Go me! http://roosenmaallen.com/2007/12/23/i-annoyed-google-go-me/ http://roosenmaallen.com/2007/12/23/i-annoyed-google-go-me/#comments Sun, 23 Dec 2007 15:56:35 +0000 Eddie Roosenmaallen http://roosenmaallen.com/2007/12/23/i-annoyed-google-go-me/ I’m too impatient to wait for Calculator.app to load, or for the Calculator dashboard widget to catch up with me. The solution? Google.

If my computer is turned on, there’s generally a web browser open. Google Calculator meets my needs, and it’s faster than opening a local app or taking my boots off (if I need to count past 10).The downside? Apparently it annoys Google if you do it a lot:

WD’s Pink Passport
Looks like a nice little unit: 250GB, USB2.0, &c.

As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, WD will make a dontation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for each pink Passport drive sold. Going one step further than most, WD’s donations will continue beyond month’s end – they will continue until February 29.
