I wrote a post on my blog about Google Wave. I have some things I'm going to save for another day, also some videos coming shortly with more information and examples of features in use.

Anyway, check it out here; Surfing Google Wave.

Nice review (Y) Definitely one the better reviews of Google Wave I've seen. I hope Google can increase the invites soon though, as it appears they've stopped invites now, http://www.google.com/support/wave/bin/ans...p;answer=162237

Thank you! You're quite right, the system is sometimes unstable and it makes sense to wait until they are sure they can handle the amount of nominations they are bound to get.

Yea, I'm rather mad at Google because I applied several times both as a user and a developer and received no reply whatsoever. I wonder what's keeping them back from letting everyone at it? It certainly wouldn't crash their servers...

I was nominated as a developer by a friend. Even then my invite took over four days to get to me. You'd actually be surprised at how easy it would be to crash their servers using Wave.

Think about it, it's all real time; 100,000 first wave invites get sent and used. They each get 8 invites on average, 100,000 * 8 = 800,000~ real time requests, of course not all at once, but a good majority of them will be requesting to see other wave members current text.

I was talking to one friend of mine on Wave and we had several "blackouts" where our waves couldn't be synced to the server - we were affected by other members!

Interesting read. I'd be interested in seeing how you get along with creating that robot and how you go about it as I have a few things I want to do in Wave as well. Kinda annoying that so many people want an invite who aren't going to even really use it, whereas I'm sure there's plenty of people out there (like me) who want to try and develop something for it but can't get access!

I'm going to be using Python to create my robot, replace URLs with the requested URL POSTed to the API page :)

I know, it really does suck, I felt like that before I got mine.

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.

      Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.

      It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
