Google expects new operating system to be running low-cost computers by 2010 holiday season.
Google set the late 2010 target date during its first preview of a much-anticipated Operating System that eventually may mount a challenge to Microsoft Corp.'s Windows — the foundation for most personal computers since the 1990s.
The Internet search leader announced plans in July for an operating system named after its Chrome Web browser. At the time, Google said Chrome OS would be ready during the second half of 2010. That left open the possibility that Chrome OS computers could be on sale as early as next summer.
But Google is taking its time so outside programmers can contribute to Chrome OS, which is being developed under an open-source model in which anyone can help with development and share improvements. Google also intends to work closely with computer manufacturers to ensure they meet the Chrome OS's requirements.

Windows 7 upgrade
Microsoft's new Windows 7, which goes on sale Thursday, has already scored points for being a better operating system than Vista because it's easier to use and control.
There are a variety of upgrade options, priced from $120 for Home Premium — the version most consumers are likely to want — to $220 for the Ultimate version. (If you're purchasing the full version, the costs range from $200 for Home Premium to $320 for the full version.)
Microsoft has also updated their software Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor two days ago. Consumers organizations advice to use it before upgrading especially if you still use Windows XP.
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is a tool that runs on Windows XP and Windows Vista.
It can be used to audit the computer system to find out if it is compatible with Microsoft’s latest operating system Windows 7.
To do that the program will scan the computer system’s hardware and software for compatibility issues. It also offers guidance and explains how to overcome these issues to make the system compatible with Windows 7.
The program needs to be installed before it can be used to audit the system. A scan takes less than a minute to complete.

Summer Solstice
The longest day of daylight each year in the Northern Hemisphere is AROUND JUNE 21
On the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, sunlight hitting the Tropic of Cancer is perpendicular to the earth's surface.
Pagans and Wiccans gather at the solstice to honor the sun and to dedicate their service to the earth. But many solstice revelers use the extra hours of sunlight as an excuse to party. According to an article in The Guardian, the Wiltshire police are bringing horses, drug sniffing dogs and an unmanned drone to control the 30,000 people expected to descend upon the ancient ruins. The article goes on to say that “peace-loving” Druids are taking their celebrations elsewhere to avoid the unruly throngs.

Web 2.0 crowned the 'millionth English word'
I read an interesting news that a US-based language monitoring group crowned Web 2.0 as the one millionth word or phrase in the English language.
The Global Language Monitor, which uses a math formula to track the frequency of words and phrases in print and electronic media, said Web 2.0 appeared over 25 000 times in searches and was widely accepted, making it the legitimate, one millionth word.
There is some controversy among the linguists, but surely Web 20.0 is becoming a widely used phrase, especially on the Internet.

IBM is bringing LINUX to SMBs
IBM has asked Linux distributors Canonical/Ubuntu, Novell and Red Hat to bundle Linux with IBM Lotus' Open Collaboration Client Solution, which includes Lotus Notes, Lotus Symphony and Lotus Sametime.
Those bundles will then be offered to PC makers to sell with their desktop products. In addition, Big Blue will offer Linux appliances based on its Lotus Foundations line that incorporate a preconfigured version of Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10. Products are due out sometime next year.
IBM has also unveiled the ISV Software Appliance Initiative for Channel Partners in order to deliver Linux software appliances to midmarket customers, as well as a toolkit that simplifies the packaging of Domino applications for the Lotus Foundations appliance.

Good Sales for Wireless Networks Smartphones
In today's difficult economy, people are still spending a lot for smartphones, even if sales are expected to fall for cellphones.
Sales of BlackBerrys, iPhones and other smartphone models are rising smartly and are projected to increase 25 percent this year, according to Gartner, a research business.
That is certainly a message the wireless industry would like to reinforce. “Smartphones are seen as essential to be productive in a mobile society,” said David Christopher, chief marketing officer at AT&T’s wireless division.
The smartphone wave, industry analysts say, should continue to build. There is ample room for gains because, smartphone sales will still account for only a quarter of total cellphone shipments in the United States this year. And along with the Palm Pre, many new smartphone handset and software offerings are coming this year, from Apple, R.I.M., Nokia, Microsoft, Google and others.
However some experts complain that there’s a big gap between the services offered by wireless carriers and what’s available on consumer desktops. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile offer little, if anything, beyond address book syncing.
