Posted: 17 Jun 2009 02:38 PM PDT



After trying their luck in PC Business by selling their Disney-themed desktop last five years ago, here again, Walt Disney Co. wih the cooperation and partnership of Asus introduced and launched their so called Disney Netpal, made especially for the kids aging 6 to 12 years. This gadget for kids has the following specs:

  • 8.9 inch display
  • Wi-Fi Capabilities
  • Kid-friendly softwares
  • Parental Control Options
  • Run with Windows XP Home
  • Powered by Intel Atom N270 Processor
  • 1 GB system memory
  • 160-GN Hard Drive
  • Built-in 0.3-megapixel Camera

And speaking of wi-fi and other internet connections capability, Disney Netpal has more than 40 parental-control options. Parents can set up filters to limit access to certain websites. They can add some websites but only if Parents will submit the request to its PC's password-protected system.

Disney Netpal will be available at the United States later this July at Toys "R" Us and Amazon.com for a suggested retail price of $350. And Disney is planning to have it available at Europe and Asia at the end of the year.

Google and Microsoft for Outlook Plugins

Posted: 17 Jun 2009 02:05 PM PDT



Google has built this what they call Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook which is a very useful tool for users and business people to continue using some of their plugins even if they are now switching to Google Apps. In addition, the team focuses on allowing Outlook users to connect to Google Apps for business email, contacts and calendar. But the problem is, some users having plugins with their outlook cannot continue to work with the Google Apps Sync for Microsoft.



And Last Tuesday, Chris Vander Mey, Senior Product Manager, Google Apps, highlighted some of this unworkable plugins:
  1. Microsoft Office Outlook Connector
  2. Acrobat PDF Maker Toolbar
  3. Outlook Change Notifier

Programs that interact directly to outlook data file:
  1. Windows Desktop Search
  2. PGP.com's encryption plugin

So far, Google Apps team is currently working with Microsoft and other partners for the resolution of these bugs.
