dashboard shows the ‘health’ condition of Google Apps and its current status.
Other alternatives to consider in order to stay updated with Google Apps status are by subscribing Google Apps email alert or its RSS and Google Apps forum.
Following Google on Twitter is good idea too.
Erm, where is Google Adsense or Google Reader?

The biggest improvement on Office Live Workspace recently is obviously the new 5GB free storage. If before this you relied on Live Skydrive to keep the work document, 5GB is more than enough now to keep it. No more hassle to view/modified the document (psst..when Live Skydrive will be integrated with Office Live Workspace )
Beside the additional size, Office Live Workspace allow user creating blank workspace or folder, instead of the default pre-defined folder contained unwanted files. Again, no more hassle clearing up the folder.
And last not least, users can now directly utilizing the new cut/copy and paste to move file from one folder to another, instead of File/Move feature before.
Just choose the file, copy/cut the file, go to other folder, and paste it there. Done!
If it is not because of the benchmark result that confirm Safari 4 is faster than Firefox and the rest of web browser, I’m probably still not using full version Safari browser. I do use Safari, but only on Iphone.
But before that, there is something I want to show you. This post was initially drafted in WordPress using Safari 4 beta, but I was hit by 1 bug when I attempt to create link using WordPress’s add/edit link feature. The lightbox JavaScript covered the whole page including the windows where I suppose to add the URL. It stay there with nothing I can do except close that page. Quite disappointing.
Let’s forget that. Despite that unwanted bug (or probably my computer setup, I’ve no idea), there are 150 features that you can try it out although normal user like me won’t probably use 100% of them. As this is Apple’s product, you can expect the minimalistic but excellent user interface, beauty, tough and etc.
Back to the real reason of this post which is about the benchmark, Safari 4 and the rest of its rival were fared against each other in rendering Javascript using SunSpider. The result put the Safari 4 beta on the top of the list (smaller the better) with IE7 on distant last position.
1) Safari 4 (Total time: 910ms)
2) Mozilla Minefield 3.2a1 (1,136ms)
3) Google Chrome (1,177ms)
4) Firefox 3 (3,250ms)
5) Opera 9.6 (4,076ms)
6) Internet Explorer 8 (5,839ms)
7) Internet Explorer 7 (39,026ms)
The milliseconds gap between them is hardly can be noticed by human eye, but since the point of the benchmark is to show who is the fastest, it still a win for Safari 4. But the result is critical figure to the web browser developer, as a selling point to compete for bigger chunk of web browser market.
It still early to say if I’ll start using Safari frequently. I have IE, Firefox, Flock, Avant and Chrome on this computer and Safari 4 is just another addition to my web browser collection. I end up with Firefox and Chrome, and Safari might be next.
Apple fan might have downloaded it once it is released, but for anybody else, you can try it here.
The entrance of Google onto Twitter has further cement, Twitter status as one of the most powerful tools on the internet. It definitely boost Twitter image, given the ‘superstar’ status Google currently hold.
It has only 6 updates as of today. Yesterday, when I followed Google, it already has 7k followers. Today the number is almost doubled. If the trend continues, it won’t be difficult for Google to be the most followed user in Twitter, which is currently hold by Obama.
Yahoo at the other hand has only 3k followers.Meanwhile, Microsoft has only 216 followers, but with zero update.
