Bye Bye Google Wave
By Brian | November 24, 2011
I never really found much use for Wave and now it’s leaving…
Dear Wavers,
More than a year ago, we announced that Google Wave would no longer be developed as a separate product. At the time, we committed to maintaining the site at least through to the end of 2010. Today, we are sharing the specific dates for ending this maintenance period and shutting down Wave. As of January 31, 2012, all waves will be read-only, and the Wave service will be turned off on April 30, 2012. You will be able to continue exporting individual waves using the existing PDF export feature until the Google Wave service is turned off. We encourage you to export any important data before April 30, 2012.
If you would like to continue using Wave, there are a number of open source projects, including Apache Wave. There is also an open source project called Walkaround that includes an experimental feature that lets you import all your Waves from Google. This feature will also work until the Wave service is turned off on April 30, 2012.
For more details, please see our help center.
Yours sincerely,
The Wave Team

iPad baby baffled by paper magazine
By Brian | October 18, 2011
Video Youth is not wasted on the young. But apparently paper is, and so are static and archaic publishing models that don’t involve pinching and poking. This baby is so used to an iPad that old-fashioned dead-tree media is just baffling

Android apps now playable on Windows PCs
By Brian | October 11, 2011
The 117MB file creates a little widget on the desktop. When launched, it offers a list of available apps. As it stands there is no Android Market support, although Bluestacks has its own Apps Channel with a small selection of utilities and games. The company has also released an app called Cloud Connect. It can be downloaded from the Android Market and lets users send apps from their handsets to a PC, thus opening doors for any Android software to run on the Windows platform. How cool is that? Will try and test if I ever find time. Enjoy fellow readers.

FireFox 7 puts Memory on a Diet!
By Brian | September 28, 2011
Looks like the days of Firefox hogging up so much of my computer’s memory, (even if I am equipped with 8GB)
Love to hear they are plugging leaks and I can run Firefox for days before I have to restart it…Some days right now I have to restart 2 times a day.
And with a faster internet connection coming soon, this working online will become a much smoother and effiicent process.

Mozilla forces Firefox 7 on memory diet
Project MemShrink payback

Free whitepaper – 2011 Lippis Report
Firefox 7 has been released with a promise from Mozilla its browser is less of a memory hog.
The new version of Mozilla’s browser will consume up to 50 per cent less of your system’s memory than past editions with most users clawing back 20 and 30 per cent.
Firefox 7 apparently achieves this thanks to a project started in June called MemShrink.
The project’s goal has been to improve the architecture and code in Firefox by eliminating bugs behind memory leaks and putting in place practices to detect regressions.
With Firefox gobbling up substantially reduced amounts of memory, the idea is for Mozilla’s browser to become dramatically faster and less likely to crash if you have lots of web sites and tabs open or keep Firefox running for long periods of time between restarts.

Other features in Firefox 7 include the fact WebSockets are now enabled by default on mobile, for two-way communications with a remote host for HTTP, while the Canvas element for graphics has been updated for snappier performance.
