li a entrevista procurando novidades técnicas neste nivel:
o chrome é um instrumento da google para saber quais sites você visita, porém e além disso, deu um grande pulo num aspecto:
cada aba é um processo isolado
por mais que isso prejudique o desempenho em máquinas mais pobres (exige mais memória), é a solução que, a partir daqui, vai ser definitiva (até aparecer uma melhor, óbvio), pois qualquer computador decente da atualidade de hoje dos dias de ultimamente segura a bronca tranquilamente em relação a isso.
não tendo isso hoje, o firefox poderia correr atrás por mais complexo que seja, até com um prazo maior para desenvolver, e lançar uma versão com essa inovação daqui um tempo, podendo inclusive manter a versão nos moldes da de hoje pra máquinas ‘piores’.
acho que é o mais inteligente a ser feito.
os ‘avanços’ das áreas de laboratório são válidas e necessárias para testar idéias, tecnologias incipientes, desde que não se misturem e/ou atrasem avanços técnicos latentes.
não estou dizendo que é o que acontece aqui, mas se o lance multiprocess não é do escopo do Chief Innovation Officer, espero que seja do CTO.

o internet explorer 6 é um navegador antigo e usar ele atualmente é como querer ver filmes em alta definição em uma televisão em preto e branco de 14 polegadas. ele é antiquado e a internet é um espaço para novas tecnologias, que substituem as antigas, principalmente as que pararam no tempo. o ie6 tem mais de 8 anos de vida, um vovô no mundo windows, e só vale a pena usá-lo se você quiser saber como se navegava na internet do passado. ele tem muitos bugs, é pesado, consome a maior parte da memória do computador, trava toda hora e é cheio de brechas de segurança. é uma doença digital, um câncer binário!
há navegadores melhores disponíveis e gratuitos! sirva-se:
há um movimento que varre a internet pela morte do ie6, decretada para março de 2009:
-
IE Death March
A internet tem que avançar sem o IE6

Why Your Next Computer Might Be A Linux PC
(…) Without the economic crisis to factor in to people’s spending decisions, people probably wouldn’t have considered the Linux option as strongly as they’re doing today. When every dollar saved counts, the decision to go Linux may be more about cost savings than anything else, but that might be what it takes to get people to try the OS computer geeks have been raving about for years.
Debunking Google’s security vulnerability disclosure propaganda
Question: You’re a multibillion dollar tech giant, and you’ve launched a new phone platform after much media fanfare. Then a security researcher finds a flaw in your product within days of its release. Worse, the vulnerability is due to the fact that you shipped old (and known to be flawed) software on the phones. What should you do? Issue an emergency update, warn users, or perhaps even issue a recall? If you’re Google, the answer is simple. Attack the researcher.
(…)
If Google can criticize Miller at all, it cannot be for not warning the company, but perhaps for not providing them with enough warning. However, given that Google shipped known-vulnerable software to hundreds of thousands of users, and that fixed versions of the vulnerable software packages have been available for some time, it is difficult for this blogger to sympathize with the folks in Mountain View.
Furthermore, given Mr. Miller’s previous mercenaryish history of selling software vulnerabilities to the National Security Agency (which presumably used the flaws to break into foreign government computers, and not in order to fix the vulnerable software), we should be happy that he is at least now sharing the existence of this flaw with the public. At least this way, developers have a good chance of finding and fixing it.
Eight-year-old picks Linux XO laptop over Windows
The eight-year-old, representative of the target audience for the educational notebook, spent an afternoon exploring each notebook, finally picking the Linux version mostly because it had more software that was not yet explored. Each iteration had its pros and cons, however, including the Linux version’s slower web browsing and more complicated user interface, at least to those used a Windows interface.
NewsChallenge $USD 5m for Free Software news/info solutions
The Knight Foundation deadline for preliminary applications for $USD 5m grants ends Midnight, PST, 1st Nov 2008. Applications must include an actual real-world geographical location where the free-software-based hardware and/or software solution is deployed. I have an urgent request to make: FIND SOMEWHERE. FAST.
This is a golden opportunity to do a One Laptop Per Person project. not just an OLPC. $USD 5m is enough to get a smartphone / pda / netbook / laptop designed, along with wireless mesh networking hardware, and the software done.
If nothing else, it is enough to get a Software-Defined-Radio custom ASIC designed and built (see Gnu-Radio and Wireless 3G 4 Free), on top of which Babel Routing Software can be deployed to give you wide-area (1-3 miles) metropolitan mesh networking.
This is a golden opportunity to deal with the centralised profit-led systems that have sprung up to “serve us”, and set up decent decentralised robust infrastructure that can store and spread news, information and knowledge no matter whether there is one participant or one million.
THE FULL APPLICATION DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DONE RIGHT NOW.
all that is needed is a quick 25-minute frenzied rush to the keyboard.
but part of that application MUST include a village, town, community, region, eco-homes centre, university – SOMEWHERE there have to be REAL people who will have actual REAL hardware put into their hands.
find.
someone.
fast.
um pouco da história do github:
sobre o git curto este artigo, que já passei e repassei pra n amigos nerds, mas vai de novo aqui:
When I first heard about git, I was suspicious that there could be anything special about it, but after watching Linus’ talk about it, I was… even more suspicious. I tried it anyway.
When I tried it, I realized something right away: what made git awesome was actually none of the things Linus had talked about, not really. Those things were more like… symptoms of the underlying awesomeness. Yes, git is fast. Yes, it is distributed. Yes, it is definitely not CVS. Those things are all great, but they miss the point.
What actually matters is that git is a totally new way to operate on data. It changes the game. git has been described as “concept-heavy”, because it does so many things so differently from everything else. After some reflection, I realized that this is far truer than I could see at first. git’s concepts are not only unusual, they’re revolutionary.
Um Sistema Brasileiro para Computação em Grades
Uma união entre o Instituto de Matemática e Estatística (IME) da USP, a PUC do Rio de Janeiro e a Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) trabalha há quatro anos no desenvolvimento de uma grade computacional open-source para aproveitar os recursos ociosos de máquinas domésticas. Batizado de Integrade, o middleware brasileiro é uma grade de processamento genérico, com suporte a uma variada gama de aplicações, e que tem como objetivo principal garantir que o usuário que ofereça seus recursos para a grade não sinta, sob hipótese nenhuma, perda de desempenho em sua máquina.
