Google Knol Launches

Google went live with Knol, a platform to read and write articles on all kinds of subjects. Knol was being tested privately since some time and had been pre-announced
back in 2007. The address is knol.google.com, but notably not knol.com
or knol.org or even googleknol.com. This project is somewhat
reminiscent of Wikipedia, though there are many differences as well.
You may also think of this as an alternative to creating a small info
website if your aim is to cover only a single subject.

Mint Low Interest Online Credit Card

Mint Low Interest Online Credit Card

24092007

Mint low interest online credit cardOnline
banking and e-commerce is undoubtedly the mainstream choice for most
people in the developed countries like the USA and UK. But what new
generation looks for while going for a credit card is the ability to
manage their account over the cellphone and internet (online),
responsive and quick customer support, increased security against
online fraud, low interest rates and a host of other interesting
features. Today, I just came across a credit card which satisfies the
above and looks like promising deal to those who transact online often
and are used to manage their accounts online - it’s the Mint Credit
card.

PowerBuilder hitches wagon to .NET

The recent release of Sybase's PowerBuilder rapid application development tool allows users of the toolkit to deploy applications on the .NET architecture. Will it be enough to regain their footing in the enterprise tool space, against the behemoths of Visual Studio and Eclipse?

Potential targets for deployment now include both native windows applications through Winforms, and Web applications through .NET Webforms.

In the view of PowerBuilder's developers, the Windows32 deployment environment is dying. "We want to provide an overlap period", John Strano, Sybase technology evangelist told Builder AU in Sydney today. The ambition is to provide a means of developing and deploying existing applications to platforms past, present and future without a rewrite.

Sybase are concious that they're not in the position where they can avoid providing a clear migration path for their users towards the new world of Web deployment, service oriented architecture and rich applications.

Citing VB 6 as an example, Strano said "Microsoft may be able to say 'rewrite it in C#', but if we tell our customers that, they will start looking towards competitors."

PowerBuilder is heavily focused towards the Windows platform, currently supporting only native windows applications and now Web applications accessed through Internet Explorer (but not Firefox, or anything on Mac or Linux).

Mobile Ubuntu Linux released

Canonical on Tuesday released its first publicly available developer edition of Ubuntu for mobile internet devices.

Ubuntu MID works on two devices at present, the Samsung Q1U and the
Intel Crown Beach development station for building devices using the
company's Atom processor. It also can be run on ordinary computers
through the KVM virtualisation software. A MID — a concept Intel is
aggressively promoting — is a mobile device larger and more like a
regular computer than, say an Apple iPhone, but smaller than an
ultraportable PC.

"This release marks the start of a way for new users to experience
Ubuntu and Open Source software and as the hardware becomes commonplace
it will become a very exciting place to get users experiencing
applications from our communities," said David Mandala, project manager
of the Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded Group, in a blog posting.

Canonical will release new versions of the software on the same
six-month cycle as it uses for the desktop version of the open-source
operating system, the company said.

Gates looks back on 30 years at Microsoft

If you were to ask Bill Gates what life will be like when he stops working full time at Microsoft, he'd have to get back to you.

That's because, so close to the transition, he still hasn't slowed
down his pace. If anything, things have picked up as he tries to have
one last meeting with all the leaders and projects that are important
to him.

Gates, who dropped out of school more than 30 years ago to run
Microsoft, steps down from full-time work on 27 June. He'll remain
chairman and a part-time Microsoft employee.

The Microsoft co-founder did take some time out of his schedule
recently to sit down and offer some reflections on the early days of
the PC market, as well as thoughts on where Microsoft is now and what
technologies he will need in his new role, working full time for the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

In the interview, Gates shared some little-known stories from the
company's early days, including the fact that Microsoft seriously
entertained combining with Lotus but talks ended when that company's
chief executive pulled out. Gates also noted that Microsoft was invited
and then uninvited to the launch event for the first IBM PC.

HTML 5: A change in course... straight for the iceberg

The W3C recently released a working draft specification for HTML 5. In its current iteration, this is the worst specification I have ever read.

In comparison to HTML 5, I take back everything that I said about SMTP -- at least SMTP knows its role and sticks to it. HTML 5 is a 15-year leap backwards;
it's also a transparent attempt to pander to the current tool vendors,
in a format that is so incredibly "right here and now" that it is not a
durable standard to carry us through to the future.

Scientists train computer to read people's thoughts

A computer has been trained to "read" people's minds by

looking at scans of their brains as they thought about

specific words, researchers said today.

They hope their study, published in the journal Science, might lead to better understanding of how and where the brain stores information.

This might lead to better treatments for language disorders and learning disabilities, said Tom Mitchell of the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, who

helped lead the study.

"The question we are trying to get at is one people have been
thinking about for centuries, which is: How does the brain organise
knowledge?" Mitchell said in a telephone interview.

"It is only in the last 10 or 15 years that we have this way that we can study this question."

Mitchell's team used functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a type of brain scan that can see real-time brain activity.

They calibrated the computer by having nine student volunteers think of 58 different words, while imaging their brain activity.

"We gave instructions to people where we would tell them, 'We are
going to show you words and we would like you, when you see this word,
to think about its properties,'" Mitchell said.

They imaged each of the nine people thinking about the 58 different words, to create a kind of "average" image of a word.
