Ask any Google Wave user and they will confirm that Wave is a very useful tool for working in collaboration on projects. It’s powerful, fast and has a host of superb features. So, why did Google announce yesterday that they were ceasing development of Google Wave?
The simple answer from Google, was that “we have not seen the level of adoption we would have liked.” In other words, it attracted very few regular users…
Jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad? Well, the good news is that it’s now legal; since last month’s US Copyright ruling. Better still, a new app claims to make it super easy to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad too.
So, a legal and easy way to reliably jailbreak your devices and free them from the bullshit DRM that has driven users nuts for years – right?
Err, no, not exactly!
Android users can relax again, in the knowledge that the Android OS is just as safe today as ever; despite yesterday’s incorrect reports of a malicious app that was on millions of Android users devices!
Yesterday, the blogosphere was full of stories about an Android wallpaper app, which was reportedly collecting sensitive user data and sending it off to a server in China. LookOut (the firm who reported this supposed security problem) has since issued a statement saying that in fact, the app was NOT showing any malicious behaviour…
I have been following the development of Windows Phone 7 for some time now, and noticed a very worrying development recently. It seems that even the most passionate supporters of the upcoming phone OS, are starting to prepare us for the worst! Windows Phone 7: Not the game-changer we were promised? Just a few weeks ago, the ...
Many Windows Vista users feel they were unpaid beta testers and that Microsoft has used their time and their error reporting with Vista, to help them produce Windows 7. I agree! In fact, many people have suggested that Windows 7 should have been rolled out as a Service pack for Vista.
Here’s why…
Wordpress users, who have not already upgraded to the latest version (2.8.4) are vulnerable to a serious, active security threat. Respected Wordpress blogger Lorelle, explains that there are two clues you should look for, to see if your Wordpress blog has already been attacked.
The marketplace has been asking for a single version of Windows for a long time. After all, this approach works fine for other operating systems.
However, even though people have been demanding a single OS since the first beta of Windows 7, it’s not going to happen. That’s right, instead of using the launch of Windows 7 as a chance to give their users what they want, Microsoft decided to create 6 different editions of the same OS, all differently priced too.
Firefox passes the billion download milestone. Since its release in 2004, over 1 billion people have now downloaded a version of the Firefox browser. Well, kind of.
That ‘billion’ figure also includes people who manually update to each news version rather than auto-update – but it’s still a very impressive figure.
Businesspeople are an unforgiving bunch! Just because Microsoft released Windows Vista before it was finished and with limited driver support for their office machines, the majority of corporates have stuck with Windows XP. Vista is on just 12% of business desktops!
