04 March 2010 – The BBC reports that Microsoft has developed its first application for Google’s Android platform. Called Tag, the free software uses a handset’s camera to turn it into a mobile barcode reader, enabling barcodes to effectively become coupons that link people to websites, pass on information or give visitors a discount in an online store.
Microsoft’s move may seem odd in light of the fact it has its own mobile platform that is struggling to compete with rivals. Indeed, last month the company announced the planned launch later this year of Windows Phone 7 Series, regarded by analysts as Microsoft’s last opportunity to remain a major player in the mobile operating system space. However, Microsoft has already made the Tag application available on the iPhone, BlackBerry and Symbian handsets, as well as, of course, on Windows phones. The BBC report notes that Microsoft’s Android launch is made against a background of greater co-operation among operators on phone software. Last month at least 24 of the world’s largest mobile operators announced an agreement to create an open international applications platform, regarded by many as a move by operators to wrest control of the lucrative apps market away from software firms and phone makers
Speed:
OS5.0 is FAST. Menus open and close with no noticeable delay and the device feels generally snappier. In fact, those that reviewed the Bold 2 9700 often attributed it to the newer device or the application memory but it appears it was entirely the new OS5 that comes preloaded with the new Bold. Upon loading it up in the older Bold 9000, the same snappiness was experienced. This is the single biggest improvement of OS5 and makes using the Blackberry a real pleasure.
Battery Life:
Battery life seems to have improved a bit. With 3G turned on and moderate use, surfing, streaming Youtube, lots of Blackberry Messages, Google Talk running in the background, couple of texts and a few short calls and 17 hours later, I just hit red at 6% battery. This used to run flat about 3-4 hours earlier with IM off! Do note that my battery is rather old and it may have lost some of its original charge holding ability but you can expect your phone to last the day without the need for a recharge with moderate use.

The holder of the news seems sensational, no doubt you are quite right, but not publish it if we did not know which is endorsed by the prestigious Mashable and supported by a job offer that Apple publishes jobs. apple.com.
The offer amounts to a position to seek cover in Cupertino for an expert and I quote the ad text “integrate the iPhone OS on new platforms.” And say Mayra G. K. (the oldest in the place know who I mean), “until I read here, now the rest of the world (Maquera, that is) we have to interpret these lines.

We’ve previously mentioned the browser wars and the Microsoft anti-trust browser case, and this week sees the initial limited roll-out of Microsoft’s “web browser choice screen” for European users. In a nutshell, the European Commission ruled that bundling Internet Explorer (IE) with the Windows operating system was a big no-no and forced Microsoft to give users the choice of which browser they wanted to use.
Accordingly, as of today, a ballot screen can be downloaded via Windows Update (or automatically downloaded if you have this set up in XP, Vista or Windows 7) which will ask users to choose between Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE and Opera as their default browser. Microsoft are calling the initial roll out a “test” of the choice screen, which will be followed by a full roll-out in early March.

In the SEO community there is a lot of focus on PageRank as an indicator of a domain’s value. Although it is probably one of the most important factors in a domain’s value in the eyes of Google, there are a few points that should be understood. The higher the PageRank, the more likely Google is to trust it. This holds true for both external and internal hyperlinks. Google PageRank has 11 values, between 1 and 10. Google gives each page on the internet a weight and when one page links to another it passes some weight onto the page it is linking to.
First of all, for anyone who doesn’t know what PageRank is – it is a value used by Google to determine how important a domain is based on analysis of link on the internet. Web pages that don’t have any PageRank are often referred to as having N/A PageRank. Also, pages that have a lot of low PageRank and PageRank N/A links pointing to them can have their PageRank lowered as a result.

‘Music’ they say is the food of love. There is probably no human soul on this planet who does not like music. Now, if it is classical music and that too by some renowned composer, there is nothing like it. So here we go – the ’easiest to use process’ to create your dream play list.

Google has updated the Mac version of the Chrome browser to version 5.0.307.7. Google Chrome Beta for Mac 5.0.307.7 comes with the following new features: extensions, bookmark sync, bookmark manager, cookie manager and task manager.
Windows users have been able to take advantage of Chrome extensions ever since the final, stable version of Chrome 4.0 was released late this January. Extensions, as Product Manager with Google, Nick Baum explained at the time, are “little programs, created by developers, which add useful functionality to the browser and to the websites you visit.” Extensions are to Chrome what add-ons are to Firefox – hope that clears things up for you.
