Google New | New app in Google



Google New went live today as a directory of new products designed to help call attention to the new products Google launches at a dizzying rate Google New, the ones that may not get as much attention as say Google Instant Search or voice calls from Gmail Google New.

Google New The site will pull together posts from Google's various product and policy-related blogs and it appears it will use some editorial judgment in how it lays out the site: Google Instant Search is in the lead story position, as opposed to product launches over the last 24 hours such as Rich Snippets in Google Maps or enhancements to Google's AdWords accounts. Google New

Google New For a company built on the back of advertising, Google hasn't done a lot of advertising of itself. That's definitely starting to change this year, with the company buying the mother of all ads--a Super Bowl spot--in January, and more recently rolling out plans to advertise its display-ad prowess as well. Thats for Google New.

jQuery UI Autocomplete



jQuery UI Autocomplete, We’ll need to build a custom download of jQuery UI containing just the components we need; head over to the download builder at http://jqueryui.com/download.


jQuery UI Autocomplete We’ll need to use the following core components:
Core
Widget
Position

jQuery UI Autocomplete We’ll also need the Autocomplete widget itself so ensure that just the above items, as well as Autocomplete, are checked in the Components section at the left. Use the default theme (UI Lightness) and ensure that version 1.8 is selected at the right jQuery UI Autocomplete.
Once downloaded, create a new folder on your computer and call it autocomplete.

Then open the archive and copy the css and js folders into the new folder you just created. This will give you all of the library files required for this example including jQuery itself, so this doesn’t need to be downloaded separately jQuery UI Autocomplete.

Windows Phone 7 for GSM only ?



Technology News, Windows Phone 7 Microsoft has opted to delay until next year the CDMA version as it works to finish work on its major rewrite of its phone operating system.
"We had to make some trade-offs," senior product manager Greg Sullivan told CNET today. "Even Microsoft doesn't have unlimited resources. We had to prioritize doing fewer things, really, really well."
The company made the decision to delay the CDMA version earlier this year but had declined to publicly confirm it until now. While GSM is much more widely used in Europe, the decision means that Windows Phone 7 won't be available on two of the four major U.S. networks at launch--Sprint and Verizon.Technology News

as seen here, will go on sale initially only on carriers that use the GSM standard, such as AT&T and T-Mobile.
(Credit: Bonnie Cha/CNET) Technology News
"For the worldwide market, the vast majority of phones are GSM phones, so we focused on GSM first and then plan to deliver an update that will have great CDMA support in the first half of 2011," Sullivan said. "That's device availability in the first half and we're very confident of that. That's probably a conservative estimate." Technology News


The decision to go public about the CDMA delay follows a comment from Verizon Wireless that it would not have phones running the operating system this year. Because Microsoft has delayed the CDMA version, that means Windows Phone 7 also won't be running on Sprint this year, leaving AT&T and T-Mobile as the major potential U.S. launch partners. AT&T has talked about its plans to be part of the Windows Phone 7 launch. Sullivan declined to say if T-Mobile would have devices at launch.Thats Technology News

Windows Phone 7 to hit Broadway



Technology News, Windows Phone 7 launch in 11 oct, but rather a consumer-focused "open house" similar to a holiday event Microsoft held last year in New York, according to a source familiar with the company's plans. Further details on the October event were not immediately available.

Windows Phone 7 from a number of makers are expected to take center stage at Microsoft's October 11 consumer open house in New York. LG has received Federal Communications Commission approval to start selling this Windows Phone device.

While Windows Phone 7 will be a major focus, the open house won't necessarily mark the availability of phones running the new operating system. Devices running Windows 7 are being prepped by a number of handset makers, including LG, Samsung, and HTC, and are expected to hit the market starting next month. Some devices have already gotten approval for sale from the Federal Communications Commission.
After years of development--and several reboots along the way--Microsoft finalized the code for Windows Phone 7at the beginning of this month. The new operating system is a radical departure from past versions of the device, which were focused on business users. The new-look Windows Phone 7 aims to compete for the hearts and wallets of consumers by centering on design and ease of use, as well as connections to Xbox Live and the Zune music service.

iOS 4.1 and iPod Touch released



Technology News, The latest software iOS 4.1 for the iPhone and iPod Touch is available starting Wednesday for download from Apple.

The company foreshadowed the arrival of iOS 4.1 at its annual fall press event last week and included an overview of the latest features. The download is free via iTunes for iPhone and iPod Touch owners.
Besides upgrades to new features for games, photos, and high-definition videos, Apple is using this software update to zap several bugs at once. iPod Touch

Among the issues Apple CEO Steve Jobs promised would be fixed with the installation of iOS 4.1 are: proximity sensor problems that were causing some accidental dropped calls; the painfully slow performance of the iPhone 3G with iOS 4.0; Bluetooth connectivity problems with certain car stereos and headsets (that CNET noted as soon as the iPhone 4 was released); and problems related to the Nike+iPod software.

google instant



Technology news,Google Instant, which the company unveiled Wednesday, is a fundamental shift: instead of search as an outcome, Google is trying to get people to think of search as a process in which you constantly refine your query without actually "searching," or hitting the button to produce a concrete result Google Instant.

Google Instant is betting that in a world of nearly instant communication that search is going to have produce an answer just as fast as updates are spat out from Twitter or other real-time Web services. It's a bit chaotic at first and will certainly throw a few searchers off their game as well as make those in the search-engine optimization game a little anxious.

Search as you type Google Instant. It’s a simple and straightforward idea—people can get results as they type their queries. Imagining the future of search, the idea of being able to search for partial queries or provide some interactive feedback while searching has come up more than a few times. Along the way, we’ve even built quite a few demos (notably, Amit Patel in 1999 and Nikhil Bhatla in 2003).Google Instant Our search-as-you-type demos were thought-provoking—fun, fast and interactive—but fundamentally flawed. Why? Because you don’t really want search-as-you-type (no one wants search results for [bike h] in the process of searching for [bike helmets]). You really want search-before-you-type—that is, you want results for the most likely search given what you have already typed. Thats fro news today Google Instant.

It might be a new game or it symbolizes Google logo some great event or could be a way to celebrate the anniversary of some neat invention. Or it could be a way for Google to celebrate their birthday – the company was founded on September 4, 1998.

Sounding 3D Blu-ray



Technology News, Now, with the release of "Goldberg Variations Acoustica" AIX has ventured into producing original 3D video programming. The new Blu-ray was shot with four prototype Panasonic 3D A1 cameras, and the sound was recorded in 96 kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio.

Technology News,This 3D Blu-ray boasts outstanding sound quality.
(Credit: AIX Records)
"Goldberg" maintains AIX's high standards for sound quality, but I'm an audio guy, so I called upon two of my video reviewer CNET colleagues, David Katzmaier and Matthew Moskovciak, to comment on the disc's 3D picture quality. They watched the Blu-ray on a Panasonic TC-P65VT25 display and were generally impressed. They liked the picture's depth, but expressed concerns about visible crosstalk, which can appear as doubled outlines around onscreen objects like the stand up bass' strings. Katzmaier and Moskovciak also felt the image wasn't as sharp as it could have been.

The crosstalk artifacts varied from shot to shot, but Moskovciak still felt the "Goldberg" Blu-ray might be the best live action 3D picture he's seen *in a home theater setting* (the 3D image quality of "Avatar" in a movie theater was better). Technology News
Regarding the crosstalk, Katzmaier felt it wasn't the disc's fault, and the crosstalk might not show up on future generations of 3D TVs. "Goldberg" is fully compatible with standard 2D Blu-ray players and displays, so you can enjoy the disc even if you don't own a 3D set. Thats for Technology News today

Windows.Next after Windows 7 ?

Technology News Today , Windows.Next
"Next version will be something completly different from what folks usually expect"
The article also goes on to say that internally at Microsoft they are NOT refereeing to the next version of windows as Windows 8 but instead they call it

"Windows.Next"

This could be the best indication so far that the next version of Windows will be based on the Midori OS project that Microsoft have been working on since 2003. Midori has a completely re-written kernel from the ground up that is suppose to be a written almost entirely in managed code Windows.Next.

Technology News, While this should not mean much to end users it means that Microsoft will be able to make a complete break from the legacy code that has been in Windows for the past 2 decades. The importance for this break with legacy code recently became highlighted when Microsoft recently released a patch to fix a security issues that was 17 years old.

Previously such a big changes the OS was not possible but with the release of XP Mode and other virtualisation technologies with Windows 7 backwards compatibility may no longer be an issues. Thats Technology News for Windows.Next

PAX 2010 | InFAMOUS 2 Preview



Technology News , PAX 2010 The graphics of Infamous 2 has gone through a noticeable upgrade. The visuals are on par with Uncharted 2. Everything from the character models to the city streets is very detailed and crisp. The New Orleans inspired New Marais seemed more alive than Empire City, and Sucker Punch did an excellent job making the city look the part.
The demoPAX 2010  starts you right in the middle of action, in Technology News, as swamp monsters are terrorizing a crowd of innocent people. Cole doesn’t waste any time, as he pulls out his new melee weapon which is simply called “The Amp“. Pulling off combos with the Amp is very easy and rewarding as each hit crackles with electricity, and dynamic camera angles are thrown in to give the fight a more cinematic look. Infamous 2 still keeps the transition from normal speed to slow motion in the action sequences, which makes combat even more dramatic. Cole can hit multiple enemies with each sweep of the Amp, and even juggle them. If you are lucky you can throw in a finishing move to end your combos.


After PAX 2010 the beat down I was instructed to chase after the Limo of a man named Bertrand. He is the leader of a militia who holds a grudge against individuals with super powers.To chase him down you have to ride the electric lines of New Marais, which was half the fun of the first Infamous. The power lines you have to follow glow so you can point them out easier. The camera will also point to certain lines making it easier to find the right one , so you don’t miss a stride. PAX 2010 Cole can also ride the electric cables on the side of buildings, besides the power lines in the streets.

Facicons Is Spreading Facebook Emoticon Spam



Technology News Today, There are a million applications to accomplish this (see our list of Facebook emoticons apps), however Facicons now appears to be spreading spam on Facebook rather than friendly smiles. When you update your status with Facicons, there’s a message which states “I’ve added smileys to this status update. Wanna see them? Go to http://s.facicons.com/”. It then prompts you to install the application, thus continuing the cycle of emoticon spam. While we previously thought this application was friendly, it only appears to be good at spreading spam.

Technology News , Right now we’re seeing thousands of people using this application to try and add emoticons. The bottom line is this: don’t install Facicons. There are plenty of other applications that will work at positing emoticons and this isn’t one of them. Just search for “I’ve added smilies” on Facebook (or click here) to see the numerous people who are spaming their friends with this application. You can see a screenshot of the spam spreading through status updates.Thats for Technology News today.

Microsoft releases Windows Phone 7 to manufacturers



Technology News Today : Windows Phone 7 is one step closer to launch, as Microsoft released its revamped mobile operating system for manufacturing on Wednesday.
With most of the internal engineering done, Windows Phone 7 OS RTM is now available to its OEM (original equipment manufacturers) and service provider partners, so they can complete their work on customizations and hardware in preparation for a holiday release.

Terry Myerson, Microsoft's corporate vice president of Windows Phone Engineering, wrote on the Windows Phone 7 Team Blog that Windows Phone 7 is the company's most thoroughly tested mobile platform, noting that it has run daily automated tests on nearly 10,000 devices with more than 3.5 million hours of stress test passes and 8.5 million hours of fully automated test passes.
Though Microsoft is just releasing the RTM now, OEMs and carriers have had builds in testing for some time and a technical preview was released to developers back in mid-July. Since then, Microsoft has received much response from the testers and has made some additional tweaks to Windows Phone 7 based on the feedback, with most of the enhancements centered on the People Hub.
