After the long wait! Google finally opens up the Google Voice to the public!

But the only thing I’m concerned about in this article is that about the voice transcript being index by the search engines.  Even though they said the it has been fixed its still disconcerting.

Here’s how I did it.

1.  Create data that needs to be charted in Excel 2007. Label the headings  and numbers. No blanks spaces in the table please.  See example below.
Google     71.40%
Yahoo     14.96%
Bing            9.43%
Ask             2.18%
Others      2.03%

2.  Click,hold and drag a box around the label and data to select it.

3.  Select  Insert,Charts and choose the chart you want.

4.   Format the chart by right-clicking it and that’s it!

How to report lost or stolen Apple product?

Apple does not have a formal flagging process for reporting stolen property. If you have lost or found an Apple product, please contact your local law enforcement agency to report it.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526?viewlocale=en_US

So does this means anyone can walk in an Apple store with a lost/stolen ipod touch and have it repaired or something?

Same thing with itunes? A lost/stolen ipod can be connected to itunes and Apple still makes money off it?  wow.
