Most of the developers are independent third-party start-ups, but big-name software vendors are now clamoring for a piece of the pie. Names such as Oracle, SAP, and Sybase have released iPhone versions of applications that allow users to tap some of the functionality afforded with the traditional desktop versions. Most of the applications can be found on the App Store,...http://newsmakersnow.blogspot.com/2008/09/five-enterprise-apps-for-iphone.html Google Chrome (BETA) for Windows Available Now- September 3, 2008 Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.

A Canadian has supposedly somehow gotten his hands on both 16GB and 120GB flavors of the Zune, both of which are expected to be released under Zune 3.0 (recall that the original Zune 30GB is considered first generation and that the Zune 4, Zune 8, and Zune 80 are considered second generation)....http://newsmakersnow.blogspot.com/2008/09/third-generation-zune-pictures-leak.html Mozilla Not Worried About Google Browser- September 2, 2008 In response to todays news that Google is releasing its own browser, code-named Chrome, I decide to call John Lilly, CEO of Mozilla Corp., the folks behind the fast-growing Firefox browser. My intention was to find out what Lilly thought about this development, especially since Mozilla has been viewed as close personal partner of Googles. The open-source browser maker depends heavily on a lucrative financial deal it has signed with the search company. The pair recently renewed the deal to last.http://newsmakersnow.blogspot.com/2008/09/mozilla-not-worried-about-google.html Large Hadron Collider Goes Live On September 10- September 2, 2008 The only data the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has produced thus far is a powerful (but debunked) urban myththat the particle accelerator buried under the Swiss-French border will generate apocalyptic black holes.But today, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has announced that the LHC will go online on September 10.

But it wasnt always like this - Back in 1998, highly illegal sites like Audiofind were giving away artists songs quite openly and completely for free in pretty poor-sounding 112 and 128KBps MP3 format, and we were downloading them with our 56K modems - often taking up to half an hour a time. You could play the files on your...http://newsmakersnow.blogspot.com/2008/09/mp3-players-worlds-first-1998.html Google Chrome: Googles Browser Project- September 2, 2008 At Google, we have a saying: launch early and iterate. While this approach is usually limited to our engineers, it apparently applies to our mailroom as well! As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit "send" a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome. As we believe in access to information for everyone, we've now made the comic publicly available -- you can find it here. We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than...http://newsmakersnow.blogspot.com/2008/09/google-chrome-googles-browser-project.html |
