New Apple Macbook Pro due out soon? LED Display and Santa Rosa Intel CPU?

Posted on the June 2nd, 2007 under Apple,Interesting by

According to the rumors a new Apple Macbook Pro is due out soon.   I’m hoping it will be updated to the new Intel chipset along with a few other updated features. I have been waiting every since the release of the first Intel Macbook pro for a two button mouse, and I hope this will be part of the update.  Even with the MacPro I have now, I use a two button mouse, and don’t see why they wouldn’t offer that ability on the laptop.  The rumors are as follows:  LED Display, Santa Rosa Intel cpu.  We shall see after WWDC, which is just about a week away.  I’m due for a new laptop, come on Apple, WOW me!

Check the following sites for up to date info: Mac Rumors, Apple Insider as well as the Unofficial Apple Blog.

And don’t miss out on up to the second coverage at the 2007 WWDC  (World Wide Developers Conference) here – > http://www.macrumorslive.com

Google Gears – Plugins for FireFox and IE that allows web apps to run offline

Posted on the May 30th, 2007 under Interesting,programming by

Wow.. This is quite an announcement from Google. They have released (beta) Google Gears, a way to allow web applications offline. I am reading through the API now, and checking out some of the sample applications. This could lead to some interesting applications, especially for those who are frequently on the go (laptops).

” One of the most frequently requested features for Google’s web applications is the ability to use them offline. Unfortunately, today’s web browsers lack some fundamental building blocks necessary to make offline web applications a reality. In other words, we found we needed to add a few new gears to the web machinery before we could get our apps to run offline. Gears is a browser extension that we hope — with time and plenty of input and collaboration from outside of Google — can make not just our applications but everyone’s applications work offline.
