Google’s Book of 20 Things

Friday, November 19th, 2010

A few days ago, Google played fashion guru to the public in its Boutiques.com launch. Today, the company is taking on a new role: a teacher.

In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of Tim Berners-Lee’s proposal for the World Wide Web, Google has published an online interactive children’s book meant to educate people on browsers and the web in this current age. Called ’20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web’, the book informs people on what exactly HTML5 is, what do ‘cookies’ or ‘cloud computing’ mean, and other nuggets of web wisdom.

Google Jumps Into Fashion E-Commerce

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Aiming to become the first stop for online shoppers of apparel and accessories, Google Inc. launched a fashion e-commerce site Boutiques.com, which uses human curators, visual recognition and machine learning technology to recommend items to shoppers.

The move thrusts the Mountain View, Calif., Internet giant into the rapidly growing online fashion market, an area in which Amazon.com Inc. and eBay Inc. are stepping up their offerings. It’s a lucrative market, with the online apparel and accessories industry hitting $19 billion in the U.S. in 2009, according to comScore Inc., and growing fast.

Silverlight, HTML5, and Microsoft’s Opaque Development Strategy

Friday, November 5th, 2010

At the Professional Developers Conference 2010 (PDC10) last week, a Microsoft executive misspoke, or at least over-generalized, regarding the software giant’s plans for HTML 5 and Silverlight, kicking off an online debate about the viability of the respective technologies and a hasty public statement on Microsoft’s corporate website. But this episode underscores a much deeper problem around compatibility that is going to dog businesses of all sizes for years to come—a situation that will only be exacerbated by the popularity of heterogeneous smartphone platforms.

Yahoo Mail Gets a Refresh Beta, Adds Twitter

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Speed and spam topped the list of what Yahoo was trying to improve in its next version, a beta of which will start rolling out to users Tuesday night. The redesigned version takes inspiration from Yahoo’s iPad and Android clients for the market-leading, Web-based mail service, and not only adds the speed and spam reduction, but also brings Twitter into its fold and, like Microsoft’s updated Hotmail service, can now display photos and videos within users’ inboxes.

David McDowell, Yahoo’s senior director of product management for Yahoo Mail, about the new mail version: “People spend more than 30 billion minutes a month on Yahoo Mail, so if we make a change, it’s significant,” said McDowell. “If you were to stack up users lists of complaints about e-mail, speed and spam would be at the top of the list, and we’ve tackled both head on with this release. Yahoo Mail’s been re-architected from the ground up with speed and performance in mind, and it’s actually two times faster than our existing version—much faster to load and much faster to navigate.”

Microsoft Launches “Cloud” Version of Office

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

As websites continue to evolve from static pages to interactive tools rivaling desktop apps, you’re bound to hear more and more about cloud computing. Under the model, your computer wouldn’t need tons of storage or processing power, but would make use of those resources on remote servers and instead act more as a remote terminal. One of the biggest names in software is in the middle of making that move to a cloud-based system, as Microsoft announced the launch of online-based Office 365.

Office 365, scheduled to ship next year, is now available in limited beta form in 13 countries and regions and includes Office Web Apps, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and Lync Online.

Combining some of Microsoft’s existing cloud-based services, it will be available through most browsers, including Mozilla’s Firefox, Apple’s Inc’s Safari and Google’s Chrome, and can be used on mobile devices such as Research in Motion Ltd’s BlackBerry and Apple’s iPad.
