OK so the don’t actually disappear but something odd does happen than can get you worried if you’re not expecting it.
If you have more than one page of applications applying the update will cause a small glitch. The addition of the Voice Memo app will cause the application in the bottom right of your first page to move, it puts in on a new second page without any other applications.
Panic not all your other applications are not gone but on pages 3+ and moving the single application from page two will fix the issue and remove the unwanted page.
For those that are not aware, Guiness Surger is the ultimate Guiness gadget. It allows you to get an almost perfect pint of Guiness in the comfort of you own home. When it was originally released the Surger cans were distributed soley through Tesco’s Extra stores, now it would appear that they no longer do them.
Am I just unlucky or has Surger finally died a death?
For those that haven’t seen it in action here’s a video I posted to YouTube a while ago.
When Google Checkout was launched in 2006 it’s unique pricing model brought online payment processing to a point where it was cost effective for small and large businesses alike. It had a low transaction processing cost of 1.5% + £0.15 per transaction and rewarded AdWords customers by waiving the transaction charges on up to a total of 10 times their monthly ad spend. For small businesses this meant that there was a cost effective method that allowed them to add card payments to their available payment methods.
On March 11th Google issued an email informing Checkout customers that the pricing structure would be changing effective 5th May. Free transaction processing from AdWords has been removed and the simple transaction processing change has been replaced with a tiered model not too dissimilar to other providers ranging from 1.4% to 3.4%+£0.20.
These changes mean that transaction processing changes will increase for all customers who process less that £55,000 per month, in the case of those processing less than £6,000 the charges will double. And that is before you take into account the removal of the free processing. Google stated reasons for the pricing increases as this:
Google is committed to the continued growth and development of Checkout. These pricing changes are necessary in order for us to continue to enhance user features and functionality going forward.
I have always supported Google, their innovation has helped drive our industry forward and this has rarely been at the expense of their customers. I understand that Google must set their prices in a way that allows their business to grow and move forwards, however, I find it disappointing that in the current economic climate that Google have chosen to implement pricing changes that put further financial pressure on many small organisations who are already finding times hard.
Full information about the Google Checkout pricing model can be found on Google’s Checkout Fees page.
I logged in on Tuesday night with the sole intention of doing the Cooking and Jewelcrafting dailies to find queries in guild chat for anyone interesting in joining a Naxx raid. As I hadn’t planned to stay on long I decided to give it a miss but after several nudges via /w I thought “What the hell, let’s do this”, so I joined. Continue reading »
I’m definitely not the first to blog this and certainly won’t be that last, last week saw freelance web develop Jason Roe get into a row with staff from Ryanair when he blogged about a bug in their web site.
jason!
you?re an idiot and a liar!! fact is!
you?ve opened one session then another and requested a page meant for a different session, you are so stupid you dont even know how you did it! you dont get a free flight, there is no dynamic data to render which is prob why you got 0.00. what self respecting developer uses a crappy CMS such as word press anyway AND puts they?re mobile ph number online, i suppose even a prank call is better than nothing on a lonely sat evening!!
All I could hear in my head we the voice of Roy from The IT Crowd ranting away.
Anyway it’s a great article that really brightened up my day yesterday, thanks to @veloce for the article RT.
Well today was meant to be a day of cellebrations with Jo starting her new job and it being our 18th wedding aniversary, it’s amazing how the careless actions of others can change things… Continue reading »
I’ve gotta say this one made me smile, I’ve even created a new tag for it “only in America”…
A legal claim by a Pitsburg couple, The Borings, that a picture of their house on Google Street View caused them “mental suffering” blah, blah, blah!
I for one am happy to see this case thrown out of court. The whole “sue you” culture that has evolved in the US and is now spreading into UK culture is wrong, in my opinion it lessens us as a people and trivialises true suffering .
It would have been so easy for Google to pay the $25,000 to make this go away, they could have paid the money and essentially press the same button the Boring’s didn’t even bother to. But to have done so would have lent credence to this idiotic claim, so Google stuck to their guns and won.
Got any other stories of ludicrous “sue you” cases being thrown out? Leave a comment.
NOT! Well not yet anyway, however I have this week been introduced to a web site that allows you to assess you IMBAness and recommends which pieces of gear, including enchants and gems, you need to look at upgrading. Continue reading »
Yesterday Google released Google Mobile App for the iPhone an application that provides a central point to launch all your Google applications from, it also features a search facility that is location aware and boasts voice recognition.
Well it’s now just under a week since the Blizzard’s second expansion to World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King was released. In that time I’ve managed to level Spangles to the dizzy heights of level 72 and thought I’d post some of my thoughts and experiences. Continue reading »
