New sites online

Filed under: News — kary @ 11:17 pm

I have privy to a private beta test and some of the conversation is sure going to be interesting with these new web sites that are about to launch.

Search Engine Critics – A site that is going to be a collaborative blog, and perhaps add some forums, all relating to crtiqueing the search engines. After talking to James who invited me, it seems that he wants to stray away from the search engine watch and webmaster world posting craziness, and keep it as a collaborative blog so that only specific correct answers are posted and not a bunch of I think this, I think that crap.

A sub project of this, If I had a search engine dot com is going to feature so cool ideas for better search engineers. Some graphics and end user enhancements have been discussed, amongst other things. I hope this become collaborative as well.

Another Friend has started posting his thoughts on another web critic.com as well.

The Wired 40

The Wired 40

What makes a company wired? We start by looking for the basics: strategic vision, global reach, killer technology. But that’s not enough. To land a spot on our annual Wired 40 list, a business also needs the X-factor – a hunger for new ideas and an impatience to put them into practice. Such companies inevitably become trendsetters, literally: As we debated and redebated the list this year, six major themes flickered into view. From the rise of peer production to the end of carbon pollution, they tell us where the world is heading. These are the companies leading the way.

01. GOOGLE
2005 Rank: 02
Less cuddly but more profitable than ever, the monster from Mountain View has rivals but no peers. Is it a search engine? A media company? A software provider? Who cares? Microsoft, for one. Get ready for the grudge match of the decade.

02. APPLE
2005 Rank: 01
In the drama of Apple’s resurgence, act one was forging the iTunes/iPod axis. Act two was bundling the iLife suite of creative tools with new computers. Adapting the Mac OS to run Windows apps natively would make a triumphant conclusion.

03. SAMSUNG
2005 Rank: 03
Smart design and rapid product development made Samsung tops in consumer electronics. What will the company do with its newly doubled research staff of 32,000 and a $40 billion budget? Next iPod, please!

Creating professional documentation with Linux tools

Creating professional documentation with Linux tools

Documentation is a necessary evil of software development. While Linux lacks standard Windows tools such as FrameMaker, RoboHelp, and WebWorks Publisher, it’s still a viable environment for technical writers. Linux users can take advantage of a number of documentation tools, including both free or open source software (FOSS) and proprietary software. All of them give technical writers the ability to author and publish professional documentation.

10 common misunderstandings about the GPL

10 common misunderstandings about the GPL

The GNU General Public License (GPL) is one of the most widely used software licenses — and, undoubtedly, the most misunderstood. Some of this misunderstanding comes from hostile propaganda, but some also comes from a lack of experience in licensing issues on the part of both lawyers and lay users, and the use of standard language in conventional end-user license agreements that are unthinkingly coupled with the GPL. In all cases, the confusion is frequently based on misreadings, rumors, secondhand accounts, and what is convenient to believe.
