OpenSuSE 10.1 RC1 Arrives

Google finally unveils Calendar

After months of speculation and leaked screenshots, Google finally took the covers off of their new calendaring app. Promising gmail integration, and the ability to work with the iCal format, this could be the answer to alot of people's prayers. Be aware that the Google servers are getting beat to snot today. Right now may not be the best time to go check it out.

Mozilla released a security update to 1.5 (1.5.0.2). This version does have some security and bugfixes but the biggest reason for this update is it now has "Universal" support for the new Intel Mac's. Mac Lover's rejoice ;-)

Microsoft changing their filenames!?!

It appears that when Office 2007 is released all file formats as we know them will change. .doc, .xls, .ppt, etc will all be changed from 3 to 4 letter extensions. You can find the list of Office 2007 file formats on Aviran's Place. Biggest reprocussions I see of this change are: 1. Other 3rd party Office Applications will have to conform to Microsoft's new standard (since they are the leader in the Office market). 2. Anyone using older versions of Microsoft Office or the standalone products will be forced by Microsoft to upgrade since the formats will not be backwards compatible.

Is Windows Virtualization the way to go?

Now after the release of "Boot Camp" there is more more great news for those Windows users: Parallels has just shipped a beta of their Windows virtualization product today. As the rumor mill has it VMware is making the same venture under OS X as well. So no need for "Boot Camp" and dual boot when you can have "speedy" virtualization at your finger tips. Edit:
