Mo icrosoft liberou o candidato da liberação do `do bloco 1 do serviço de Windows Vista (SP1)' (RC). Esta é a última etapa antes que o oficial SP1 esteja liberado no primeiro quarto de 2008. Anote que este não é ainda código oficial, assim lá poderia ainda ser erros (mas hey, haverá ainda uns erros na liberação oficial também). Se você instalar este, você necessitará muito provável removê-lo antes de instalar a liberação final.

Se você tiver uma conexão de rede rápida, a maneira a mais fácil instalar será com um do instaladores autônomos, que incluem tudo você necessita começar o rolling. A picareta justa que uma você necessita, baseada sobre se você estiver funcionando o bocado 32 (mais terra comum) ou 64-bit, e que língua você está usando (escolhe dos últimos dois se você usar línguas múltiplas).

• bocado 32 em inglês, alemão, japonês, francês, espanhol
• 64-bit em inglês, alemão, japonês, francês, espanhol
• bocado 32 em 36 línguas de Windows Vista
• 64-bit em 36 línguas de Windows Vista

A outra maneira começá-lo (ao lado das conexões inevitáveis do P2P) é download o diretamente através do Update de Windows. Microsoft describes it as ‘Experience the WU based Vista SP1 installation

The Windows Vista Team Blog just announced that Windows Vista SP1 Release Candidate (RC) is available today on Microsoft Connect. Tomorrow it will open up to Technet and MDSN subscribers, and finally, next week, it will be available to the public through Microsoft’s Download Center. Availability for the final version of SP1 is still slated for the first quarter of 2008.

Among the information given about the release, the download is much slimmer than it was, presumably due to removal of debugging code. It also requires less space to install, and will properly notify you if you don’t have enough space. For administrators, there will be a ‘blocker’ available (information available tomorrow), to prevent the service pack from installing. Many of use made use of this when SP2 came out for Windows XP, allowing us extra time to test and plan deployment, without worrying that the pack would automatically be installed through Windows Update.

The RTM version (final release to manufacturing) will be available as a stand-alone installer for English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese, in both the 32 and 64-bit flavors. 8-12 weeks later, the remaining languages will be

Google announced that they have launched a new web-based application for the Apple iPhone integrates its multiple services into a single interface. The new application is based on AJAX/Web 2.0 technologies and is launched when an iPhone user visits http://www.google.com.
To accomplish this, Google is taking advantage of browser technologies (like AJAX) that made Gmail and Google Maps possible on the desktop. In supporting these advances in web technology, the iPhone’s Safari browser not only delivers an excellent mobile Internet experience; it enabled our product and engineering teams to create an optimal Google experience on a mobile device.

The Google web-application offers iPhone-optimzed versions of Gmail, Calendar, Reader (RSS) and other services.

.09 percent may seem like an extremely small marketshare but when you consider that the iPhone has only been selling for 5 months and for most of that time was in one – albeit large – market (the U.S.), that share is amazing. Add another .01% for the iPod touch and Apple mobile platform is one out of every thousand pageviews across the Internet.

The WindowsCE platform - all of the Windows mobile platform devices put together - only managed 66% of iPhones market share. How many WinCE devices are out there? According to Gartner, MS and its partners shipped over three million Windows Mobile devices in Q1 2007. They’ve been selling WindowsCE devices since 1996 - over 10 years.

In under two quarters, Apple’s handheld platform has passed Microsoft’s over a decade-old mobile platform in terms of browser use.

Obviously this doesn’t translate to handset marketshare. We know there are much more than 20 million Windows Mobile devices out there. The reason that Apple’s browser marketshare is higher while its unit sales are much lower is explained easily by the oft-touted Mobile Safari browser and unlimited AT&T data plan. No guilt, pleasurable, full-browser surfing.

It looks like Apple is tracking iPhone users data including IMEI number, IP address and stock quote preferences (amongst other things) through a hidden string in the Weather.app and Stocks.app iPhone applications. This information is sent to “http://iphone-wu.apple.com/dgw?imei=%@&apptype=finance” (IP resolved “17.254.32.16″). See screenshot below for details.

From this information, Apple could build a profile on users. Where they travel, where they spend their free time, where they work, where they invest their money, what they browse, etc etc. Obviously most users would like to be able to control who has access to this information. If they connect this data with the credit card that you used to purchase the iPhone (remember, you can’t use cash anymore), they could build an even bigger profile on you.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like you can doanything about it - though hackers are working on it now. According to Uneasysilence.com, if you use an iPhone, you’ve already forfeited this right to privacy (from the Apple Terms of service):

When you interact with Apple, we may collect personal information relevant to the situation, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and contact preferences; your credit card information and information
