In case there was any doubt that today's Google Chrome event would include the reveal of Google's new notebook computers running its Web-based computer operating system, Google itself has begun advertising Chrome notebooks within its Chrome Web browser.At the top of the "new tab" page in Chrome, Google asks Web surfers "Would you like to test drive a Chrome notebook?" Users could either click "Apply Now" or "Close" to dismiss the message.
This appears to be accidental, and the message is no longer showing.

I'd like to take a moment out of your regularly scheduled tech news reading to point out something that just made my day: Google Books has a great "page not found page." It's a "Whale Fail," not a "Fail Whale."The page is a play on words referring to Twitter's "Fail Whale," the well-known "Twitter down" page that became famous - or rather, infamous - during Twitter's heavy growth period back in 2008.

IT savvy users in development, test, training and sales functions adopted the cloud model to accelerate application lifecycle management. With recent innovations in usability and self-service capabilities, functional users in consulting, training, and sales demo areas are becoming the direct, empowered consumers of cloud services with little to no support from IT. Skytap data for 2010 shows actual usage of the Skytap solution grew by 4,00% when compared to last year. Skytap users credit their usage growth to usability and collaboration capabilities, which are delivered in a single cloud solution through Skytap.

One of the more subtle trends of 2010 has been the way that our reading habits have changed, due to a convergence of other Web trends: mobile apps, real-time Web (mostly Twitter), and social networking as a way to track news (mostly Facebook). In the previous era of the Web, the so-called Web 2.0, RSS Readers and start pages were all the rage. Over 2010, though, more people used tools like Twitter, Facebook, Instapaper, Flipboard, LazyWeb, Feedly and TweetDeck, to track news.Nowadays I'm more likely to find stories to read via a vertical aggregator (the media-focused Mediagazer is my current favorite) and save them to Instapaper for later reading via my iPhone or iPad. I still use Google Reader, but in all honesty I now use it more to scan than to read.

Classified document publishing website Wikileaks has now been kicked off of Amazon, Paypal, its DNS server and its Swiss bank account - but it lives on, including across hundreds of mirrored sites and is the subject for widespread discussion on Facebook and Twitter.Site leader Julian Assange is hiding on the run but said to be facing imminent arrest in multiple countries. US Republican party figureheads have reportedly called for him to be hunted down like a Taliban leader and executed. He may very well be named TIME Magazine's Person of the Year for pushing the envelope on questions of technology disruption of media and diplomatic secrecy. Senator Joe Lieberman called on US corporations to stop doing business with Wikileaks but tonight Facebook has issued a statement about its stance: for now at least, Wikileaks can continue publishing updates to supporters on the world's largest social network.

It looks like December 31, 2010 will not mark the end of Google Wave after all. The Apache Software Foundation, the non-profit organization responsible for supporting Apache open source projects, has accepted Google Wave into its incubator program.Google announced in August that it was ending development of the real-time communication and collaboration project due to low user adoption. Since then, it has been working to prepare Wave in a Box, a standalone version that would give developers the functionality of Waves and the ability to run them on their own server.

"The first serious infowar is now engaged," EFF co-founder John Perry Barlow tweeted on Friday. "The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops."And here we are.
In the week since the whistleblower site released its latest round of documents to major global newspapers, the site has been besieged by DDOS attacks (upwards of 10 Gbps at one point), forcing the site offline and hampering its ability to deliver data.

Following the recent government seizure of over 80 websites, there was a certain amount of finger-pointing aimed at ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers - the nonprofit organization tasked with managing IP address spaces and managing top-level domains.ICANN has just issued a statement, saying that it was not responsible for any part of the government actions. "As we have said many times, ICANN was not a party to those actions" by the U.S. Immigation and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), "nor was it a target of them."

"The iPhone is great," I often joke, "right up until you have to make a phone call." Frustrations with dropped calls, missing text messages and overall shoddy AT&T service are legion. Those frustrations are reflected in a new satisfaction survey of 58,000 Consumer Reports readers that ranks AT&T the lowest-scoring cellphone carrier in the U.S. Not only did AT&T score the lowest, it was the only one of the carriers rated that had a significant drop in overall customer satisfaction.

Fast growing lightweight blogging service Tumblr has been down for most of the past day and its users are being mocked for their concern. "Can Tumblr do a Twitter and recover?" laughs economics writer and funny man Paul Kedrosky, for example, on Twitter. "Does anyone outside Bay Area and NYC care? More at 11." How would Kedrosky respond if this was 24 hours of Twitter down time, though? Would we even hear his cries for help? Maybe on Facebook, or more likely on one of his regular CNBC appearances. The point is, one person's silly diversion is another person's life-changing communication channel to the world. That's what Tumblr is to millions of people, and the fact that we suffer withdrawal when our publishing tool of choice goes down isn't just a symbol of our civilization's decline from meaning - it's an illustration of how much things have changed because of these new technologies that have democratized publishing.

There's one great big difference between Internet TV and good, old cable television. Cable television, even at its most complex, is simple - you either subscribe to a channel or you don't. Once you make up your mind, you can sit back, relax, and surf away. Internet TV is a whole other story, with a mountain of different apps vying for your television screen. Luckily, there are a few that do an exceptional job at organizing the sometimes overwhelming variety that is the video catalog available on Internet TV. Here are our picks.

Last week RedMonk's James Governor asked on Twitter: "Software Developers: do you think vertical industry expertise is important to your career?" The responses were interesting. Most seemed to think that vertical experience is important, but a few disagreed. Laurence Hart noted that vertical experience is important for moving into roles other than development. Gareth Rushgrove said yes, but mainly for "taking something that a specific vertical is good at, then applying it to a different vertical." Simon Brown dissented, saying it wasn't important "provided you have the ability to pick up what you need."What do you think? Is vertical experience important for your career?
