Microsoft in the Battle Field ? Will King remain the King?

Google has already announced open source lightweight OS that is initially targeted towards netbooks, expected to be released in the 2nd half of 2010.

Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We?re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web.

Google has invited the OS king Microsoft in the battle field by introducing this open source project. Microsoft is still struggling in the Search Business, but what about OS?

According to the geek stuff, people are speculating that following are advantages of Google Chrome OS:

• Open Source
• Netbooks are relatively cheaper
• Speed
• Security
• Portability
• Compatibility
• Simplicity

But the some of the points were same for the MAC, but had Apple succeeded in it? No, coz still there are majority of users who prefer Windows, no matter that Apple?s MAC is being used in servers over security purposes.

The only features that had maintained Microsoft to the top level are comfort and compatibility and this help them again in achieving the same success again.

Sony Sells 4.1M PlayStation Move Units

Sony and Microsoft are both enjoying good sales of their respective motion sensors. Sony, which has a temporal lead, has sold 4.1 million units of its PlayStation Move in the past 3 months, while Microsoft seems to do even better by selling 2.5M Kinect units in a shorter time, and could reach 5M units in a 3-months timeframe. We like both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, but this year, we did nominate Kinect as an "Uber10" gadget for 2010.

If you are still unfamiliar with all these technologies, check our previous take in all three in "The Art of Motion Control: Beyond the Hype".

Report: In-Game Purchases To Blow Mobile Games Revenues Past $11 Billion By 2015

A new report from Juniper Research forecasts global mobile games revenues to surpass $11 billion by 2015, nearly double what they were in 2009. All in all, it's a fairly conservative prediction in my opinion, but what's interesting is that the research firm also says in-game purchases will overtake the traditional pay-per-download model, with Apple's in-app billing mechanism leading the way, as the primary source of monetizing mobile games in about two years (by 2013).

Sprint and Clearwire deliver WiMAX to Los Angeles, Ohio, Miami and Washington DC, promise SF on December 28th

Seems like Sprint wants to get every last lick of 4G coverage in before Verizon flips the switch on LTE -- today, its joint venture with Clearwire is launching WiMAX in the City of Angels a day ahead of schedule. Lest you think Los Angeles is getting special treatment, five other cellular markets can now also get a taste of 5Mbps to 7Mbps download speeds, including Miami, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and our nation's capitol, Washington D.C. That brings the total number of regions where you'll get some mileage out of that $10 surcharge up to 68, in case you're keeping track. What's next? If the press release after the break is correct, San Francisco will finally satisfy its need for speed on December 28th. Not that any of these locales haven't been secretly enjoying 4G already, of course.

Playboy releases not-so-discreet 250GB 'cover to cover' hard drive

Well, you can finally throw out that trunk in your grandfather's garage. Hugh Heffner's legacy has taken a cue from National Geographic -- in an arguably non-horrifying way -- and partnered with publisher Bondi Digital to release a (presumably Seagate-branded) 250GB external hard drive packed with every issue of Playboy released since 1953. Its $300 asking price is roughly four times what you'd pay for a fresh G-rated 250GB drive today, but compared to a 57-year subscription, the digital vault is certainly a bargain. In contrast to their trail blazin' efforts with the iBod though, thanks to the prominent placement of the brand's iconic bow tie-wearing bunny and name, there's no chance of using this device for practical tasks such as backing up TPS reports at the office. Like the decision to phase out DVDs in favor of VOD however, the move does prove the magazine isn't afraid of staying abreast of today's content consumption trends. Next stop, Nook Color?

Mouse Computer's Lm-mini30X nettop gets D525 processor and SSD, costs a lot of cheese

What would you pay for a netbook without a screen? How about one that's rocking a dual-core, 1.8GHz Intel Atom D525 processor, NVIDIA ION graphics, and an 80GB SSD? Mouse Computer is hoping your answer is somewhere around $600, because that's roughly what its new, 49,980 yen Lm-mini30X will cost along with 4GB of RAM, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, HDMI output, and a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. If that's a bit too rich for you, there's the slightly lower-spec Lm-mini30S, which drops you to 2GB of RAM, 320GB on platters, and lowly 32-bit Windows. That'll set you back 37,800 yen, or about $450 -- still a good amount for a little PC, but given neither are likely to see a release on these shores there's no point in getting too worked up about it.

Adafruit Propeller Platform USB entices DIY electronics builders, 'Gadget Gangsters' at large

It's days like today where you realize just how badly you need to scratch that DIY itch, and Adafruit's newest two circuit boards couldn't be landing at a more opportune time. Both of these bad boys are classified as Gadget Gangsters, which makes 'em viable for purchase without any additional investigation. Should you choose to, however, we'll have you know that the Propeller Platform USB is an open-source platform for building your own electronics projects with a new eight-core Parallax Propeller chip; the ProtoPlus model adds video / audio support as well as a "prototyping area." Tutorials are available in the source links for those inexperienced with Spin, and at just $50 / $15 (respectively), we'd say they're well worth the purchase if you're looking to simply get your toes wet. Better known as "become hopelessly addicted to modding" 'round these parts.

I guess I’ll just close my eyes and pretend I’m watching this Lego stop animation about the whole situation… [Thanks Sean!]

Australian Senate passes bill to split Telstra in two, pushes National Broadband Network closer to reality

The future of Australian's Labor Party-backed National Broadband Network is looking much brighter today. The Senate voted in favor of an A$11 billion bill for Telstra's copper network that also has the Telecom company (and former government-owned entity) splitting into both a retail group and a wholesale network group. The House of Representatives will weigh in on Monday, with all signs pointing to passage there as well. The opposition party and its A$6.3 billion proposal? A lost packet.

Google Wave ? New way to communicate on WEB

Google Wave is a product that helps users communicate and collaborate on the web.

A "wave" is equal parts conversation and document, where users can almost instantly communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

Watch the demo video below:

And Here's an image preview of just some of the aspects of this new tool.

What is a wave?

A wave is equal parts conversation and document.People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

Google Wave is also a platform with a rich set of open APIs that allow developers to embed waves in other web services and to build extensions that work inside waves.

What is the Google Wave API?

The Google Wave API allows developers to use and enhance Google Wave through two primary types of development:

• Extensions: Build robot extensions to automate common tasks or build gadget extensions to provide a new way for users to interact
• Embed: Make your site more collaborative by dropping in a Wave

Signup to receive mail alert when Google Wave will be live.
