Google Mind Melds With Trekkies

Resistance is futile. You will be compiled.

As part of the 40th anniversary of the legendary science fiction series Star Trek, Google has set up shop in Las Vegas at the 5th Annual Official Star Trek Convention for Trekkies looking to sharpen their programming knowledge.

The Google booth, which has a starship bridge motif, features Google programmers, engineers and product managers who can discuss a variety of APIs, including Google Earth KML, the Google AJAX Search API, Google Calendar's data API and the Google Gadgets API.

Microsoft Extends a Hand To Mozilla

It may be August, but they're having a snowball fight in Hell right about now.

The head of Microsoft's open source lab extended a very public offer to the Mozilla community to work to insure Mozilla software will run properly on Windows Vista.

Firefox 2.0: Mozilla's Tabs Overfloweth

For many Windows users, tabbed browsing is a key attraction for the Mozilla family of browsers. The ability to add multiple 'tabbed' views within one browser window is a feature that some users like to push to extremes.

Microsoft's current stable production version of Internet Explorer does not include tabs, though its next generation version 7 (currently at Beta 3) does.
So how many tabs can you fit in one window? No matter how many you can fit into Firefox 1.5.x, the next release of Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 will give you more.
Using a default configuration in Firefox 1.5.x, at a screen resolution of 1024x768, in tests performed by internetnews.com 34 tabs can be squeezed in before they start to get lost.
A user can add more than 34 tabs but in a default Firefox 1.5.x installation, those tabs will fall off the end of the tab bar and will not be very usable. Even at 34 tabs, the default tab width makes it difficult to figure out which tab is which.

Gmail Continues Upgrading Services

Gmail continues moving ahead in the competitive market of free webmail services and has just announced some added new features toits expanding and very popular service.

 


Information released today by Gmail reveals that there a total of five upgrades. The first is that it's no longer necessary to scroll to the bottom of a long message to find the REPLY link. Now there's a Reply button on top, along with a lot of other options under the little dropdown arrow.

The service also has reduced new message notifications. If someone sends a reply while you're in the middle of reading a conversation (or replying to it), you'll get a notification that a new message has arrived. Click UPDATE CONVERSATION to see what you've missed.

There's also the addition of FORWARD ALL. When viewing a conversation, link on the right if you want to forward the entire conversation instead of just one message.

Now you can chat even when your friends are offline. If you're chatting with a friend who goes offline, your friend will be able to see whatever you were typing the next time he or she goes online.

And lastly, Gmail is right on top of the latest moblogging technology, as this continually evolves and is pushed in the industry. Simply point your phone to gmail.com/app, download it one, and start accessing Gmail on your phone with just a click or two. Heading in the direction of video on your cellphone, you'll be able to have all your regular account capabilities along with viewing attachments such as photos, documents, and .pdf files.

Gmail still comes with built-in Google search technology and over 2,600 megabytes of storage (and growing every day). You can keep all your important messages, files and pictures forever, use search to quickly and easily find anything you're looking for, and make sense of it all with a new way of viewing messages as part of conversations.

There are no pop-ups or untargeted banner ads in Gmail, only small text ads. Ads and related information are relevant to your messages, so instead of being obtrusive, they may even be useful for once.

Gmail also integrates instant messaging right into the email experience, so you can stay in even better touch with your friends when you're online. Easy, efficient and maybe even fun to use. It's a whole new way to think about email. It's Google's approach to email.

And so far, it continues to be a phenomenal success!
