Google to Take 630 Summer of Code Projects
Google has announced that it will accept no fewer than a whopping 630 open source projects for this year's Summer of Code. The number is up from last year's 410 projects. Google's Summer of Code initiative provides sponsorship funding for students to work at mentoring open source projects over the summer. Chris DiBona, open source program manager at Google, told internetnews.com that Google received nearly 6,400 applications this year. The increased number of awarded projects this year corresponds with an increase in the number of mentoring organizations. The 630 Google Summer of Code 2006 projects are spread across 102 mentoring organizations, including Google itself. Last summer there were only 41 mentoring organizations. The potential total payout by Google as a result also goes up. The financial part of the initiative stipulates that Google will shell out $5,000 per student developer, $500 of which goes to the mentoring organization and $4,500 goes to the student. That means Google is pumping $3.15 million dollars into the open source ecosystem with this effort this year, up from $2.05 million last year. Full article: internetnews.com |
A marriage of convenience? Dell and Google have agreed to the first in a series of deals to pre-install web and desktop search software on the PC maker's computers, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said on Thursday. Speaking at a Goldman Sachs conference in Las Vegas, Schmidt discussed details of a long-rumoured deal between the number one search engine and the number one PC maker, which is a strike against Google rival Microsoft. Under the deal, millions of Dell PCs will be loaded with the Google toolbar for web and PC search, along with a co-branded homepage, before they're shipped to consumers. Financial details were not disclosed but Schmidt said the companies will share revenue from search-advertising fees. He said: "The real reason we do this is for users. [People] turn the Dell machine on, and everything is integrated right there. [This deal] is a turnkey solution for search." A Dell representative said the deal will not hamper consumer choice on the Dell desktop, however: "Our motivation is to deliver customers tools that enable them to search and organise information quickly and easily, right out of the box... Dell customers will have the option of choosing Microsoft as their default if they prefer." The deal covers Dell PCs sold to consumers and certain corporations. Full story: silicon.com |

Google Web Toolkit 1.0.20 Beta
Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatabilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users the same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML. Download: Google Web Toolkit 1.0.20 Beta |

It's a desktop search application that provides full text search over your email, computer files, music, photos, chats and web pages that you've viewed. By making your computer searchable, Google Desktop puts your information easily within your reach and frees you from having to manually organize your files, emails and bookmarks. It makes searching your computer as easy as searching the web with Google. Google Desktop doesn't just help you search your computer; it also helps you gather new information from the web with Sidebar, a new desktop feature that shows you your new email, weather and stock information, personalized news and RSS/Atom feeds, and more. Sidebar is personalized automatically, without any manual configuration required (though you can certainly make your own customizations if you want to). We've also improved your desktop search experience. With Quick Find, you can now launch applications and see search results as you type without even opening a browser.

Google unveils new applications
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Google announced on Wednesday an update to its Google Desktop product, as well as several new products designed to enhance information gathering on the Web. At its annual press day here in the Googleplex, the search giant took the lid off Google Desktop version 4, Google Notebook, Google Trends and Google Co-op. The new version of Google Desktop lets people use mini-interactive applications from within the product's Sidebar without having to download software or open up a browser, said Marissa Mayer, vice president of search products and user experience. Mayer led a demonstration in which a song icon was dragged and dropped atop a media player, causing the song to start playing. Similarly, a video clip, titled "Laughing Babies," was dragged onto a player, launching a clip of a mother holding a gaggle of giggling babies. "Nothing like a biological clock right there in your Sidebar," Mayer joked. Full article: News.com |
