When you’re a huge web company, and you choose a name for something as important as a new programming language, you should take great care to investigate whether the name is already taken. Apparently, Google didn’t do that. Frank McCabe, a developer working at San Jose, Calif.-based Starview Technologies, has created a programming language and named it Go years ago. In fact, he published a research paper about it in 2004, and devoted an entire book to it, named “Lets Go” in 2007. In an e-mail to Information Week, McCabe said he doesn’t own a trademark on the language, but he’s not happy about Google choosing the name Go nevertheless. “It takes a lot of effort to produce a reasonably well-designed language. I am concerned that the ‘big guy’ will end up steam-rollering over me. I do not have resources to invest in legal action; but do not intend to let Google keep the name without them being explicit that they are steam-rollering over us,” he says. If the folks at Google who named the language didn’t know about the other “Go”, they were careless. If they knew about it and decided to name their language “Go” anyway, it sounds like a big company not caring much about the little guy. After all, how many names are taken when it comes to programming languages? Perhaps a couple hundred? Surely Google could have chosen another name. Google hasn’t given a definitive answer to this problem yet. So far, their spokesman merely said they “recently became aware of the Go! issue and are now looking into the matter further.” But ignoring the issue definitely won’t go well with Google’s oft quoted mantra – “Don’t be evil”.

Although YouTube has been supporting videos in high definition for at least a year now, the resolution has heretofore topped out at 720p. Without getting too far into the technical nitty gritty, 1080p is a higher resolution format made up of more vertical “lines,” resulting in a higher quality image. It’s also referred to as “full HD” or “true high-definition” because 1080p is currently the maximum resolution that anything supports (well, almost). Beginning next week, YouTube will be adding 1080p supportto its video playback options.Of course, as with other high definition playback formats, you’ll need to have 1080p quality video going in to get the proper quality coming back out. But a growing number of consumer video cameras are now supporting the true HD format, so it makes sense that YouTube would want to up the stakes in terms of quality.Good news for videographers who’ve already uploaded 1080p quality video in the past, too — YouTube will be re-encoding your videos for you to allow playback at the proper true HD resolution. They also plan to prominently feature great examples of 1080p videos in an upcoming homepage spotlight, so if you have some footage that really shows off what true high resolution can do, now is the time to upload it.Does your video camera record at 1080p? Will you be using the new true high definition feature when it launches next week? [Image courtesy of Michael Gauthier]Reviews: YouTubeTags: 1080p, full HD, hd, video, youtube
Location is quickly becoming all the rage. Twitter has started to attach location to tweets(and a host of applications are expected to soon support the functionality), Foursquare has quickly expanded to new cities, and Loopt continues to expand to new platformsand carriers.Now, WordPress is getting into the game, by letting bloggers that host their sites on WordPress.com automatically attach their location to individual blog posts. Doing so will also make your post searchable by location, so other users can find blog posts from specific places.WordPress says that there’s more to come in the way of location features. In a blog post, the company writes, “we’ll gradually roll out more geotagging features, such as showing the location of your commenters, the location of poll votes, a live map view of blog updates on WordPress.com, or an annual report showing you where your posts were written and where your comments came from.”Although maybe not as likely to spawn offline networking in the real-time way that Twitter and Foursquare can (you still have to write a blog post versus a tweet), attaching location could have interesting implications for searching out blog posts in a specific area, especially when news breaks there. Profiles can also be tagged, so if you want to find other WordPress users in your area, you can. Do you think attaching location to blog posts will be valuable? Share your thoughts in the comments.Reviews: Foursquare, Twitter, WordPressTags: blogging, location, Wordpress
One of the promises of Google’s Android operating system has always been that it need not stay confined to powering cell phones. That’s already starting to come to fruition, with an Android netbook on the way from Acerand both the Barnes & Noble Nookand the Spring Design AlexeReaders also launching soon with Android under the hood (thought apparently it’s no accident the latter two devices are so similar).Now there’s anotherAndroid device on deck that’s not a phone, dubbed Vega. Made by Seattle-based company Innovative Converged Devices, the Vega is a tablet-like device with a detachable stand to prop it up, running Android 2.0 (the same version used in the Motorola Droid).The device, slated to launch in the first half of 2010, will actually come in three sizes: 7, 11 and 15-inches. It will support connectivity via Wi-Fi as well as 3G, and be available at reportedly “low cost” (read: subsidized) from major carriers throughout North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Designed to be put to flexible use throughout the home, the Vega will feature high-definition entertainment and a touchscreen along with a webcam, Bluetooth support, accelerometer, 512MB RAM and storage via microSD. The brain of the machine will be NVIDIA’s Tegra processor, a high-powered combination CPU and graphics chip that was designed for low power consumption and long battery life.There’s no word on what that “low cost” price may be, and it may end up varying by carrier as well (no word on whether you’ll be able to buy it outright without 3G yet, either). Nonetheless, the Vega is certainly an interesting entrant into the once again nascent tablet device playing field, with the Apple Tabletand the Microsoft Courierbeing the two hot tablets that no one will admit are real yet.Check out a few more images of the Vega below. Do you see a place for these tablet devices in the home? What would the price need to be for you to pick one up? Would you rather it run Android, Mac OS X, Windows, or something else?[via VentureBeat]Reviews: Android, BluetoothTags: 3g, android, ICD, Tablet, vega
The war of words between Verizon and AT&T continues. In case you haven’t been following, it all started with Verizon’s “There’s a Map for That” ads mocking AT&T’s coverage. Recently, AT&T sued Verizonover the ads, but that didn’t stop the latter from continuing the campaign in a new holiday campaign.Now, AT&T is out with a statement, because Verizon’s ads “are so blatantly false and misleading, that we want to set the record straight about AT&T’s wireless data coverage.”The issue primarily stems from the coverage map in the commercials that make it appear as if AT&T doesn’t cover huge portions of the US, though in reality, the map only shows 3G coverage areas. In its statement, AT&T says that 75% of the country is covered by its 3G service, and virtually everyone is covered by either EDGE or GPRS. AT&T also points out that it’s the #1 network for smartphones and has the most wireless apps, though that’s obviously in large part due to it being the exclusive provider of the iPhone. That may change next year, as in what would be an ironic twist of fate, Verizon is rumoredto be bringing the device to its network.In case you haven’t seen them, here are a couple of the Verizon ads that has AT&T all hot and bothered:There’s a Map for ThatMisfit ToysTags: apple, att, iphone, verizon
Shashank Nigam is the CEO of SimpliFlying.com, an award-winning blog on airline branding. He tweets at @simpliflying. Special thanks to @Z_simpliflyingfor his contribution to this article.Twitter has a huge aviation community — from airlines and airports, to cabin crew and aviation enthusiasts. Whether you like to fly planes or just watch planes fly, there are lots of aviation geeks on Twitter with whom you can converse about your passions. Many of these interesting tweeps are tapping into Twitter’s real-time network to offer up travel tips, airline recommendations (or warnings), and an inside look at life in the cockpit (or cabin).This list has 28 great aviation geeks to follow on Twitter, however please feel free to suggest others in the comments (or if you tweet about things that fly, leave your own Twitter info). This list is presented in no particular order.13 Aviation Journalists/Bloggers on TwitterAviation journalists are a rare breed, and a group of people that some might think lead exotic lives they wing around the globe covering the field of flight. The following list of bloggers and journalists all cover the travel and aviation industries with aplomb and tweet passionately about flying. 1. @BenetWilson– One of the aviation journalism “legends” of our time, Benet Wilson has an amazing amount of knowledge about the industry and it is always a pleasure to tweet with her.

Benet currently writes on business aviation for Aviation Week.2. @flyingwithfish– Steve Frischling is an ace photographer turned travel guru. His advice on how to pack light or travel safe is invaluable. I personally love the travel iPhone App reviews he does at his blog, Flying with Fish. His tweets are a perfect blend of photo tips, travel tips and views on airlines.3. @danwebbage– Dan Webb is a wunderkind, who’s quite an aviation freak. Still a college student, he does an outstanding job blogging passionately about the industry over at the Things in the Skyblog.

He blogs at InventorSpotand works with travel and hospitality companies around the world. He has over 5,000 followers on Twitter.5. @aschonland– Addison Schonland hosts the very popular IAG Podcast. He’s one of the most forward-thinking Gen X persons I’ve known, and is always brimming with great ideas about the next big thing in aviation. His tweets are very inspiring.6. @BLRAviation– No one knows Indian aviation better than Devesh Aggarwal. Once a million-miler with Singapore Airlines, he’s now based out of Bangalore and runs the Bangalore Aviationblog. The insights and statistics on Indian aviation that he shares on Twitter are a revelation. He also knows the best kebab places in Bangalore (and has taken me to some of them, too!).7. @RunwayGirl– Mary Kirby adds the oomph factor to aviation geeks on Twitter! No one knows in-flight entertainment and equipment better than her, and she gives us the ins and outs of what’s in the plane, from wifi to the IFE.

She writes for Flight International at RunwayGirl.8. @crankyflier– The self-acclaimed “airline dork,” Brett Snyder is probably one of the most famous aviation bloggers, having worked in a travel agency when ee was a teenager and been totally “into” airlines ever since. His insights on his CrankyFlierblog and on Twitter are daring, straight-forward, and always make you stop and think. He has very intriguing perspectives on the industry.9. @flightblogger– How can this list be complete without mentioning probably the only Boeing outsider who often knows more than the insiders? Jon Ostrower is the FlightBloggerand tweets about the latest Boeing updates. Even Boeing employees read his blog and tweets to keep up to date with the latest developments in the company.10. @rickseaney– Rick Seaney is the CEO of FareCompare.com who’s often quoted by the mainstream media about the latest in aviation. He’s a world class aviation expert who not only tweets about fare drops and deals to grab, but also some very unique happenings in aviation, like how Air New Zealand aims to turn Economy Class seats into beds. No wonder he’s the media’s go-to guy for all things air travel — he’s got the answers. And he loves to share his knowledge, in real-time, on Twitter.11. @MiddleSeat– Scott McCartney writes The Wall Street Journal’s “Middle Seat” column and is the author of the new book “The Wall Street Journal Guide to Power Travel: How to Arrive with Your Dignity, Sanity, and Wallet Intact.” He’s got very refreshing perspectives on the latest happenings in aviation, and if you can’t keep up with his column, do read his tweets.12. @TodayintheSky– USA Today’s Ben Mutzabaugh has created a reputation for intriguing analysis on the latest aviation happenings.

And he writes very helpful articles on travel, as well. One of my favorites is how social media can help your vacation travel. 10 Airline Crew TweepsPeople often do not talk about the individuals that actually make an airline work. Not the corporate executives, but the group that work closely with passengers day in day out — the airline crew. Twitter’s aviation community counts among its numbers a bunch of airline crew tweeps that you can follow. Listen to their adventures, joys, and grievances in being at the forefront of such an industry, perhaps tweeted from a jumpseat.14. @Heather_Poole– Heather Poole is by far one of the most popular airline crew members on Twitter. She has worked for a major US carrier for fourteen years, spending most of that time flying back and forth between New York and Los Angeles. She gives a very candid view on what it’s like to fly on her blog and why she says “it’s like [working] inside a germ infested petri dish.” Heather also has a huge following for her #laviatorsinitiatives, in which people take photos inside an airplane lavatory and post it online. She has over 6,500 followers on Twitter and writes in the Gossip Galley column for Gadling.com.15. @flygirl737700– Laura Groves is a major airline pilot and probably the only one with an M.A. in Byzantine art.

Although his professional experience in the airline industry is not as extensive as some others, he has a really popular blog and podcast where he not only writes about his adventures on Emirates, but also the latest happenings on the region’s other carriers.18. @TraytablesTrvls– This 20-something Australian flight attendant for an international airline also authors a travel blog, “In case of emergency…” Planning to trot the globe over the coming year and to learn more about the people of the world as well as himself, he shares his travel experiences from the jump-seat with a lot of passion.19. @flyheatherfly– Heather M is a flight attendant based in Germany and shuttles frequently between Europe and the USA. Though she laughs at the notion of the “glamorous life” of cabin crew members, Heather is a genuine travel enthusiast whose hobby is probably collecting stamps in her passport. She still has a relatively small following on Twitter (which is bound to grow), but she is a seasoned and avid documenter of her travels.20. @skysteward– Gailen David is “The Sky Steward” and has flown for a major US airline for over twenty years. In addition to flying as a member of the crew, Gailen also flies regularly for business as a passenger and has even earned AAdvantage Platinum status with American Airlines, so he sees things from both sides.

The long speculated upon (but still unconfirmed) Apple Tabletmight be still under wraps, but a patent filingreleased todayreveals that Apple is busy working on some sort of tablet functionality. The patent application revolves around digital ink recognition techniques for a pen-aware tablet.As Unwired View notes, the application is more about a process to better interpret digital ink recognition rather than being about a tablet itself. Apple’s technology looks like it recognizes full pen ink phrases instead of separate line strokes. Still, Apple uses the word “tablet” frequently in the application. So there’s that. Would pen aware support be something you’d like to see in an Apple tablet? Let us know!Tags: Apple Tablet, digital ink, patent, Tablet
Earlier this week, LinkedIn made a splash when it announced that Twitter and LinkedIn status updates can now be synced. LinkedIn users could tweet from their status updates by checking a Twitter checkbox, while Twitter users could update their LinkedIn status by adding the hashtag #li or #in.While we thought that users would latch onto the new feature, we never imagined it would do this. According to LinkedIn, status updates on LinkedIn have increased by 25%. Not only that, but at its peak yesterday, 200 users were linking their Twitter and LinkedIn accounts every minute.Not bad, LinkedIn. Not bad. Still, the important stat is just how much growth this new partnership spurs for both sites. After looking at this month’s stats, it would appear that Twitter, at least, could use a bit of a boost.Reviews: LinkedIn, TwitterTags: linkedin, twitter
As social media becomes more pervasive, it’s becoming a frequently common practice for movie studios to use sites like Facebook and Twitter to connect with plans.Tim Burton’s 3D epic “Alice in Wonderland” doesn’t hit theaters until March 2010, but Walt Disney Pictures is already utilizing social media to spread the word about it. Disney started a Facebook campaign for the film in July and this week has used the service to show off two new posters from the film (a third is on the way).In July, Disney created fan pagesfor three of the characters in the film and offered fans of the most popular character early access to the film’s first teaser. If you’ll recall, that plan was somewhat thwarted when early copies made their way onto the weba day in advance.The Mad Hatter (played by Johnny Depp in the film) was the most popular fan page, so it’s no surprise that his page has received the most updates. On Monday and Wednesday, Disney posted updates to the Mad Hatter’s page, showing off new poster designs and linking users to even higher quality images on Flickr. You can see both posters hereand here. Studios usually offer up press materials to media publications and movie blogs, who then disseminate that information to the fans. Offering this sort of publicity info directly to the interested public — using social media channels — is a pretty new concept.For Disney, it might be all about recognizing that the target audience for “Alice in Wonderland” is Internet savvy and connected with social media. Thus, it makes sense to make a direct connection for some of this material and in effect, brand more of the buzz.What do you think about how movie studios use social media with publicity campaigns?

Two days ago Google announced its Go programming languageproject, and we should perhaps be unsurprised to find that one of the first user programs to emerge from the new language is… a Twitter client.Bear in mind it’s a very simple and utilitarian client that runs from the command line — not a nice and flashy graphical user interface version like TweetDeck or Seesmic Desktop. Still, it speaks to both the apparent ease of use of both Go and to the elegant simplicity of Twitter that a new language could be learned and a client whipped up in all of two days.You can download the source code for Mac OS X and Linux from the project’s websiteand check it out or modify it. If there are programmers in the house, please feel free to drop a comment and compare how this version stacks up to other implementations of command line Twittering.We’re looking forward to seeing what else people cook up with Go.

Google is apparently in the early stages of a research project that appears to aim as high as perhaps replacing the HTTP protocol, the fundamental technology that essentially makes the World Wide Web possible.In a somewhat obscure post on the Chromium blog, the development branch of their Chrome browser, Google reveals they’ve been working on a new protocol dubbed SPDY for “SPeeDY” for its goal of making the web faster.While HTTP is an “elegantly simple protocol” that has powered the web since 1996, the tone of Google’s post is almost patronizing, as if HTTP were our doddering old uncle that’s had his day and needs to be put out to pasture. Then again, Google’s hubris is perhaps warranted as one of the only companies with enough clout and resources to indeed spur on the “evolution of websites and browsers” with an entirely new protocol designed to speed up the communication between web servers and clients.They reveal they’ve already got a prototype web server and a Chrome client with built-in SPDY support that they’ve been testing in the lab. With these tools they’ve reportedly been able to see an up to 55% speed increase in page loading, and feel like the project is now stable enough to warrant soliciting feedback from the web community. The SPDY documentationis now available, as well as the source code. Google encourages feedback on the new protocol in the Chromium Google Group.What do you think, is Google onto something in thinking the basic protocol underpinning the web needs a refresh? Is it time to focus on the need for speed? Let us know in the comments.[Image courtesy of Tecfre]Reviews: Chrome, GoogleTags: chrome, Google, HTTP, protocols, SPDY, trending, web

But Microsoft is working on building out those controls, so Twitter, Facebook and last.fm should become available to teen Xbox 360 users within a few weeks.Have you had a chance to check out the new features in the preview yet?

Besides going into beta modein December, social media-enabled media center Boxee has some other great news in store: it will be getting its own dedicated hardware devicesoon too.Right now in alpha Boxee runs on Mac, Linux and Windows systems — but a dedicated device likely means a far cheaper hardware option and will obviate the need to devote an entire machine to running Boxee in your living room setup. Boxee will be showing off mockups and divulging more details about the forthcoming box at their Beta Unveiling event December 7in New York.For now the company isn’t saying who the partner in the consumer electrics space is, so it will be interesting to find out who is helping them develop the box. CEO Avner Ronen mentioned in the announcement post that during the Boxee alpha unveiling at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year they were approached, perhaps unsurprisingly, by a number of manufacturers interested in getting Boxee embedded into some sort of hardware device, whether their own existing set-top boxes or a new dedicated device for Boxee.Eventually the vision is to be able to bake in Boxee support to any connected device in the living room, which now includes a wide array of devices from set-top boxes to Blu-Ray players to game consoles to internet-enabled televisions. It’s a smart, platform-agnostic strategy that hopes to ensure Boxee’s place as a major player in the living room as we continue along the trajectory towards internet TV (and with it, social TV).Do you use Boxee?
