This must be a first. Swiss web-agencies Liip and frühjahr have created a secret santa “game” for Twitter. Yes, this Christmas you can do a secret santa on Twitter. And it is pretty simple. You just register with your Twitter account and the OAuth protocol and from December 1st until Christmas Eve you can give gifts to other twitterers. But instead of books, chocolate or handwritten poems you can give links, photos or other web-ish online stuff.
The German version of the game can be found on twichteln.ch. “Wichteln” is the German word for “secret santa” and English speaking people can participate on tweecretsanta.co.uk.
So go ahead and register. And have fun receiving your virtual gifts this Christmas season.
You can also download the press release with more details.
The official hashtags are #twichteln for the German members and #tweecret for English people.

Isn’t this something? I know very few people outside of Switzerland named “Corsin” and none in other parts of Europe or the World. But somehow the name made its way to the Star Wars universe.
According to my research, “Corsin” is/was a planet in the Ploo Sector. A Corsin-year is approximately 0.93 earth years. The population is very low with under 41,000 people. But they all are very proud of themselves and of their beautiful planet.

So I managed to get Chromium OS on a virtual machine running. Now I am playing around a little bit. I will document my progress here.
First thing, you need to get the virtual console. Do this by clicking CTRL + ALT + T. More commands are on this shortcut list.
Now you have a functional terminal/console.

According to a comment by Ian Fettec, Product Manager for Google Chrome, they are not planing to release Google Gears for Apple’s Snow Leopard/Safari. The reason for this is the fact, that developers should make use of HTML 5’s new features, that prior where only available in Gears.
To bad because many sites are already using Gears (Google Docs, Gmail, RememberTheMilk, Zoho and more).
We are not supporting gears on Snow Leopard and later versions of Mac OS X.
Relying on HTML5 database and appcache going forward is a good approach as a
replacement for Gears on these platforms.
