Is Google Gearing Up For GMail 2.0?

by FrEiBeRgS2002 on Sep.30, 2007, under Technology

Rumors of a coming GMail redesign have been running rampant after ZDNet reported some telling requests in Google’s public translation program. Google frequently relies on ordinary users who are fluent in both English and another language to translate small snippets of English text into other languages. Over the weekend some translators working on GMail noticed some snippets of text that hint at possible new features.
The first thing to come to light was that Google was asking for translation of the English phrase “Newer Version.” The translation request is in the GMail UI section, which seems to indicate that GMail may soon get a facelift. Given that GMail has been essential unchanged since its launch in April of 2004, the need to translate that phrase clearly means something is in the works.
Garett Rogers, the ZDNet blogger who first pointed out the translation “leak,” has also discovered that Google is requesting the phrase “Gears is not enabled” be translated to other languages, as well as the phrase “Disable Local Store.”
Both of these translation requests seem to lend some support to earlier rumors that Google Gears-based offline functionality is headed for GMail in the near future.
Another translation tidbit seem to indicate that future versions of GMail will be able to display recent logins by IP address, which could be handy for ensuring no one is accessing your account without your knowledge.
So far there’s been no comment from the GMail team and no screenshots of any new features have surfaced. But, given that GMail is over three years old and really hasn’t been updated much since its launch, we think it’s a safe bet that something new is coming in the near future. Whether or not it will be a small upgrade or a completely new GMail 2.0 remains to the seen.

Google Patches Serious GMail Vulnerability

by FrEiBeRgS2002 on Sep.30, 2007, under Technology

Early this week we told you about a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) flaw in GMail that would allow attackers to create a filter in your account — possibly forwarding copies of your mail to themselves.
This morning I received an e-mail from a spokesperson at Google who said that the GMail team rolled out a patch last night which fixes the problem.
“Google takes the security of our users’ information very seriously,” the e-mail says, “We worked quickly to address the recently reported vulnerability, and we rolled out a fix. We have not received any reports of this vulnerability being exploited.”
Google says they haven’t heard of anyone being victimized, but it wouldn’t hurt to login and take a quick look at your filter just to be on the safe side.

Microsoft Buckles, Gives Windows XP A Life Extension

by FrEiBeRgS2002 on Sep.30, 2007, under Technology

The people have spoken and Microsoft is listening. The company has decided to continue selling Windows XP through the end of June 2008, which is five months past the original deadline. The extension applies to both retail sales of XP and the company’s OEM deals with major manufacturers.

“There are some customers who need a little more time to make the switch to Windows Vista,” says Mike Nash, the head of Windows product management, in an interview on the Microsoft PR site. “We’re responding to feedback we have gotten from our OEM partners that some customers will benefit by extending availability of Windows XP.”

There’s been much ado about Windows Vista and it’s hardware requirements versus XP, and the web is filled with tales of disgruntled users “upgrading” back to XP after experiencing problems with Vista. CNet recently ran an editorial calling for Microsoft to abandon Vista, or the OS “will bring the software giant to its knees.”

Despite some bad press, Microsoft still claims Vista is its fast selling OS ever, with more than 60 million licenses sold to date.

The five month extension should be good news for those waiting on the first Vista service pack before upgrading. Although no final data has been given for Vista SP1, the beta is in the hands of testers now and is expected to be released near the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
