Google is soon planning to release a near-last version of the Google Web Toolkit 1.5, software intended to simplify the burdensome parts of writing complicated Web-based software. GWT 1.5 comprises support for Java 5, a version of the Sun Microsystems programming language that was launched in the year 2006, and produces software, which runs about 1.2 to 2 times quicker for complex Web applications, stated Bruce Johnson, Google's engineering manager for GWT.
This fresh software fuels Google's goal of making the Web a much wealthier software environment - a purpose on present this week at the Google I/O meeting in San Francisco. Johnson also considers that the Web is by now "really close" to the abilities of PC as a software foundation. "We've observed that there's no question anymore whether you're going to target the browser or a desktop app. For almost any new exciting app, you're going to target the browser," Johnson said. "For the right set of applications, it's already better than what you can do on the desktop. For extremely low-latency applications, like video editing, I think we're still a couple years out." |

Recently, Google's Co-founder Sergey Brin stated "We have been talking to Yahoo and we are very excited to be working with them." So what are the two giant up to? Well, the tie between two companies could bring up a great advertising powerhouse. Though Microsoft planned to walk away from its decision of acquiring Yahoo, it looks like Yahoo is yet chasing the protective plan of grouping up with Google. The great part for Yahoo is that Google appears to be an eager partner. “We share a lot of values with Yahoo," Stated Brin.
We all know that these two companies are been negotiating the deal but then no clue on how fat the deal is done. The two week testing of advertising program is also been done last month. Google's software did a superior job than Yahoo's at publishing profitable text ads next to search results, and Yahoo is taking into account its options. Using Google's software, other than its own, could boost Yahoo's earnings and fend off another gaining attempt from Microsoft. Actually, part of the cause Microsoft dipped its bid for Yahoo was may be because Yahoo was so fast to edge up to its main contestant and get all cozy. |

Talking to investors yesterday, Windows Live General Manager Brain Hall attempted to get the focus back to what Microsoft is down by own, other than would could have been.
"We've withdrawn the offer and moved on, and now are focused on how we grow as fast as possible organically," Hall said, speaking at a Merrill Lynch technology conference. Pressed further on the statement, Hall said Yahoo would have helped in the e-mail business worldwide--and in the instant-messaging arena in the United States, in particular. |
