Alas! The terrible things they’re teaching my kids in schools these days, probably funded by Microsoft’s OnMyWay program!
I went to visit my son’s class today, and discovered that they’d been submitting proposals for patents, their teachers clearly no fans of innovation….

If you have an iPhone synced with Address Book.app, then you’ve been able to sync your contacts with Yahoo for a while now, but something that has been missing is Google sync. Sure, you can always use Spanning Sync, but we all want something free and built-into the OS. Well, those dreams are now true according to a new Google blog post and the introduction of Mac OS X 10.5.3.
On the Mac you normally sync your iPhone with, you will see a new option when you open the “General” tab in Address Book preferences. When you check “Synchronize with Google” you can enter your Google credentials and syncing will proceed. Apple and Google did leave some people out, however, as this new feature works only on Macs that have an iPhone synced with iTunes.
Thanks, Nathan and Ryan!

Capossela’s assumption that Microsoft will be able to charge companies more under the cloud model seems optimistic, given the different economics of providing software as a Web service and the aggressive pricing strategies of cloud pioneers like Google, Zoho, and Amazon.
Put more bluntly, there’s not a chance in Hades that Microsoft will be able to charge more for its cloud-based offerings–not when its competitors are using the cloud to pummel its desktop and server-based offerings. This is something that Microsoft (and everyone else) is simply going to have to get used to. The go-go days of outrageous software margins are over. Done.
