Google’s latest addition to their search is Stars. Basically this allows people to remember the good results they got for a particular search term. SO for instance, a lot of people would search for facebook login when they want to login to facebook. This worked fine when facebook.com was returned in the results near enough to the top. However the problem occurred when Google indexed someone elses site or blog post (like this one) and it came up in someones search for facebook. For the non-techy, this lead to considerable anguish, as they couldn’t login to facebook.

So now with Google’s stars, they can always find facebook.com when searching for facebook.

Liverpool 2 – Blackburn 1

Dave — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:43:55 +0000

Liverpool 2 – Blackburn 1 (Premier League, February 28, 2009)

Liverpool broke the deadlock with Blackburn after 19 minutes, Gerrard spread the play to Yossi Benayoun out wide left and, after the Israeli had maneuvered into the box, Steven Gerrard was back on the scene to slip in the opener. A cheeky handball from Jamie Carragher while grounded in the Reds’ box was seen by the officials, allowing Keith Andrews to bring Rovers level from the spot. But then Anfield saw the sight they’ve been missing for much of the season as Fernando Torres was able to restored Liverpool’s lead from a neat Maxi pass.

Movie: Everybody’s Fine

Dave — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 09:59:13 +0000

‘Everybody’s Fine’ is Robert De Niro’s show, and he brings a certain charm and depth to this family drama which tends towards predictability and sentimentality.

De Niro plays Frank Goode, a retired phone-wire factory worker whose wife has recently passed away. Frank spends most of his days out in the garden doing menial tasks, but when he organises a family dinner with his four, now-grown children, he busily begins preparing for their arrival.

His two sons and two daughters are scattered across the US, from New York to Las Vegas, and it’s clear they are not close to their father, and have become even less connected to him since the death of their mother. They all cancel at the last minute, a fact made even more poignant by the effort Frank has put into their visit, buying expensive steaks and a new state-of-the-art barbeque on which to cook them.

So, he takes it upon himself to travel to their homes. After disregarding his doctor’s advice against travelling due to his ill-health, Frank packs his bag and starts his journey to New York to visit his artist son David (Lysy).

After camping outside David’s apartment block in a run-down area of the city – apparently Frank doesn’t do mobile phones – he makes his way to the next on his list – high-flying ad exec Amy (Kate Beckinsale) in Chicago. She hurries him on to Robert (Rockwell), a musician in Denver, after an awkward family dinner. From there, Frank heads to Vegas to visit dancer Rosie (Barrymore), who lives a seemingly glamorous life in the city.

The plot unfolds in a fairly unsurprising fashion, with a looming storm providing a not-so-subtle metaphor for what’s in store. Certain aspects of ‘Everybody’s Fine’ seem a little forced, such as the frequent, lingering shots of phone wires between scenes, repeatedly hitting home the point that the film is about communication.

Despite such gripes, and the occasional feeling that your emotions are being taken advantage of, De Niro’s calm, measured performance gives the film much needed credibility. Barrymore, Beckinsale and Rockwell are all good in their respective roles, but don’t really have too much screen time.

The theme of families losing touch is one that is sure to resonate with most people, and this will make you want to reconnect with yours.

Google Buzz

Dave — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 10:39:41 +0000

The latest buzz (sorry!) on the interweb is Google Buzz (http://buzz.google.com/) is the new all singing and dancing facebook/twitter type thing, from Google.

So while everyone is clamoring to get a piece of the Google Buzz action, spare a thought for the poor Google Wave. Wasn’t that supposed to be the social media’s next best thing? It didn’t stay around for long, is anyone still using it?

And has anyone used Buzz yet?
