Google Search Enhancements today and tomorrow

There’s a new enhanced version (the “universal version”) of search which combines results from image, video and text components in a single search result.

Silverlight - Microsoft takes on Flash

Microsoft has recently released Silverlight 1.0, a .NET-based competitor to Adobe’s Flash animation product.
This is an interesting strategic move as Microsoft is moving into what is clearly established territory for the Flash brand.  Microsoft is extending the reach of the new Windows Presentation Foundations (WPF) to the web with a version being called WPF/E […]

Facebook and information privacy

Well it’s been 9 whole days now, and I can officially say I’m a Facebook convert.
At last count, there were 116 people on my friends list. All of whom I’ve been friends with at some point in my past and many of whom I haven’t seen in years… a few almost a decade.

Microsoft Longhorn/IIS 7.0 GoLive

Last week (while I was too busy watching playoff hockey to post), Microsoft announced that the Beta 3 version of Windows Server “Longhorn” complete with the brand spankin’ new IIS 7.0 would be offered with a “Go-Live” license.  This means that the new version can legally be deployed in a production environment prior to […]

Apple Delays Leopard until October

In a somewhat expected move, Apple announced today that their much anticipated next-generation OS will be delayed past the promised “Spring 2007” ship date. Speculation was that the new version of Mac OS X codenamed “Leopard” would be released during Apple’s World Wide Developer’s Conference in June. Ironically, this message is also […]

EMI Kills DRM

Today, EMI and Apple announced the availability of the entire 5 Million song EMI catalog on iTunes DRM Free. This is the first major step towards a DRM free music Universe.

Windows Vista Launch

What kind of a geek would I be if I didn’t at least mention that Microsoft launched Windows Vista and Office 2007 this past Monday.  There, I said it.  If you want to learn more, listen to Bill.

Google Tabs!

Google has been offering a tabbed interface to the customized content of your Google homepage for some time, but as Miss604 cites in her blog, that feature has been seemingly a bit sporadic… To be honest I’d sort of forgotten all about it.
However, after reading her blog last night and giving some thought to […]
