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.

Turkey And Black Friday With Search

AOL and Ask each have made an effort to draw attention to their search engines with very topical categories for this week: what to eat and where to shop.

 

Our secret agent at AOL, who we know as "The Query," took a cyber-second out of the day to forward a list of what people have searched for at AOL Search.

"The turducken fad is so 2005 - diners this year are sticking to turkeys," our femme fatale cooed into our inbox. "In fact, the popular meal choice from last year didn't even break the top 15 for all meal options this Thanksgiving."

We're of the opinion that "turducken" is an unfortunate name for this delectable treat. Maybe they should call it "Chicaduckey" instead, unless that's a bad word in a foreign language.

After 'turkey' as a search term, the searching audience showed its sweet tooth. The next popular searches on AOL were pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, pumpkin cheesecake, and sweet potatoes rounding out the top five.

After the indulgences of food and football have rendered you unable to do anything more strenuous than move a wireless computer mouse, head over to Ask.com's Blog & Feed Search to find the latest Black Friday sale news.

"Looking for the latest--and earliest--Black Friday sales? The blogosphere's lousy with 'em. Sites are leaking, blogging, and re-blogging them like crazy," the Ask team said on their home blog.

So eat, drink, and enjoy your shopping sprees. Unless you really shouldn't be consuming or spending that much, in which case we suggest staying in and enjoying the company of others. Happy holidays.
