We woke up today with new news for those who use the Google online office suite, Google Docs is that many users use their handsets to work from it and Google could not let the opportunity to launch a document viewer without the need for download any of them and occupy memory.

So, Google Docs Viewer is available to users with terminals Android, iPhone and IPAD, provided that they brought into the address bar of your browser the following address: docs.google.com

It would also be more than the company began to think of an online publisher of the documents that we store on our account, because with the trend that we have lately in the market with enough terminals and possible Oversized Tablets that appear on the market, would all a point in favor of Big Brother on the network.

Although Barcelona, Google showed this feature, which could only translate texts from German, is far from the Android Market when we have the latest service updates Google Goggles, which from a photograph taken with our terminal with operating system and application installed, we can get enough information.

But in this presentation and update, Google has sought to provide Goggles capacity to translate texts from a photograph. The example I have found very successful. You never have traveled and have had to ask a waiter what the hell was what it said or what was that dish?

Surely, after the response, you may have been sweet pulp thinking "if I knew the translation would these things." Well that's exactly what Google Goggles is concerned, take a picture of a text and translation will be simultaneous from your terminal. Yes, Goggles does not recognize any language, although we assume that will increase with the updates. Currently you can read Spanish, English, German, Italian and French and can translate a few more.

Layar The policy states that for every sale developers will retain 60%, which leaves Layar with a good profit on each transaction. Other companies like Apple are left with only 30% of sales in the App Store so you have to see how well received this policy is for developers.

The method of payment is PayPal and now this market layer is only available in the U.S., UK, Canada and Australia.

Adobe is participating very actively in the development of plugins for their platforms on mobile devices, and Android are a good opportunity, after Apple to let them out of the game with the restrictions on the iPhone / IPAD. That's why developing for Android is something that is being taken seriously, including many testers.

For now know there is a beta version of Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2.0, both for operating system hosted by Google, however, the builds of these betas are closed and only a few developers can access for now. However, it is expected to soon be available on a public beta, although there is no estimated date for this to happen.

While it is possible suscribise to a list to receive information about the launch of these products in Android.

It is curious that now Adobe is worried about the optimization of Web content on mobile phones, because after the criticism of Apple on the performance of Flash, it seems that they are finally ready to improve on that. And what is needed, for even in desktop computers sometimes Flash requires too many resources.

Dribbble is an experiment that combines concepts we've seen before on the one hand it is a gallery of images uploaded by designers in order to show their work to others (and in the process receive feedback or feedback) and other front is also a small social network. This dynamic is very simple and actually fun, because you can find very good work by other users. The gallery is composed of Shots (screenshots) that have a size of 400 × 300 pixels. Every time a person climbs a Shot, others can comment on that image or you can make a catch with the option I like. The profile of each person can view the favorite Shots and a little information about the individual.

Each user is limited to 24 Shots per month increase, which seems small, but if we consider that Dribbble is a site that is starting, it may be a matter of scalability, and in the future we may see this restriction removed.

For now you can not create an account on this site, unless a user to invite us, as the registration process has been limited to invitation only, although there are many people interested in, is good to limit the activity at first especially for performance.

Google is unstoppable in terms of shopping, and more and more companies added to its portfolio of acquired entities. This occasion has purchased a video platform called Episodic, who had a role in providing tools for those in the field of broadcasting and transmission of events in high definition (HD), such as sporting events. Besides offering a platform for on-demand videos, Episodic offered its customers a sort of Google Analytics on each video, to record the user activity. The number of observers, the time spent watching video, place of origin, connection speed, geographic location, etc..

In conjunction with the statistics module, Episodic made available to users, a system of monetization of content, through advertisements in the videos (such as in YouTube). Given these characteristics, it is logical to assume that the backend of Episodic YouTube will reinforce in many tasks where the site is weak.

No details were specified on the transaction (do not know what was the final purchase price), but it is clear that Google is going around in terms of Internet videos.

When we heard the price available to the application of Wolf Alpha for iPhone, we all get the hands to the head and is to pay $ 50 for a App, was the suicide of the company, where more than confident that we would not succeed. We assume that they have reconsidered and have seen sales of that application have not been many and have decided to lower its price to $ 2, returning the money to buyers with its antoguo price.

Anyway, if you do not want to spend money, Wolfram Alpha has opened its portal mobile version where you can ask the questions you want, and should Feature in most browsers (we tested on a BlackBerry and it works perfectly).

Another strategy is the company further expand its platform and version are now available for the impending arrival of the Apple Tablet, IPAD, where they have taken all the space on the computer screen that Apple provides, but this new itself is not so, as the movement is expected for the second cuerto 2010, when Wolfram Alpha has a version for eReaders, although the company has kept all the details until its release, what you do want your director, is that "knowledge of Wolfram Alpha is in the hands of everyone."

It seems that the introduction of a Spotify free in the U.S. is being more cumbersome than its CEO, Daniel Ek is wanted and that unlike what happens in Europe, where they already have than 320000 users and pay more than 7 million users of the service, conduct negotiations with the various parties is still much more difficult because they have to deal with many more people.

While in Europe have been only a few brokers in the United States reached the figure of 5000. Moreover, a pay-only model, could lead to competitors like the Apple App Store and decided to impose it aside, is why a free model is essential to make it attractive to users.

Moreover, it appears that the earnings of artists do not become entirely satisfactory and profits are ridiculous after playing a thousand times in his works, so the model would also have to improve in that regard.

MySpace was a pioneer among social networks, but the competition was very strong and soon Facebook pages forward in fame, views and registered users, so now MySpace has raised redesign its website and review the operation of its entire platform to get to against these young competitors.

The co-presedente of MySpace, Mike Jones, has "confessed" that some workers have lost the strength to keep fighting to top the list of social networks, seeing the strength in their Facebook and Twitter, and now need new "fighters" and "believers" that they can cope and return to the leadership.

Because of this, News Corp, has suggested that these employees were not committed to the company to leave and have hired new and enthusiastic employees. Let what you say a renewal of personnel to get new air and ideas into the company.

Over the coming months, as declared by the president of MySpace, we will see gradual changes in the web that we will reach the new version.

In this new face of MySpace, is itself more to the music and all that are multimedia content as the company's goal is to get new users and bring back those who have gone and to pass the 100 million user 300 ... (so now they have to run)

Earlier this year, MySpace had lost 7.4% of visitors compared to last year on the same days, so it's time to put the batteries and I hope to offer much more content and many more things to do within your network, because right now, all you can do on MySpace, also be done on Facebook and much more besides ...

Go to the Mountain View not satisfied only with being a very well-known search engine on the net, but apparently also wants to venture into the small screen, yes, yes as you listen, on TV.

Not that from now begin making products by hand (though not surprise me), but apparently the company had signed a collaboration agreement with the company Dish Network, which has a TV service satellite which has a market share of 14 million users in the U.S.

Well, in that agreement, which, moreover, has been neither affirmed nor denied by Google, Dish Network decoders are installed and the Android operating system could do with a keyboard Busca offer television and video over the Internet, such as Youtube which is also owned by the giant California.

And how Google would benefit from this offer? for integrating its Google TV Ads advertising, giving each family an advertising "customized" depending on the searches made.

It appears that service is already being tested since last year via some employees from Google.
