If I was at Google, I think my 20% project would be adding voice support to Google Calendar. It would be pretty sweet to be able to press a button on my phone and say “February 3rd, 3PM, doctor’s appointment, remind 1 hour”. It would read back what it heard and you’d say “confirm” to set it.

I guess it would be like Jott but free, and not requiring phone calls. Your voice would be HTTP POST’d up to the server or something like that.

I realize I’m probably way late to the game here, but for whatever reason I did not notice this problem until today. Comcast has started responding to bogus DNS requests, sending people to some crap-tastic search portal.

Up until now Comcast hasn’t given me too much to complain about. The service is reliable, the speed is good, they usually get techs out when needed. But this right here is despicable Internet-breaking behavior. I hope it backfires on them in a very big way.

They do offer a method that supposedly allows you to opt-out, I’m waiting to see how that works out.
