1. Google Mail - I like google mail because I can use it in the app "Mail" on Mac OS X without having to pay for it and the fact that you can star a email is a good feature when I'm out because I can just back to that starred email and read it. 2. Google Wave - I like google wave, Ever since I got an invite I have used it everyday and I use it to connect with my friends easily.
3. Google Docs - Great way to share files, I use it all the time. Its compatibility with iWork is great as well. Superb Idea!.
Hates
1. They Own All?!?! - Well they don't own everything but it certainly looks like they will be owning everything, Like what you said they own blogger and the sense of original developing is gone!. Its only time before they own everything.
2. They're Not Perfect - A lot of google things that have been produced are not really well useable, like there "Google Video" is a waste of time because they own You Tube, "Google Maps" waste of time because they have "Google Earth" which is exactly the same in every detail etc, etc, etc.....
3. "The" Best Search Engine? - I don't Think its the "best" search engine, simply because there are a lot of great search engines out there like "Viewzi", "dogpile", "Bing" etc..., There are a wide range of search engines out there that perfect certain things, like picture searching or just genral web searching or video searching, everything that google has to offer there are better alternatives.
So they are my best and worst about google, what are yours?
The past year of tech has been great, from the iPhone to the app store, there has been a lot of great tech that has come to us, and I can't wait till next year. So I have decided to let you guys vote on the best piece of technology tree has been this year, weather it be accessories, software, hardware and kind of tech.
Start voting, you can find me on twitter at twitter.com/rorymitchell or you can email me rorymitchelltech@googlemail.com
Sending large files through email is considered to be bad netiquette! But, of course, there are times when you may need to send things like a PowerPoint presentation or other large file via email. What do you use to make this easier?
Filemail allows you to send up to 2GB of files at a time through your email. All you have to do is upload your files directly to Filemail. They are stored on servers located in either San Diego, or Norway. An email is sent to your recipient(s), telling them they have files ready to download. There is a clickable link within the email. Once they click the link, they are taken directly to the download page that was created when you uploaded the files. After a certain number of days, the files are deleted off of the Filemail servers.
You don’t even have to register, or pay anything! If you have to send a file over about 5MB, then you need to use this service. They even have a corporate level, for large companies who need to send large files. If you sign up for a corporate account, you will have a dedicated corporate upload box.
Don’t send any more large files!, Here are links that my help you through this post:
Well its "That" time of year again where you put up your christmas decorations and watch christmas TV and films, and do all other things christmas. As I love this time of year, and I would love to have everyone else's input on what they want for christmas or what they are doing for christmas!. Gosh its almost 2010 as well, a decade has gone by already, You may be wondering "well its just ten years", well not just ten years, its been a eventful ten years I'd say, what with all the tech that has come out to change our lives, I can only assume that in another ten years time we will have personal robots that can do things by command, like run to the coffee shop, like the ones in the film "iRobot", they are the real glimpse of the future, not like in ten years time but sometime.
I'd like to hears your input not only about christmas, but also about the past tech that we have had and also the tech that has changed our lives. "@" me your responses on twitter (I'm @rorymitchell) or email me rorymitchelltech@googlemail.com your responses to this post and I will paste them into this post. Think Hard, you know what it is!!.

I Have to confess, That I have a Xbox 360, and its amazing!!. Not only does it have twitter on it it also has facebook, last.fm and netflix, its such a wide ranged console compared to the PS3, granted the PS3 is getting netflix, but I'd say that the Xbox has more online features than the PS3. Now this does not mean the end for my PS3, its still gonna be used, because there are some exclusive games for it (e.g Drakes Uncharted, AGENT, Gran Turismo), i'd also like to point out the experience, granted I think the Xbox 360 experience is just a bit better than the PS3, but in terms of games experience they are really the same.
In my view the best thing to do is to buy the games console YOU want not what I want. But if your still wondering what kind of console you'd like visit these links:
As you all know we have a chat room that is on our homepage, and its run by the Wyldryde services what exho have been recently accompanied by BestTechie Holdings, Inc. They have been great sponsors throughout the time I have been with them, There were some things that transpired at WyldRyde today that I knew would prevent that positive experience, changes which could potentially place much pressure and stress on my staff, my users and even myself. So I have decided to switch to Geekshed as our chat server, These people are really good at what there providing you with, and I have a lot of faith in them to keep our chat as stable as possible.

Are you riding the Google "Wave" yet?, well Neither am I, but I am still awiting my invite (that's if google are still friends!), Well if you have got a Google Wave account then your one of the "lucky ones", there are lot of people saying that its not a bad web app. its supposed to be replacing Google Mail but i think that was just a rumour, either way its not going to defeat it, but Google Talk it might well do.
As Google have really expanded on this "Wave" idea, they really have shown a lot o… Continue
Well iPhone 3.0 has certainly rocked iPhone users these past couple of days, and well I don't blame them, its a super, super, super,cool OS since its predecessors. I am loving the ability to MMS (even thought AT&T have not enabled it yet) and Internet Tethering (That Too!!) to be finally in this killer if not cool phone. So if your thinking of getting a Samsung Blackjack this summer you might want to set your eyes on the new iPhone 3G S because it will have all the features I am about to lis… Continue
Well EA games certainly out done themselves on this one, "The Sims 3" has been a really big seller since the day it has came out, hell people went out and got it just because they seen a celebrity buy a copy, at least I heard that ;). People who are Sims fanatics auto get this new and better Sims because it is better than its predecessors by a mile, I mean, I'm a not so much huge fan of the series but I like the series and its probably one of the most thought out games on the market in my view,… Continue
Now I am not really the one to ask for gaming advice like which is better? PS3 or Xbox 360, Because Really I don't see the difference to either of them. So anyway here is a top 5 on "Why You Should Get a PS3":
1) Upgradable HDD
A lot says that the 60GB version of The Playstation 3 is the masterpiece of all the versions. Mainly because the complete features (memory slot, reasonably big storage, backward compatibility with PS2 games) But yeah, all good things comes to an end. It's hard to get yo… Continue
