Ever been on the road and needed a phone number, but didn’t want to pay the high cost of calling 411? Well your wish has been answered. Here is a cool little gizmo that I just found. GOOG411. Now you can call 1.800.GOOG411 and get a free directory service. Just another reason why Google is going to take over the world.

Storage solution for NewSpring’s creative people.
The Problem:
Our video/visual editors have this sweet 7 TB RAID array that Pink Lloyd made. The only downside is that it has to be connected directly to a machine (similar to a huge external hard drive). Right now it is connected to David Jolley’s (our video director) editing machine. The problem is that when Will or Ken needs to access something from the array, they have to go through David’s machine which in turn slows to a crawl.
The Solution:
Attach the RAID array to it’s own beast of a server so it can handle the file transfers and only the file transfers. My plan is to get an xServe to handle the data process.
Thoughts?
