The NASA and Google aim to provide some new tools for measuring levels of CO2 and deforestation based on satellite technology.

NASA already had a scientific satellite , called the Orbital Carbon Observatory (OCO), which could be capable of detecting emissions of CO2. But its launch turned into a disaster,the satellite ended its race in the icy waters of Antarctica.

If it gathers the necessary funding, NASA could build a similar satellite at a cost of 330 million dollars and make it in orbit for three years. The commissioning of the satellite would “maybe” lead countries to act differently.

For its part, Google has announced that the forest countries will have a free access to its “Earth Engine”, a new software storing satellite data

Deforestation is considered a the first cause of climate change. While industrialized countries are going to pay billions of dollars to developing countries to stop the destruction of tropical forests, the Google system would allow anyone to check the condition in which they are.

But technology alone can not solve the problem. Cooperation between countries like the United States and China, the two biggest polluters, is needed to verify the reduction of emissions.

China is building so many coal plants that it is difficult for experts to have a precise knowledge of their production of carbon dioxide. The launch of a new NASA satellite that can detect emissions of CO2 could be very useful in this case.

As long as such a satellite is not in use, the assessment of carbon emissions will involve many uncertainties, in calculus , appliances and a good dose of confidence between different actors.

shortened URLs are in fashion since people started exchanging Internet links on social networks. And all the Web users are starting to use it and abuse a little bit from using it . So much that Google and Facebook are both announcing the launch of services using shortened URLs.

For Google, it is the launch of the domain name “goo.gl. An address which is currently reserved for the sharing feature of Google Toolbar in IE and Firefox, but the Google could extend to other services. Google says that it is not possible to directly use its URL compressing system to reduce links but also affirms that if the service appears to be useful, Google may make it available to a wider audience.

Facebook follows the model that Flickr has recently proposed shortened URL such as www.flic.kr/xxx ” to point to a picture. Facebook is also launching the domain name “fb.me” through which can be compressed a URL pointing a photo hosted on the social network. This website is also used to shorten the URL to a member profile like fb.me/membername.

Google also introduced the site GoLang.org to promote its new tool for developers. The site also offers all the documentation about the language as well as tutorials and samples of codes.

The FAQ is also detailing what led to the conception of Go:

No major system language has emerged over the last ten years while during that time the computing landscape has changed tremendously.
Here are some trends:

* Computers are much faster than before, but software development is not that much faster .

* The dependency management plays a large part of the software development today, but the “header files ” of the languages in the C tradition are antithetical to clean a dependency analysis and a faster compilation.

* There is a growing rebellion against the heavy-type systems like Java and C + +, pushing people towards dynamic languages such as Python and JavaScript.

* Some basic concepts such as (garbage collector) and parallel computing are not well supported by the popular language system.

* The emergence of multi-machine processor created much anxiety and confusion.

* It is possible to compile impressive programs in GO in a few seconds with a simple computer

* Go provides a model for building software that makes the dependency analysis a very easy thing and avoids loading a large part of the include files of type C and libraries.

* Types in GO have no hierarchy, so you do not need to waste time defining the relationships between types. Although if Go has static types , the language is trying to make Types lighter than in conventional object-oriented languages.

* Go completely manages the garbage collector and provides a fundamental support for concurrent execution and communication.

* Due to its design, Go proposes an approach of software systems developing on multi-processor machines.

An additional page is dedicated to C + + developers to list the conceptual differences between the two languages. It is about class (there are none in GO), pointers and hash tables.

The GO language, is still not internally used by Google. However, if this newcomer in the vast family of programming languages interested you , you can always apply at Google. Once again, the company relies on the millions of anonymous hands around the world to complete this open-source language by libraries that will increase its popularity.

Note that the Mountain View firm already employs Guido Van Rossum, the inventor of Python, and other big names in software development such as Ken Thompson who created the B language (the ancestor of C, C + +, … ) and Rob Pike who designed UTF-8,whose next ?? me maybe :p

So Why should you opt for Google chrome OS?

*This is a new generation of OS assuming that most of our computing activities will be done online.

*It has as main function to properly operate browsers (Chrome, Firefox …) where users will spend most of their time.

*It also manages all the infrastructure components of the workstation, such as memory, processor and peripherals. Google has also recently announced a new tool called NaCl, another Open Source tool , which aims to optimize the execution of AJAX programs on workstations.

*It is an open source software, like all the modern OS (Ubuntu , Android, Moblin, l imo , Symbian) .

*it has been created by a very popular and trusted team of developers who specialize in making internet more informative, user friendly and of course a lot more of fun.

*It is been said by the company that this OS will have an open source code, meaning it can be manipulated to ones requirements.

*This OS will be Linux-based, meaning it will have the security and multi-user characteristics of Linux.

*A lot of companies joined in this new project as partners in its development and marketing in the later stages, such as HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer … .

*This is not Android, as Android is for a wide range of devices, ranging from notebooks to mobile phones . Chrome OS is exclusively dedicated to internet and netbooks.

*Key feature in this OS is that the the booting time and starting of the browser is avoided, giving instant access to the mails and the World Wide Web.

Is chrome a serious competitor?

*Sure it’s a serious competitor, as this gives an innovative, dedicated and an open source code compared to others who are unceasingly trying to hide their code and keep it secret .
*Google is inviting supports from the open source community. This would give them an added advantage of popularity and fame at a quicker pace.

Shaken by Blackberry, Google and more particular by Apple on the segment of smartphones, Microsoft has decided to regain the lost ground by unveiling not only “Windows Phone”, a new collection of smartphones, but also by opening Windows Mobile Marketplace , its new Download platform to compete with Apple’s AppStore.

Although if rumors have mentioned a Microsoft phone ,Windows Phones are those provided by its traditional partners: Acer (NewTouch and beTouchE200), Samsung (Omnia Pro B7610, Pro B7330 Omnia, Omnia Lite, Omnia II), HTC (Touch II Touch Diamond II and Touch HD II), GM750 LG, Toshiba or TG01 Sony Ericsson (Xperia X2). ” which means that Microsoft is proposing a total of 30 smart phones in over than 20 countries before the end of 2009 , and offers a wide variety of phone forms (touchscreen or not, keyboards, ..) to its users.

In terms of software, Windows Phones are obviously based on the operating system Windows Mobile 6.5, which has been enhanced with the well known Microsoft business applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint in Officemobile, Outlook Mobile compatible with Exchange Server and Hotmail) and also general public software as Windows Live (social network) or MyPhone (sync on the web).

Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft also affirmed that people now want to communicate quickly with their families but also have immediate access to information. Windows phones offer to their users a remarkable experience whether at work or at home

in addition to the applications, the Windows Phones stand out from their predecessors by simplifying application downloads from the new Windows Mobile Marketplace. “Microsoft is currently working with 731 developers worldwide who will offer more than 200 applications on Windows startup Mobile Marketplace.” But compared to the 75 000 applications of apple store, Microsoft has a lot of work to do .

After the uncertain success of Google Phones, Microsoft certainly intends to impose its smart phones and download platform as the first alternative to Apple’s iPhone. An ambition also shared by Nokia, RIM / Blackberry and Palm the former leader in mobile technology that was dethroned by Microsoft in the early 2000s. The question is whether history will repeat itself again.

And thus, The speed of execution remains the primary concern of Google: by redesigning the V8 JavaScript engine in Google Chrome, the U.S. company says that this new version is 25% faster than the previous version … and 150% faster than the first beta versions.
Like Firefox, Google has also introduced the customization of the browser with the themes . If for now the gallery received only thirty themes, no doubt that the choice will quickly grow. From the technical side, if the software is not yet compatible with Mac OS or Linux Nevertheless chrome supports HTML5 with tags like , and . These tags let get rid of Flash by integrating the audio or video content directly on the web page.

Opening a new tab has also been redesigned. Now the new page will show thumbnails of the most visited websites and recently closed tabs. The user can now browse at leisure with his mouse through the list of thumbnails and have access to several features: close a tab or order the list of thumbnails for example, but I won’t add anything else and instead , invite you all to download it and try it .
Also i invite you all to watch this video , which compares Google chrome 3.0 to one of its direct competitors , opera 10

If i ask you the question what’s google main product ? you will automatically answer me , its search engine, guess what , maybe you are wrong .
And if Google voice was the most important application that Google came up with since its search engine? Based on the technology of GrandCentral, a startup acquired two years ago, GVoice has started to land gradually in the United States (no schedule for the rest of the world till now).
The application is based on two central services. First , you have the Google phone number only, which can redirect a call to any terminal of your choice (mobile, home, job etc.. Up to six).
On the other hand, this number will allow you to call abroad for very cheap prices. Including using your cell phone.

The Internet giant is looking to move closer to the field of telephony by launching an update to its Google Video and Voice. This extension of Gmail e-mail will be now able to put in writing the voice of a voice mail and receive them by e-mail ( freaking isn’t it )
With this system, intended for the moment only to U.S. users, it will be possible to archive voice messages and even transfer them .

After a first period of 5 years, the share of sales made from the Yahoo! sites and That Microsoft must pay may be increased. Initially set at 88% of revenues, it will reach 90% after 5 years and until the end of the agreement.
A guaranteed annual amount of $ 50 million for Yahoo!
Two exceptions have been established. If Microsoft exercises its right to take the exclusive right to sell ads on its own sites then the percentage of sales to pay Yahoo! Grows to 93%.
If, on the other hand Yahoo! does not want to give the exclusivity on the sale of advertising on Microsoft sites, then the repayment falls down to 83%.

Microsoft has also engaged itself to pay $ 50 million annually for 3 years to Yahoo! to cover the costs of this transition. 400 employees of Yahoo! Will enforce the team of the Redmond Company.
Yahoo! has spared several exit doors so it could be able to stop its agreement with Microsoft any time.

According to documents submitted to the SEC, if the average revenue per search fell under a certain percentage compared to that of Google, Yahoo! could withdraw.

Averse to the idea of devaluing its products and to lower its margins, Sony entered the netBook market not through the back door, but by making a hole in the wall : with the Vaio P, the Japanese brand had unveiled a product out of the ordinary , but too expensive and not very usable due to a too heavy Windows Vista.

Today, Sony converts itself to nonetheless the classic NETBOOK style by introducing the Vaio W. a classic NETBOOK if you look at its datasheet Atom N280, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard -- but the fault lies to Microsoft, which grants XP licenses only if manufacturers curb their machines.

What then is the advantages of buying such a device, you may ask? Apart from the finish, which should, hopefully, at least match that of the Toshiba NB200, Sony offers one of the first 10.1 inches netBook with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels (WXGA). The 1 024 x 600 pixels used by 99% of its competitors display rarely an entire programs or web pages.

With such a resolution ,not just word processing software should be more pleasant to use, but should be better able to enjoy videos. but the main negative point is the integrated chip, a single Intel, should find its limits in playing HD videos on YouTube or DailyMotion.
Another unknown thing is the battery life, become an argument of netBooks Sony is a major producer of energy cells, it is hoped that the Japanese brand has the intelligence to properly equip its Vaio W.
We will for sure hear a lot about This netbook soon , but till then I invite you all to watch the following video
