Om writes about X-PDA, a mobile VoIP client that it can work with independent VoIP services such as Vonage and Broadvoice.
Update: Just received this correction from CounterPaths p.r. agency:
On April 22, 2007, it was reported that CounterPath Solutions, Inc. released a new mobile VoIP client in Europe called X-PDA. This information is false. CounterPath Solutions, Inc. has not recently launched a mobile VoIP client, nor does it sell or support a product named X-PDA. CounterPath Solutions, Inc. is not affiliated with Global IP Telecommunications.

Im not sure how affluent ChipLand readers are. But I assume you are well off, since you can afford a computer and some form of Internet access. But, according to News.coms Michael Kanellos, its possible that youve made more money in your career than AMD has in its lifetime. Mr. Kanellos, in a column (not a news story) examining AMDs history of financial losses (link: here), claims hes been able to personally make more money than AMD. On a reporters salary to boot. Granted, Mr. Kanellos is figuring in for AMDs acquisition-related costs, such as those as...

At SAPs Sapphire, SAP laid MySAP to rest and resurrected it as SAP ERP 6.0. Its merely a name change and will have no implication for customers, said Philip Say, vice president of European marketing and sales. "MySAP was of the dot.com era, and was an artifact of 2005, when the product name was conceived," he said. At least we still have MyYahoo to remind us of those early days of the Web.

Is Office 2007 a case against Linux?

Have you used Office 2007 yet? Its quite a bit different from Office 2000 and 2003, but, in my opinion, its a pretty spectacular leap forward. This has been well-document elsewhere, but is quite a shift that the blogosphere cant quite capture as well as first-hand use. It is, in fact, enough of a leap forward that I dont believe OpenOffice, as an Office 200x clone, can compete. OpenOffice is a great product, is free, and seamlessly cross-platform. However, the biggest reason Im continuing to use Vi...

SAP doesnt yet offer Web 2.0-style social networking capabilities in its solutions that tap into the wisdom of employees, partners and customers, but it has an internal service, called Harmony. Dennis Moore, general manager of emerging systems, called it a "MySpace for the enterprise," speaking at SAP Sapphire in Atlanta. It starts with SAP employee profiles in the HR system, which serve as a foundation for connecting employees professional and personal interests. "It started out as a a network for the top talent group of employees. Now it is expanded to all employees. We a...

Gartner: Wake up IT managers, youre mediocre (at best)

Technology managers are mired in mediocrity, wait for technology vendors to innovate and fear being a first mover. The result: The U.S. doesnt innovate and CIOs risk becoming extinct.
That sobering message was delivered by Gartner analyst Steve Prentice.
"Now is not the time for complacency or mediocrity," said Prentice, opening up the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo in a keynote in San Francisco. "This industry is in danger of becoming one of failure. Weve come to accept mediocrity as the norm. Its not a lack of technology or skills. The problem comes down ...

A robotic jewelry polishing system
Posted by Roland Piquepaille @ 9:45 am
Categories: Robotics, Engineering Innovation
Tags:
If you live in Rapid City, South Dakota, and if you bring one of your old rings to a jewelry shop for cleaning, its highly possible that the job might be done by a robotic jeweler. An engineer at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT) has built and brought to market a robotic system which can pick up a ring, polish and grind the ring, and replace the ring in its original tray before picking up the next ring. And of course, its able to do this faster than a human being: it can function about three times faster than a human operator when configured as a grinder and about four times faster when configured as a pre-polishe...

DirectX 10 for Windows XP?
Posted by Adrian Kingsley-Hughes @ 9:17 am
Categories: Gaming
Tags:
Microsoft has always claimed that DirectX 10 is an integral part of Windows Vista and cannot be implemented into other operating systems. However 19 year old Cody Brocious, a software reverse-engineerfrom San Diego, California, claims to have create a wrapper for Windows executables that make use of DirectX 10, allowing them to be used on operating systems other than Windows Vista.
Writing on the Alky Project blog, Brocious says:
As a fitting start to this blog, Im proud to release a preview of our DirectX 10 compatibility libraries. These libraries allow the use of DirectX 10 games on platforms other than Microsoft Vista, and increase hardware compatibility ev...

Test the new Google result page
Posted by Garett Rogers @ 9:16 am
Categories: Google, Usability

There is a brand new design being tested for Googles result pages. My opinion? I love it. Everything is where it should be, and it has a more modern feel with the subtle gradient effect in the title and footer bar. The best part is that you dont need anything special to give it a test drive.
Simply paste the following code into your browser while you are on a result page to try it out (I added a few spaces for formatting purposes remove them before you try):
javascript:document.cookie = "PREF=ID=fddb01133a87d314: LD=en:CR=2:TM=1177334998:LM=1177334998: GM=1:S=OOg0FEVzpPplxe9J; path=/; domain=.google.com"
I am impressed with this look, and I hope som...

Can Google win at Local? That is the $39 billion advertising question.
Just as Google’s AdWords fueled billions can readily drive a multi-billion dollar takeover of the online display advertising market, in other words a DoubleClick buyout, Google’s spare cash can easily subsidize free local directory assistance service, in other words GOOG 411.
Last month I asked When will Google Local reap $39 billion local ad sales opportunity?, noting that while CEO Eric Schm...
