list of ODBC system DSNs is truncated in Windows XP

"A list of ODBC system DSNs is truncated when the total number of characters that are used in all the DSN names is more than 7,500 on a Windows XP-based computer"

This problem occurs because the buffer that stores DSN names is limited. This limited buffer prevents all the DSNs from being displayed.

Does .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 installation fails on your computer ?

"The .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 installation fails on a computer that has the .NET Framework 2.0 installed and that is running Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000"
When you try to install the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on a computer that has the .NET Framework 2.0 installed and that is running Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000, the .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 installation fails.

This problem occurs because Windows Installer must load the cached installation database and all updates when Windows Installer performs any maintenance installations, such as uninstallations. If packages for those updates do not exist in the Windows Installer cache, Windows Installer tries to find the updates from earlier source directories.
The .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 is a major upgrade that uninstalls the earlier version of the .NET Framework 2.0. If Windows Installer cannot find the packages for the earlier installed updates during the uninstall operation, the installation fails with an error message.
If an incomplete rollback occurs, this failure to install may also cause applications that use the .NET Framework to fail.

This problem may occur for one of the following two reasons.
- The Windows Installer cache is missing necessary files
- The hotfix registration or the update registration is corrupted

To fix this problem follow below Hotfix:

Know Web Traffic Data using Wikipedia

"Traffic for particular page is directly proportional to the popularity of that term on the Internet"
Wikipedia site is shown almost in the front page of the google search for almost every word searched by people.eg blogs,news,history,technology,internet etc.
Wikipedia almost has more than 2 million pages which gets massive organic traffic from google,yahoo,Msn and from other search engines.But does anyone know that how many page views or hits does wikipedia gets exactly ?
Henrik,an administrator for wikipedia has created a tool at stats.grok.se which shows how many times a particular page has been viewed on wikipedia.You can say its similar to Google analytics but this one is for public access as well.
This is real Gold mine for those creating content as the traffic for particular page is directly proportional to the popularity of that term on the Internet.
For example, Have you been searching for Jesus? On Google, Wikipedia ranks first for that search. How much is that first place ranking worth? According to Wikipedia's public traffic stats, about 14k page views on a typical day, and 19.3k on Christmas. The redirect Jesus Christ, which points to the same page, gets about 25% as much traffic, and Christ adds another 10%.
"So when are you going to create your article on wikipedia ?"

Top Websites of year 2008

"Top 6 websites of the year 2008 are Facebook, Firefox, Google, iTunes, MySpace, and YouTube"
Finally Webware has announced its 100 winners for year 2008.Top 100 websites,in which 10 websites were selected for 10 different categories,according to the Webware users.
Fans of webware will be able to find all the winners at one stop point, or you can also get list of all the winners in the webware site navigator giving details abut winner by winner.There were Over 1.9 million votes casted for the 300 finalists for this year 2008. These finalists were selected (by Webware editors) from a pool of over 5000 qualifying nominees. But the 100 winners were selected by popular vote. These winning 100 products represent the best of the Web, according the people who use it.
Voting overview
As with the 2007 awards, the majority of votes, 88% this year, were cast for winning products. Of the ten categories, the most popular in terms of votes cast was Browsing. However it's worth noting that one of the entries in that category, Maxthon, drove an inordinate amount of votes by putting a vote-driving popup in the software itself. Even after we had the popup removed, though, Maxthon easily garnered a winning number of votes.
If you subtract the initial Maxthon Effect votes from Browsing, by far the most voted-in category was Social, just like last year. And again, Gaia Online got the most votes in the category. However, competition in this space is heating up. Gaia's 136,000 votes, while well ahead of the 91,000 it won last year, represented only 34% of the votes cast in the Social category, compared to 60% last year.
Just slightly more than half of all the votes cast in the Webware 100 went to the top 10 vote-getter's. Six of these top 10 are no surprise at all: Facebook, Firefox, Google, iTunes, MySpace, and YouTube. But the other four may not be as familiar to most Webware readers:

Cell phones for seniors

Given that cell phones exploded in popularity only in the last decade, quite a few people have lived well into their adult lives without ever owning one. Since learning to use a new technology can be challenging for anyone, a few companies have introduced cell phones designed specifically for senior citizens. Instead of being packed with unnecessary multimedia features, these senior-friendly models are all about communication. More importantly, they're designed to be as easy to use as possible. Large displays and keypads are typical and menu interfaces tend to be simple and straightforward. Here are a few cell phones that are designed for senior users.
The new ClarityLife phone is an unlocked GSM handset. It offers a bright display, a slider design, and good call quality. It also offers a few more features than you might need.
Verizon Wireless offers the recently released Verizon Wireless Coupe. It's a bit smaller than comparable mobiles, but like all senior-friendly phones, it has dedicated emergency keys.
One company has stepped forward to offer cell phones specifically designed for seniors. GreatCall, a CDMA MVNO, offers two handsets aimed at seniors: the Samsung Jitterbug Dial (A120) and the Samsung Jitterbug OneTouch (A110). The former has a large and bright keypad while the latter is designed mostly for emergencies. It has only three buttons, which connect respectively to an operator, emergency services, and a programmable contact.

AT&T: Internet to hit full capacity by 2010

U.S. telecommunications giant AT&T has claimed that, without investment, the Internet's current network architecture will reach the limits of its capacity by 2010.
Speaking at a Westminster eForum on Web 2.0 this week in London, Jim Cicconi, vice president of legislative affairs for AT&T, warned that the current systems that constitute the Internet will not be able to cope with the increasing amounts of video and user-generated content being uploaded.
"The surge in online content is at the center of the most dramatic changes affecting the Internet today," he said. "In three years' time, 20 typical households will generate more traffic than the entire Internet today."
Cicconi, who was speaking at the event as part of a wider series of meetings with U.K. government officials, said that at least $55 billion worth of investment was needed in new infrastructure in the next three years in the U.S. alone, with the figure rising to $130 billion to improve the network worldwide. "We are going to be butting up against the physical capacity of the Internet by 2010," he said.
He claimed that the "unprecedented new wave of broadband traffic" would increase 50-fold by 2015 and that AT&T is investing $19 billion to maintain its network and upgrade its backbone network.
Cicconi added that more demand for high-definition video will put an increasing strain on the Internet infrastructure. "Eight hours of video is loaded onto YouTube every minute. Everything will become HD very soon, and HD is 7 to 10 times more bandwidth-hungry than typical video today. Video will be 80 percent of all traffic by 2010, up from 30 percent today," he said.
The AT&T executive pointed out that the Internet exists, thanks to the infrastructure provided by a group of mostly private companies. "There is nothing magic or ethereal about the Internet--it is no more ethereal than the highway system. It is not created by an act of God, but upgraded and maintained by private investors," he said.
Although Cicconi's speech did not explicitly refer to the term "Net neutrality," some audience members tackled him on the issue in a question-and-answer session, asking whether the subtext of his speech was really around prioritizing some kinds of traffic. Cicconi responded by saying he believed government intervention in the Internet was fundamentally wrong.
"I think people agree why the Internet is successful. My personal view is that government has widely chosen to...keep a light touch and let innovators develop it," he said. "The reason I resist using the term 'Net neutrality' is that I don't think government intervention is the right way to do this kind of thing. I don't think government can anticipate these kinds of technical problems. Right now, I think Net neutrality is a solution in search of a problem."
Net neutrality refers to an ongoing campaign calling for governments to legislate to prevent Internet service providers from charging content providers for prioritization of their traffic. The debate is more heated in the United States than in the United Kingdom because there is less competition between ISPs in the States.
Content creators argue that Net neutrality should be legislated in order to protect consumers and keep all Internet traffic equal. Network operators and service providers argue that the Internet is already unequal, and certain types of traffic--VoIP, for example--require prioritization by default.
"However well-intentioned, regulatory restraints can inefficiently skew investment, delay innovation, and diminish consumer welfare, and there is reason to believe that the kinds of broad marketplace restrictions proposed in the name of 'neutrality' would do just that, with respect to the Internet," the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement last year.
The BBC has come under fire from service providers such as Tiscali, which claim that its iPlayer online-TV service is becoming a major drain on network bandwidth.
In a recent posting on his BBC blog, Ashley Highfield, the corporation's director of future media and technology, defended the iPlayer: "I would not suggest that ISPs start to try and charge content providers. They are already charging their customers for broadband to receive any content they want."

When USB security hangs by a thread

Not everyone has a USB flash drive outfitted with locks or alarms, but there may be a better deterrant anyway: deception. The aptly named Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories has devised a diabolical way to create a USB key that looks like a hastily severed cable. All that's needed is some epoxy glue, an old cord, and "almost zero technical know-how," according to Uber-Review. A step-by-step guide can be found here.) If that doesn't work, please proceed to the next level of deception.

Bus-powered external laptop hard drive of 500GB

"A lookworthy 500GB, bus-powered external laptop hard drive is a great drive for travelers"
Not long ago, laptop hard drives hit 500GB, which was, in my opinion, not a big deal. Nonstop leaps in hard-drive storage capacity over recent years have made me, and most of us for that matter, sort of desensitized, if not snobbish. Something of highest-number gigabytes has just come out and yet it already feels like "been there, done that. So what? There's going to be something bigger, soon!"
However, I'm intrigued by the Mercury On-The-Go portable hard drive that OWC announced Tuesday. This is not because it uses the all-new 500GB laptop hard drive, but rather because of its flexibility, portability, compatibility, and a nice design. The combination of things makes this drive cool.
The Mercury supports USB 2.0, Firewire 400, and Firewire 800 and, most importantly, it is fully Firewire bus-powered. This means no extra power adapter to carry along if you use it with a Firewire port.
If you use a USB port, there are instances that you might need the included separate power adapter. The drive is about the size of the hard drive itself and weighs about the same. Although OWC is a vendor that focuses primarily on Macs, the Mercury On-The-Go works with PCs too. It comes with a full retail version of Prosoft DataBackup III for OS X and NovaStor NovaBackup for Windows. It works with Mac OS X Leopard's Time Machine too.
Generally, this looks like a great drive for travelers, especially if you are a Mac user. You can purchase it right now for $360 at OWC.

Asus introduce:Nine-inch Asus Eee PC 900

"New Asus is now Officially called the Asus Eee PC 900"
We've been spilling a lot of virtual ink about the popular 7-inch Asus Eee PC lately, but the real buzz is about that system's follow-up, a slightly bigger 9-inch version Asus has been teasing us with since last year.
It's now officially called the Asus Eee PC 900, and the first reviews are starting to trickle out in the U.K., where the system has a set release date of May 1, although we don't have an official U.S. price or release date yet.
According to Asus, the new system adds more than just a larger display. The most interesting new feature is something called FingerGlide, essentially a version of the mouse gestures used in Apple's MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, where you can use two fingers in a pinching movement to zoom in and out of images.
Like the current 7-inch Eee PC, the new model will come in both Windows and Linux versions, but the hardware is a little different depending on which operating system you choose. The Windows version has a 12GB flash-based hard drive, while the Linux version has 20GB--we suspect the difference is so Asus can offer both versions for the same price while offsetting the cost of a Windows XP license.
The new 8.9-inch display has a native resolution of 1,024x600, which is a big improvement over the original's 800x480 screen. The CPU is still the same 900MHz Intel (non-Atom), but the RAM has been bumped up to a more reasonable 1GB, from the original's 512MB.
The 7-inch Eee PC sold more than one million units in its first five months, so expectations are high for the new version, especially with Dell and HP offering new competition in the suddenly hot netbook market. We expect the Eee PC 900 stateside sometime in May for about $500.

Vista running older software applications ?

"Windows Vista uses Compatibility Mode that tells which software application is an older version"
One concern for Windows XP users is if their favorite software applications will run once they upgrade to Vista.
Luckily, Windows Vista uses a feature called Compatibility Mode which tells the software application that Vista is actually an older OS, specifically Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, or XP.
Here's how it works:
If your software application won't install, open or work properly, right click on the application's .exe file. Select Properties and then click the Compatibility tab. From there, pick the previous Windows operating system you were on (most likely Windows XP). If you're a system operator, you can set this up as an administrator to make it easier for your staff.

Want traffic for web? Get Dugg

"Being one link among many in any publication is not a big traffic driver"
The difference in traffic is striking. Digg delivered three times the amount of traffic as Slashdot did. Granted, your stories will hit Slashdot in an off-peak time, but you might have thought: Is Digg the future of web traffic? The tyranny of the mob, as Slashdot's Rob Malda once called it?
If so, then evryone is concerned. but you will also like the editorial function that Slashdot provides. nobody has a clue how something becomes popular on Digg, But you know how to get something Slashdotted: Deliver something that Rob Malda finds interesting.
Certain kinds of stories are more likely to be Dugg: anti-Microsoft screeds, pro-Linux (and especially Ubuntu) and Apple posts (See below). To get Slashdotted, an article needs to chart new territory, even if in these old paths. That's because Rob knows what is new and interesting, and what isn't. Digg doesn't. It's just a crowd (Read: Lowest-common denominator).
Again, I'm not complaining about the traffic. I would simply like to have the crowdsourcing power of Digg with the editorial oversight of Slashdot. Impossible?
Last week I had two stories Dugg and two stories Slashdotted. The difference in traffic is striking. Digg delivered three times the amount of traffic as Slashdot did.

If so, I'm concerned. I like the traffic Digg gives me, but I also like the editorial function that Slashdot provides.

Google Apps: Too cheap to ignore?

"Google has the problem of putting finish on a lot of its products", leaving things in eternal beta, but the price point for Google Apps is forcing even the biggest of companies to seriously consider Google instead of a Microsoft Office 2007 upgrade. (Google Apps: It's not just small customers anymore.)
We may be getting to the point where Google's "cloud" allows them to provision users so much cheaper than any given enterprise can that it will become the provider of choice.
In the case of one large company, it suggested that it costs them $200/user/year to provision their users with the kind of functionality that Google can provide for $50/user/year. They just can't "compete" with that.
So they're considering Google Apps. Tie goes to the company with the most scale? And isn't it odd that Microsoft is no longer necessarily the vendor providing that scale?

Every year "Global Warming" kills 150000

"Rising temperature kills more"
Rising temperatures on the planet are killing off the equivalent of a mid-sized city every year.
The World Heath Organization attributes about 150,000 global deaths a year, according to the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank, in a report released today. Malnutrition due to crop shortages is having an impact, but so is the spread of infectious diseases like malaria. Mosquitoes carrying malaria have now been found in traditionally cooler climates like South Korea. Increases in asthma can additionally be linked to warming.
Summer heat waves are also taking their toll and expect to see refugees increase in low-coastal nations like Bangladesh. In the 1990s, 600,000 people died from weather-related causes.

Is Wind Power better than Natural gas ?

"Wind power is worth it" according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas.
ERCOT studied the costs and benefits of wind power in three scenarios and concluded that expanding wind power in Texas would outweigh the total costs of boosting the state's electrical grid with conventional technologies. (Renewable Energy Access has a more detailed story here.)
The organization estimated the costs of putting in 5.1 gigawatts (GW), 11.6GW, and 18GW of new wind energy as well as the required grid connections. The 5.1GW plan would bring with it a $3.8 billion premium, but save $1.2 billion in fossil fuel costs a year. The 11.6GW plan would cost $4.9 billion, but save $1.7 billion in fuel costs annually. (Estimated fuel cost savings were not included for the 18GW scenario, but will be included in a future study.) Either way, both programs would pay off in about three years. Wind turbines last for decades; thus, new turbines would save billions over time as well as cut down on greenhouse gas emissions.
If you assume 2 kilowatts a house, 5.1GW is enough for 2.6 million homes.
Wind, according to many, is the cheapest form of renewable energy and in many places it is quite plentiful. Ireland could nearly supply all of its power through wind and some companies are developing technology to store wind power so that these plants could provide power on calm days.

Duke Energy CEO: Coal not going away

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--The chief executive of Duke Energy, James Rogers, is an unlikely advocate for policies to restrict greenhouse gas emissions. But the man who is building two new coal power plants is just that.
Rogers delivered a keynote speech at the MIT Energy Conference here on Saturday where he called for policies and technologies to bridge the fossil fuel-based energy industry of today with low-carbon alternatives.
Rogers heads a company that generates 90 percent of its electricity from burning coal or nuclear power to serve its 4 million customers. So it's not surprising that he says that "coal is not a four-letter word."
But even with his company's marriage to fossil fuels, the potential influence of Duke Energy and its like over the future of the energy industry is undeniable: Duke's capital budget to invest in technology and infrastructure is $5 billion this year.
Meanwhile, the total amount of venture capital that went into clean tech start-ups last year was in the range of $3 billion to $4 billion.
Rogers is one of several industry CEOs calling for regulations that put a price on polluting carbon dioxide and Duke Energy is a member of U.S. CAP (United States Climate Action Partnership), a consortium of large corporations trying to influence policy.

What is GTL from Shell?

"GTL is a liquid fuel from natural gas" but "Is Biodiesel drinkable too ?"
Shell is filling cable channels with commercials for GTL, or gas-to-liquids, and someone asked me about it, so here's your answer:

GTL is a type of liquid fuel produced from natural gas. It isn't classic liquefied natural gas, which is natural gas cooled to the point where it turns into a fluid. Instead, methane from underground is cracked by catalysts and heat, turned into synthetic gases, and then transformed into a liquid similar to diesel. The process resembles the coal-to-liquid Fischer-Tropsch process devised in the 1920s.

Shell already makes token amounts of GTL in a plant in Indonesia; much of that fuel gets mixed into the diesel Shell sells in Europe. The next big step comes when the company opens the Pearl facility in Qatar in 2010. (Shell showed us the first fully GTL car at a conference in Qatar in late 2005.) That plant will produce 140,000 barrels of GTL and 120,000 barrels of other byproducts daily. While tiny from a global perspective, that much fuel can keep a lot of cabs on the road.

While GTL results in fewer greenhouse gases than conventional diesel, it ain't cheap. Shell, in fact, is getting its natural gas to make GTL in an area where it's impractical to build pipelines for selling regular natural gas. GTL will be sold into megacities in the emerging world like New Delhi that are struggling to contain emissions.

Oh, and you can drink it. It doesn't taste great, but you won't end up in the hospital. Biodiesel is drinkable, too.

AMD: Is the Worst Over ?

"AMD quad-core Opteron is now available"
AMD's processor business has been in the dumps for well over a year. But a resumption of quad-core shipments and a reduction in its workforce, though painful, may signal a turnaround.

(Credit: AMD)Before we get to the good news, let's first consider a draconian scenario for Advanced Micro Devices. As the chipmaker was announcing Monday that it would lay off 1,650 employees later this year, the stock was hovering just above $6, down from the mid-$20s a year ago and about $40 two years ago. If things do not improve, the company may split in two, according to Ashok Kumar, an analyst at CRT Capital Group.

Kumar sees one scenario in which AMD bifurcates into a manufacturing concern and a design company. If earnings don't trend up by the second half, this is a real possibility according to Kumar. "They don't have too many options with the debt overhang (from the ATI acquisition)," he said. The soft economy may not help matters either.

Kumar listed the well-known reasons for AMD's profit shortfalls: Lack of competitive offerings, blended ASPs (average selling prices) well below Intel's, and the delayed ramp of the high-end quad-core Opteron.

HP puts Via chip in Mini-Note 2133

"HP 2133 Mini-Note PC starts at $499 and weighs only 2.7 pounds"

Hewlett-Packard (HP) chose a relatively obscure processor from Via Technologies for its high-profile Mini-Note 2133.

(Credit: Hewlett-Packard)The Via C7-M offered what HP needed now, according to Robert Baker, a notebook product marketing manager for HP. "Via gave us that right mix of performance and price for the type of environment that this product is going into content consumption." And the chip's low power requirements were a plus too. "Their power (efficiency) is where we needed it to be for this platform. Web surfing, creating Power Points," Baker said.

CNET Reviews said the 2133 Mini-Note performed at "an acceptable level" when "surfing the Web and working on office documents" but "doing very much more than that, or open too many windows at once, and things will start to bog down." And CNET Reviews added this: "We won't kid you--this CPU (1.6GHz Via C7-M) did not perform well at all on our standard benchmarking tests."

welcome Intel Centrino 2 notebook

"Notebook based on the next-generation with Intel Core 2 Duo Centrino 2 processors"
This appears to be a first: Australia-based Pioneer Computers is marketing a notebook based on Intel's "Montevina" Centrino 2 processor and new ATI graphics.
The mobile Centrino 2 processor isn't due until later this quarter but that's not stopping Pioneer from hawking a notebook based on the next-generation Penryn chip and ATI "Radeon M82" graphics.
The processor specifications for the Pioneer DreamBook Style 9008 speak for themselves: "Intel Core 2 Duo Centrino 2 processors (45nm Penryn CPU, Montevina Platform)."
The Thermal Design Power (TDP or thermal envelope) of the processor is listed as 25 watts. The front-side bus is spec'd at 1066 MHz. The low TDP and faster front-side bus distinguishes it from the current generation of Core 2 Duo mobile Penryn chips, which have higher TDPs and slower front-side buses.
The notebook is also listed with an "Intel Cantiga PM45" north bridge and "ICH9M" south bridge. These two components constitute the chipset.
Another intriguing aspect of the computer is the ATI graphics chip listed as "ATI Radeon M82 256M GDDR ll VGA Card PCI-E." This is otherwise known as an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 series chip.
The notebook is also listed as offering a 2.5-inch 320GB hard disk drive and a solid state drive option.

Top List Of Uninstaller

"savvy developers designed uninstall programs to do all the work"
Every Windows user knows that removing a program is more complicated than just deleting it. During the installation process, several files are dropped into different areas of your system to make a program work. The Windows Add/Remove programs utility was meant to be the tool to use for getting the various parts of programs off your hard drive, but it doesn't always do a great job.
Fortunately,some savvy developers designed uninstall programs to do all the guesswork for you. These applications attempt to gather all the files associated with unwanted programs, so that you can get every component of the software off your hard drive for good.
It's important to note that, while these programs do a great job of rooting out rogue files,you still want to check all files thoroughly before deleting them--the best defense against getting rid of something you might need is checking it over carefully.
And the "three best uninstallers are"
- Your Uninstaller 2008
- ZSoft Uninstaller
- Revo Uninstaller

Nokia introduces 'Tube' similar to iPhone

"Touch-screen phone that can be manipulated using your fingers"The world's largest handset maker is starting to talk about its response to Apple's iPhone, almost 10 months since the iPhone made its debut.
Nokia showed off the Nokia Tube in a presentation slide noticed by Infoworld at a software development conference in California Monday. The Tube, like the iPhone, is a touch-screen phone that can be manipulated using your fingers, and is Nokia's "first touch device," according to Tom Libretto of Forum Nokia.
It's fair to say the iPhone forced just about every handset maker to take a second look at their product development lineup. HTC and LG have shown off their iPhone-lookalikes already, and more will probably start to appear over the rest of the year.
Nokia didn't provide a time frame for the launch of the Tube. Several Web sites have put up a grainy picture of a phone that purports to be the Tube, but I can't figure out who took the original image, so I'm not putting it here until we figure out if it's real, or if proper credit can be assigned. I can, however, show you what all the fuss is about through the magic of hyperlinking

Indeed, even with the countless flash drives on the market, the ultra-petite "Pico-C" would be hard to beat in the shrinkage department. It weighs less than a nickel and is only a little bigger than a quarter, as shown in the picture above.
The only potential problem, however, is that it may be too small. It's a good thing that the drive is water-resistant, because it's bound to be forgotten in somebody's pocket and end up in the wash.

Laptop makers adopt 3G Gobi chipset

Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Lenovo are to incorporate Qualcomm's Gobi chipset into their laptops later this year.
Gobi, which Qualcomm released in October 2007, is a chipset that allows travelers to connect to both High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) and Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) networks. Both are types of "super-3G" but are incompatible.

HSPA is used in Europe and much of the rest of the world, while EV-DO is used in North America and parts of Australia.

The disparity between HSDPA and EV-DO networks has led to a situation where, despite data-roaming agreements between companies such as Vodafone (in the U.K.) and Verizon (in the U.S.), a subscriber to either operator is forced to switch data cards if traveling between the regions.

"The Gobi solution enables enterprise users and consumers with the freedom of being untethered from Wi-Fi hot spots and connecting to the Internet using 'almost anywhere' cellular broadband connectivity," Greg Raleigh, vice president of product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, said last week. "We are pleased that Dell will be (using) the flexibility and efficiency Gobi provides to meet the growing needs of mobile data users."

Ken Bond, Dell's director of wireless product management, said the move would allow the laptop manufacturer to address the needs of "customers (who) are demanding more freedom to compute the way they want, where they want."

Jive Software Releases Clearspace 2.0, Acquires Jotlet

Jive Software has released version 2.0 of Clearspace, its collaboration suite for businesses. The company is also announcing that it has acquired Jotlet, makers of online calendar software.

Jive provides two products with the Clearspace name, both of which run on the same platform. The one getting upgraded is simply known as “Clearspace” and is used by businesses for internal collaboration purposes. This means holding discussions, sharing and working on documents, blogging, running polls, organizing projects, handling group tasks, and more. The other product is called “Clearspace Community” and consists of software that businesses can use to communicate with customers and the broader community.

Clearspace 2.0 has been upgraded in 5 primary ways. There are more social networking features that employees can use to learn about each others’ professional activities. The experience is more iGoogle-y, with lots of drag-n-drop modules that can be added and removed for customization purposes.

Jive has also built out what it’s calling an XMPP cloud that essentially gives outsiders access to particular sections of a Clearspace community. For example, if you are organizing a project using Clearspace (another new capability), you can invite partners from other companies to join you for just those projects. This feature exposes Clearspace to those who haven’t seen it before and gives it a viral edge.

Over the coming year, Jive will incorporate Jotlet’s technology into Clearspace to beef up its calendaring functionality. The company says it acquired Jotlet because it had a good API and integrated well with Outlook.

Jive claims that it now has over 2,000 customers, which includes 15% of the Fortune 500. It likes to explicitly pit Clearspace up against Microsoft SharePoint, which it says focuses more on file sharing than true collaboration. Clearspace, which is based on Java, comes as both a hosted and an on-premise solution, and is free for 5 people to try out. Additional seats are $59/year up to a certain size before enterprise pricing kicks in.

TripIt Goes Even More Mobile

TripIt, the service that creates master travel itineraries out of your confirmation emails, has become even more traveler-friendly with a new mobile site.

Users can access the site at m.tripit.com with their handheld devices. We’ve been told it works best with Blackberrys, iPhones, and Treos (the shot on the right is obviously how it looks on an iPhone).

The new site will support TripIt’s Closeness Matches, a feature that informs travelers when they’ll be in the same areas as their friends. It’s a feature that may very well have been inspired by Dopplr, another hot startup in the travel space.

Michael recently named TripIt as one of the Web 2.0 companies he couldn’t live without.

For some reason, Twitter hasn't yet taken the journalist community by storm

After the derision that greeted The New York Times' blogging-will-kill-you story on Sunday, I'm probably not going to do much for the reputation of the mainstream media with hard-core bloggers. So it goes.

Out of curiosity, I drew up a list of 55 technology journalists to find out how many use Twitter, arguably one of the most important social-media technologies on the scene. I included names of some online reporters--including colleagues from CNET as well as TechCrunch--but in the main, the list is comprised of people employed by A-list newspapers and periodicals.

I don't pretend to have come up with a statistically representative list. Call it my weekend science experiment. What's more, some people may have crossed me up by hiding behind pseudonyms. Truth be told, I only changed my "coopeydoop" handle to "Charles Cooper" on Saturday after realizing it made searching for me on Twitter that much harder. So, apologies in advance if I inadvertently lumped anyone in with the wrong list.

Out of the 55 names I randomly came up with, 14 were found on Twitter while the remainder were missing in action. When I pinged one of the reporters asking why--sorry, names of the innocent are being withheld--here's what he answered:

"I don't have a Twitter account, because I think it's silly," the answer came back. "Twitter is lame."

OK, but my guess is that by year's end, most of the folks on the holdout list will get with the program. Not because it's necessarily an elegant system--I'm keeping my pet list of Most Needed Improvements on the service if any of the Twitter folks is interested. Rather, it's a question of self-interest. News often breaks on Twitter before it hits blogs. And companies are paying attention to what comes over the transom. For instance, Mike Arrington's Comcast novella over the weekend did not go unnoticed by the company's monitors.

"Within 20 minutes of my first Twitter message I got a call from a Comcast executive in Philadelphia who wanted to know how he could help. He said he monitors Twitter and blogs to get an understanding of what people are saying about Comcast, and so he saw the discussion break out around my messages."

You're going to see more of this in the weeks and months ahead. More than anything else, self-interest will decide the question for the Fourth Estate. As TechMeme's Gabe Rivera twittered a few days ago, resistance is futile.

Scrabble launches on Facebook: Yanks need not apply

An official Scrabble application, developed by RealNetworks' Gamehouse division, recently launched on Facebook's developer platform. Will it be a Zombies-caliber success? Probably not.

It's been clear for a while that the copyright holders on the classic board game Scrabble have been none too pleased with the wildly popular Scrabulous, a developer-created Facebook application that mimics the design and rules of the original. So it seemed that, after months of legal threats, the companies behind Scrabble would be taking a step in the right direction to actually launch an official Facebook app to offer users a legal alternative to Scrabulous on the popular social-networking site.

Except not really. The Scrabble app is only available to Facebook users outside the U.S. and Canada, because the rights to Scrabulous are owned by Hasbro in those two countries and by Mattel elsewhere around the world. It was Mattel that negotiated the Scrabble Facebook app with RealNetworks. Only users who list their location as outside the U.S. and Canada can play the game.

Confused yet?

A New York Times article Monday wrote that RealNetworks had, oddly enough, made a pledge to help save the Scrabulous game back in March. Yet a company representative told the Times that the Mattel negotiations had been going on for several months.

All corporate bickering aside, it looks like the Scrabble game, which is in beta, just might not be that awesome. "Facebook Scrabble takes a long time to load, does not always quickly update to show recent moves," the Times article by Heather Timmons related, "and the words the game will accept do not reflect standard Scrabble dictionaries, or even the English language."

Sounds like the "Save Scrabulous" crowd has reason to keep up its cause.

Bring Internet Explorer 7 back on track

Microsoft has offered an IE7 troubleshooting guide, but to save our time just follow these:

-1st check for Windows updates,
-2nd scan your computer for viruses,
-3rd reset the browser to its default settings by clicking Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Reset (a last resort,if you don't mind losing your customizations)
-4rth disable your add-ons and toolbars, and enable them one at a time to find the one causing the problem.

Before you follow option 3 or 4, try what Microsoft describes as options 5, 6, and 7: Delete your temporary Internet files, browser history, and cookies.That is quite simple, but will reload the site slowly which you have already visited and mostly, the likeliest source of the problem. Choose Tools > Internet Options > General, click Delete under Browsing History, and select Delete files under Temporary Internet Files, History, and Cookies.Click Yes at each warning and then Close and click OK.

If the problem still arise then go to open IE7 with no add-ons or toolbars enabled,click Start > Run (in XP), or press the Windows key (in Vista),type iexplore.exe -extoff,and hit Enter. If the problem is solved then close internet explorer and reopen it normally.Disable all your add-ons: Click Tools > Manage Add-ons > Enable or Disable Add-ons, select the add-ons one at a time, and then click Disable for each, but keep one enabled. If internet explorer works fine,enable another one and test yuor browser again. Enable the addons one by one until the problem is resolved. When it does, you've found the solution for it.

In the event that none of these steps cures what ails IE7, it's time to break out the big guns: Boot into Safe Mode with Networking, log into a different user account, or go the clean boot route. Microsoft offers step by step guides for these and other IE7 advancedtroubleshooting techniques.

For Facebook Chat, a quiet and cautious Sunday debut

Facebook chose a Sunday afternoon, when much of the tech blogger corps was pleasantly enjoying real life (we can hope), to start rolling out its previously announced instant-messaging client. That's likely no coincidence: this is a major new feature for the social-networking site, and debuting it on a weekend afternoon probably ensured a smoother integration.

A Facebook employee told me in the days before the launch that it was "a big challenge" to get ready to roll out Facebook Chat to the site's 67 million members. Because of that, Facebook has opted for a gradual rollout rather than a large-scale launch to all members at one time. The in-browser client, which lets members of the site talk to their Facebook friends who are logged in, is still not live on many Facebook accounts--mine, for example.

Facebook has earned criticism from some performance monitoring firms for unreliability, and the Techmeme set is notorious for not cutting companies a whole lot of slack--remember when Google relaunched Blogger late in 2006? After "Beacongate," Facebook doesn't need another PR debacle.

And as an extra precaution, the debut version of the application is extremely light. There is no support for external IM clients yet, though the company has said it's exploring Jabber support. For now, that means it probably won't be pulling chat-friendly Web users away from their existing services (the AIMs, Yahoos, and Google Talks of the world) and clients like Meebo and Adium. Yet.

In that respect, the launch of Facebook Chat is much like the history of Facebook itself. The service famously started in a Harvard dorm and was limited to students with Harvard e-mail addresses before gradually rolling out to other universities, then companies, and finally the general public.

Considering the site remains the toast of the town all over Silicon Valley nearly a year after the launch of its developer platform thrust it into the spotlight, it looks like they've been pretty successful in spite of that caution.

The new addition to Facebook likely won't have the impact of drawing new members or "converting" people from other social networks. Where it will make a difference, however, is on the amount of time that members spend on the site, which can make a big difference for advertisers.


On the flip side, this could spell doom for those hours you whittle away on Facebook at the office all day. If your boss hasn't blocked access to the site yet, browser-based instant messaging could be the final straw.

Quick fixes for browser glitches

As new Web applications come,and the older ones are enhanced,we are spending more of our work time in a browser.But Unfortunately, also seemingly spending more time trying to figure out why our browser is not displaying the sites we visit correctly, or at all.

Now a days it's tough being as a Web designer. Even if we create sites that comply with the latest HTML and other Web standards, still can't be sure that the pages will open or function correctly to all of the site's visitors. The fact is that the Internet Explorer has its own set of rules, so we need to redesign our sites accordingly.

Microsoft claims that Internet Explorer 8 is in currently beta version and will support more standards, but again this could cause problems as sites designed for IE7 does not load correctly in the new released version. Web designers will be able to add a "meta element" to pages that allows them to open in the new IE release as they would in IE7.

Atom chip breeds wee gadgets

A big splash at the Intel Developer Forum in Shanghai was the unveiling of Intel's Atom chips and prototypes of devices that will use it. The chips are geared for Netbooks and MIDs, or Mobile Internet Devices, that are smaller than a notebook but bigger than a handheld.

The chips are expected to use between 0.65 watts and 2.4 watts compared with notebook chips that typically draw between 20 watts and 35 watts.

"This is as important to Intel as the launch of the Pentium in the mid-1990s", Intel Chief Executive Paul Otellini said in a video played during an IDF keynote speech.

Windows 7 will arrive next year

Bill Gates have indicated that Windows 7,which is the next major version of Windows, might come by next year,About Windows Vista, Gates said that "Sometime in the next year or so we will have a new version." pointing to Windows 7, the code name for the next full release of Windows client software, Gates said: "I am super-enthused about what it will do in lots of ways."

Windows 7 and its best features have been the topic of speculation since Microsoft discussed some details of the new software last year.

At that time, Microsoft had said that Windows 7 would be available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The company also confirmed that it is considering a subscription model to complement Windows, but did not mention exact time frame.

It is not clear whether Gates was referring to an early testing of Windows 7 coming within the year, as opposed to a widespread release.An early test geared toward developers would be conceivable. The company has repeatedly said that it is going to accelerate the development of new Windows versions, largely as a response to Vista's roughly five year gestation period.

Microsoft also mentioned that it would not stop to extend a lifeline for Windows XP,but there will be limited number of specialized machines will be sold with Windows XP operating system after June.The company said that it will continue to sell Windows XP Home edition to class of computers it calls "ultra low cost PCs".

According to Microsoft Vista, has sold well with the current version of windows. But the operating system's debut was marred by repeated delays and shifting feature lists. Last week, Microsoft stepped up efforts to drive adoption of Vista by businesses.

Nomophobia - Fear of losing Mobile phone contact

Researchers in London had discovered new thing which they have termed as "nomophobia", the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.

Researchers from Britain also have carried out a survey and found that nomophobia is completely disturbing our daily life when your mobile phone is running out of battery or credit, losing your handset and not having proper network coverage is affecting almost 53 per cent of mobile users.

We all know about stressful situations in everyday life like moving house, break-ups and organising a family Christmas, but it seems like without mobile contact may be the 21st century's contribution to our already manic lives.

"Being phone less and panicked is a symptom of our daily culture," said by Stewart Fox-Mills, the Head of Telephony at the Post Office, which commissioned the YouGov survey, was quoted by The Independent newspaper as saying.

According to the survey, men suffer more than women, with 48 per cent of females and 58 percent of males admitting to feelings of anxiety.More than 20 per cent of the 2,163 respondents said they never switched off their mobiles,and one in ten admitted that their job required them to be contactable at all times, the survey has revealed.

Some 55 per cent cited keeping in touch with friends or family as the main reason for being wedded to their handsets and nine per cent said having their phone switched off made them anxious.

However, the Post Office has come up with a solution to avoiding nomophobia. It recommends leaving loved ones an alternative contact number and making a back-up list of all contacts in case the phone is lost or stolen.
