The Rewinder, this week on Compiler:
* We [mourned the death of Telnet][5]. Windows Vista is the first Microsoft OS to ship without support for the old network protocol. Next we're hoping to mourn the passing of FTP (in favor of SFTP of course).
* Michael continued living the [Google Life][4] and found [Google Notebook][3] to be, well, noteworthy. "Google Notebook, plain and simple, is a way to extend your memory while you're surfing around the web. It's like keeping a Moleskine in your browser's back pocket."
* Microsoft [announced][7] and then [actually released][8] a patch to fix a major security exploit in Windows. With numerous nefarious websites already exploiting the animated cursor vulnerability, its best to upgrade now -- even Vista users.
* Google released a [mashup tool to go with Google Maps][2], which should be easy enough that even your mom can use it to map out all the neighborhoods she doesn't want you walking home through late at night.
* µTorrent [released a new public beta][9] adding full support for Windows Vista and a few other goodies. The fearless and brave have already upgraded.
* Google had a big week now that I look back at it. We also took the new [Google Desktop for Mac on a test drive][6] and found it to be a worthy compliment to Apple's Spotlight. Still can't get the GMail integration to work though.
