Offline Access using Google Gears

In the normal scheme of things, an internet connection would be considered an absolute necessity for accessing your e-mail account. But that sort of system is now passé. You may not be able to have your cake and eat it too in real life, but with Google Gears you can manage to browse through your e-mail account even if you get unplugged from the Internet. Google Gears I s actually a plug in that can extend your browser to create a richer platform for web applications. The plug in can be downloaded for free from http://gears.google.com . The size of the file is quite small, and the download and installation process are usually over in a jiffy. The minimum system requirements are usually over in a jiffy. The minimum system requirements are Windows XP/Vista and the browser requirements are Firefox 1.5+ and IE6+.


Once the application is installed, Gmail will download your e-mail, every last gigabyte of it to your desktop. To Access your account in the offline mode, you still have to go through the sign-up process, and the Gmail account will appear on your computer screen in the same way as it does in the online mode. Then onwards, whenever you compose new e-mails, they will be stored in the outbox and will automatically get sent to their destination as soon as you get online. Gmail works in the offline mode, by using the local cache, but it continues to synchronize your mail with the server in the background. One advantage of using offline mode is that is turns out to be much faster, as Gmail does not have to hit the Google server to download your old e-mails.



The scope of Google Gears is not limited to Gmail only. In fact, this plug-in is proving to be a boon for developers around the world who are using it to provide offline interaction to the visitors to their site, and to create content based on geographical location. A number of web-based applications, including Google Reader and Google Docs, are currently compatible with Google Gears. Popular websites like Zoho and Remember the Milk have also been using Gears since their inception. In fact, the ability to access the documents stored in your Zoho account or in Google Docs can turn out to be a great convenience for most users. It is almost like having a new version of Office software, with many web related features right there on your desktop.


Just because you have the plug-in installed in your browser. It does not mean that every website using Google Gears will automatically be able to download its information on your desktop. Before the download happens, a pop up box will appear on the screen and you will be asked if you wish to allow the site to use Gears. You can cancel the popup if you have no need for the data from this site. But if you need it, then you will have to enable Gears by checking “ I trust this site. Allow it to use Gears. “it is also possible for you to change your preferences at any later stage. This system is also available in versions that are compatible with Mobile and Linux.

Intel supports Tizen™ Open Source Software Platform

  • Intel supports Tizen™ - Open Source Software Platform

In a post on the 27th September 2011, Intel announced that they were supporting Tizen™, an open source software platform. The post is available below:-

Intel to Support Open Source Software Platform, Tizen™

Intel supports Tizen™  - Open Source Software Platform
Today, Intel joined Linux Foundation and LiMo Foundation™ in support of Tizen™, a new Linux-based open source software platform for multiple device categories. The standards-based Tizen project will be hosted at the Linux Foundation and offer an operating system and a robust, flexible standards-based HTML5 and WAC web development environment within which device-independent apps can be produced. Tizen builds upon the strengths of both LiMo and MeeGo and Intel will be working with our MeeGo partners to help them transition to Tizen. The initial release of Tizen is expected in Q1’2012, enabling the first devices in the market mid-2012.


More information about Tizen™ can be obtained in this press release by The Linux Foundation on the 27th September 2011, which is available below:-

LiMo Foundation and Linux Foundation Announce New Open Source Software Platform, Tizen™

New cross-device and cross-architecture platform will drive standards-based web applications

September 27, 2011 – LONDON, ENGLAND and SAN FRANCISCO, USA – LiMo Foundation™ and The Linux Foundation today announced a new open source project, Tizen™, to develop a Linux-based device software platform. Hosted at The Linux Foundation, Tizen is a standards-based, cross-architecture software platform, which supports multiple device categories including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks and in-vehicle infotainment systems. The initial release of Tizen is targeted for Q1 2012, enabling first devices to come to market in mid-2012.

Tizen combines the best open source technologies from LiMo and The Linux Foundation and adds a robust and flexible standards-based HTML5 and WAC web development environment within which device-independent applications can be produced efficiently for unconstrained cross-platform deployment. This approach leverages the robustness and flexibility of HTML5 which is rapidly emerging as a preferred application environment for mobile applications and the broad carrier support of the Wholesale Applications Community (WAC). Tizen additionally carries a state-of-the-art reference user interface enabling the creation of highly attractive and innovative user experience that can be further customized by operators and manufacturers.

“LiMo Foundation views Tizen as a well-timed step change which unites major mobile Linux proponents within a renewed ecosystem with an open web vision of application development which will help device vendors to innovate through software and liberalize access to consumers for developers and service providers,” said Morgan Gillis, Executive Director of LiMo Foundation. “LiMo will maintain its focus on providing the industry with a broadly backed vendor- and service-neutral ecosystem grounded in the spirit of open and unconstrained opportunity that is embodied by Linux.”

The mobile industry continues to embrace Linux and open source technologies as key factors in lowering device realization cost, increasing flexibility and improving time to market and it is expected that Tizen will further enhance these effects due to its cross-category reach and strong focus on open standards.

“The Linux Foundation is pleased to host the Tizen platform,” said Jim Zemlin, Executive Director of The Linux Foundation. “Open source platforms such as Tizen are good for Linux as they further its adoption across device categories. We look forward to collaborating with the LiMo Foundation and its members on this project.”

To participate in the project, please go Tizen.org.
