Google apps goes down three times in less than a week.

While every blog and media has been covering native mobile applications, there's one thing: Android's web browser is based on WebKit, the same engine used in the iPhone, Safari 3 (avalaible both on Windows and Mac), the Google Chrome web browser, Adobe AIR, plus other mobile phones such as Nokia's N60 and E series. For me, the Google Phone hails the supremacy of WebKit, and means that Web Developers should from now on add it to their skills. WebKit has many advantages as both a browser engine and, a converged desktop-mobile device- web server application development platform.

Matt Assay has posted an interesting article arguing the point of view that Google Chrome will have a difficult time catching up Microsoft SharePoint. While everyone is moving to the Web, many will be surprised ot find that Microsoft is already there. Very surprised.

Good article from Matt Assay

"We realized that the Web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications, and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser but also a modern platform for Web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build," writes Sudar Pichai, Google's vice president for product management on the official Google blog.

the growing popularity of cloud computing means corporate data centers will increasingly start to look like Internet data centers. Cisco has already recognized that as the "network" continues to become the focal point around which our digital personal and work lives revolve, the opportunity to make money will be immense. That's why Chambers never misses an opportunity to talk about "collaboration." For instance, in the press release announcing the company's latest numbers, he said: "We believe we are entering the next phase of the Internet as growth and productivity will center on collaboration enabled by networked Web 2.0 technologies." But Cisco isn't the only one with this vision - Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG) are thinking along these lines as well, and are much further ahead in the game.

If the evidence supports the allegations, this is a plausible antitrust theory, a company with a dominant market position leveraging that position into new markets via integration. In essence this is the same theory as that applied against Microsoft's bundling and integration of Windows, Internet Explorer, and Windows Media Player.

Google has came a long way to reach today's success. Many of us probably know fragments of Google's history but not the entire story. Perhaps the video (below) that explains Google's milestone in just 2 minutes will help fill up the gaps in you mind.

"Hoy, día 16 de diciembre de 2014, como había sido ya anunciado, Google ha cerrado en España su servicio Google News, convirtiendo a nuestro país en el primero en el que se ve obligada a tomar una decisión semejante. "

"El algoritmo PageRank no es una idea original de Google. El mérito fue su implementación eficiente en una red de miles de millones de nodos."

"Fuera de España, expertos y medios coinciden en que la aprobación de la tasa Google puede suponer una restricción clara a la libertad de internet en nuestro país. Se incide en la incertidumbre que plantea el texto ratificado el pasado 22 de julio y que está a la espera de la aprobación definitiva y su entrada en vigor."

"Si se aprueba el proyecto de ley de Propiedad Intelectual con el Canon AEDE (Tasa Google) tal como ha sido presentado, el impacto económico sería de 1.133 millones de euros al año para los usuarios de internet en España, ya que el tiempo de búsqueda para acceder a contenidos informativos se incrementaría. Esta es una de las principales conclusiones de un informe elaborado por Analistas Financieros Internacionales (Afi) para la Coalición Pro Internet ( informe completo, PDF), en momentos en que se tramita en el parlamento el texto refundido de la ley de Propiedad Intelectual (LPI) que instaura el "derecho irrenunciable" de los editores de prensa a percibir un canon de los prestadores de servicios electrónicos de agregación.
