Homepages Web 2.0 Style

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Ah what to say about Homepage Startup. Its like someone took your favorite “homepage” of the 90s and run it through a Web 2.0 washer. It came out cleaner and smaller, and almost as useful. For me my “homepage” is my Alesti RSS reader or my Gmail so this really has little use to me. Someone will find use for homepage startup but without ads or any way of sustaining itself it looks to be smeared by other better funded sites. The site does have some nice ajaxy features about it. Like being able to move the boxes around and easily adding URLs without going through their registration process. Interesting Web 2.0 exorcise, get a peek before they run out of cash.

Track and Optimize to a Healthier Diet

Over here at NoHeat we are deliberately trying to watch what we eat. Too many late night coding binges can add to the bottom line. Besides it’s in vogue to eat well and take care of yourself. The problem is there really isn’t a easy way to know how to eat healthier without causing your self to become some kind of food expert. What if there was a way to input the food you eat into a database that could automatically make recommendations? Thats where TheDailyPlate comes in handy.

iWatch - Apple’s Next Big Thing

We are hearing that Apple is readying a iWatch device that will be sold in the $299 range. Basically the device is based around a 2 Gig chip and a screen that allows for some touch screen coolness. This actually makes perfect sense for people who already carry around enough electronics in their pockets from uber geeks to someone who just wants to workout without dropping their precious $300 device on the ground.

Gmail Broken, is your email being labeled SPAM?

Everyone here at NoHeat relies on the almighty Gmail for work, and really cannot imagine using any other client for reading email. The problem is there seems to be something broken with the Gmail spam filters over the last few weeks. Over 30% of our regular email is ending up in the spam folder (which is called a false positive) all of a sudden. This may not be a big issue for those of us who only use the web client but for those of us who download using Thunderbird or Outlook could be missing critical emails. The first thing we noticed was at first being deluged by SPAM and then all of a sudden like the spigot being turned off the SPAM stopped. With the SPAM stoppage so did our everyday emails. It seems like they must have made a very aggressive update to the spam filter, even stopping emails to people we have sent email to already. This isn’t just affecting one or two accounts we have over 20 here that are having issues. Hopefully Google can roll back their changes and let us use our email again. Moral of the story, Google is fickle don’t forget to check your spam folder every once in a while, you never know.

The answer is no.
