+Just about everyone believes their internet connection is too slow, but now, if you live in the United States, you can prove it. A communications workers union has [released a study][1] showing that the median U.S. download speed is a mere 1.97 megabits per second. That number comes into perspective when you consider Japanese users enjoy a whopping 61 mbps for the same price.
+
+If the numbers mean nothing to you, consider this from the opening paragraph of the report: "People in Japan can download an entire movie in just two minutes, but it can take two hours or more in the United States. Yet, people in Japan pay the same as we do in the U.S. for their Internet connection."
+
+But this is more than just a first of its kind look at how your broadband provider is screwing you, it also has some nasty implications for U.S. productivity.
+
+It could be argued that the survey does not encompass business and enterprise internet connections which are often much faster, but with more and more U.S. tech workers working from home, the study seems even more telling.
+
+For those curious about the numbers, have a look at the [actual PDF file with all the details][2]. The high level summary is that the survey looked at 80,000 internet users in all 50 states and less than 5 percent of them were on dial-up connections. The dial-up numbers undoubtedly dragged things down, but only highlight the fact that in some areas that's all that's available.
+
+The authors of the study call for five key principles they feel must be embraced in order to change the dismay speeds of U.S. internet users:
+
+>* Speed and Universality Matter for Internet Access
+* The U.S. "High Speed" Definition is Too Slow
+* A National High Speed Internet for All Policy is Critical
+* The U.S. Must Preserve an Open Internet
+* Consumer and Worker Protections Must Be Safeguarded
+
+For the record, using the test service on the [SpeedMatters site][3] my own connection measured at 2.9 kbps, just over the median for my state.

+Google has given Docs and Spreadsheets a [makeover and added some new features][1], including support for folders and live search, but while the new interface is looks different, in some ways the new "features" are a step backwards.
+
+Folders were undoubtedly one of the most requested features for [Google Docs][2] and they have indeed arrived, however folder support comes at the expense of labels. Label (or tag if you prefer) support has been dropped in the new Google Docs.
+
+Existing users will note that all their tags have been converted to folders which work more or less like labels, but include drag-and-drop support. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to re-order the folder list hierarchy other than with creative naming conventions.
+
+But the real problem with the new folders is their inconsistent behavior. Files can be be placed in multiple folders, but rather confusingly this only works from the main list.
+
+If you drag a document from the main list to a any number of folders it will be added to those folders.
+
+However, if you are inside a folder and drag a document to a different folder it will be removed from the first folder, which makes for a rather confusing user experience.
+
+People have been clamoring for folders in various Google Apps for some time, however, this implementation may leave many questioning their wishes.
+
+Given that Google is aiming Docs and Spreadsheets at the business crowd, the move to folders makes sense, folders are a much more familiar organizational metaphor and have a somewhat more "professional" feel about them, but in terms of functionality the new folders differ from labels largely in semantics.
+
+I always thought of folders and labels as complimentary, so ditching labels in favor of folders seems, well, kind of pointless. Now everyone is going to clamor for the old labels -- why not support both?
+
+And the labels to folders move isn't the only letdown in the redesign. Those using the collaborative features will likely miss the "last edited by" function, which appears to have gone the way of the Dodo (if you know where it went, let me know).
+
+Also, while it's a minor point, I can't help thinking that interface has a very un-Google feel to it, I don't mind the re-design, but it looks more like something Yahoo or AOL would come up with.
+
+But the redesign isn't a total letdown. There are a couple of truly useful features in the new Docs and Spreadsheets. The live search suggestions tool with dynamic results pulled from your document list as you type (think Google Suggest or Apple Spotlight) is a great time saver and the ability to sort documents by collaborator is also quite handy.
+
+Since there doesn't appear to be a way to revert to the old version, the Google Docs redesign, for better or worse appears to be here to stay.

+The initial real world reviews of iPhones are starting to trickle in and for the most part it would seem that Apple has a winner on its hands. Sure there's some things that could be improved, but by and large the reviews are positive.
+
+Here's a roundup:
+
+<p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118289311361649057.html">The iPhone is Breakthrough Handheld Computer</a> (Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal)</p>
+<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/27/technology/circuits/27pogue.html?_r=1&amp;hp&amp;oref=slogin">The iPhone Matches Most of its Hype</a> (David Pogue, NY Times)</p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19444948/site/newsweek/page/0/">At Last, the iPhone</a> (Steven Levy, Newsweek)</p>
+<p><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/edwardbaig/2007-06-26-iphone-review_N.htm">Apple&#8217;s iPhone isn&#8217;t perfect, but it&#8217;s worthy of the hype</a> (Ed Baig, USA Today)</p>
+
+Perhaps the most interesting thing all these reviews mention is the lack of scratches on the screen -- even when the iPhone is tossed in a pocket with keys, loose change and whatnot.
+
+But of course these mainstream journalists have overlooked the obvious satanic witchcraft overtones of the iPhone which Wired's Lore Sjöberg, master of the dark arts, details in his latest column: [Beware the Magical IPhone][2].
+
+And just because it's the first and only time this will happen, I'd like to say that I actually agree with John Dvorak, who recently wrote an article entitled: [Shut Up About the iPhone, Already!][1].
+
+Still, despite the fact that I'm thoroughly sick of hearing about the thing (David Pogue claims the "iPhone has been the subject of 11,000 print articles, and it turns up about 69 million hits on Google"), I do plan to purchase one, and probably on Friday, but only out of a sense of obligation to you my dear readers, definitely not because I actually want it.

+Adobe has released an upgrade for its Photoshop Lightroom RAW image editing tool. [Lightroom version 1.1][2] packs an impressive amount of new features for an incremental upgrade and it's free for all Lightroom users.
+
+You probably won't notice any great changes in the interface when you install the update, but that doesn't mean there aren't significant improvements. Most of the changes are on the fine grained controls and image editing options.
+
+An extensive [list of changes][3] (PDF) can be found on the Adobe site and there really is far more than I can cover in a single post, but here's some of the highlights I've noticed in the last hour or so of testing:
+
+>* The application feels faster, switching between modules is quicker and when scrolling through the library thumbnails snap into focus much quicker (note I'm using a Macbook with one gig of RAM, YMMV).
+* Vastly improved sharpening tools. In the Develop module the sharpening slider has been replaced with four individual controls (Amount, Radius, Detail, and Masking). This could be a mixed bag, on one hand you have more fine-grained control on the other hand it takes longer -- it would nice if this were a "advanced" option.
+* "Clarity" controls. A new Develop module feature which Adobe says "adds depth to an image by increasing local contrast." I haven't had time to really get the hang of it, but in certain situations it can give images that extra "pop" that editors are always asking for.
+* The cataloging system has been revamped and you can now import images from one catalog for use in another (see the new menu item File >> Import For Catalog)
+* New metadata browsing option. Images can be sorted by things like camera, lens, aperture, ISO etc.
+
+Version 1.1 also incorporates all the improvements of Adobe Camera Raw 4.1, which we [wrote about previously][1] as well as some other interface improvements and under-the-hood performance boosters.
+
+Since the upgrade is free and the new features impressive, I'd definitely recommend Lightroom 1.1 for existing users. For those unfamiliar with the program, have a look at our [earlier review][4].

+Just in case you weren't sure of the whole web 2.0 thing had jumped the shark or not, there's now a web service for finding the nearest restroom on your mobile device. Yes, you read that right.
+
+[MizPee][2] is a new web service that aims to deliver information regarding the location of nearby restrooms.
+
+And it gets better, once you enter your location MizPee will send back not only a list of nearby toilets but also provide ratings (ranging from 1-5 rolls) and even user comments. Also included are details like whether or not a payment is required, if the restroom has disabled access or diaper changing facilities.
+
+The site can be accessed via your mobile device at mizpee.com or you can send an SMS message from your phone.
+
+One on hand this could be genuinely useful in some cases (the upper west side in the New York has always been a touch place to find a restroom), but at the same time it seems a bit ridiculous as well, is it so hard to stop someone on the street and ask them if they know of a restroom in the area?
+
+However I should note that while I find the whole thing funny, my girlfriend assures me that there is market for exactly this sort of information.
+
+And at least now you can rest easy knowing you'll have no trouble finding a restroom after waiting in line for your new iPhone.

+Microsoft has slowly been releasing pieces of its Windows Live Services over the last year and today sees a couple more betas hatching onto the web. [Windows Live Photo Gallery][1] is intended as free upgrade to Vista's Photo Gallery (it also works on XP) and [Windows Live Folders][2] is the long awaited "Live Drive" backup storage solution.
+
+For now both services are in limited beta test phases. Windows Live Folders is currently a managed beta and accounts are limited to 500 MB of storage, but that restriction will be lifted as the product moves out of beta.
+
+To use the new beta you'll need a Windows Live ID, but otherwise the service works quite well. There are a number of options for sharing files, including options to allow access to the whole web, selected users or keep them totally private.
+
+In order to access files in a shared folder other users will need at the bare minimum a Windows Live ID for authentication. Beyond that you can control whether or not specific people can gain access.
+
+While Windows Live Folders is easy to use and I had no problems in my testing, it isn't exactly groundbreaking. For instance, I wouldn't want to try and back up a large amount of files through the web interface since you'd be limited to uploading five files at a time.
+
+Windows Live Photo Gallery is an update/replacement for the Photo Gallery that ships with Vista, though the new version works with XP as well, which should be welcome news for those who haven't upgraded yet. Microsoft claims Windows Live Photo Gallery will have a number of enhancements, including a new "stitching" tool and built in tools for posting photos to Live Spaces, or, in the case of videos, Soapbox.
+
+While there is actually a live page for the Photo Gallery beta, the link currently leads to a dead page, but hopefully the download will be active soon.
+
+As part of the announcement Microsoft has [posted an interview][3] with Chris Jones, corporate vice president, Windows Live Experience Program Management. Jones outlines some of Microsoft's strategies for the future of on/offline application, which Jones refers to as "software plus services."
+
+Unlike Yahoo and Google who tend toward browser-based applications, Microsoft plans to use desktop clients for many of its integrated services.
+
+For example Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Mail and the new Windows Live Photo Gallery are all essentially desktop software packages that also feature an online component.
+
+Some might argue that the future of the desktop is the browser, but Microsoft doesn't seem to think so, of course they are a desktop software vendor so they have a vested interest in making sure the browser doesn't replace the desktop.
+
+At the moment Microsoft's Windows Live strategy appears a bit fragmented and with the company cranking out so many new betas at such an impressive pace, many users may not even be aware of what's currently available.
+
+Jones acknowledges that issue and says that an all-in-one download of the whole integrated Live Suite is in the works.
+
+With Google and Yahoo focused on the browser and Microsoft taking a more hybrid direction it will be interesting to see which aproach customers prefer. For my money, I'll stick with the browser, but let us know what you think in the comments below.

+MySpace plans to launch an overhaul to its MySpace Video service tomorrow, complete with a new name, MySpace TV and separate URL. MySpace is currently the number two video host in the U.S, trailing YouTube by about 8 million viewers a month.
+
+According to the [New York Times][2], the new MySpace TV will be [available at a separate domain][3] so that those without a MySpace account can still access video from the site's users.
+
+However MySpace TV is also said to be moving away from user generated content to focus more on professionally created content. For all the hype surrounding user-generated content, it's still the professional clips that bring in the advertising dollars.
+
+MySpace TV is not just a name though, the Times says that each MySpace member page will "link to a separate MySpace TV channel, which will display the videos the user has uploaded."
+
+As with the rest of MySpace users will be able to unleash their hideous design choices on the web at large -- customizing the page as it's known in the trade.
+
+MySpace also plans to launch an online video editing service later this year to compete with [YouTube's Remixer offering][1].

+Google's [Picasa photo sharing site][2] has finally added mapping support. The new features allow users to see a small map in the sidebar for each photo that has latitude and longitude data associated with it.
+
+Adding your geodata is a drag and drop process and in a nice touch entire albums can be dropped on a location rather than having to set each photo individually. The Picasa desktop client also supports image geodata via Google Earth.
+
+Most other photo hosting services (Flickr comes to mind) have offered similar support for ages, but now Picasa users don't have to feel left out. Plus Picasa boasts a couple of new features that Flickr lacks.
+
+First there's a integration with Google Earth which can turn Google Earth into a photo browser. Another nice touch is that in the main Picasa maps view, rather than simple pins to mark each photo, Picasa displays a small thumbnail of the image.
+
+But the highlight of the new mapping features is the combination of maps and slideshows. If you select a photo in the map and click on "play", the slideshow will move around the map according to the photos locations.
+
+If you'd like to see the slideshow in action, the Picasa team has [posted a test gallery][1].
+
+Picasa has also announced a new [mobile version of the site][4].
+
+[via the [Google Blog][3]]
