Cool Site of the Week: Topeka

Google-erm Topeka, is a new company that is using google's domain name, google.com.  It looks like google, searches like google, even emails like google.  But wait, it's actually google's new name!  Apparently a town in this strange land called Kansas (I think its in Japan?) renamed itself from Topeka to Google in order to convince Google to give them their new fiber optic network.  So, Google in turn renamed itself Topeka. 

This new Google has some really cool and innovative features.  Topeka has an Email client similar to Gmail, and with many of its cool features.  It can, incredibly, send and receive email in minutes!  You can even send images!
It also has a remarkably extensive search feature.  You can search the ENTIRE internet for images, websites, even video.  I can now find videos of cats playing the piano in a matter of seconds.  I don't know how I could live without this!  You can also search Topeka Maps to find places and streets just by typing in the address! 

So that's this weeks innovative and brand new website Topeka.  And remember, happy  April Fools Day.

What could Conficker C do?

This very prolific and enigmatic virus has been waiting. Conficker C is a worm, it infects many PC's. After studying the code, experts have concluded that something is going to happen on April 1st. It may shut down a computer or cause a flood of spam, we don't know yet. Just be careful out on web, you can see more info from Symantec. Be careful out there.

DSi Arriving April 5th

Nintendo's new DS, with a camera and DSiWare (think a DS version of WiiWare) is slated for release. It has already been out in Japan for several months now, in Black and White colors. The DSi will be arriving in the states on April 5th for $170. Quite a jump from the DS Lite's $120 price. Oh, and it will be in either a black or slightly illness-inducing blue (but only if you don't fork over the money to preorder one). The DSiWare will also be released that day and be on sale for a whopping $2.
