Microsoft's Next OS To Be Called "Windows 7"
Microsoft has announced that the latest version of Windows, due in the next couple of years, will be called - drumroll please - Windows 7. It’s about time Microsoft adopted a naming system that might actually make some sense to users, but I can’t wait for hordes of customers to start asking if they somehow missed Windows 1 through 6.
Windows has had one of the most ridiculous naming schemes in the history of software. First there were logical (but ugly) version numbers, like the once commonplace “Windows 3.1″. Then with the release of the overhauled Windows 95 the company adopted a naming system based on the year of release, which it continued until Windows 98.
Windows Me (perhaps the worst operating system I’ve ever used), sacrificed the scheme for a chance to be clever (it stood for “me” and the millennium at the same time!) Next up we hit Windows XP, which has served most of us reasonably well since 2001. It sounds sort of cool, it’s catchy, and we have no idea what it means. Fine.
Finally we had Windows Vista, which seemed to stick with the naming convention of “something that sounds sort of cool” but didn’t really mean anything. It had been more than five years since the release of XP, so there was little chance of confusion.
Microsoft is now in a hurry to push out its next operating system after the generally dismal response to Vista. And so we’ve come to Windows 7, which is apparently tied to the build numbers and not the actual releases.
The new naming scheme lends itself well to faster, more incremental releases similar to what we’ve seen from Apple (about once every 18 months), but it’s probably going to confuse everyone and couldn’t be more bland.
You can read more at the company’s blog post here.

IncrediMail 5.85.3813
Name: IncrediMail 5.85.3813
Released: 2008
The result of all this would be that most ordinary letter to turn into this work of art (unless, of course, you do not overdo effect) with your personal signature - built-in editor allows vytvoryat and not so (incidentally, this option can be very useful for training blanks "business" letters). The appearance of the program is also unusual - cheerful colorful and, moreover, it is amenable to change through the skin, unusually, and that the program used for voice synthesizer reporting accounts for almost, and other events.

YUI 2.6.0 Released
Nate Koechley has announced YUI 2.6.0 final:
2.6.0 introduces a new Carousel Control, offers the Paginator Control for general use (it was previously bundled with DataTable), includes more than 450 total fixes, enhancements and optimizations, graduates eight components out of “beta,” and now ships with more than 290 functional examples.
To go along with the carousel and paginator controls, you will also find details on updates too: TreeView, Calendar, Rich Text Editor, Drag & Drop, Uploader, DataTable, AutoComplete, and Container.
With Christian around, you can be sure that accessibility is taken seriously, and we see improvements there:
We’ve continued to work hard to make YUI accessible. The Carousel, Button, Menu, TabView, and Container all have enhanced accessibility support in addition to what’s otherwise noted in this blog post. We continue to count accessibility amongst our highest priorities; stay tuned for a few more blog posts on the topic in the coming days and weeks.

Jajah Launches Instant Chinese/English Voice Translation
Jajah, a popular VoIP service provider, has released a new English/Chinese translation service called JAJAH.Babel just in time for the Olympic Games. The service, which was developed in conjunction with IBM, allows users to call a free number to get a near-instant translation of spoken sentences. The service isn’t meant for voice calls abroad - instead, it’s a handheld translator. After speaking your message into the phone, you hand it to the person you’re speaking with, and the phone spits out the translated message.
Using the service is fairly simple, and should work from any phone line:
How does JAJAH.Babel work? From English to Chinese or in reverse:Dial JAJAH.Babel from any phone. U.S. local access number: +1.718.513.2969Choose which language you want your message translated into (either English to Chinese or Chinese to English)Say your message and press #You will be able to confirm that your message was properly understood by the system.The message will automatically be played back in Chinese. If you wish, simply hand your phone to the other person or put the phone on loudspeaker so they hear the message.The other person can then record a message in Chinese, following the steps above, and you will hear their message in English.
To help test the service I recruited TechCrunch intern Matthew Schulz, who is fluent in Chinese. His conclusion was that it worked surprisingly well. The translation from English to Chinese sounded a little bit awkward, but the meaning was obvious. As for speech detection, the service had some trouble when he spoke Chinese in his normal tone, but when he enunciated a bit more than usual the results were almost perfect.
For now, the service is limited to translations between English and Chinese Mandarin, but the companies plan to release new languages in the near future. You can get more information about the service along with more local access numbers here.

Twitterfone Releases Full Audio Interface For Twitter
Today Twitterfone will start converting your Twitter messages to audio, too, giving users a full audio interface to the service. As of today, when you call Twitterfone the service offers to let you record a new message, listen to messages from your friends, and reply to messages publicly or privately. Users can listen to the first ten messages.
For now, only English is supported, but Japanese is next up. The service is free and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
If you are a Twitterer, you’re gonna love this. Below is a quick demo video I did via Qik that shows the functionality.

PIMOne v5.35
By creating PIMOne, its developers decided not to reinvent the wheel, but simply copy the interface with a paper organizer. Thus, on the first page of the programme arranged assignments and meetings to date, and all the additional features are hidden for bookmarks right, as in the conventional notebook. And although after the impressive C-Organizer appearance PIMOne no longer amazes imagination, it is an example of this programme can not be a better assessment of all the benefits of transition from traditional paper-based organizer at its electronic analog - "seamless" integration with the browser and mail client not seen in the speed and instant retrieval of data. Is that a laptop computer or a unesesh not as easily as notebook.

ZZEE PHPExe, Compile PHP Scripts into Windows GUI Exes
ZZEE has released ZZEE PHPExe 1.0 for Windows, a program that compiles PHP, HTML, Javascript and other web files into Windows GUI exes. Now programmers can rapidly develop Windows GUI applications by employing the familiar PHP web paradigm. Developers can use the same code for online and Windows applications with little or no modification.
Simple GUI interface of the compiler makes it easy to create and maintain projects. ZZEE PHPExe also integrates an encoder, so end-users see neither the compiled-in web tree, nor source of PHP, javascript and other files. The runtime which includes a webbrowser, a webserver and PHP 5 is as small as 2.1 Mb. Compiled applications run on Windows Vista / XP / 2000.
ZZEE PHPExe costs $199(US) for a single user license with free upgrades. For more information and to download a trial version visit the ZZEE web site at
