Top 5 Optimizers technical rumors

The fourth beta of a new version of a popular web browser Mozilla Firefox 3.6, based on a new engine upgrade – Gecko 1.9.2. There has been a lot of new changes, and some of them are worth mentioning: add-ons integration order has been changed to improve Mozilla’s work with third party developed add-ons; a new service has been added – Persona, allowing users to change how browser looks with a single mouse click; full-screen video improved; browser startup boosted along JavaScript runtime speed; latest web-technologies CSS, DOM and HTML5 are now supported.

Since the last week when Google gave the world a glance at its new OS – Google Chrome OS there has been a lot of dispute. The main priority of the netbook operating system were supposed to be emphasizing speed and simplicity, but it surely starts to look now like project’s priorities may be weaknesses. The new OS is simple, so simple that at first glance one can say that it’s just a webbrowser with some additional tools or addons. However the cloud-based model used has the potential for extremely fast computing including boot time. After summing all the things going around at the moment my personal opinion is that it’s probably too tell if it’s a hit or a failure, as we have only seen a peace of the operating system and there sure will be a lot of changes before the official release next year.

An impressive feature of Google’s new Android 2.0 mobile device operating system is Google Maps Navigation, a turn-by-turn navigation application that’s not only free to use, but is fairly easy to learn as well. Its release was a nightmare for GPS manufacturing companies as it basically offers the same information they do, but for free. And since it is connected to Google Maps Navigation System it is perfectly up to date so you don’t need to update your maps yearly. The only problem for Google right now is that this service only runs on Android mobile phones of version 2.0 and higher, and its share in mobile sales is still small at the moment, so GPS manufacturers have some time to come up with ideas on how to compete with Google.
