Firefox 64 bit for Windows?

Firefox 64 bit for Windows is the plan of Mozilla. It’s one of the Firefox 4 features.

Programmer Armen Zambrano Gasparnian announced the first 64-bit Firefox builds for Windows on Friday, offering an FTP site for those who want to download it. But the software isn’t for mainstream users yet.

The transition to 64-bit computing often offers a modest computing performance boost, but the main reason for the transition is getting around the 4GB memory limit of 32-bit computing.

Apple’s Safari and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer already have their 64 bit versions. Google is working on 64-bit Chrome too.

Adobe AIR on the Android Platform

Google is working to enable an open ecosystem for the mobile world by creating a standard, open mobile software platform. Google says that they are excited that, working with Adobe, they will be able to bring both AIR and Flash to Android.

Google believes that developers should have their choice of tools and technologies to create applications. By supporting Adobe AIR on Android they hope that millions of creative designers and developers will be able to express themselves more freely when they create applications for Android devices. More broadly, AIR will foster rapid and continuous innovation across the mobile ecosystem.

Google is happy to be partnering with Adobe to bring the full web, great applications, and developer choice to the Android platform. Their engineering teams have been working closely to bring both AIR and Flash Player to Google’s mobile operating system and devices.

Intel Wireless Display: Connecting Laptop to HDTV Wirelessly

The announcement of Intel Wireless Display, aka “WiDi”, came at CES 2010 .  At the touch of a button, a connection is made between a laptop and a HDTV.

On January 17 laptops by Dell, Sony and Toshiba, and a TV adapter by NETGEAR – featuring Intel Wireless Display – will be available at Best Buy in the United States and Canada as part of its Blue Label 2.0 program.

The first generation only supports a 720p output (your desktop resolution can be whatever, the software automatically compresses and scales the output). The next generation of the technology will support 1080p and eventually will have HDCP support as well.

Google Goggles gets video demo on Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

There’s little sense in resisting the obvious: Google is slowly but surely taking over your life, but rather than get indignant and discombobulated, we’d suggest letting go and appreciating how much easier things are with the folks in Mountain View squarely in control. Take Google Goggles, for instance, which aims to convert cameraphone images into useful search results on its own Android platform. Up until now, we’ve been shown stock demos and videos of it running on conventional handsets, but seeing the Goggles hard at work on Sony Ericsson’s not-yet-released Xperia X10 is another thing entirely. Hop on past the break for the frames you’re craving, but don’t bank on this making the wait for said phone any simpler to stomach.
