[...] Which is the best app for tracking a stolen laptop? | Effortless computing. Interesting summary of some of the features of each software.

Groove’s main advantage over Google Wave (and many other browser based collaborative services) is its security model. Yes it doesn’t have the fast stream of consciousness you find in Wave (fine for somethings, but perhaps a distraction for others who are working on multiple projects)and multiple simultaneous edits are cumbersome, but for structured secure projects, Groove 2007 (tbka SharePoint Workspace 2010) is pretty good (and here now). Watch the rest of the Google Wave launch video. Simultaneous language translation! There is much to praise here. To build discussions around these types of cloud services and applications, I recently created a LinkedIn group, Workspace http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1959769

Nice blog BTW:)

Comment on Wolfram Alpha ‘to launch on Monday’ – Telegraph by Evans

Let’s give Wolfram a chance to try and dethrone the big G, and not push it aside. But what I know is that many have tried but got now where.

Maybe this is an exception to the rest :)
