Dear Google Apps admin,​

In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology.  This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5.  As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 ​as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.

We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010.  After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.

Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above.

Starting next week, users on these older browsers will see a message in Google Docs and the Google Sites editor explaining this change and asking them to upgrade their browser.  We will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change.

In 2009, the Google Apps team delivered more than 100 improvements to enhance your product experience.  We are aiming to beat that in 2010 and continue to deliver the best and most innovative collaboration products for businesses.

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

The Google Apps team

Hype Machine now works with SoundCloud

Hi Robin,

we're sending you a quick email because you've indicated in your SoundCloud settings 
that you're in the category of Press/Blogger/Podcaster/Media and we have some important 
news that we think will be of particular interest. Today we're announcing an integration 
between ourselves and The Hype Machine. We're huge fans of The Hype Machine and have a sneaky suspicion that you might be too. 
But what does this integration mean? 

The Hype Machine now detects SoundCloud players

As you probably know, The Hype Machine aggregates a number of blogs and pulls in the 
posts and tracks that it finds. They now detect embedded SoundCloud players. So, if you are a 
blogger this means that you can now use our players and know that your post will show up on 
the Hype Machine. The Hype Machine won't currently detect a SoundCloud plain-text download 
link but we have some really nice new players for premium users including customisable 
artwork- and mini-players. You only need a Lite account which is just €21 if you use this 
special 25%-off discount code we've created for you:

The Hype Machine plays back the original track that is hosted on SoundCloud

What's nice is that once The Hype Machine has detected that the audio comes from a 
SoundCloud player it can then simply stream the music directly from the SoundCloud servers. 
This means that if a label or artist has uploaded that music then they get lots of useful information 
on how much hype their track is getting. And we're doing all the hard work in terms of streaming the music. That's what we do best!

It's super easy to post more music from more original sources

Hopefully this all means that bloggers can be posting more interesting music from more original 
sources. Most of the public tracks on SoundCloud have a handy little share button so you can grab 
the embed code. What's more, we allow you to customize the player or even post directly to Wordpress 
and Blogger. If a label or artist is sending you tracks to put up on your blog then consider asking 
them to send you the SoundCloud link as well so that you can embed the player. We should stress that we'd encourage you to use tracks that have been already uploaded by the artists or labels of course. 

Here's a few examples, try the share button out for yourself.

Massive Attack:  Massive Attack - Girl I Love You (She is Danger Remix)  by  lucidonline
Owen Pallett:  Owen Pallett - Heartland  by  DominoRecordCo
Lightspeed Champion:  Lightspeed Champion - Life Is Sweet Sessions (5 Live At Avatar, NYC)  by  DominoRecordCo
Mvsevm:  MVSEVM - French Jeans (first look)  by  discobelle

We'd love to get your feedback

We think this is exciting news. Hype Machine and the music blogs serve a massively important 
role in fans discovering new and interesting music. It's often the blogosphere that helps new 
acts break to a wider audience. We're thrilled to be part of that ecosystem by allowing artists 
and labels to serve tracks directly to music bloggers via SoundCloud. At the same time we hopefully eliminate a lot of the hustle for bloggers themselves having to re-upload tracks to their own servers or use generic file sharing services like supermegasendfile.com. 

But what do you think? If you've got any thoughts or feedback then please get in touch with us on bloggers@soundcloud.com

Groove Armada
Shameless (feat. Bryan Ferry)

Bryan Ferry 

keeps his legendary Roxy Music roots front and center on this exclusive Groove Armada tune—replete with a downtempo melody, piano keys and a plaintive beat that turns tempestuous. It’s Groove Armada—sexy’s a given!

Groove Armada - Shameless (feat. Bryan Ferry)

Mika
Blame It On The Girls (Not on the Starsmith Remix)

This Starsmith remix makes Mika sound bemused and surrounded by, well, “Girls, girls / girls, girls / girls, girls, girls, girls”. Yep—that’s the chorus, and the lack of anything other than a rich appreciation of the simple things extends to the music, which is all arms-in-the-air, sweaty-Balearic-isle-at-1am glee and lust.

@joniberjalan re: paket telkomsel

Bentar2. lo mo beli iPhone yg bundle telkomsel atau FU bro? Kalo paket ya tinggal pilih aja paket yg mana, kalo FU baru bisa milih.
Jadi, telkomsel flash itu layanan internet 3G dari telkomsel, kalo layanan voice, sms, mms dsb itu beda lagi. lo butuh dua2nya. jadi harus apply kartu halo (paska bayar) dari telkomsel terus aktifasi flash nya. paket flash macem2, yg unlimited juga ada bbrp.
IMO, mending lo nyempetin mampir ke grapari dulu untuk tanya2 mana yg pas buat lo man.

:D

[Authority Blogger] The Ugly Truth About Product Launches

From: "Chris Garrett"

Subject: [Authority Blogger] The Ugly Truth About Product Launches

I'm glad my article from over the weekend resonated with people. If you haven't seen it, check it out:
The Ugly Truth About Product Launches
I was a little worried with all the hubub over the huge launch of Product Launch Formula with all the affiliate commissions and promotions that people would get the wrong idea.
Don't get me wrong, PLF and Jeff Walker are both well worth checking out, and lots of people swear by them.
My issue is not with the products or with Jeff, but with the people who say "Build it and they will promote".Creating a product as a complete unknown and getting affiliates to promote is the exception rather than the rule. For each rare person who has been able to convince a stranger to promote there are thousands who end up in trash and spam folders.
Ask anyone with a decent sized audience and they will tell you they ignore, delete or mark as spam waaay more affiliate requests and JV invites than they even open, let alone take up. There are just too many to take notice of them all, and too much risk.
We like to deal with people we know and like. You know this to be true, why should the people you want to promote for you be any different? :)This is why you need to take some steps first.
Establish your own audience, get known, do some networking and create connections. It's not difficult or hard, but takes some care and the correct approach. Most people are not willing and try to find short cuts, which are both ineffective and often expensive!
You might want to check out these other posts from last week:
Have you implemented the ARC System in your online activities?
What is your website's clear purpose?I also posted today "Why you owe it to the world to be your true awesome self", which is a jokey title intended to answer the people who tell me "I would love to be an authority, I would love to offer products, I just daren't!" and show that it is OK to put yourself out there :)
Bottom line is by helping other people you are doing a good thing, so don't hide what you have to offer from the world! :)
Cheers

Shipping Date of Your Smashing Book

Reply-To: "Smashing Magazine" <...@smashingmagazine.com>

Hello Robin Malau, Life doesn’t always play out as we’d like. As we mentioned in our last newsletter, the Smashing Book has already been printed, packaged and addressed, and only needs to reach our warehouse so that we can send it out immediately. Unfortunately, we have to rely on third parties to get it here (because we don’t happen to own our very own container ship). In this case, we have been let down. Much to our dismay and without prior warning, our shipping company decided to temporarily shut down its cargo ship midway, because it thought it was underemployed (perhaps the ship joined the "ghost fleet" near Singapore). The additional delay was caused by having to transfer the books to another ship to continue delivery. Despite our best intentions, some deadlines cannot be met. The books will not be shipped as announced on November 23rd, but on December 5th. Thanks again for your patience, trust and support. We'll do our best to make it up to you, folks. With greetings from Germany, Vitaly Friedman Sven Lennartz You are receiving this email because you have pre-ordered the Smashing Book. If you don't want to receive any more updates until your book has shipped, you can unsubscribe from these updates.
