“Gmail voice and video chat makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and family using your computer’s microphone and speakers. But until now, this required both people to be at their computers, signed into Gmail at the same time. Given that most of us don’t spend all day in front of our computers, we thought, “wouldn’t it be nice if you could call people directly on their phones?”
Starting today, you can call any phone right from Gmail.”

Lately the four main web hosting options are shared, VPS, dedicated, or a cloud based solution. I’ll follow up on this article at a later date with my experience with Amazon’s cloud solution. We are rolling out a magento install into the cloud in a few weeks and I’ll be commenting on how that goes. To start off, what is VPS web hosting?
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a hosting environment that combines the benefits of both shared hosting and dedicated hosting. It does this by creating a virtual server that runs inside a hardware server via a specially designed partition. So why would you need one over shared hosting?
The top VPS Hosting providers according to Web Hosting Geeks are:
Android Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) was launched recently as part of Android 2.2. C2DM enables third-party developers to push lightweight data messages to the phone. C2DM created a nice opportunity for us to pull together different Google developer tools to create a simple but useful application to enable users to push links and other information from their desktop / laptop to their phone. The result was Chrome to Phone – a 20-percent time project at Google.
Chrome to Phone comprises a Chrome Extension, an Android Application, and a Google AppEngine server. All of the code is open sourced and serves as a nice example of how to use C2DM.
I really can’t wait for the 2.2 update to my phone.

Hi all,
some of you may have noticed this site is no longer on the gpowered.net domain. I’ve been wanting to move onto wordpress for a while now and also do some additional writing beyond code stuffs which would be outside of the scope of gpowered. I also unfortunately (or fortunately because I love my job) don’t have as much time as I used to to research and post how to’s. Heavy django and magento going on lately, I’ll try to post about those.
There are two RSS links at the top, RSS has everything on this site including gpowered. the gpowered RSS will continue to contain only tech articles.
Let me know of any issues on the new site
