KDE loses the acronym in new branding drive

without comments

Following in the footsteps of the GNOME Gnome team, KDE now just stands for KDE. Not the original Kool Desktop Environment. Not even the K Desktop Environment. Just KDE.

I’m not quite sure about renaming the core product, however (and as it turns out, neither is Thom or the Dot community). The desktop environment itself will be renamed “KDE Software Compilation”. It’s only a little wordy. Good luck catching on with that one.

Eight bugs stand between Mac users and Chrome Beta

without comments

And if this is the list, some of the issues are already done. Issue 27490 and Issue 20997, for example, may be going back to Milestone 5. And Issue 21951 is a simple URL fix.

Silverlight on the iPhone… with Apple’s approval?

without comments

This makes no sense whatsoever. Why in the world would Apple accept Silverlight from their biggest competitor and reject Flash from a company that doesn’t inherently compete with Cupertino except photo organizers and video editors?

Oh no! Modern Warfare 2 lets you hurt the civilians!

with one comment

You can shoot civilians in Americas Army, for crying out loud. Why single out MW2?

New Google music service coming soon?

without comments

Google: “Let in Google Voice!”

Apple: “NO!”

Google: “FINE. We’ll go make an infinitely superior music store and eat up your market share.”

At least, that’s what it sounds like. The weird thing is, though, Google already promotes AmazonMP3 on the Android.

Peek: To all you disgruntled Sidekickers, we’ll give you a free Peek (just send in a photo)

without comments

Clever marketing. Clever clever marketing. T-Mobile (which, ironically, carries the Peek) must be fuming.

Still, if I were a Sidekick owner, I doubt I’d switch… the Peek is only for email/texting, remember?
