Google News hits the world;XUL-based Internet desktop; Composer++
When Google News launched its latest beta, there was a lot of buzzing happening in the online news community. Today, the service localized, and has subsites for Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, the U.K., and of course, the U.S.. More prominence is given to local sources and stories, which is quite obvious in the non-North American editions. At Google News Canada—my new bookmark—there’s a “Canada” section, and a better focus on Canadian business news.
OEone’s HomeBase ANYWHERE could a big step toward to my dream of having one desktop available everywhere—and it’s another good example of XUL’s advantages.
As I tend to avoid installing bleeding-edge software on my computers, I haven’t tried out the new version of Composer. The changes are substantial, though, and include absolute positioning support. Could this be the first big step in the creation of a great Web editor?
Now this mapping tool is really geeky, really cool, or both. I vote for the latter.
