<p><a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/earthhour/2009/" title="Google Earth Hour 2009"><img class="center" src="http://www.planetsean.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/voteearth.gif" alt="Google Earth Hour 2009" /></a></p>
<p>On this day, cities around the world, including Paris, Sydney, London, Cairo, New York, Los Angeles and Cape Town, will join together to demonstrate their commitment to energy conservation and sustainability. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how you can participate:</p>
<ul>
<li>All you have to do to Vote Earth is turn your lights out for one hour tonight, Saturday, March 28 from 8:30pm to 9:30pm local time, in your city. Your light switch is your vote!</li>
<li>Set your computer&#8217;s power management and save up to $60 on your electricity bill and nearly half a ton of C02 over the next twelve months. Climate Savers Computing Initiative provides instructions on how you can save electricity all year long through efficient computing.</li>
<li>Join Earth Connect and share your opinions about climate change through blogs, e-mails, and Twitter. The goal is to gather one billion words to present at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December.</li>
<li>If you are affiliated with a college, help your university reduce its environmental impact by adopting green computing practices. Pledge to Power Down for the Planet and create a video to teach others about the importance of energy efficient computing in the fight against climate change.</li>
</ul>
<p>Earth Hour is about more than dimming lights for sixty minutes; it’s about making a commitment to reduce energy consumption throughout the year. </p>
<p>As Google&#8217;s business grows, we want to make sure we minimize our impact on the Earth&#8217;s climate through responsible environmental practices every hour, every day.</p>

The new feature means you can do more on the iGoogle site without having multiple windows open.</p>
<p>I am fond of Gmail&#8217;s chat feature. I feed my <acronym title="AOL Instant Messenger">AIM</acronym> account through it, and can pretty much tackle all of my instant messaging needs from within Gmail itself rather than opening another application for chatting. I am not a regular user of iGoogle, but I can see the utility in its newest feature.</p>
<p>Chat can be added as another widget to the iGoogle home page via the settings menu. Google says that it works identically to the regular Gmail chat feature. All settings for Gmail chat will apply to the iGoogle version. </p>
<p>Google also says that Gmail users will be able to chat with anyone they wish &#8212; Gmail user or not &#8212; by inviting them to be a chat buddy. Once they accept, they&#8217;ll appear in the user&#8217;s buddy list. They will have to sign up for an iGoogle account, however. The chat feature also can be hidden from view if you&#8217;re the type who&#8217;s easily distracted, and users can sign out of chat without signing out of iGoogle if they prefer not to be bothered.</p>
<p>Apparently Google had been testing this feature out internally and with a small set of users. Today, chatting from within iGoogle is being offered to a much larger group of users.</p>
<p>Of course, it&#8217;s a trial version of the service. <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/chatting-away-on-igoogle.html" title="Chatting away on iGoogle">Google&#8217;s Rhett Robinson writes</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s worth noting that this feature may have some kinks, so we ask for your patience as we work through them. Here at Google, it&#8217;s common practice for us to involve our users as early possible so we can make sure we get it right. We&#8217;ll also be rolling this feature out slowly, so if you don&#8217;t see it on your iGoogle page and you simply can&#8217;t wait to check it out, feel free to opt in by going to <a href="www.google.com/ig/v2invite">www.google.com/ig/v2invite</a>.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Right now, iGoogle chat will only work in English for users in the United States, but Google says it will support other languages and countries in the near future.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PlanetSean/~4/udFMPCtvEP4" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded><description>Google&amp;#8217;s latest enhancement to its user-customizable iGoogle site is the ability to conduct Gmail chats from within iGoogle.

The <acronym title="Federal Communications Commission">FCC</acronym> has recently given the green light to a <acronym title="Code Division Multiple Access">CDMA</acronym> variant of the Pearl Flip.</p>
<p>The BlackBerry Pearl Flip has been available from T-Mobile for several months. <acronym title="Research In Motion">RIM</acronym> took the basic design of the original Pearl and turned it into a clamshell phone, which is a form factor that many Americans happen to like. For the last few months, if you&#8217;ve hankered for some hot Pearl Flip action, you&#8217;ve had to choose T-Mobile.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/02/26/blackberry-pearl-8230-flips-its-way-into-the-fccs-heart/" title="BlackBerry Pearl 8230 flips its way into the FCC's heart">Thanks to the <acronym title="Federal Communications Commission">FCC</acronym>, it looks like that is about to change</a>.</p>
<p>The government has approved a new version of the Flip for use in the U.S. This <acronym title="Code Division Multiple Access">CDMA</acronym> variant will work with Verizon Wireless&#8217; and Sprint&#8217;s networks, and adds EVDO <acronym title="3rd Generation">3G</acronym> to the mix, something the <acronym title="Global System for Mobile Communications">GSM</acronym> version of the Flip lacks.</p>
<p>The only other feature confirmed by the <acronym title="Federal Communications Commission">FCC</acronym> at this time is that the Pearl Flip will also have Bluetooth on board. We can probably expect most other features of the Pearl Flip to appear on the <acronym title="Code Division Multiple Access">CDMA</acronym> version. It has a 2 megapixel camera with video capture, microSD card slot and 3.5mm headset jack.</p>
<p><acronym title="Research In Motion">RIM</acronym> has not officially acknowledged this phone, nor has Sprint or Verizon.
