Google Chrome OS to Have Media Player to Challenge Microsoft

,----[ Quote ]
| The lead engineer for Google's Chrome 
| Operating System told Ars Technica the 
| emerging product and its Chrome Web browser 
| sidekick will have a complete media player 
| that approximates the functionality of 
| Windows Media Player. Chrome OS boots up a 
| netbook in a fraction of the time it takes to 
| start today's existing computers. With 
| Google's Chrome Web browser, Chrome OS loads 
| Web applications in just a few more seconds.

Latest AdMob Report Shows Android Drinking Microsoftâs Milkshake

,----[ Quote ]
| The latest AdMob metrics report is out today 
| and it's nothing we haven't seen yet.  To sum 
| it up quickly, Android continues to grow both 
| here in the US and abroad.   In the span of 
| one year Android traffic (in the AdMob 
| network) has grown from 1% overall to 16%  
| for North America and Western Europe.
| 
| [...]
| 
| This time last year year, Windows Mobile 
| accounted for 12% whereas now it sits at 3% 
| right next "other."  Ouch.

Google Nexus One gets multi-touch thanks to hacker

,----[ Quote ]
| Google has just dropped Android software 2.1 
| (which the Nexus runs on) into the open 
| source trough, making it rife for hacking and 
| modding. This is the first, and is described 
| as a simple job. Chris Paget of H4RDW4RE, 
| describes the tweak as "very much low-level 
| Linux kernel hacking as opposed to a full on 
| ROM.â

Processing for Android

,----[ Quote ]
| Pre-release downloads of Processing with
| built-in support for Android. Note that this
| code is incomplete and contains many bugs.
| It is not ready for widespread use. It
| should be considered "nightly build"
| quality. Do not use this code while
| operating heavy equipment. Do not rely on
| this code for thesis or diploma work, as you
| will not graduate. Do not use this code if
| you're prone to whining about incomplete
| software that you download for free.
