A lot of people tend to have an attitude that the effects of Global Warming are going to show up hundreds of years from now and by then we would have done something to encounter them. Well, guess what, that’s not true. Global Warming is here and now. It’s already starting altering the planet and its happening faster than anyone ever imagined.
If the answer for this question is yes, then you are in luck. Of course, you would need to have a lot of money. Emirates has announced that it has made available two shower Spas on board their A380 planes (of course there is some time before you see these giants in the air yet). This facility is available for first class passengers. Just like a real spa, you will need to make appointments ahead of time so that your spa session can be prepared by dedicated personnel.
Personally, I think this is whacky. Although, I also think that if I had the money, I would go for it. Incidentally, I wonder if this increases the price of the first class ticket. I mean carrying so much water has got to have its cost associated with it. Here’s a picture, and you can click on it to visit the Emirates site where they have more pictures and videos of this facility:
Google finally gave way to massive requests for PDF support to be added to Google Docs. There were a number of users who felt that this was a sorely missing feature in Google’s offering. I guess you don’t have much of a choice if you get comments such as this one asking you to give this feature:
"If you’re listening O Great Google Demi-Gods, we supplicate
thee for PDF storage!!"
While this is a welcome feature, it is still far away from being a full-fledged module of Google Office. Currently, you can do the following:

“Time travel works!” the note read. “However you can only travel to the past and one-way.” I recognized my own handwriting and felt a chill.
Second Place:
I reviewed Zemanta quite a while back as a very decent idea but with still a ways to go on proper implementation. Today I happened to read a review on one of my favorite sites, The Web Worker Daily. And their verdict is the same as mine. the images just don’t cut it yet.
To remind everyone, Zemanta installs as a browser plugin and adds a nifty little feature which suggests to you images and links for the post that you are typing based on what you are typing. An excellent idea, if it works.
It has been all over the Internet: the complete integration of SalesForce and Google Apps. But here’s a little bit which is not so well known. SalesForce actually first wanted to integrate with Zoho and were well into development doing so. However, they played a dirty card and offered to acquire Zoho instead, which Zoho of course refused.
This entry on the Zoho Blogs by Sridhar gives out the details about this engagement. It also gives details on how helpful Google was to allow integration with Google Gears.
Google announced yesterday that the Google spiders will now fill out forms to access dynamically generated pages which till now were inaccessible to search engines. This gives Google the ability to start indexing the Deep Web.
Google promises to follow “good Internet citizenry practices”, but then again not a lot of people trust Google:
