Google Pack Adds More Apps

Google has reportedly added some new applications to its Google Pack, including new security options and a fresh way to display photos. The Google Pack is a collection of free essential software including Google Earth, Picasa, and Google Desktop. Using this, users can save on the trouble of finding, installing, and updating software.
The new security options in the Pack include Symantec Norton Security Scan and PC Tools Spyware Doctor Starter Edition. Earlier this week, Symantec had announced an upgraded version of its free Google Pack antivirus offering called Norton Security Scan. Similarly, even PC Tools recently released the 5.0 version of Spyware Doctor, which the company claims to offer a faster scan, better rootkit protection, a lighter overall footprint, and scanning of external volumes like a USB flash drive. In addition, it also supports Vista. Besides, the new Google Pack also features a new way of photo display with Google Photos Screensaver. The photo screensaver turns the screen into a digital picture frame and displays the latest photos and shows images from the computer, Picasa Web Albums, or photo feeds from other photo-sharing sites. With this, now the Google Pack includes a whole set of applications such as Google Earth, Google Desktop, Picasa, Google Toolbar, Google Photos Screensaver, Google Talk and Google Video Player. It also includes the partner software Mozilla Firefox, Adobe Reader, Norton Security Scan, RealPlayer, GalleryPlayer HD Images, Skype and now Spyware Doctor. Google said that the Pack downloads and installs new as well as the other existing applications quickly and easily. Moreover, the Google Updater helps keep the applications updated. Google Pack Beta can be downloaded in 12 languages at http://pack.google.com. It is compatible with Window XP and Vista, and also supports Internet Explorer 6.0 and Firefox 1.0 and higher.

Dell To Sell PCs With Linux

According to reports, Dell has finally agreed on selling select PCs and laptops with pre-installed open source Linux OS. In a statement released on the company's website, Dell said that it has heard its consumers and the first step in this effort is offering Linux preinstalled on select desktop and notebook systems. Further, they plan to expand the Linux support beyond the existing servers and Precision workstation line.
This move, reportedly, is a result of customer feedback and demand. Earlier this year, the company had conducted a survey wherein 1,00,000 people took part and more than 70 percent of survey respondents said they would prefer using a Dell system with a Linux OS for both home and office use. Moreover, a majority of survey respondents said that existing community-based support forums would meet their technical support needs for a tested and validated Linux OS on a Dell PC and indicated that improved hardware support for Linux machines is as important as the distribution offered. Dell said that customers are more concerned about driver compatibility and Linux kernel support than they are about which distribution Dell would choose for its PCs and notebooks. As of now, the company has not released the details as to which PCs and laptops will come with pre-installed Linux and also which version of Linux will be used. Further details including testing and certification efforts and the Linux distribution or distributions, are expected to be available in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, this move by Linux is welcomed by members of the Linux community. Nick Veitch, senior editor of Linux Format magazine, describes this as a significant move. Reportedly, Veitch is of the view that this move sends message in two ways. One is that a major company is confident enough to be able to offer Linux preinstalled on a desktop that sends a signal that Linux is usable to the average user, and secondly, it shows that there is a growing demand for an alternative to Windows. Presently, Dell only offers PCs and laptops with pre-installed Microsoft Windows, but sells servers running Linux.

GTA IV: First Trailer Released

Rockstar Games has released the first Grand Theft Auto (GTA) IV trailer, which can be seen in the You Tube Vedio Below. After going through the trailer, gamers will find Rockstar taking them back to Liberty City that looks like a very accurate representation of New York city. And this time the Liberty City is modeled with an impressive amount of detail, and more full of life than ever.
The day-night cycle has also undergone a major enhancement in this next-generation rendition, with rays of light and shadows moving along with the sun. Besides, the cars and pedestrians have a decent amount of detail. The trailer also introduces what could be the main character in GTA IV - an olive-skinned man with a Russian accent, who deals with people. When asked about the main protagonist, a Rockstar spokesman said that they would like to let the trailer speak for itself. However, they can confirm that all footage in the trailer 'Things Will Be Different' has been captured directly from 720p gameplay running real time in their 'Rage' engine on a next-generation gaming console. However, the new trailer gives no indication of how this game will play compared to others. Meanwhile, more trailers are expected before the release of GTA IV game on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles in October this year.
