GeoCities R.I.P as Yahoo! pulls the plug
I doubt that there will be very many tears shed, however, one of the web’s old timer resources is shutting down today as Yahoo! pulls the plug on GeoCities. I have to admit, I haven’t even looked at a GeoCities site in over a decade and I suspect that very few of you have either. In my opinion there really wasn’t very much traditional “Geo” involved in GeoCities although you have to admit it was a great name and likely pretty high in demand… anyway, so long GeoCities http://geocities.yahoo.com/
New Mobile Innovation Center to Focus on Open Source Innovation
Interesting news from Qualcomm this week being officially announced at the Symbian Event (SEE09) in London as the mobile giant announces a new innovation center that will focus on mobile development in the open source arena. Qualcomm has established a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. (QuIC), focused on mobile open source platforms. QuIC has brought together a dedicated group of engineers to optimize open source software with Qualcomm technology. These engineers will focus on such important open source initiatives as Linux and Webkit, and on open source operating systems such as Symbian, Android and Chrome.” See More details here
