"SAN FRANCISCO — In a direct challenge to Microsoft, Google announced late Tuesday that it is developing an operating system for PCs based on its Chrome Web browser. The operating system, called Chrome OS, is initially intended for use in the tiny, low-cost portable computers known as netbooks, which have been selling quickly even as demand for other PCs has plummeted. The move is likely to sharpen the already intense competition between Google and Microsoft, whose Windows operating system controls the basic functions of the vast majority of personal computers. “Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS,” said Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management, and Linus Upson, engineering director, in a post on a company blog. “We’re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the Web in a few seconds.” Mr. Pichai and Mr. Upson said that the software would be released online later this year under an open source license,... more... - Susan Beebe from Bookmarklet

Auch wenn ungezählte Bildschirmschoner, neudeutsch auch als „Screensaver“ bezeichnet, für Windows zur Verfügung stehen, so ist „DROPCLOCK“ doch aus allerlei Blickwinkel etwas Besonderes – das fängt schon bei seiner stattlichen Größe von immerhin 136 MByte an. - René Fischer from Bookmarklet

Shortened URLs aren't going anywhere soon. Creating and sharing them is easy, but previewing where they're leading you usually requires add-ons or software. Enter webapp Untiny with quick copy-paste or URL tweak solutions, and plenty of optional helper tools. Like previously mentioned TinyURL Decoder, Untiny extracts the original URL from the shortened one, revealing just where it is you are headed to. - René Fischer from Bookmarklet

Today I discovered a new and very different search engine. Spezify is a new search tool which presents its results using beautiful visual boxes from content it discovers based on search engine results and rich media sites like Flickr, YouTube where it scours to get imagery and even finds ways to present textual content in a pretty fashion. If I had to provide a quick description that many of you would understand it would be if Google married SweetCron and this was their spawn. - René Fischer from Bookmarklet

4 Portable App Suites To Power Up Your USB Flash Drive - http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009...
4 Portable App Suites To Power Up Your USB Flash Drive
Are there any Linux portable app suites? for netbooks with ubuntu? - andy brudtkuhl
hmm i don't know. - Alfredo
I saw that and thought it was some kind of crazy diy super parallel ssd drive. How vaguely disappointing. :) - felix
@andy brudtkuhl -- I don't use ubuntu but I do use Linux and have never found a need for a portable aps suite. Why? Because I use DSL (d*mned small linux) on a very old flash drive. I don't need portable aps if I can boot the computer up into a full blown linux os on a flash drive. I'd imagine that a live CD you've configured just the way you like it would work as well. - Miss Elle

Zocken wie die Manager! Das Finanzkrisenquartett
In Zeiten wie diesen, in denen das Leben der Menschen aufgrund der Finanzkrise von Sorgen und Zukunftsängsten geprägt ist, war es schon immer hilfreich aus der Not eine Tugend zu machen. Spielerisch lernen Sie mit dem Finanzkrisenquartett die Banken und Konzerne kennen, die durch die Krise fast oder sogar ganz vernichtet wurden und haben die Chance selbst Krisen(quartett)gewinnerIn zu werden! Ein Klassiker, den die meisten noch aus ihrer Kindheit kennen, wird nun auch wieder für Erwachsene interessant. Finden Sie heraus, welcher Konzern die meisten Staatshilfen eingestrichen hat und wer die eine hohe Zahl an Entlassungen verantworten muss. Gewonnen hat, wer sich nach und nach alle gegnerischen Karten erspielt hat, sie sozusagen der eigenen Ich-AG einverleibt hat. - René Fischer from Bookmarklet
