It seems no one will be updating the Galaxy to Android 2, annoying customers whose purchase decision was based on what it would do rather than what it could do.
This Firefox extension was inspired by the launch of Google's encrypted search option. We wanted a way to ensure that every search our browsers sent was encrypted. At the same time, we were also able to encrypt most or all of the browser's communications
While Android may have the legal licensing to qualify as open source, it utterly fails on the equally important issues of transparency and community. Android basically gives you two options: Accept what Google gives you, or fork the entire codebase. Other
computer sweden 21.11. 201: Massimo Marchiori som är professor vid det italienska universitet Padua University har nu börjat presentera knapphändig information om den nya söktjänsten som går under namnet Volunia.
Google stellt seinen RSS-Reader ein. Um den ist es nicht schade, wohl aber ums RSS-Protokoll. Denn jetzt verbreitet Facebook die News und das ist nicht offen. (tags: google standard software internet)
There are at least two possible paths to get the information into Google: export from org mode to .ics; upload .ics to a public web server giving it a hidden/secret name; tell Google to import this .ics file use googlecl to import event when you create them into Google calendar (update entries won't be reflected in Google).
an application that uses the power of Google's global computer network to make web pages load faster, local cache, prefetching, data compression. Currently a Google Labs product. (probably good for very slow connections and as a general proxy)
document analysis and OCR system, featuring pluggable layout analysis, pluggable character recognition, statistical natural language modeling, and multi-lingual capabilities. The OCRopus engine is based on two research projects: a high-performance handwriting recognizer developed in the mid-90's and deployed by the US Census bureau, and novel high-performance layout analysis methods. OCRopus is development is sponsored by Google and is initially intended for high-throughput, high-volume document conversion efforts.
The announcement this week that Google released a beta version of a robust cloud computing platform called Google App Engine that lets anyone build apps on Googles renowned and highly scalable infrastructure underscored a key trend in the software industry today. Namely that software platforms are moving from their traditional centricity around individually owned and managed computing resources and up into the cloud of the Internet. Googles entry into a space that has been largely dominated so far by Amazon and its Elastic Compute Cloud as well as a few smaller players like Bungee and Heroku has turned the Internet cloud computing space into a fully-fledged industry virtually overnight. What makes these offerings so interesting is their promise to turn enormous amounts of operational competency and accumulated economies of scale (which are enormous in Amazons and Googles cases) into a highly competitive new software platform, akin to Windows or Linux, except entirely hosted off-premises and on the Internet.
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
The VMforce collaboration is VMware’s first public implementation of Platform-as-a-Service (abbreviated as “PaaS”). PaaS offerings aim to make developers incredibly efficient by hiding many of the complexities that they face in typical enterprise IT environments such as:
* Waiting for the provisioning of physical machines and their software
* Changing your code to work with the specific middleware components your company uses
* Handling code modifications that may be required as the middleware versions change
* Dealing with new environments as your code moves from development to staging to production
* Frustrating interactions with the separate operations team when things aren’t working well
PaaS offerings typically offer add-on services available for developers to incorporate into their applications. These include capabilities such as location-based services, identity management, tweeting, chatter, search, and many forms of data storage. The developer efficiency and application richness to be gained through PaaS offerings is clear and we see it as one of the major trends in cloud computing. Today’s PaaS offerings are not without challenges though, and we believe VMware is in a unique position to attack these challenges and help bring PaaS to the mainstream.

The Android Scripting Environment (ASE) brings scripting languages to Android by allowing you to edit and execute scripts and interactive interpreters directly on the Android device. These scripts have access to many of the APIs available to full-fledged Android applications, but with a greatly simplified interface that makes it easy to:
* Handle intents
* Start activities
* Make phone calls
* Send text messages
* Scan bar codes
* Poll location and sensor data
* Use text-to-speech
* And more

Artiklar i idg.se 23.1.09 förutspår att 2009 blir året då googles android, ett linux-baserat operativsystem för mobiltelefoner, slår igenom. Sony Ericsson anslöt sig till open handset alliance i december 2008. Till alliansen hör även bl.a. Asus pc och V
Soocial is a free web service that provides a central location for all of your contacts' phone numbers, email addresses, and other information. If that's all Soocial provided, it wouldn't be that interesting. But Soocial goes a few steps further and allows you to synchronize your contacts across multiple platforms, including your cellphone, Mac, PC, and Gmail.
Java toolkit which makes DAO manager creating easier. It produced DAO compatible with JPA specification. It has implemented CRUD operations and some features (active, hidden, default, etc.). It also extends standard API for criteria (like Hibernate ones).
Picasa: The Google-owned photo service automatically groups photos with similar faces. Users can then more easily label the photos with the names of those who appear in them.
The Google Chart API lets you dynamically generate charts. To see the Chart API in action, open up a browser window and copy the following URL into it:
http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=t:60,40&chs=250x100&chl=Hello|World
Press the Enter or Return key and - presto! - you should see the following image:
