Mozilla Web Application Project Debuts

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Mozilla

The maker of Firefox is proposing a way to promote Web applications that differs from what Google has in mind.

Mozilla on Thursday launched a developer preview of its Web application platform, a more distributed version of what Google is doing with its Chrome Web Store.

Web applications are simply Web sites with an accompanying configuration file. This file, the manifest, contains extra information necessary to install the Web app, which in some instances may make it available when there’s no network connection.

Google’s Web app specification makes a distinction between installable Web apps and hosted Web apps. The former rely on Google Chrome Extension APIs and only run in the Chrome browser. The latter are simply what we know today as Web sites and they can be accessed by typing the appropriate URL into one’s Web browser.

Microsoft adds Groupon-style deals to Bing

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Microsoft has rolled out a new incentive to attract and keep more Bing users: Group deals.

On March 3, Microsoft introduced “Bing deals” for the desktop and mobile (m.bing.com) via a partnership with The Dealmap. Via the partnership, Bing users in the U.S. will get access to “more than 200,000 unique offers in over 14,000 cities and towns,” according to Microsoft. The Dealmap aggregates group deals from sources including Groupon, Living Social and Restaurant.com, among other sites.

Bing

Update: For now, on the mobile front, Bing deals are for iPhone and Android phones only, as reader @thedavidk pointed out. Microsoft’s official statement: “The (deals) functionality is based on HTML5 and will work with phones that support it, but today is being released for iOS and Android. Windows Phone 7 announced that they will have HTML5 support in an update later this calendar year, at which point deals will work great on Windows Phone.”

Five things the iPad 2 didn’t get

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

iPad

One of the questions I’ve been peppered with since the iPad 2 announcement was whether I was going to replace my first-generation iPad for the new one. The answer for me is yes, since it’s part of my job to live with these gadgets so I can understand their strengths, weaknesses, and appeal. But for most original iPad owners, I’m guessing they’ll be holding out for version 3.

Why’s that? The real big change is less about the external redesign as much as what’s inside. New are things like a snappier processor and built-in graphics that Apple promises to be up to nine times faster than in the first-generation iPad. There are also the two cameras, which will open the device up to a greater number of applications.

Even so, Apple could have gone further, which is why I’m betting many with first-generation devices will be happy to hold out. As Steve Jobs alluded to during yesterday’s event, the company didn’t really have to add much. Competitors like Research In Motion and Hewlett-Packard are still scrambling to get their tablets out on the market, while Google Android tablets like the Xoom are coming in at a higher price than Apple’s entry level iPads with a smaller library of tablet-specific software.
