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.

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
