Today, Mozilla released the third Firefox for Maemo Release Candidate.
Since RC2, Mozilla said that it had fixed several usability bugs that were found, as well as addressed a number of performance issues.
"To improve page load times and responsiveness, we tuned a number of preferences and improved several algorithms. We?ve sped up zooming and made our panning even better," Mozilla said.
If you?ve already got RC2 installed on your N900 or N810, you will be receiving a software update shortly. Otherwise, you can install it from here.
Mozilla decided to disable plugin (not to be confused with add-ons, which are supported) support for this release. The Adobe Flash plugin
used on many sites degraded the performance of the browser to the point where it didn?t meet Mozilla's standards. If you wish to enable our experimental plugin support, you will be able to manually via about: config, but do so at your own risk. Mozilla said that they were working on an add-on that would allow the user to have control of which sites to enable plugins for, as some sites, like YouTube, do work quite well.

Google Search Is Getting More Social
Google's Social Search is available to everyone in beta on google.com.
With Social Search, when users search for something on Google, they not only do we get the usual websites with expert opinions, they also find relevant pages from their friends and contacts.
"For example, if one of my friends has written a blog where he talks about a great baby shop he found in Mountain View, this might appear in my social results. I could probably find other reviews, but my friend's blog is more relevant because I know and trust the author, "said Maureen Heymans, Technical Lead for Social Search at Google.
Google has also added some new features to the search. For example, they' ve added social to Google Images. Now when you're doing a search on Images, you may start seeing pictures from people in your social circle. These are pictures that your friends and other contacts have published publicly to the web on photo-sharing sites like Picasa Web Albums and Flickr. Just like the other social results, social image results appear under a special heading called "Results from your social circle." Here's what it looks like:
Looking at the screenshot, you may notice two new links for "My social circle" and "My social content." These links will take you to a new interface we've added where you can see the connections and content behind your social results. Clicking on "My social circle" shows your extended network of online contacts and how you're connected.
Clicking on "My social content" lists your public pages that might appear in other people's social results. This new interface should give you a peek under the hood of how Social Search builds your social circle and connects you with web content from your friends and extended network. You can check out your social circle directly by visiting this link. (Note that it may take some time for the connections and content to update.)
The new features are rolling out now on google.com in English for all signed-in users.

DRAMeXchange: iPad stimulates demand of NAND Flash
With the release of Apple's iPad, Apple currently controls over 20% of the NAND flash demand according to a DRAMeXchange estimation.
Therefore, whenever Apple launches new products, the popularity of the new device may bring forth a capacity crunch to the NAND flash market. DRAMeXchange believes that the iPad may sell 1.5million units in the first half of 2010 , a total of 9million?10 million for 2010. Consequently, the iPad will consume approximately 2% of the total NAND flash demand in 2010. DRAMeXchange also expects that the iPad demand created by Apple will exacerbate the shortage situation in 2H10, magnify NAND flash sufficiency ratio from -2.6 to -5.7% for 2010 and from -5.4% to -9.8% for 2H10.
The device is a half-inch thick and weighs about 1.5 pounds with a 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display. The heart of iPad is a 1GHz Apple-built A4 processor with 10 hours of battery life and 30 days of standby time.
Basically, DRAMeXchange sees the new iPad as an extension of the iPhone/iPod touch product line. iPad essentially works as the way as a iPod touch does, purchasing and listening to music on iTunes, playing games downloaded from Apps stores, surfing the web in the palm of your hand. However, what is intriguing about the new device is the differentiation of the three product lines. If the iPhone is targeted on mobile phone users and the iPod touch is targeted on gamers and iPod users, the iPad is obviously design for e-book reading and light computing.
Apple has struck deals with five major book partners in the U.S. to bring contents to the iBooks, Apple's new e-book reading application available on iPhone/iPod touch/iPad. Book contents are not limited to black and white text e-books like Amazon kindle; everything is displayed in sharp, rich, color. Moreover, we speculate that in future versions of iBooks, publishers may provide dynamic and interactive e-books, author?s video interviews and even social networking applications. Apple reinvented the portable music play industry with iPod, reinvented the mobile phone industry with iPhone, and may as well reinvent the publishing industry with iPad, says DRAMeXchange.
As for the pricing of the new tablet computer, the Wi-Fi only models will come in 16GB for $499, 32GB for $599 and 64GB for $699. The 3G models runs on AT&T with new data plans ? 250MB for $14.99 and an unlimited plan for $29.99 a month contract-free ? and will cost an extra $130 per model. The Wi-Fi only models will be available beginning in April and the 3G model in May. Plans for international release will be announced later this summer.

ASUS Unveils Low Radiation Motherboards
ASUS launched the ASUS Protect 3.0 Design based motherboards, which are equipped with an anti-radiation shielding that lowers the generation and transmission of harmful radiation by up to 50%.
The low levels of radiation lowers the adverse health impact to users and delivers more stable system operations. Additionally, active anti-surge protection helps enhance component and system longevity. Protect 3.0 also includes the ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) chip to reduce system-wide power consumption by up to 80.23% and to ensure a more environmentally sustainable operation.
On average, users are exposed to about eight hours of electromagnetic radiation daily from computer usage. Protect 3.0 effectively reduces this radiation exposure by up to 50%?achieving the lowest radiation emission levels in the industry. Additionally, a Low Radiation Circuit Design reduces the radiation produced by electrical components by intelligently positioning oppositely-charged electrical flows across each other to cancel out the fields generated. Finally, a Radiation Moat Design eliminates radiation leakage to surrounding components by confining it to small region around an active area.
With its Anti-Surge Design, Protect 3.0 detects under- or overvoltage conditions in components and prevents electrical surges from spreading. Whenever surges occur especially during a thunderstorm or periods of unstable grid power delivery, Anti-Surge will immediately shut off the electrical supply and prevent potential component damage?thus enhancing total system longevity.
For enhanced efficiency and more earth-friendly operations, Protect 3.0 includes the ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit), an energy-saving chip that intelligently reduces power consumption
by up to 80.23%. EPU automatically fine-tunes the power channeled to components such as the CPU in real time for superb efficiency. To further reduce energy consumption, EPU also automatically delivers the most appropriate power via intelligent acceleration and overclocking. Such enhanced efficiency results in less CO2 released to the atmosphere from lower power generation. In fact, 10 million EPU-enabled motherboards can help eliminate up to 207,430 tons of CO2?equivalent to Australia's annual carbon emissions.

MSI Wind U135
The new platform Pine Trail, designed around the Atom processor N450 and N470, promises a battery life combined with faster performance. While the goal is not to turn in netbook a lightning war, but to earn 10 to 15% performance. We will now see how behaves the new family member Wind, the U135 comes standard with Windows Starter Edition 7. The gain in speed is really sensitive and autonomy, extended by low consumption of the new Intel architecture, it is the appointment?
The regulars of the MSI Wind U100 will be in familiar territory. Indeed, the chassis of the U135 is almost identical to its predecessor. The shiny finish of the hull is relatively sensitive to fingerprints, but almost all manufacturers have succumbed to this mode. However, the quality of plastics is good with a very slight effect on the glittery interior and a discreet design on the outer shell provides a netbook well done although a little thick. The 6 cell battery which exceeds below does not catch up this impression of a machine a little stocky.
Consistency technology seems lot of netbooks. As with the previous generation, release themselves and are very similar. After the 1005P Asus Eee PC and the Samsung N210, this configuration is powered by an Intel Atom N450 clocked at 1.66GHz, backed by 1GB of DDR2 memory and hard drive 250 GB From classic therefore a platform that is at par with other notebooks Pine Trail that we tested. With a score of 1440 in PC Mark 2005, an index to Windows 2.30 and PC Mark 2006 to 147, performance is actually up slightly compared to previous processor Atom N270 and N280 example. The score of the circuit graph has even doubled, but no need to make plans on the comet, it will of course be impossible to play 3D games money on such a machine.
In everyday use, this netbook is for small office, surfing, watching DivX movies, even HD 720p. A test on a 1080p movie that is to say in Full HD proved much less convincing. The CPU is often so overwhelmed with where unpleasant jerks on the screen, because the decoding of certain formats of HD files do that in software mode so without hardware acceleration.
A self-deceptive
It's a surprise, but both say at the outset, not good! For the record, we have also doubled this test facing the wrong result. Given for 7 hours 30 the MSI U135 comes painfully to spend 4 hours reading DivX continuous brightness of the screen to push back. In reality, a user will take more time, but this score is very disappointing compared to other netbooks Pine Trail that we tested under the same conditions (about 6 h 30). Measuring the voltage also shows a higher consumption of nearly 4 watts average of the other champions of the category as the Asus 1005p, for example.
An increase in comfort
With his Chiclets-style keyboard that is to say with key way "favors" well spaced, the U135 can type text without suffering too much despite the small keyboard, which is not designed to rewrite the 'Encyclopedia Britannica. Although seen, a function key is used to cut the touchpad to avoid typing in it accidentally. Without being multipoint touchpad that also progresses and proves acceptable to use with ability to configure vertical and horizontal scrolling. The presence of n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is also a good point and ease further to provide a mobile phone for example. Note however the lack of 3G, which did not differ from the competition.

Search: Google still leading, Microsoft began
The market research institute comScore recently released a benchmark report on the market for Internet search in December 2009. It covers both conventional search engines and other online services offering research, such as portals or sites of e-commerce.
It is clear that once again Google has clearly dominated the industry with 87.8 billion queries conducted in the world, representing a market share of 66.8% and an annual growth of 58%. Yahoo! remains confined to the second place ranking with 9.4 billion queries (13%), followed by Baidu China with 8.5 billion queries (7%).
Microsoft last December was the fourth player in research on the net, with 4.1 billion queries on its engines and an annual growth of no less than 70%, launch Bing forces. Finally, note the rapid growth (+91% yoy) of Russian search engine Yandex, which now has 1.9 billion queries, ahead Facebook, Ask or Alibaba.
comScore indicates that the last country where research on the Internet is more developed are not surprised the United States, with 22.7 billion in total requests made in December 2009, China (13.2 billion queries) and Japan (9.1 billion). France appears only the sixth place ranking with 5.42 billion queries, a figure up still 61% compared to December 2008.

Controversy around the SourceForge open source directory
The directory of open source software at SourceForge.net is the heart of a controversy. Indeed, on its official blog, the team tries to clarify its terms and conditions and said that the law of the United States requires the site to filter the content from certain regions and downloads. Specifically, developers residing in Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Sudan or Syria have no right of access to SourceForge.net.
Returning to his motivation to play a major role in the distribution of free software or open source, SourceForge team explains: "However, in addition to participating in the life of the open source community, we also live in a real world and are governed by the laws of our country. Our duty to obey them far exceeds all our dreams of creating a united community. "
The U.S. agency financial control OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) has in effect created a list of people and countries that have no access whatsoever to U.S. products. For this reason "last week, SourceForge.net began to automatically block certain IP addresses to force these conditions of use.
This initiative raises many questions, starting with whether the content posted on SourceForge.net may truly be considered American products. In addition, many general conditions SourceForge simply does not meet the definition of the term itself open source that no descrimination should be practiced.
Ironically the situation a few days after the secretary of state Hillary Clinton spoke about cyber-attacks on Google and denied by China. It stated: "The country does not respect free access to information or violating the rights of Internet users are likely to close the doors of the progress of the next century." She added: "Last year, we observed a peak of threats targeting the free exchange of information. China, Tunisia and Uzbekistan took steps to censor the Internet.
SourceForge.net then seems caught between two fires and the filtering of IP addresses to force these terms seem to have cooled rather the developer community.

Intel retains 80.5% of the market for x86 processors
Crisis or no crisis, the x86 processor market is booming, if one believes the figures released by IDC for the last quarter of the year. After several periods of famine, he would sign even a return to "normal seasonal" with an increase of 31.3% over one year. On the full year, the market rose 2.5% in volume, but lost 7.1% in value, representing a total turnover of 28.6 billion dollars.
"For the third quarter, the modest increase recorded in the fourth quarter indicates that the market recovers its normal seasonal variations," said Shane Rau, an analyst in charge of semiconductors at IDC. "The significant increase over fourth quarter 2008 shows that the market has exceeded the recession."
Intel is still very far ahead, with 80.5% of deliveries made in the last quarter of 2009. AMD followed with 19.4%, an increase of 0.7% over the previous quarter, while VIA represents 0.2% of deliveries.
In the market called "mobile x86 processors for notebooks, Intel's shares rise to 86.8%, against 12.8% for AMD. The server side, the advance is more marked, with 89.9% to 10.1% against Intel for AMD. It is on the market of processors for desktop and workstations as the challenger proved the most aggressive. Over the period studied, it would have made 28.8% of shipments, up 2.3%, against 71% for Intel.
The battle could intensify during 2010, boosted by encouraging prospects. IDC states and expect an increase of about 15% over the year. To establish his leadership, Intel will rely on its latest range of processors to 32 nanometers engraved and fitted with integrated graphics controller. Pending the arrival of its first six-core chip, scheduled for the second quarter (II X6 Phenom), AMD is projected to expand its product lines, focusing on entry and mid-range segments in which the offer is likely to rival that of Intel.

Red Hat launches community site Opensource.com
Heavyweight world of free software publisher Red Hat has this week opened the doors of opensource.com site, presented as a forum dedicated to the community. The latter was invited to speak on various aspects of open source, starting with the impact that this model might have outside of the software world. The site, in preparation since last October, called on the content manager (CMS) open source Drupal.
It's Jim Whitehurst, CEO of Red Hat, who leads with a note in which he outlines the objectives being pursued by the publisher. "This site is one of the ways in which Red Hat wants to give something back to the open source community. We want to create a connection point between all the conversations related to the potential impact - and has - the open source beyond the software world, "it says it, taking care to add that it is neither a site "for Red Hat, or a site" about Red Hat. "
Just launched, the site already has many contents, however, the majority of employees from Red Hat. According to the initial comments left on the site, the initiative seems rather well received.

Ubuntu: Canonical announced a partnership with Yahoo!
In a message posted on the official mailing list of Canonical, Rick Spencer, head of development operating system Ubuntu, has announced three changes to come.
Specifically, these amendments concern the Firefox browser the next version of Ubuntu (10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx), scheduled for April. The start page should thus be associated with the search defaults configured by the user. Thus, if users' changing for Yahoo, the homepage will also be modified with a Yahoo search box, "says Spencer.
Yahoo! will move elsewhere as a search engine by default, an initiative that does nothing to change this setting in the program options. Specifically, "Canonical has negotiated a contract to share revenue with Yahoo!. For the company founded by Mark Shuttleworth, it is diversifying its financial strategy to ensure greater pace of system development.
Remember that Google and Mozilla maintain a similar partnership. Advertising revenues remitted by Google up almost 85% of total income of the foundation ($ 57 million in 2006). Note also the irony of the situation as if some advocates of free system Ubuntu will choose to keep Yahoo! as a search engine by default, results returned may soon be calculated by Microsoft technology.

Specifically, "Canonical has negotiated a contract to share revenue with Yahoo!. For the company founded by Mark Shuttleworth, it is diversifying its financial strategy to ensure greater pace of system development.
Remember that Google and Mozilla maintain a similar partnership. Advertising revenues remitted by Google up almost 85% of total income of the foundation ($ 57 million in 2006). Note also the irony of the situation as if some advocates of free system Ubuntu will choose to keep Yahoo! as a search engine by default, results returned may soon be calculated by Microsoft technology.
Google wants to extend the DNS protocol
In December, we learned that Google had launched its own resolution service areas. Called Google Public DNS latter promises an Internet faster, safer and respecting the principles of net neutrality. Remember that the DNS server will translate a domain name (eg google.com) and IP address of the server on which this website is hosted.
"We believe that a faster DNS infrastructure could improve the browsing experience for all users significantly," said Google had then. Today we know a little more. Indeed, the firm in Mountain View, accompanied by several DNS service providers, has sent a proposal to the Working DNSext to amend the protocol in question.
When communication is established between the machine and the server, Google hopes that many devices will be sent information including the location of the user. This measure is based on the IP address of the latter. However to ensure the privacy of the user, and Carlo Contavalli Wilmer van der Gaast explains: "Our proposal for the protocol DNS servers allow recursive name (Ed: for example that of an ISP) to include some Your IP address during a request from a root server. " They add that only the first three bytes or the first 24 bits are sent and thus prove sufficient to determine the location of the user while maintaining his anonymity. There then follows a process of communication much faster.
If she were to be accepted by the group DNSext, this proposal could then shape the future of the DNS standard.

Oracle filed a complaint against Rimini Street
The giant Oracle, which specializes in professional solutions, has filed a complaint against Rimini Street. The company offers support services and updates to Oracle products at bargain prices.
Oracle accuses the company of stealing content protected by intellectual property rights by connecting to its online services using identifiers of one of Oracle customers. In turn Seth Ravin, CEO of Rimini Street, denies and says "we will fight in this battle (...) we will respond vigorously and aggressive when the time is right."
Recall that in July 2007, SAP admitted that some employees of its subsidiary TomorrowNow had downloaded inappropriate content on the site of Oracle, adding that SAP employees had not had access. Henning Kagermann, head of SAP, said then: "Even a single inappropriate download is unacceptable. We sincerely regret what happened. "
It is interesting to note Seth Ravin is not only the founder of Rimini Street, but also co-founder of TomorrowNow.

Peter Klein, responsible for financial operations of the group said: "The exceptional demand for Windows 7 has drawn a positive growth for the company." Indeed, Microsoft has sold 60 million licenses for its latest operating system released last October 22.
It is therefore not surprising to learn that the Windows division and Windows Live services is one that has recorded the highest turnover (6.9 billion against $ 4 billion the previous year). The year 2009 also marked the release of Windows Server 2008 R2. The group "Server and Tools," then shows a slight increase (3.88 billion against 3.75 billion). For its part the Business Department has registered a small decline (4.74 billion against 4.88 billion). Same thing for the entertainment and electronics (2.9 billion against 3.2 billion).

After YouTube, Vimeo happening in HTML 5
A few hours after Google announced its plans to expand the testing phase around the HTML 5 and the video site Vimeo says on his official blog with implementing this technology on most of its portal.
On the top of any compatible video site it will suffice to click on the link at the bottom right titled "Switch to HTML5 player" to get the new drive. This new option has the advantage of starting instantly regardless of the location of the playhead and then without waiting for traditional caching.
However HTML5 is not yet supported by all browsers. "This will only work for about one quarter of you," said developer Brad Dougherty, adding: "you should use the latest versions of Safari, Chrome or Internet Explorer with the plugin installed Chrome Frame. Note that if Firefox takes good care the video H.264 format used by Vimeo is not compatible however, a problem also found on YouTube. Also the full screen mode is not available due to "a limitation of browsers. Finally, it is still not possible to export the clip in this format.
Vimeo says that about 90% of videos uploaded last year will work with this new drive. In all about 35% of videos on Vimeo still require Flash Player.

For if they had a head start on the "lights" Sony, Bookeen or iRex thanks to the integration of a web browser and a 3G chip, new models of reading devices will much more sophisticated.
Meanwhile the output of the first models with color screens, some of them will indeed reach its emails or its online calendar. And rather than imposing new practices, Amazon put the developers through the release of an SDK for developing third-party programs are compatible with the Kindle (6-inch screen) and Kindle DX (9.7 inches) .
A kiosk software download will be implemented in the coming months and available directly from the "Kindle Store". Publishers like Handmark (Zagat, puzzle games) or EA Mobile have so far already announced their support for the next offer.
Note that at the same time, Amazon has recently offered to publishers and authors worldwide to publish their books in English, German and French on the "Kindle Store". And to encourage them to focus on Amazon's proprietary platform, a new mode of their remuneration is being proposed.
As of June 30, authors will retain 70% of revenues from the sale of a digital book for a Kindle if they meet certain criteria. Because of his work to offer a price between 2.99 and 9.99 dollars, to sell at least 20% cheaper than its paper equivalent, or to authorize the activation of the function of speech (Texto to speech ).

PhysX and multi-core: AMD accuses NVIDIA denies
NVIDIA has it changed the management technology of physics effects PhysX so that it draws only partly advantage of multi-core processors in order to enhance the attractiveness of its own graphics cards? It is assumed that defends Richard Huddy, in charge of developer relations at AMD. In an interview granted to Bit-Tech, he in effect accuses the manufacturer of GeForce of deliberately undermined support for physics calculations by processors with more than two cores, which he said was much better when technology was still PhysX developed by Ageia, its intiateur, acquired by NVIDIA in early 2008. Explicitly challenged by its competitor, NVIDIA denies these allegations.
"When they bought Ageia, they had a very correct implementation of the Multi-in PhysX. If you look now, you'll see it uses essentially a heart, or at best two. That damn petty, "says Richard Huddy. "It's much the same thing that the old trick overstaffed with Intel's compiler [supposed disadvantage competing processors, editor's note]; NVIDIA has just removed all the optimizations for multicore PhysX, says he yet. In doing so, NVIDIA enhance the salability of its graphics cards, which do not evoke the same interest if all tests showed that a processor does as well or better management of physical effects.
The development kit associated with PhysX is designed so that the management process is determined by the application developer, not by the functions of the SDK itself, refutes Nadeem Mohammad, product manager at NVIDIA, on the One of the blogs from the manufacturer. "One of the best examples is 3DMarkVantage, which can use 12 processes when running in software rendering PhysX. Anyone who has a multicore processor and a GeForce PhysX compatible can easily verify. The level of support for multicore and method of programming has not changed since day one, "says he again.

LG plans to sell over 140 million phones a year
LG has unveiled a strategy of development of mobile business, including sales of 140 million pieces of phones in 2010. These plans also include expansion of the global smart phone market with the goal to become by 2012 one of the two leading manufacturers of mobile devices.
LG plans to sell in 2010 140 million mobile phones, a 20% increase from last year. The company aims to expand its presence on the world market, as evidenced by the successful opening of about 100 retail outlets selling mobile phones in emerging markets in 2009. In 2010, LG plans to focus on the markets of Korea and North America, where he wants to go to become a leading provider of innovative customized smartphones. Expanding its product range - from comfortable and practical to luxurious and expensive devices - LG aims to take a leadership position in the world of mobile communications this year.
Success is being made in attaining the 2012 goal, which should bring the LG share of the smartphone market to double digits. Last year, the company created a special business unit for smartphones and increased the number of labor force employed in scientific, technical and engineering development of smartphones, to the unprecedented magnitude of 30%. This year, LG plans to announce about 20 smartphones based on operating system Android, Windows Mobile and Linux. Special hope the company puts on smartphones based on operating system Android, which would amount, according to expectations, more than half the new smartphone LG. In the first half of 2010 the company will focus on the production of smartphones for novice users, will be launched later in the production apparatus premium segment with trendy designs and advanced features. The result of all these efforts will create a model of smartphone, the level of sales which can reach a mark of 10 million units.
The desire to address the needs of users is a key factor of promotion of LG in the smartphone market. With the service "3 Screen Service», whose appearance is scheduled for this year, users can view the same content on their handheld devices, PCs and TV without converting to other formats. In February this year, LG will provide the device's breakthrough tripartite synchronization "3-Way Sync», which will allow easy viewing of mobile, PC and web content through a wireless connection. LG is also working closely with leading international content developers to provide permanent access to a wide range of entertaining and practical applications for smartphones.
