Is it just me or is something wrong with Google sometimes. I found myself searching Google to see if it was possible to restart the ALG process on a Juniper SRX router. These are the results that came up. The first 2 pretty normal, expected even, but then it just starts getting weird.

Hi everyone. I’ve decided to do a complete site redesign and simplify things a little bit. I’ve found some renewed interest in keeping this site alive and vibrant in recent weeks and I want to keep it about the content.  I look forward to putting up some quality content on a regular basis again. Please let me know what kind of content you want to see from me, Reviews, Previews, hardware hacks, software hacks, how-to’s, instructional videos or something else I’m not thinking of just let mo know on twitter @liamm

The rumor mill has been churning pretty heavy leading up to NAB that Apple would be announcing a new version of their much loved Final Cut video editing suite.

As it turns out the rumors were true and Apple has officially announced Final Cut X which Apple is calling a complete rewrite of the suite bringing full 64-bit compatibility and Grand Central Dispatch integration to take advantage of up to 8 Cores, this is going to come in handy as FCX it capable of dealing with everything from SD video up to 4K formats.

I was lucky enough to receive a Google Wave invitation in the second round of invites google sent out.

After the initial excitement of being one of the lucky invitees wore off I lent a more critical eye to what Google’s touted as an Email replacement.

So far to me it’s looking a lot like a combination of Instant Messenger, MySpace, IRC and WhiteBoard. I’m not seeing the Email replacement so far for one reason and one reason only. There’s no way to add someone to a wave without adding them to your contact list (At least that I’ve found so far in my incessant searching).

To me this is a deal breaker for an Email replacement, especially if you send a lot of messages to people once and then never need to contact them again. I can see the contact list getting WAY out of control. Hopefully this will be changed in the final release.

Other than that I can see Wave being incredibly useful for anything that requires a lot of back and forth or collaboration.

The big news the past couple weeks has been the announcement that Google is working on a lightweight OS named “Chrome OS” which Google hopes to have widely adopted for NetBook use. Google wants to do to the OS what they did to the browser with Chrome. In their words go back to basics they want the OS to be speedy simple and secure. The idea is that users won’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. Sounds good right?
