Video Recording Coming to Apple iPhone in Malaysia

by

iphone video recordingIt is coming! Video recording application for the Apple iPhone is finally coming! Woohoo! The video recording application for the iPhone is by Monster and friends.

The Google Robot or Googlebot Needs New Batteries

by

GooglebotGoogle has yet to come out with its own robot but it’s Googlebot is constantly scouring the Internet for relevant content in webpages. The Googlebot is a search bot used by Google. It collects documents from the web to build a searchable index for the Google search engine.
