Firefox closer to supporting open source video codec Print Email Firefox 3.1 will likely include support for a new HTML tag specifically for embedding video in Web pages
Mozilla is edging closer to releasing a new version of Firefox that could increase the use of open source video software. Firefox 3.1, the next major release due by early next year, will likely include support for a new HTML tag specifically for embedding video in Web pages . Firefox 3.1 will also support royalty-free video codec Ogg Theora.
Firefox developers at a summit this week in Whistler, British Columbia, said they've started working on native Theora support, and test builds of the browser incorporating the new feature are available.
The code committed so far is a work in progress, wrote Chris Double, a Mozilla engineer who has been handling the project, "but it's a start towards using a common codec across all platforms and will improve as we get towards the 3.1 release."
When the upgrade is finalized, Firefox users won't have to download a plug-in to play Theora content. Another cited advantage is that Web developers can just use a <video> tag to mark content, rather than needing JavaScript to launch a video.
Video on the Web these days is a jumble of different software formats and products, with major ones including Apple's QuickTime, Microsoft's Windows Media, Adobe's Flash, and RealNetworks' RealPlayer multimedia players. The plug-ins are free. The companies make money by selling streaming servers and encoding software.
Some see that commercial interest as potentially harmful to the Internet, since content locked up in a particular format could become inaccessible due to a change in a vendor's product development plans.
Videos in formats such as .AVI can be converted to Theora using VLC, an open source streaming media server, video player, and converter from the VideoLAN Project. Another open source converter is ffmpeg2theora .
Firefox's work will streamline the delivery of video to users, wrote a user by the name of J5 on his blog .
"That to me is freedom -- to allow for those who prefer open formats the ability to deliver their content without any barriers between them and their end users," J5 wrote.
Opera Software, which makes a browser by the same name, has also implemented the video HTML tag. The company said last month that it has released versions of its latest browser that support Ogg Theora for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.

Twitter apps for iPhone Print Email Twitter is a fun service that lets you keep in touch with your friends and other people you only wish you knew. Like many people, I’ve come to rely on it as a backchannel that keeps me in touch with my colleagues and friends in ways that e-mail and instant messaging simply can’t. And since the iPhone was first released, I’ve used Web interfaces to Twitter to read and post Twitter items, known as “tweets,” when I’m on the go.
With the release of the App Store, there are now several native Twitter clients for the iPhone. All of these programs show immense promise as well as numerous warts.
Twitterrific
The Iconfactory's Twitterrific.
The Iconfactory’s Twitterrific is my favorite Mac client for the Twitter social-messaging service, and the new iPhone edition of Twitterrific is my favorite of the first generation of iPhone apps.
Twitterrific displays tweets from your contacts and lets you send tweets. The program includes integration with twitpic.com, so you can take a photo (or pick one from your photo library) and the program will automatically upload it and embed its URL in your tweet. An embedded Web browser lets you tap on user names or hyperlinks and view the contents without having to switch out of the program and into Safari.
The program’s interface is excellent, combining simplicity with solid functionality. A series of slide-out “hint” screens appear for new users, cleverly helping to teach you how the program works. But I found the program’s large single-tweet view to be mostly a waste of time.
Although Twitterrific provides me with 95 percent of what I use Twitter for, there’s still plenty of room for the iPhone version to grow, especially given the tough competition of several excellent iPhone-optimized Twitter web interfaces, most notably Hahlo . Twitterrific can’t display all the messages from a given friend; also, it doesn’t let you filter tweets to only see your direct messages, messages replying to your tweets, or a list of your own recent tweets. The program’s scrolling also feels sluggish. (A forthcoming update will improve the program’s scrolling speed.)

State of the LinuxWorld Print Email Linux is beginning to find its legs as the foundation in many different technologies and in the process is fueling a feedback loop that is helping accelerate the operating system's popularity.
As more and more people contribute from areas such as mobile, data center power management, and real-time technologies, innovations are coming rapid fire and when folded into the Linux kernel provide benefits across a wide spectrum.
For example, power management features for the data center are being tapped to help extend battery life in Linux-based mobile devices.
The evidence of the cooperation will be on display at next week's LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco.
(Disclosure; IDG, the parent company of both Network World and PC World, also operates LinuxWorld.)
The conference is expected to draw 10,000 attendees to nearly 100 sessions and 200 exhibitor booths. In addition, there is a mini-conference on Mobile Linux, the Linux Garage that will highlight the latest embedded-Linux gadgets, an install fest to benefit San Francisco-area schools, an open source voting demonstration and the annual Penguin Bowl that will pit teams dedicated to mobile Linux and server Linux.

Final Fantasy XIII Demo Coming in March in Japan Print Email Japanese game publisher Square Enix updated fans on several of its new titles at an event in Tokyo over the weekend. The roughly 1,500 fans who got to attend the closed-door "DKΣ3713" got a chance to see the latest trailers for a host of hot-games including three in the "Final Fantasy XIII " series and news of a playable demo for the game.
Among the biggest news from the event is that a playable demo of "Final Fantasy XIII" will be included in the Blu-ray Disc package for the "Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete" animation title. Square Enix will put the high-def version of the movie on sale in March next year packaged with the demo. The box will also include trailers for "Final Fantasy Versus XIII" and "Final Fantasy Agito XIII," making it a must-have for Final Fantasy fans.
This is likely the biggest piece of news for gamers outside of Japan as the country shares a Blu-ray Disc video region code with the U.S. and games are typically not region-locked. So, Ebay entrepreneurs start your engines -- this will be a hot item on the import market.
As for the game itself, "Final Fantasy XIII" is coming in 2009 in Japan, Square Enix said. As the event is Japan-focused it refrained from making any comment on other markets.
Square Enix made headlines at the recent E3 show in Los Angeles with news that "Final Fantasy XIII" will also be coming to the Xbox 360 platform. While any details concerning the Xbox 360 version of the game were not announced -- the console is in a trailing third place in Japan -- the company did seek to reassure fans that the game will be developed first-and-foremost for the PlayStation 3 platform so it will benefit from the console's full high-def gaming.
Only after the PlayStation 3 version is completed will the team work on the Xbox 360 version.

Linux examined: OpenSUSE 11.0 Print Email announced the release of OpenSUSE 11.0 , the "community" edition of SUSE Linux, Novell's commercial Linux distribution. Like most recent distributions, OpenSUSE is made up of the usual suspects, including GNOME and KDE -based desktops, Live CD and full DVD installation options, and an online repository of software that can be installed using a GUI tool. OpenSUSE started life as the offspring of SUSE Linux, a German company that based its distribution on Slackware , one of the oldest Linux distros. When Novell purchased SUSE in 2003 , it began a two-pronged development path: a licensed SUSE Linux version, which comes with at least some degree of support, and a free OpenSUSE version. The base SUSE Linux product is identical to OpenSUSE -- the only difference is the support and printed documentation.
Novell also offers multiple licensed versions of SUSE, including SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server . These versions add non-open-source software, developed by both Novell and third parties, to the mix.
The 11.0 release of OpenSUSE is largely made up of version refreshes. You'll get the latest editions of Compiz (the 3-D Linux screen manager), two versions of KDE (a 3.5 and 4.0 release) and GNOME 2.22. There are other under-the-cover improvements, including a new installer. In short, OpenSUSE 11.0 is a step-wise refinement of the OpenSUSE line, rather than anything revolutionary.

Hands on With Giga-byte's M912X Mini-laptop Print Email Taiwan's Giga-byte Technology showed off its new mini-laptop, or netbook, last month at the Computex electronics show in Taipei, and the company gave me a chance to try out their final, production version of the device.
The M912 mini-laptop really has some outstanding features not found on any other netbook currently, and at the price they're quoting for the Taiwan market, NT$19,900 (US$) makes it quite a bargain for the technology on board.
What separates the M912 from the rest of the pack is its 8.9-inch touchscreen that can swivel around 180 degrees. That device is going to ship with Windows XP or a Linux OS, and in future models, Giga-byte plans to use Windows Vista Home Basic.
The device I was able to try out used similar components as rival products, such as Asustek Computer's Eee PC , including a 1.6GHz Intel Atom microprocessor and 1G byte of DRAM.

Internet And Business Online – The Act Of Interdependence Print Email Internet And Business Online – The Act Of Interdependence
The best role of business online is that of interdependency. We’ve all heard the old saying, “No man is an island.” When it comes to online business this is especially true.
Shirley Temple once proclaimed in her movie Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, “I’m very self-reliant.” American westerns are filled with lines dealing with pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and holding down the fort. Many of us have grown up to believe if we want something done right we have to do it ourselves.

The Battle of the Browsers – The History and the Future of Internet Browsers Print Email The Battle of the Browsers – The History and the Future of Internet Browsers
With Internet Explorer 8 now available, can Microsoft hope to retain market dominance over fierce open source rivals such as Mozilla's Firefox or the feature packed Opera web browser. Can history give us a clue to what the future of web browsers/browsing might hold? How did Netscape Navigator go from having a dominant 89.36% market share of all web browsers in 1996 and yet only 3.76% by mid 1999?

HP targets mainframe users with fault-tolerant blade server Print Email Free NonStop BladeSystem offered to customers who retire mainframe apps.
HP on Monday is releasing the first blade server version of its NonStop computer, a highly fault-tolerant system designed to compete with IBM ’s mainframe.
HP is also trying to steal some thunder from IBM with an interesting proposition. For customers willing to junk a mainframe application, HP is offering its new Integrity NonStop NB50000c BladeSystem “at no charge [with] a full year of NonStop platform software.”
Illuminata analyst Jonathan Eunice dismissed the trade-in offer as “marketing bravado” and “juvenile.” But HP’s NonStop, based on Intel Itanium processors, can certainly compete with the IBM mainframe, Eunice says.
“It’s a strong product. I’m not going to read too much into fisticuffs with IBM,” Eunice says. “At the end of the day, there aren’t many system architectures that can do six, seven or eight ‘nines’ of reliability. If you’re serious about vast uptime and never, ever going down, as good as Unix has become … it doesn’t have the decades of experience with the kind of reliability that mainframes and NonStop do.”

Nvidia unveils new GeForce GTX 200 graphics processors Print Email
Graphics chip maker Nvidia on Monday introduced its new family of GeForce GTX 200 graphics processors. The new processors are featured in PC graphics cards that will be available later this month starting at $399.
Nvidia claims the GeForce GTX 200 processors provide up to 50 percent faster gaming performance over the GeForce 8800 Ultra GPU, which is even faster than the top-end Nvidia graphics card available as an add-on board for today’s Mac Pro systems. The GPUs also support Scalable Link Interface (SLI), a technology that enables more than one Nvidia card to work together in the same computer in parallel; PureVideo HD, video decoding and post-processing technology; and Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), which enables programmers to offload processor-intensive tasks to the Nvidia graphics chip and card.

AMD's latest FireStream processor hits 1 teraflop Print Email
AMD's latest FireStream processor hits 1 teraflop Latest version of AMD's FireStream 9250 high-performance chip package is due later this year.
Advanced Micro Devices previewed on Monday the latest version of its high-performance chip package, the FireStream 9250, which is due later this year.
Chips in the FireStream line offer much faster performance for mathematical calculations than other processors. FireStream can take a single instruction and execute it using multiple sources of data in parallel.
The processor, which AMD refers to as a "stream processor" or General-Purpose General-Processing Unit (GP GPU) is capable of up to hundreds of parallel calculations per clock cycle, whereas other more general-purpose processors can only do a handful, the company said.
The 9250 will be available by the end of September for $1,999. Last November, AMD released the FireStream 9170 , the first such chip in the line that is capable of up to 500 gigaflops of computing power. A gigaflop is 1 billion floating-point operations per second. For single-precision calculations, the 9250 tops 1 teraflop, or 1 trillion floating-point operations per second, AMD said.
