    Google Chrome remixes worth trying out 25 January, 2012 22:15:40

    Once upon a time there was a browser named Firefox -- an open source project that many people happily picked up and spun off into their own versions with names like Iceweasel and Pale Moon. Now the same thing has happened with Google Chrome. Its open source incarnation, Chromium, has become the basis for a slew of spinoffs, remixes, and alternative versions.

    Speech recognition: Your smartphone gets smarter 17 March, 2011 05:22:00

    When we were kids, my friends and I used to play a game where we fantasized about which technologies from Star Trek were most likely to be real-world inventions within our lifetimes.

    Making money with mobile apps 13 November, 2010 04:51:00

    To many companies and independent developers -- not just software publishers -- mobile apps represent something even more powerful and important than a brand-new platform to deploy apps on.

    Free desktop tools that aren't OpenOffice 05 October, 2010 00:48:00

    Most everyone who's had some experience with free open source software has learned about the OpenOffice.org suite of productivity programs: a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, database, and drawing tool that provide a good deal of the functionality of their commercial counterparts.
