Update: Apple has launched its Web app directory.
This story’s still doing the rounds over at the proverbial rumor mill, but we all know it’s coming, so we thought we’d jump on the ol’ bandwagon as many others in Blog Land have already and bring you the news:
Apple’s gonna be launching a Web app directory! For iPhone users! … Yeah!
Hmm, this story seemed exciting just a few hours ago. Yet now the buzz seems to have all but died. [...]

MyQuire is launching an anesthetic for project management at DEMOfall 07. This online tool is designed to provide effective project management capability for all users - not just professionals. There are a score of project tools out there but none that really suit the masses. MyQuire allows users to work the way they naturally do rather than via the constraints and discipline of most tools. This intuitive tool bridges the space between social entertainment and collective productivity. MyQuire provides an [...]

The DEMOfall 07 kickoff has introduced us to another very cool development - Yuuguu and one of its founders Anish Kapoor today. Yuuguu is designed for connecting people remotely through universal screen sharing on PC or mobile devices. The service allows users to share and take control of each other's PC's and devices and it supports virtually any browser.

Just yesterday, the big news was that Google had announced a partnership with IT firm CapGemini in an effort to expand the use of Google Apps in enterprise environments.
This, of course, brought Google even closer to rivaling Microsoft's Office suite, which has now spurred a reaction from the Redmond software giant.

Microsoft has stated that [...]

Just last week, Microsoft executives let known the company’s plan to introduce a number of Web-based applications in the months and years ahead. Already, there’s mention that an office suite may be coming down the pipeline.

Microsoft executives met with financial analysts yesterday, as they do regularly. They wanted let the market folk know after many seasons of shrugs and grumblings that they do in fact notice Google, among other competitors, making significant inroads to supply businesses and individual consumers alike with feature-rich Web-based products and that they intend to transition a number of their own solutions to the Web, as well as offer new services which complement existing localized utilities like those found in [...]

Alright, now [...]
