Microsoft is building a new browser as part of its Windows 10 push | ZDNet

There’s been talk for a while that Microsoft was going to make some big changes to Internet Explorer in the Windows 10 time frame, making IE “Spartan” look and feel more like Chrome and Firefox.

It turns out that what’s actually happening is Microsoft is building a new browser, codenamed Spartan, which is not IE 12 — at least according to a couple of sources of mine.

Spartan is still going to use Microsoft’s Chakra JavaScript engine and Microsoft’s Trident rendering engine (not WebKit), sources say. As Neowin’s Brad Sams reported back in September, the coming browser will look and feel more like Chrome and Firefox and will support extensions. Sams also reported on December 29 that Microsoft has two different versions of Trident in the works, which also seemingly supports the claim that the company has two different Trident-based browsers.

However, if my sources are right, Spartan is not IE 12. Instead, Spartan is a new, light-weight browser Microsoft is building.

FBI Allegedly Investigating Lizard Squad Member Over Xbox Live, PSN Attacks

The FBI is actively investigating a member of the hacker collective that claimed responsibility for recent high-profile cyberattacks on Microsoft and Sony properties, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the investigation and the attacks. A member of the Lizard Squad hacking group, who goes by the alias “ryanc” or Ryan, allegedly garnered the attention of a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation after speaking with the media about Lizard Squad’s Christmas-day attacks on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.

The Interview Online Sales – Business Insider

Sony announced Sunday night that “The Interview” was downloaded or rented online more than 2 million times, generating over $15 million in sales.

After initially pulling the movie from theaters, Sony decided to release it online instead. “The Interview” premiered December 24 on YouTube, Google Play, Xbox Video, and Sony’s own site, SeeTheInterview.com.

On Sunday, Apple made the movie available for rent or purchase on iTunes.

“The Interview” costs $14.99 to own or $5.99 to rent.

A source familiar with the movie’s online sales told Business Insider the “vast majority” of rentals and downloads came from Google Play and YouTube.

Meanwhile, “The Interview” was pirated an estimated 1.5 million times in its first two days, according to Torrent Freak.

Apple and Apps Dominated Christmas 2014 | Flurry

Flurry examined these new device activations to understand what types of devices consumers are exchanging for the holidays, and with which types of apps they are filling them. Since the beginning of the mobile revolution, Christmas Day has seen the highest number of new device activations and app installs each year, and 2014 was no exception. Flurry examined data from the more than 600,000 apps.

Apple accounted for 51% of the new device activations worldwide Flurry recognized in the week leading up to and including Christmas Day (December 19th – 25th). Samsung held the #2 position with 18% of new device activations, and Microsoft (Nokia) rounded out the top three with 5.8% share for mostly Lumia devices. After the top three manufacturers, the device market becomes increasingly fragmented with only Sony and LG commanding more than one percent share of new activations on Christmas Day. Up-and-comers Xiaomi, Huawei, and HTC all had less than one percent share on Christmas Day. One reason is surely their popularity in Asian markets where December 25th is not the biggest gift-giving day of the year.

6 Terabyte Hard Drive Round-Up: WD Red, WD Green and Seagate Enterprise 6TB

For a while, 4TB drives were the top end of what was available in the market but recently Seagate, HGST, and Western Digital announced breakthroughs in areal density and other technologies, that enabled the advent of the 6 Terabyte hard drive. This round-up looks at three offerings in the market currently, with a WD Red 6TB drive, WD Green and a Seagate 6TB Enterprise class model. Though the WD drives only sport a 5400RPM spindle speed, due to their increased areal density of 1TB platters, they’re still able to put up respectable performance. Though the Seagate Enterprise Capacity 6TB (also known as the Constellation ES series) drive offers the best performance at 7200 RPM, it comes at nearly a $200 price premium. Still, at anywhere from .04 to .07 per GiB, you can’t beat the bulk storage value of these new high capacity 6TB HDDs.

Intel reinvents Stephen Hawking’s voice systems and will open source the software – IT News from V3.co.uk

Intel has reinvented the speech and text communication systems used by Professor Stephen Hawking, and plans to release the software as an open source project in 2015.

The Assistive Context Aware Toolkit has helped to double Hawking’s speech and text input times, and make it up to 10 times faster for him to open files, switch between applications and browse the web.

Hawking said at an event attended by V3 that the Intel developments are “life-changing” for him.

“The Intel team and I have been working for three years on upgrading my communication systems. My old system is more than 20 years old and I find it very difficult to communicative effectively and do the things I love to do.

“With the improvement I am now able to write much faster and I can continue to give lectures, write papers and books and speak with friends and family more easily.

“This new system is life-changing for me and I hope it will serve me well for the next 20 years.”

Intel began work on the project three years ago when Hawking contacted the firm’s founder, Gordon Moore, to ask for help in impro

One major improvement is a new system making it far easier for Hawking to access files, as ‎Lama Nachman, principal engineer and manager of the Anticipatory Computing Lab at Intel Labs, explained.

One aspect of the system that has not changed is the voice, which has become synonymous with Hawking. “He was actually adamant about us not changing his voice,” said Nachman.

The new software will be made open source next year, but Swiftkey said that its involvement in the project will not be included as the technology is too similar to its core product.

Google to launch kid-friendly versions of Chrome, YouTube, others in 2015 | Ars Technica

Google is currently working on versions of products like Chrome and YouTube tailored specifically for kids under the age of 13, according to a report from USA Today. Pavni Diwanji, a VP of engineering at Google, says that the new products are due at some point next year and that they are intended to help children “be more than just pure consumers of tech, but creators, too.”

It’s not clear how these under-13 products will work, but they may change the way they look or the kinds of data they present.

In the US, one of the biggest considerations when designing online products and services for kids is the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA. It dictates how information can be collected from and presented to kids under the age of 13—changes to the law effective in July of 2013 include multiple stipulations related to privacy policies, parental oversight, and security requirements for data collected from young children. Since the vast majority of Google’s revenue comes from advertising and the value of the company’s ads is tied to its trove of user data, COPPA compliance will obviously be important to users and Google alike (Yelp was fined $450,000 earlier this year for COPPA violations).

Dropbox eyes Google and Box with launch of Business API- The Inquirer

**DROPBOX HAS ANNOUNCED **an API for third parties wishing to develop and integrate apps to work alongside its business service.

The move is designed to appeal to users of proprietary office systems.

The API launched with 20 partner organisations including Microsoft and IBM.

It will allow Dropbox for Business apps to use some of the more advanced features not available on the free service, and will also integrate with existing enterprise security systems.

But given Dropbox’s colourful history with regards to safety, what does the company which Edward Snowden described as “hostile to privacy” do to win hearts and minds?

George O’Brien, product manager for Dropbox for Business, told The INQUIRER: “Dropbox for Business is a security first product.”

Stop laughing and nobody mention Condeleezza.

He added: “We encrypt data as it travels through the API. Only a Dropbox for Business system administrator can install a Dropbox for Business API app. We’re very aggressive about who has control over the API and who has access to it.

Samsung’s Open Source Group Is Growing, Hiring Developers – Slashdot

Almost two years ago, Samsung’s open source team was just one person: Linux and FOSS advocate Ibrahim Haddad, head of the open source group at Samsung Research America. The new Open Source Innovation Group at Samsung is now 40 people strong, including 30 developers, devoted full-time to working on upstream projects and shepherding open source development into the company. The group is hiring aggressively and plans to double the size of the group in the coming years. Their first targets are project maintainers and key contributors to 23 open source projects that are integral to Samsung’s products, including Linux, Gstreamer, FFmpeg, Blink, Webkit, EFL, and Wayland. They plan to eventually start hiring more junior open source developers as well. Just about every Samsung product, from phones and tablets to home appliances, uses open source software, said Guy Martin, senior open source strategist at Samsung. Martin also mentions the importance of funding: “You already see this in the Linux kernel, where most people who contribute are paid to contribute. And you’ll see that more and more.”

Celebrating 10 Years of Firefox | The Mozilla Blog

10 years ago we built Firefox to give you a choice. The Web was a monoculture and the only way in was through the company that controlled your operating system. We believed then, and so did many of you, that the Web deserved an independent alternative. Today hundreds of millions of people trust Firefox because they understand that we’re different; that our independence lets us put you first.

Mozilla Introduces ‘Forget Button’ for Firefox and Dev Edition Browser

With a huge developer user base, Mozilla’s new Firefox Developer Edition browser looks to provide an all-in-one debugging toolset for professi

While it’s loosely based around the previous Firefox Aurora builds, it’s not a straight-forward rebrand — it’s closer to the nightly builds, but built for a developer user base with different needs. It also removes a lot of the safeguards that are vital in the consumer browser but that can frustrate developers.

Chromium:

• The Google-authored portion of Chromium is released under the BSD license,[18] with other parts being subject to a variety of different open-source licenses, including the MIT License, the LGPL, the Ms-PL and an MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license

• Chromium (web browser) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  

  Differences from Google Chrome

Chromium is the name given to the open-source project and the browser source code released and maintained by the Chromium Project.[7] It is possible to download the source code and build it manually on many platforms. To create Chrome from Chromium, Google takes this source code and adds:[8]

• A restriction blocking the installation of extensions from anywhere other than the Chrome Web Store[9]
• Integrated Flash Player[10] (proprietary license and code)
• Built-in print preview and print system
• The Google and Google Chrome names (both trademarked)[11][12][13]
• An auto-update system called GoogleUpdate (some, such as the Debian or Ubuntu community builds of chromium, rely on the package management system of the OS as an alternative)
• An opt-in option for users to send Google their usage statistics and crash reports
• RLZ tracking when Chrome is downloaded as part of marketing promotions and distribution partnerships. This transmits information in encoded form to Google, including both when—and from where—Chrome was downloaded. In June 2010, Google confirmed that the RLZ tracking token is not present in versions of Chrome downloaded from the Google website directly, nor in any version of Chromium. The RLZ source code was also made open source at the same time (previously it was proprietary—and although the source is now open the feature was not migrated to Chromium) so that developers can confirm what it is and how it works.[14]

By default, Chromium only supports Vorbis, Theora and WebM codecs for the HTML5 audio and video tags. Google Chrome supports these as well as the patent-encumbered AAC and MP3 codecs. On 11 January 2011, the Chrome Product manager, Mike Jazayeri, announced that Chrome would no longer support the H.264 video format for its HTML5 player.[15] In October 2013 Cisco announced that it was open-sourcing its H.264 codecs and will cover all fees required.[16] As of December 2013, Chrome still supports H.264. Linux distributions that distribute Chromium may add support for other codecs to their customized versions of Chromium.

Gnome Vs Groupon

• Help the GNOME Foundation defend the GNOME trademark

Recently Groupon announced a product with the same product name as GNOME. Groupon’s product is a tablet based point of sale “operating system for merchants to run their entire operation.” The GNOME community was shocked that Groupon would use our mark for a product so closely related to the GNOME desktop and technology. It was almost inconceivable to us that Groupon, with over $2.5 billion in annual revenue, a full legal team and a huge engineering staff would not have heard of the GNOME project, found our trademark registration using a casual search, or even found our website, but we nevertheless got in touch with them and asked them to pick another name. Not only did Groupon refuse, but it has now filed even more trademark applications (the full list of applications they filed can be found here, here and here). To use the GNOME name for a proprietary software product that is antithetical to the fundamental ideas of the GNOME community, the free software community and the GNU project is outrageous. Please help us fight this huge company as they try to trade on our goodwill and hard earned reputation.
