Pricing comparison of tax software packages
You have until the 17th this year - even so, get moving.

I hear/say these all the time:
"That's weird..."
"It's never done that before."
"How is that possible?"
"There is something funky in your data."
"It works on my machine"
I really like the Ask.com aerial images at close proximity. I think they have some of the newest satellite images. Even though they look to be simply extrapolating in the closest views.
National News: TechCrunch, News.com, eBiz, and the Guardian UK to name just a few sources.
This morning I thought how great it would be if weather could be incorporated into my Google Calendar so I wouldn't have to go elsewhere for that info. A brief Google search turned up that The Weather Underground already has weather in iCal format and that Google has already added it to its public calendar offering. Just search the public calendars for "weather and your city or zip code" and you can add it as a calendar. Now all it needs is nice little icons.
Following up on an ealier post, here is a list of things that will change in the rendering of CSS in IE7.
Just a little cross-pollination of projects.
Some interesting art applications...
There is also this list of lists of Web 2.0 apps.
Now you can listen to the entire Napster catalog (over 2 millions songs) for free (5 times each). You don't even need to download any software, just browse and listen at Napster.com
New service is aimed at taking on Google's online advertising dominance. Too bad it only works in IE!
EXTRA: Check out the Wall Street Journal site and try highlighting a word and right-clicking. Nice.
The only real flaw in this article is calling MySpace a Web 2.0 endeavor. MySpace is extremely popular but not really what web 2.0 is all about.
A neat little Picasa trick is to hold Ctrl + Alt when hovering over an image to get a full screen. Now if they would only add tagging to Picasa and a better way of uploading to Flickr (or whatever photo sharing service Google eventually builds/buys). I share some of the same sentiments as this guy.
Allow 10mb on your hard drive to be used and you get 1mb online for backup and accessible storage or pay more and don't share.
God, that is very bad and only gets worse the more you look at it. Did they even care about the user experience on this project? Google has been making some interesting (read: bad) decision as of late, I wonder if all that money is clouding thier judgement. More on Google strange decisions in an upcoming post.
Using Google searches such as, "Germans are known for *" and the like, this map was created to show the general impressions people have of various people around the world.
To continue the Google Maps mashup postings - this is a site that shows some promise.
This goes a little ways towards what I want in a mapping app, but not much further. It is going to be exciting to see the important incremental steps all these mashups and Google itself make in the coming year.
Use Google Maps to find places based on clues given.
It looks like the roofs of the Whitehouse and other capital buildings have been altered for display via Google Maps. I wonder if Google did this or, more likely the satellite imagery has been modified.
Not only does IGN review games but also gadgets, movies, music and more.
Not sure how legal this is but when used in conjunction with Rhapsody or Napster's monthly subscription service can net you a ton of music on the cheap.
Modify Firefox 1.5 to work with almost all old extensions.
Yet another reason to want a Mac. Bricksmith is a library of every LEGO piece and a program for building with them.
There are a few things it does better like the URL string in the address bar is a direct link to the map and zoom feature is nicer. But the best thing is the local data that is pulled in. It is far superior to the sparse data on restaurants and other local locations on Google. And the developers seem to have a sense of humor about their rivalry as well.
