Google has made its browser chrome more accessible for disabled people specially color blind people. ChromeVis, which was designed to improve the visibility of text, is the main attraction in the new “Accessibility” group. Engineer Rachel Shearer explains in the video on how it offers all sorts of thoughtful touches that go beyond basic magnification.
Users will also find extensions like Chrome Daltonize that can help color blind users to see more details in web pages or gleeBox that provides alternatives to actions traditionally performed via the mouse such as clicking, scrolling and selecting text fields. The code behind ChromeVis is open to encourage more developers to incorporate best practices in accessibility when designing extensions.
Barnes & Noble revealed a new Wi-Fi version of its Nook eBook reader, and slashed the price of its 3G version to $199. In a similar move, Amazon has now announced that it has dropped the price of its Kindle from $259 to $189.
Barnes and Noble stated in its announcement that the new Nook 3G price made the device the first under $200 dedicated full-feature eBook reader to offer both free 3G wireless and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Amazon says of the Kindle, “Even though it’s a 3G wireless device, Kindle has no monthly fees or annual contracts,” stressing that 3G eliminates the need to hunt for Wi-Fi hotspots.
Amazon also emphasized that its device is in stock and available for immediate shipping.
Google’s act of collecting sensitive WiFi data sent over personal networks is causing more problems by each passing day. Recently, The Association for the Prevention and Investigation of Crime, Abuse and Malpractice in Information Technology and Advanced Communications has filed a lawsuit in Spain. According to the reports, “The organization has filed suit in the Police Court of Madrid against the legal representative of Google Spain.”
APEDANICA “suggests the company has breached Article 197 of the Penal Code, which provides for between one and fours years’ jail for anyone who ‘intercepts telecommunications, or uses listening, transmission, recording or reproduction devices on any other communication signal.’”
This means Google will be facing even more problem in the come months over this issue.
Baidu’s share of the Chinese search engine market is poised to get much bigger soon, if the company is to be believed. An executive explained this morning that Baidu would like to see its share reach 79 percent next year.
Tang Hesong, General Manager of Corporate Development at Baidu, conveyed that figure at a news conference and since Analysys International determined Baidu’s market share to be just 64.0 percent in the first quarter of this year, it’s looks that the company’s aims are tad higher.
Baidu’s rate of growth between the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 make the expectations look achievable. In fact, if Baidu continued to gain share at that pace, it’d clear the 80.0 percent mark this year.
One year ago on 28th may, 2009, Google launched ‘Wave’ that was supposed to revolutionize the way we communicate. Google is celebrating Wave’s first birthday by trying to convince a few more people to give the tech a chance.
Anna-Christina Douglas, a product marketing manager at Google, appealed to ordinary individuals by writing, “[T]he ways I use Wave aren’t revolutionary or groundbreaking – I communicate about everyday things, but it is these incredibly ordinary and important communications that are transformed in unexpected ways when you use Wave.”
She later added, “I’ve been struck by the really personal nature of communicating and working together in Wave, and the emotional response people have to their first uniquely wavey experience, what we call the ‘Wave a-ha moment.’ . . . You really do have to try it to believe it, though – so if you checked out Google Wave six months ago and found yourself at a bit of a loss, take another look.”
One more product from Google’s stable bites the dust.
