iPhone & Google Sync

Finally, I can sync my Google Apps calendar with my iPhone. Nuevasync was only able to do this for normal @gmail.com accounts, but not for BYOD (bring your own domain) accounts. Check out Google Sync, but remember that you have to activate it first if you have a Google Apps account.

Wow! Good and Free Language Lessons.

Very rarely do I see such a good idea implemented so well. The site, www.livemocha.com, starts off with some basic language lessons similar to software you would purchase on CD-ROM, but then it takes your writing or recorded audio in a foreign language and asks native speakers to evaluate your work. In return, you are asked to evaluate the work of others in your own native language. The site is heavily dependent on Flash, but it worked flawlessly for me. Did I mention that it was free? It may not be as good as tutorial session over skype, but those cost $20 to $40 per hour.
