OnLive Now Charging Only for Gameplay (No Monthly Fees) [Onlive]

The streaming game service is no longer charging $15 in monthly fees, so if you've been put off by yet another monthly direct debit, now's the time to sign up for a free trial. Jason loved it when he tried it out at home, but was put off by the various fees associated with it—though they were touting a promotion for a while, where they waived the monthly fee for the first year of usage.

Google Docs now features a color-coded revision history and better time stamps

Filed under: ,

New documents created with Google Docs will now make use of a much-improved revision history.

This new tool replaces one of the worst and most-clunky features of Google Docs -- and it's about time. By default, the interface clumps revisions together, so that large documents aren't completely unreadable (but you can click 'Show more detailed revisions' to see every revision). Timestamping of revisions is now much clearer, and enabled even for very old document changes.

The blog post says there's more to come, too. It's just a shame that it doesn't work with existing documents!

As MeeGo VP Quits, Nokia CEO Taking Calls From Eric Schmidt

News broke this morning that Nokia's executive in charge of MeeGo devices, Ari Jaaksi, resigned last week. This continues a string of high-profile people leaving the world's largest mobile phone company as it attempts to establish an�identity�in the quickly-evolving mobile space. The internal turmoil and the recent hiring of former Microsoft executive Stephen Elop to be Nokia's new CEO has led to quite a bit of speculation that Nokia may turn away from its own operating systems and go with the new Windows Phone OS -- or at least fork its products to have this OS as an�option on top of the upcoming MeeGo. But don't rule out Google's Android OS just yet either. We've heard from a good source that Google CEO Eric Schmidt has called Elop to discuss the possibility of Android running on Nokia phones. We actually heard this information about a week ago, but today's news makes it potentially more interesting. Around the time Jaaksi was resigning, Elop and Schmidt were talking.

Never Compromise On Fart Jokes

The 1975 movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail has an honored place on my dusty DVD shelf, along with every other Monty Python Movie, Caddyshack, Fletch and a variety of other movies that shaped my childhood and helped me get through many evenings in high school and college. The best line? "I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries." If you haven't seen it, shame on you. It turns out the fart in your general direction line made British censors squeamish, as well as overuse of "shit," "Jesus Christ," and at least one reference to oral sex. Thankfully, the good guys won. Via Cyan, Letters of Note and LaughingSquid.
