Just a small Google product alert:

Google’s started a phone search which provides information ranging from movie timmings to local buisness information. It’s a pilot service which is available only in Delhi and Hyderabad.
It proves to be very handy when you are on the go and can be reached with any phone number(i.e. mobile or landline).
a combination of advanced speech recognition technology and local experts(so,no worries about the accent) is being employed to deliver the information to the customers in an effecient and quick manner.
Also,once you find the information you’re looking for, you can:

  • Get the information sent to you for free via SMS
  • Have the information read to you

P.S.

It may not be available at all times and may not work all users

In English, Hindi and Telugu(for the moment)

Android Developer Challenge

Hi,

First I want to say a quick thanks to Mr. Mukesh Kumar to get me introduced back to the club that we founded over 16 years ago!!

I was visiting India for personal reasons and a quick visit back to DPS brought back extreme nostalgia for the years gone by… Many things may have changed around here but a lot of the core things that made DPS great are still intact, and that’s a welcome relief!

I also wanted to take the opportunity to introduce EXUN members to Google’s Android Developer Challenge. This contest that will award $10 million to create applications for Google’s Android phone platform and will play out in two parts. The first phase has been completed and you can see the results at the ADC gallery.

The second contest will start after the launch of actual phones built on the Google Android platform (T-Mobile in the US has announced that the HTC Dream will be released there on Oct 22, 2008).

If there are any students out there that are interested in forming teams and taking part in the second portion of the contest, give me a shout and I will be more than happy to help guide/support/bounce ideas off. I would love to see at least one application submitted by EXUN… and even more if we have enough interest!

Until next time… Good luck to EXUN, Mr. Mukesh, and DPS!

Google’s third co-founder?

Meet the man who calls himself the third co-founder of Google

Melbourne, Sept 26 (ANI): A man, who calls himself Hubert Chang, has released a web video published on Vimeo, in which he has claimed that he is one of the co-founders of Google.

However, his authenticity is being questioned as to why he waited 11 years to make his declaration.

In the video, Chang has claimed that he helped Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page design the search giant in February 1997…

Google Chrome

Google will be finally launching the beta version of it’s open source browser built using the WebKit rendring engine , named “Chrome“.

In Chrome, each tab will have an individual process, and each will have it’s own browser controls and address bar. So if one tab dies only one process will die , thus adding stability. It also has a process manager which allows the user to see how much memory and CPU each tab is taking up, as well as kill off unresponsive tabs.

Having used components from from Apple’s WebKit and Mozilla Firefox among others, Google has made it’s browser open source.

The browser will include a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8, built from scratch by a team in Denmark, and open-sourced as well so other browsers could include it.

The beta release date is scheduled for September 2nd.

For more details visit the official blog.

Here’s an official comic book by Scott McCloud explaining it’s features.
