The first Web browser to garner mainstream acceptance among the Internet’s earliest users (in the general consumer sector, that is), Netscape Navigator has been slated for final decommissioning come February 1, 2008. The news of the program’s imminent departure was released late last week by its current owner, AOL.
As much as we knew Navigator’s time would come to face permanent retirement, it saddens us a bit that the legendary utility, which once was said to saturate roughly 90% of [...]

Word in the Valley has it that some execs at AOL are thinking of killing the social news system established some time ago at Netscape.com to rip off compete with Digg. Apparently, it hasn’t reached the level of success they believed it would many months back, and think it’d be better simply to direct Netscape.com visitors to the traditional portal originally established at the domain, rather than having to seek out Netscape.AOL.com.
Here’s to hoping the rumors are [...]

Google's made many headlines lately, but today one particular announcement by the company shadowing almost all others. We say almost, because the biggest elephant in the room remains the Google-DoubleClick deal. $3.1bn is one card that’s really very difficult to trump.

One thing I assume must be the case, though, is that some of the folks [...]

One of the most innovative and interesting startups from the Web 2.0 Expo is a comprehensive development environment called Bungee Connect from Bungee Labs. This on-demand web development tool allows for the building and deployment of a large number of APIs onto the Internet. The scope of this service is vast, but perhaps the most attractive aspect of the utility is that Web developers actually only pay for the service once their application is making money.
Essentially, Bungee Connect enables [...]

In the third quarter of 2007, a project five years in the making is set to launch. Xcerion, a small Swedish company, has plans to release a free XML-based OS (XIOS) that will run inside a browser. XIOS has an extremely small footprint, with an initial 2 MB download to install. Running in a sandbox, it should be virtually immune to most of the malware created for current operating systems. Such a system would eliminate current OS hardware and software [...]
