الان برای اولین بار بعد از چند سال موقع دسترسی به Gmail با یک خطا روبرو شدم: Temporary Error (502)
اول از همه حیرت زده فکر کردم به خاطر آدرس آی پی ایران باشه و تاسف خوردم که چرا مثل همیشه با VPN وارد نشدم. اما باز هم فرقی نکرد. کمی جستجو کردم جایی خواندم که با IE مشکل حل میشه اما نشد. در هر صورت به نظر میرسه این مشکل گریبانگیر خیلی ها بشه و اگه ادامه پیدا کنه حتی روی کاهش ارزش سهام گوگل هم موثر بشه. تا الان که گوگل رسما چیزی اعلام نکرده. اگر شما هم این مشکل را دارید بگویید. من شدیدا نگران ایمیل هایم هستم.
اگر شما هم مثل من باشید مطمئنا ایمیل های نخوانده ی زیادی دارید. گاهی برخی ایمیل هایی که توسط سایت هایی خاص به به دستمان می رسند را نمی خوانیم ولی آنها را پاک هم نمیکنیم. حالا مدت زیادی گذشته و برخی از این ایمیلهای نخوانده به صفحات بعد رفته اند. حالا فرض کنید شما میخواهید جیمیلتان را صفر کنید تا دیر هر بار در قسمت Inbox خود نبینید که 30 ایمیل جدید دارید در حالی که هیچ ایمیل جدیدی موجود نیست و اینها همان ایمیلهای نخواندهی قبلی هستند.
برای این که زحمت بازگشت صفحه به صفحه و پاک کردن یا مارک کردن ایمیلهای قدیمی خوانده نشده به صورت خوانده ضده را به خود بدهید یک را ساده وجود دارد که میتوانید از آن استفاده کنید.
نترسید راه بسیار آسان است. تنها لازم است در قسمت جستجو در gmail خود عبارت “label:unread” را جستوجو کنید بدون صرف زمان همه ی ایمیلهای خوانده نشده برایتان نمایش داده میشود.

ShareThis reports that it is now.
How do website readers prefer to share stories they find with friends? According to the company behind the widely used sharing widget ShareThis, after emailing a link, the most popular method of sharing is now Facebook. The numbers are interesting - but there are also some big caveats to keep in mind.
In our enthusiasm for Web 2.0 style tools, many blog publishers may forget just how popular sharing by email is. It's clearly the favorite method. Email sharing does tend to be one to one however, having items shared on Digg or Facebook has the potential to reach many, many more people.
The big surprise here, though, is that Facebook and MySpace have emerged as hugely popular ways to share items from off-site. Have they found greater mainstream success in the relatively short time these sites have supported item sharing than dedicated social bookmarking sites have in the years they have been online? It appears that may be the case.
We found these numbers via Amit Agarwal's blog, which is always a great place to discover new things about the web.
When publishers add the ShareThis system to their websites, they can choose which services to include buttons for. It's an important detail to take into consideration and knowing which services are most popular can help make this decision. Here at RWW we don't use ShareThis, we use another service called AddThis. Looking at the numbers from ShareThis, though, would lead us to believe that sharing by email needs to be added and sharing by Facebook needs to be given higher billing in our widget. Other sites might make other decisions based on this data. GigaOm, for example, doesn't offer sharing by Facebook at all - something our friend Om might want to change.
A few things to take into consideration, however, include the following:
None the less, the take away here for us is this: email, Facebook and MySpace are very popular ways for people to share things online. Publishers neglect them at our own risk.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Olympics are off to a good, but not amazing start on the Internet. Over the first three days, NBC's online coverage drew an average of 4.7 million viewers per day, with the numbers steadily rising over the weekend. So far, Sunday was the most watched day, with 5.1 million total users and 3.42 million streams. According to the same article, only 0.2% of all viewers exclusively used the Internet to watch the Games, while 90% used the traditional TV coverage exclusively and 10% used both the Internet and TV.
As we have pointed out before, this year's Olympic Games represent a major departure from NBC's traditionally conservative way of using the Internet for covering major sports events. While this year, NBC offers about 3,600 hours of live online coverage, the Turin games only saw 2 hours of live streaming video. Based on the numbers so far, it would seem that the online coverage is not detracting from the traditional TV coverage at all, but, at least for the majority of viewers, merely a secondary source for coverage. At the same time, though, it's important to point out that, at least for American viewers, so far only the swimming competition has really seen a lot of excitement and media hype - as the Games continue, these early numbers could easily change very quickly.
There are a number of other interesting bits of information in the data from NBC, including that face that the average time people spent watching video on the NBC site so far is under 15 minutes and was as low as 10 minutes on Friday. This is very much in line with how people use Internet video on other sites like YouTube. NBC did not specify how many viewers watched the live coverage and how many of them just viewed already recorded clips. Judging from this number, it would almost seem as if most viewers wither decided to mostly watch prerecorded clips, or that they did not stick around for the live coverage for very long.

Over the weekend, we had quite some time to play with NBC's video player, and while the overall experience was good and the video quality was actually very good and the streams never stuttered once, the video player itself is a bit of a disappointment. Why, for example, is there no full-screen mode available?
Also, the much touted "Live Video Control Room," where you can watch up to 4 streams at a time, is pretty much useless because of the miniscule size of the videos. Also, as Chris Albrecht points out, the user interface and navigation of the site is often confusing.
Overall, though, it seems these Olympic Games will hopefully change the way TV executives think about online coverage. Clearly, the online coverage is not detracting from TV viewership and if anything, is enhancing the way people relate to the events, especially in a year where the large time difference and the time-delay of the TV coverage become such an important issue. While the overall numbers for online viewership are maybe not as high as some others expected, we will have to see what happens during the week now, where many viewers might start watching the online streams from work.
Today at SIGGRAPH ’08, HP announced a number of workstation laptops. Leading pack is the EliteBook 8730w Mobile Workstation with DreamColor display. DreamColor displays supposedly offer exceptional color accuracy. The 17-inch notebook features an Intel quad-core proc, up to 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia Quadro FX card.
Also announced were the EliteBook 8530w Mobile Workstation and 8530p Notebook PC. They’re both 15.4-inch lappys with Intel Core 2 Duo procs and supports up to 8GB of RAM. The 8530w, however, can support a quad-core mobile proc from Intel.
The 8730w starts out at $1,699 and will be available later this month while the 8530 series starts out at $1,499 and begins shipping in September.

This isn’t soooo bad, I suppose, but apparently about 55 seconds of the opening ceremony for the Olympics this year was rendered as computer-generated imagery, or CGI as we like to call it 95% of the time. While I was all set to slam my broken-hearted fist down on my desk, screaming “How could you?!! You bastards!!!”, it turns out that the part that was computer generated actually did happen in real-life, it just had to be CGI’d for safety reasons.
The sequence in question was a series of 28 footprints made of fireworks happily clomping across the sky. Here’s what happened, according to TechRadar UK…
Speaking to The Beijing Times, an advisor to the Beijing Olympic Committee (BOCOG) defended the decision: "It would have been prohibitive to have tried to film it live," he said.
"We could not put the helicopter pilot at risk by making him try to follow the firework route."
To emulate the shot, the visual effects team actually put a slight camera shake on to the image, and even spoke to the Beijing meteorological office to ask them how to recreate the Beijing smog.
So yeah, maybe they should have put a little disclaimer on the TV, but the fact that it actually happened live and just was too dangerous to film makes it sting a bit less.

Aye-chee-wah-wah. Here’s the new Lara Croft; former gymnast Alison Carroll of Croydon, a borough of London. I can’t stand Angelina Jolie – can’t stand her – so it brings me great joy to see that she can retire and I can finally like Tomb Raider again.
Granted, Miss Carroll won’t really be playing the role of Lara Croft in a movie anytime soon, but “she will appear at promotions and conferences in character, performing stunts such as back flips, and will play the part in TV commercials. Miss Carroll will even answer questions on chat shows as Lara, after taking a crash course in archaeology,” according to the Daily Mail.
More photos after the jump.


As a gymnast, Carroll has performed for Prince Charles (hold the jokes, please) and has coached younger gymnasts and “choreographed the routine for the junior team that won the British National Championships.” After winning the role of Lara Croft, Carroll quit her job as a receptionist to begin training for her new endeavor.
