Dentist in Troy | Cosmetic Dentist in Troy | Dentist on Weekends - 0 views

  •  
    Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing few times a week does not mean that you do not need to visit the dentist. If your teeth are not properly cleaned at least once in a year, you run the risk of serious health issues. If you think that you have waited too long to visit your Dentist in Troy, you should recognize at least the symptoms of poor oral health. If you are experiencing any signs below, you need to make a dentist appointment right away.

    An open source framework for building search clustering engines. It can automatically organize small collections of documents, e.g. search results, into thematic categories. Carrot2 can add clustering of search results to an existing search engine. Its algorithms should successfully cluster up to about a thousand text documents, a few paragraphs each.

  • targeted at netbooks
  • working with the open source community
  • share our vision
  • Speed, simplicity and security
  • user interface is minimal
  • out of your way
  • It should just work
  • run on both x86 as well as ARM
  • a new windowing system
  • software architecture is simple
  • Linux kernel

      So I'll probably run Google Chrome OS in VirtualBox on Mac OS X.
    • Graham Perrin
       
      How much memory will be required? I wonder…
  • applications can be written using your favorite web technologies
  • these apps will run
  • on any standards-based browser
  • largest user base
  • designed to power computers ranging from small netbooks to full-size desktop systems
  • Google Chrome OS and Android overlap
  •  
    Simple architecture: * WebKit-based Google Chrome * a new windowing system * Linux kernel. Open source, large developer base, large user base. Smart!

    Applications that are designed for Google Chrome OS should run equally well in any standards based browser. If I do need to run Google Chrome OS on Mac OS X, I'll probably do so in VirtualBox.
  •  
    Thinking about laptops that are gathering dust … the OS will run on x86 or ARM. I wonder about other requirements: * memory * display resolution * etc..
  •  
    A new project, a natural extension of Google Chrome - the Google Chrome Operating System … to re-think what operating systems should be.

  • lessons about where the industry might go
  • Fair warning: this is a long post.
  • In 1969, the Justice Department, ADR, and several others filed antitrust suits
  • IBM agreed to stop bundling free software
  • disaggregation is a natural outcome
  • multiple companies can move faster
  • backlog of potential creativity
  • The OS is dissolving into a soup of resources distributed across both the network and the local device, with the application in the middle calling on both
  • compatibility
  • hybrids of local and network resources
  • gradual evolution of a super-OS that includes both the network and the device
  • we don't have a name for this new thing
  • trouble talking about it
  • I'm calling it the "metaplatform"
  • Although the metaplatform isn't necessarily elegant
  • what it lacks in beauty it more than makes up for in rate of change and versatility
  • technological advances always lead to value chain fragmentation
  • The most effective mobile application are
  • If you've incorporated external web services into your site, the site will break if any of those services stops working
  • We don't have any systematic ways to deal with problems like these
  • a business opportunity for the next crop of software entrepreneurs
  • What the metaplatform means
  • Much of the discussion in this post is pretty theoretical
  • practical implications
  • iPhone today gives (in my opinion) the best overall mobile browsing and app discovery experience
  • APIs that will enable other developers to extend
  • implementation is often off-target
  • trying to make their APIs into the business equivalent of an operating system
  • private ecosystem
  • opening the application outward
  • mixed and matched with other functionality in the metaplatform
  • export data isn’t enough... what springs to mind is open source
  • Lots to think about
  • Clayton Christensen
  • what happens if that company goes out of business or just decides to stop maintaining the product?
  • a framework to predict where most profits will be made

  • ...16 more annotations...
  • the first round clearly goes to Wave
  • collaborative technology that blurs the lines between email, wiki, SMS and Twitter
  • Wave integrates many of the features of disparate systems in common use
  • application programming interfaces would make it easier for third-parties to customise web applications
  • Microsoft's Bing, launched under the NineMSN banner in Australia
  • a shift from discrete applications to just one to handle all communications
    • Graham Perrin
       
      This is almost certainly too much for me to swallow.
    • Graham Perrin
       
      I like discrete applications.
  • ultimately it would mean a user could save all their work in the browser and dump it on the intertubes when they go back online
  • waves worked best on standards-compliant, Webkit browsers
  • emails (which could be translated between languages in real time) to a wave user
  • wave that was turned back into an e-mail
  • The same held true for instant messages and tweets
  • getting people to change their rusted-on habits
  • Microsoft's hand may have been moved by the launch of Wolfram|Alpha
