Google Offers Free Technology Roundtable Videos

0 comments
We've written before about the large collection of videos aimed at developers that Google has made available. This list of nearly 80 examples may be of much interest to open source developers, including seminars on Android, OpenSocial, and more. Now, Google has added technology roundtables to its free video library. These feature Google engineers discussing search technology, Map Reduce (considered to be Google's secret search sauce), working with clusters and the cloud, and much more. Check out the details at WebWorkerDaily.

Google Chrome: One Month Old

3 comments

Google's open source Chrome browser is now one month old. Usage of the browser has gone down since it was first released, as reported at GigaOm.

It's also interesting to look through some site-specific data on Chrome users, though. For much more, check out GigaOm's story.

Android Marketplace to Offer Free App Trials

0 comments
Have you ever gotten frustrated with Apple's iTunes store because of the lack of free trials? The grass is slightly greener and the attitude more open on the other side of the operating system: Google's Android Marketplace will allow for free, limited-trial applications. This sounds like good news for users of the T-Mobile G1 Android-based phone, but there is a catch: T-Mobile intends to charge developers $2 per month for any free Marketplace app that will use more than 15 megabytes per month. That's likely to apply to many applications. Check out more from JKOnTheRun.

Precipitate Puts Spotlight on the Cloud

0 comments
If you are a frequent user of either Google Bookmarks or Google Docs and you're using Mac OS X, there is now a free, open source way of searching your content via Spotlight. As TheAppleBlog notes, Precipitate makes a local copy of your files on your machine, then Spotlight imports them. Precipitate periodically checks in with the 'cloud' and updates the local files to reflect any changes, says the post. Check out more at TheAppleBlog.

Google Chrome--Minus the Snooping

1 comments
As Downloadsquad is reporting, the Chromium source code for Google's Chrome open source browser has already been fashioned into a new version of the browser: Iron.? Apparently German company SRWare developed its knock-off of Chrome for users who are concerned about Google's policies for collecting private information--a constant Achilles heel for the company. SRWare's home page is in German, but the folks at the Incomplete News Project have published a translation with details on what SRWare's version does.

The Google Phone: There's a Problem in the Fine Print

4 comments
The Web is already teeming with analysis of the T-Mobile G1--the first phone to run the Android operating system, which we covered yesterday. Today, our sister site JKOnTheRun has some good critiques of the phone and its data plan, inlcuding lack of Exchange support, and no way to sync with a computer. However, a reader of WebWorkerDaily who responded to a post on the phone that I wrote alerted me to a problem with T-Mobile's data plan that in fact be the deal-breaker for some people. It's in the fine print, and here's the problem, below the fold.

GigaOm: Live from the Google Phone Announcement

0 comments
GigaOm is live blogging from the unveiling event for the first Android-based phone. At $179, it features a touch screen, a Webkit-based browser, one-click ordering from Amazon, integration with Google maps, and a compass mode where street view maps move as you do. The phone looks interesting, but we still expect follow-on Android phones to be more full featured. Check out GigaOm's thoughts.

If Android Won't Do, Consider the Alternative Alternatives

0 comments

The fateful day has arrived for the first Android-powered phone. This Google-backed open phone will likely be sufficient for a large number of users -- if not in its first incarnation, certainly within a few models and revisions.

But it certainly isn't the only open phone. It isn't the first by any means, and it has another competitor hot on its heels.

Some more pioneering souls might forego the tamer Android for the Neo FreeRunner or the upcoming NeoPwn.
