Dec 21st
If you are facing the problem of getting FATAL ERROR line using Hello Wired theme in Magento. Try this
This is a proper solution for the problem
Just rename the file
/app/design/frontend/custom_theme/custom_theme/layout/wishlist.xmlor
/app/design/frontend/default/custom_theme/layout/wishlist.xmldepending on where you have installed your theme.
” Rename it to “wishlist.xml.bk” for example. “
Also Do not forget to clear cache and reloade the CONFIG type, flushed cache and then it works, this will load the base wishlist file and probably this is not the way it was supposed to be working for the custom theme. But so far this is the best solution found.

Google Apps No More FREE for Business Users
Dec 19th
Since its initial introduction into the business world in 2005, Google Apps has been available to small business users for free. Even when the premium version was launched in 2007, Google still maintained a free standard version for individuals and small organizations.
But now, Google has announced that it will no longer offer the free version of Google Apps to new business customers. The premium version, now called Google Apps for Business, will continue to be available for $50 per user per year, regardless of company size. Free accounts will be reserved for personal users.
Google said that this change will not impact current Google Apps customers, even those using free business accounts. However, new businesses that sign up for Google Apps will have to sign up for a premium account.
Google Apps offers businesses many useful services, from Gmail accounts to Google Drive cloud storage. Premium accounts also offer a 25GB inbox, 24/7 phone support, and 99.9% uptime with no scheduled downtime.
Since the free version of Google Apps was previously available to both businesses and individuals, Google said that the overall user experience was lacking for both groups, and that’s part of the reason why it chose to make these most recent changes. The company stated in a blog post that many business users tended to outgrow the basic version too quickly and personal users were left waiting on updated features that had to become business ready before launching.
Individual users will still be able to sign up for free personal Google accounts, which allow access to web apps across all of Google’s services. In addition, Google Apps for Education will remain a free offering.
Google Apps is currently used by millions of businesses around the world, which, for now at least, won’t be impacted by this news. But for the new startups launching daily and other businesses that haven’t yet signed up for Google Apps, there will only be one account option available, and it is no longer free.
