German speaking group aims to bring OOo to Cocoa Seeing how the download numbers for the latest version of OpenOffice.org on the Mac (using X11) has more than doubled from the last one, a German speaking interest group has decided to definitely bring OOo to Cocoa on Mac OS X. If and when a first version of the Cocoa-build will appear on the 'net remains to be seen, although the new initiative certainly gives some hope.
[ written by fryke™ on 2005-02-11 at 17:06 CET ] Google takes over the world, part II A while ago, I mused over how Google - smiling all the time, waving at everyone - slowly creeps up to be the master of the universe, or at least planet Earth. Or the 'net, to be more specific. Now, Google offers Wikipedia its 'help' (link in German). Sure, they offer to do it without placing GoogleAds on Wikipedia (which has a bit of a problem since it's so successful and depends on about 30 servers which can't really take all the load), but Wikipedia, which has thought about putting ads on its pages, might just fall for GoogleAds, anyway, since not only does that generate some money (and the more if you're more successful, of course), GoogleAds are also much less obstrusive than other ad systems with ugly banners. It's all give and take, isn't it. But let's just sum things up here: Google is where people search for information, Google wants to sum up the news for you, Google wants you to handle all your E-Mails with their good (and it _is_ good, after all) system, Google watches TV for you, too - and now Google wants to be in the most successful online encyclopedia. "Don't be evil," they might say, but the path to hell is plated with Golden Retrievers, or something similar, rings in my head... ;)
