Okay, nothing much to post today. I see a couple of good news at Neowin.net, so I’ll share with you. Neowin.net is one of the technology news site I frequent.
Firstly, Google is going to have a new look. It still loads fast, so don’t worry that your favorite search engine crawls. I don’t see it as a significant improvement but it’s still news worthy since I use Googlequite often. Some blue gradients added. Some changes in their cache pages. Some changes in the image finder too I believe.
MSN is about to release the next version of their popular messenger brilliantly named “MSN Messenger 6.2″ since it’s at version 6.1 currently. The usual bug fixes I guess. “Launch Site” is renamed to “Fun & Games”, new Music Exchange feature to share music like in threedegrees. But what really attracted me was – animated display pictures – well, in other words, your display pictures can move.
Last year, Eolas Technologies Inc. sued browser maker, Microsoft, for infringing a browser technology that allows mini-programs to work in the internet. Microsoft is order to compensate Eolas US$521 million. They just suedMicrosoft for the money; all browsers [yes, Mozilla too] infringed that technology. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has invalidated Eolas’ claims for their web browser plug-in technology. Hence Microsoft Internet Explorer and the other browsers are not required to make changes that would have crippled plug-ins such as Flash [good to hear Flash won't be affected] and Quicktime. Hooray for the verdict.
Okay, end of my news reporting. Back to my studying; there is a test tomorrow on Database Management Systems.
