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.

Gifts For All

Completely perplexed when it comes to the gifts you will be giving this holiday season? Don't worry, you aren't the only one. Gifts.com's ingenious design is sure to make everyone's quest for the perfect holiday gifts a simple one.

 

The holiday season is literally right around the corner, but before you go dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh to grandmother's house , you have to find the perfect gifts for your loved ones. Gifts.com, the Internet's only gift-suggestion service, customizes a gift for any recipient on your list.

Gifts.com was launched in 2005 by InterActiveCorp with the intent to assist users of the site in the selection of the perfect gift for any recipient or occasion. Many merchants, such as Ticket Master and CitySearch, are featured in the searches as well as department stores and online specialty stores.

The website itself is has a completely simplistic design which just about any consumer should be capable of using. First of all there is a list of basic recipients, which are men, women, teen guys, teen girls, kids, and babies. Simply select a recipient and an entirely new list of sub-categories, such as movie buff, bookworm, and fashion shopper, can be selected to narrow the search results further.

Once a sub-category has been selected, the search may be further narrowed by variants such as age, occasion, and price. Upon selecting the characteristics which best describe the recipient of the gift, a number of gift suggestions appear.

Each suggestion has a description, price, and where it can be procured, as well as similarly related items. The product of your choosing may then either be purchased online or, if it is sold in a local store, may be purchased the old-fashioned way.

Other than simply just searching and buying gifts on the site, there are several other features. The editors of the site "find and review the Web's best online stores to hand-select gifts for your recipient or occasion". The prices of search items may also be compared among the site's merchants to insure that the consumer receives the best possible deal.

Do not worry about forgetting a birthday, anniversary, or holiday again because you can set Personal and Holiday Reminders for gift-giving occasions, and a list of gift suggestion will be sent via email of gift suggestions. Gifts.com even goes so far as to allow you save a recipient's profile for future gift buying.

With the resources at Gifts.com, no one should ever have to give a gift certificate out of frustration again.
