Netgear has announced their Gigabit wireless networking package built on 802.11n. Gizmodo has the scoop. So now I guess I have to decide whether to re-fit my house with Gigabit switches or just go wireless. This is actually a somewhat compelling option for me, especially since I frequently grab TV shows from my Media Center and put them on my laptop. Even with my current 100Mb network, it can take a while.
Finally! The one online application I have been waiting for!! Google Calendar is finally a reality. To me, this is the killer web app. The pieces are all slowly coming together. Search Engine Journal has an article on it. What's that, you say? MSN has one already? Yeah, I know, I've been using it for a couple years and it's a piece of crap. Google's Calendar is more functional and useful for me already. It is also integrated with Google Maps, so if you enter an address for the location of your calendar event, you'll get a link to map the location. Check out the calendar sharing. And the natural language event entry processor. Cool stuff.
