Google's ever active search bots, which scour the Web constantly for new pages, have begun a new, more active phase of their indexing jobs.
Google released an Internet Explorer plug-in on Tuesday designed to let Microsoft's browser use the features and performance of Google's own Chrome browser.
Google launched on Thursday a service that lets people create their own Web pages hosted by the Internet giant.
Google has announced a new centralised collaboration tool called Google Wave that mashes together emails, instant messaging and wiki style communication into one service that will be open sourced and run on its own protocols.
Security researchers have discovered a flaw affecting Google's Chrome browser which exposes it to clickjacking where an attacker hijacks a browser's functions by substituting a legitimate link with one of the attacker's choice.
The choice and use of the new video tag in HTML 5 is one of the more explosive sticking points in the evolving standard. Which codecs should browsers use? Why even have a video tag at all when Flash works well currently? Will anyone use it even if it becomes a standard?
Firefox is still king when it comes to daily work on the tubes, despite the steady increase in the buzz surrounding the open-source Webkit project, on which Safari and Google Chrome are based.
Turns out that the "developer preview" of Google's latest creation, Google Wave, is not as open as one would expect, with the preview only being open to attendees of Google's I/O conference but there is another way to see it in action. And forget wanting to use IE6 with it.
IE may be the quickest browser to load pages, but this is not a 100m dash; seems like someone has forgotten to tell Microsoft that there is another 300m of JavaScript to go until this race is over.
The Internet has long been an egomaniac's paradise, but there have been some major developments on the tech side for all matters narcissistic.
Google announced the open-sourcing of its Chrome OS early this morning, and the search giant was very clear in explaining its target market for Chrome OS devices: this is a companion device, not a primary desktop machine. But is a Chrome OS netbook intrinsically better than a lowly iPod?
We cast an eye over Google Wave's developer preview to see the world of wavelets, blips and robots.
It's the new kid in OS town and has been attracting attention from all quarters. Although far from complete, we decided to take an early build of Chrome OS for a spin.
Ignite Sydney kicked off its inaugural event last night, with the goal of ending the "death by PowerPoint" presentation style. Twelve presenters took to the stage to take on the unique Ignite format.
CeBIT Australia is on again for 2007 with hundreds of IT products and services on display in addition to the conference, keynotes and forums. Join us as we take a photo tour of the exhibition halls.
Windows 7 will be code-versioned as Windows 7.0, won't it? On this week's Club Builder we see that it isn't so, as well as get Steve Ballmer thoughts on Vista deployment; plus we see some new HTML5 tricks.
At the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, Google VP of Engineering Vic Gundrota showed off the prototype of a new Web-based Gmail app that could one day be used on any smartphone. By using HTML 5 standards, he predicts, developers will no longer have to choose just one platform to write for. When the app is released, users will be able to archive and use their e-mail even when not online. Moderator: Tim O'Reilly, founder and CEO, O'Reilly Media
Developers make good stress testers, and the initial Wave service has had a lot of testing in the last few months. We take a ride on the wave, which should be opening to a wider beta program at the end of September.
Google Docs is a fantastic free online application that offers some exciting features. However, by virtue of being an online application, users with a slow connection will experience lag, and Docs still doesn't contain enough functionality to be a replacement for today's mainstay office suites in most businesses.
If you're wary of Google knowing everything about your business and your web site, then Google Analytics is not for you. But for most, it's a useful ally in a challenging business climate.
The online Google Spreadsheets is free, easy to use, and handy for collaboration, but stick with Excel for complex spreadsheets.
Aimed at small to medium-size enterprises (SMEs) that need a search engine without the hassles, the Google Mini is capable and flexible. We just wish the upgrade path was more affordable.
