Latex is become one of my first choice since I move to Ubuntu Linux.

Latex? Yes… latex. Latex is not only useful for creating document. Its architecture provides possibility for users to extends its functionality. One of them is to create presentation.

Google launched two old services into one new service. This service called as Google Docs & Spreadsheet, that is reincarnation of Writely and Google Spreadsheet.

Interestingly, it mention clearly that both companies will run independently. I’m just a little curious, whether they will combine Google Video with YouTube later in the future or not. What do you think?

This acquisition means that Google doesn’t have real competitor in video business, and I don’t think it is good. Both Google Video and YouTube still have a lot of space to be filled.
