Поисковик от Microsoft (Bing) в Firefox
Что вы думаете про возможность корпорации Mozilla поменять поиск по умолчанию в Firefox на Bing? Для них это может быть очень сладким искушением :)

ScummVM 1.0 The End of the Beginning
It's time for everyone's favorite semiannual event! ScummVM Release Testing Season (TM)! However, this season we will be testing for 1.0.0! That's right, 1.0.0!
For this release, we have added support for a bunch of new games: Cruise for a Corpse, Discworld, Discworld 2 - Missing Presumed ...!?, Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2, The Manhole, Return to Zork, and Rodney's Funscreen.
As usual, go grab a daily build of ScummVM, play through the games and submit any bugs you see along the way to the bug tracker. When you complete a game, report it on the forums so we can add it to our release testing wiki page. Be sure to provide the version, language, and platform of the game you're testing (in addition to the name of course). You can find more details on testing over here.
GPL конфликт ScummVM с Atari (Wii) и Mistic Software (Украина)
Один из разработчиков ScummVM выложил в своём блоге детали из недавне завершившейся истории судебных разбирательств по поводу нарушения GPL, которая началась в декабре прошлого года, когда был установлен факт использования их проекта в некоторых коммерческих играх для Wii. Как оказалось в итоге, это была разработка черниговских програмистов (украинский офис канадской компании Mistic Software). Проект поддержали юристы из FSF, однако в результате нарушение не было признано, так как сопротивляющаяся сторона убедила заключить полюбовное соглашение, угрожая подать встречный иск об использовании реверс-инжениринга (технология легальна не во всех странах).

mpg123 1.8.0
После 5 RC релизов наконец-то представлена новая версия легковесного mp3 декодера mpg123 (libmpg123). Обновление касается 2-х важных аспектов - оптимизация кода для 64-битных сред, и более аккуратный вывод, полностью соотвествующий ISO в 16 bit signed и 32 bit floating point режимах.

widescreen - ищу рецепты
Всвязи с всё большим распространением ноутбуков, и всё большим стремлением производителям панелей к экономии, мир дисплеев стал переходить к widescreen. Если в кратце, это обосновывается тем что дешевле нарезать панели в одинаковых пропорциях (благодаря HDTV самой популярной стал 16:9), и в широких экранах выходят "дешевле" диагонали чем в "квадартных" экранах (меньше площадь экрана).
Для пользователей это несомненно проблема, надо больше пользоваться скроллингом для чтения документов и сайтов, и вообще при просмотре на близком расстоянии больших экранов боковые области плохо видны (надо крутить головой).
Поэтому возникает желание максимально экономно относится к строкам, оставлять как можно меньше горизонтальных панелей, убирать не нужные панели, и так далее. Соотвественно хотелось бы обсудить варианты обустройства десктопов (и настроек приложений) с ориентировкой на вертикальные панели, можно со скринами.

Nvidia обвиняет Intel в неадекватной ценовой политике
Nvidia makes graphics chips that pair with Intel's low-powered Atom in lower-priced netbook computers. He said Intel sells an Atom chip by itself for $45, but sells a three-chip set for $25 to lure business away.

Nvidia подготовила для сертификации драйвера OpenCL 1.0
Не прошло и месяца после запуска OpenCL Early Access Program, как Nvidia уже отправила совместимые с OpenCL драйверы для Windows XP и Linux на сертификацию к Khronos OpenCL Working Group. OpenCL — это свободный аналог системе CUDA, в перспективе доступный на видеокартах разных производителей (в т.ч. ATI).

Gallery 3.0 Alpha 4 is ready!
первый релиз 3 галереи с поддержкой импорта из 2 версии
http://gallery.menalto.com/gallery_3.0_alpha_4_released
The Gallery 3 Philosophy
Gallery 3.0 is easy and fun to customize. We have made every effort to make it much easier for the casual developer to hack on the product. You don't need a computer science degree to do something really cool with it! And our user-centric development process ensures that the user interface is not an afterthought.
Scope and target audience - Before starting development on Gallery 3.0, the target audience and the scope of the application were clearly defined. Gallery 3 is not a general purpose web application handling any file format you throw at it. And it's not supported on every web platform that exists. It's highly targetted.
Prudent decisions helped to simplify the product at a very early stage. For instance, there are no longer photo-level permissions. Permissions are managed on an album level. Most of our users don't effectively use photo-level permissions and this simplification extends from the database up to the user interface.
Simplicity - We're glad to have usability and user interface experts on our team, designing and prototyping interfaces that just make sense. The emphasis is on making simple, frequent tasks quick and easy. To see an example of this, check out the admin dashboard and the user/group administration page.
Size matters! - Gallery 3.0 is currently a mere 4.3MB (uncompressed on your disk), with all its features. Compare that to the 16.5MB of Gallery 2.3's bare bones minimal package. Leaving out some levels of abstraction really helps to lose some weight!
On the shoulders of giants... - Gallery 3.0 is made possible by some truly great advances in technology.
We evaluated many PHP frameworks before choosing Kohana. It makes PHP application development simple and fast. Thanks to the Kohana folks for providing this first class application framework!
PHP 5. We're taking advantage of many of the new features and capabilities available in the latest versions of PHP. This allows us to write less code and have a faster product.
We're using jQuery to create the rich user interactions in the browser that make the application fast and light. Especially with with jQuery UI and a host of plugins, UI development couldn't be more hassle-free.
Easily customizeable - Did you know you can create your own theme just by copying an existing theme to a new folder? How's that for easy? There's no new templating language.. if you know HTML and PHP you can start hacking today.
Simple to extend - We've worked hard to keep things simple. You can write your own module complete with installer, menus and theme integration in just a few lines of code. And to make life easier, we've created a Developer module that gives you a point and click way to create your own modules.
Fewer configurations - We support Gallery 3 on Unix running MySQL 5, Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2. By restricting the number of platforms that we support, we can put out high quality releases faster. Gallery 3 may work with MySQL 4.1, IIS and other platforms but the Gallery team is going to focus its energy on making the best possible product on the supported configurations.

ElcomSoft запретили рассказывать об уязвимости в PGP
Организаторы конференции InfoSecurity, проходящей 28-30 апреля в Лондоне, сорвали со стенда российской компании ElcomSoft плакат со слоганом «Единственный способ взломать PGP» (The only way to break into PGP), о чем руководитель ElcomSoft Владимир Каталов сообщил в блоге компании. Представители организатора выставки, компании Reed Exhibitions, аргументировали свои действия жалобой со стороны компании PGP, разработчика одноименной системы шифрования данных.

Residual - интерпретатор Grim Fandango и Escape from Monkey Island
Residual is a cross-platform interpreter which allows you to play LucasArts' LUA-based 3D adventures: Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: Residual just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
