Hasta La Gadget!

Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, has never been one to mince words. Today’s no different as demonstrated in an interview with the Dutch-language De Telegraaf newspaper in The Netherlands. The first revelation is an admission that Apple had collaborated with a well-known Japanese consumer electronics company in 2004 to develop a phone that was ahead of its time. Woz is quoted as saying that while Apple was content with the quality, it “wanted something that could amaze the world.” Obviously, the phone was shelved followed by Apple’s announcement of the iPhone in January 2007.

Woz then moved on to the topic of Android saying that Android smartphones, not the iPhone, would become dominant, noting that the Google OS is likely to win the race similarly to the way that Windows ultimately dominated the PC world. Woz stressed that the iPhone, “Has very few weak points. There aren’t any real complaints and problems. In terms of quality, the iPhone is leading.” However, he then conceded that, “Android phones have more features,” and offer more choice for more people. Eventually, he thinks that Android quality, consistency, and user satisfaction will match iOS.

Steve closed the interview with a jab at Nokia calling it, “the brand from a previous generation” suggesting that the boys from Finland should introduce a new brand for a young consumer. Hmm, so we guess he’ll be in line for the launch of the MeeGo-based N9 then?

Update: We’ve contacted Steve (an Engadget commenter) for clarification. He says he was misquoted by De Telegraaf.

There may be times when you’re trying to find a page on a specific website but can’t find it for one reason or another. Thankfully there’s Google to help you search within a website so that you can easily find the page you’re looking for. Google has three different options available and each one is very simple to use but will help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

1. Look for the Search Box
   This is the newest method available when you perform a search at Google.com.  Google found that for certain websites, there are many visitors who usually end up wanting a refined search.  One example is Microsoft. People may search Google for Microsoft and then once they click through to Microsoft’s site, they perform another search for what they’re looking for within the site. Now when you do a search for Microsoft at Google, you’ll see a search box right after the result where you can enter a term and search within Microsoft.com. A screenshot of this can be seen below:
    
   When the result appears with a search box (remember, not all results will show the search box), you can enter in another search term (like Windows Vista) and Google will search only Microsoft for Windows Vista related pages.

2. site:example.com
   Another simple way to search within a specific site is done right in the Google search box.  If there’s a specific page you’re looking for on a site, all you have to do is go to www.google.com and in the search bar enter the topic you’re looking for followed by “site:” and then the site you’re wanting to search. If you were looking for an iPhone related article at CyberNet, it would look like this:
   iPhone site:cybernetnews.com

   All of the results will then be related iPhone articles from CyberNet. Be sure that you do not put a space after the colon, otherwise it will not work.
   

3. Advanced Search
   Any time you go to Google.com, you’ll see an “advanced search” link next to the search box. By clicking the link, you’ll be given a variety of more advanced search options. One of them includes to search within a specific site or domain.

Sony was the first to shove a Google TV all up in a display with its Internet TV, and now indications are that Samsung will be the second. According to Bloomberg, Sammy is set to announce a new line of HDTVs that will offer integrated Google TV functionality, as was earlier rumored, and while we don’t have any more details than that, the use of Intel (presumably Atom) processors is noted — though that’s hardly a shocker. The report indicates that the announcement will be made in January, which just so happens to be when a little electronics show will be taking place in Las Vegas. Coincidence? You make the call.
