If you have something to say more about Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco please feel free to register and place a comment.

Company Google plans to begin in 2008 to use their own operational system for mobile phones. There was an information that Google itself will borrow in manufacture of phones then it has appeared that their development will be conducted by the third party. However as a result it became clear that it is a question of operational system for cellular telephones.

Exact date of release of the final version of operational system is unknown but in the near future 50 thousand devices with OS from Google will be widespread among developers for testing. According to some information only " somewhere in 2008 " the first commercial prototype of phone with the high-grade version of operational system Google will be ready informs Mobile Magazine.

In opinion of some experts the output of OS with the open initial code from company Google (if it will be those), will strike a crushing blow on company Microsoft and is concrete - OS Windows Mobile. Besides OS Google in a combination to use of service Google Maps it will be convenient for systems GPS, representing more "alive" picture the districts rather than existing гаджеты, equipped GPS.

Vice-president Google on search systems Marissa Mayer within the limits of conference Web 2.0 in San Francisco has informed that the company plans to open new service of a medical orientation.

To press in any details concerning the future service as informs ComputerWorld Mayer did not become. It is known only that users of service can load on servers on the Internet the information on a condition of the health and the case record, and also to exchange data with the attending physician. Will earn service presumably in the beginning of next year.

It is necessary to note that the application Mayer about intention Google to open medical service has sounded later only two weeks after Microsoft has started service HealthVault. The given service represents on-line storehouse in which users can accumulate the information of medical character. Into structure HealthVault enters integrated search engine and to load data on a site of service it is possible directly from the compatible medical equipment. Service HealthVault is free-of-charge, for the foreign companies and manufacturers corporation Microsoft offers the special means of development facilitating process of creation of devices, compatible to a new platform.

Considering that fact that for access to HealthVault corporation Microsoft does not raise any payment from users it is possible to assume as similar service Google will be free-of-charge. It is not excluded that on pages of service Google advertisements will be displayed.

Companies IBM and Google together with six largest universities have started the program on promotion of the concept of programming for the distributed calculations.

The distributed calculations assume use of a plenty of the computers incorporated in a uniform network for carrying out of global scientific researches, complex modelling and other calculations demanding greater computer capacities. Thus the general speed of a network of the distributed calculations can exceed productivity of the most powerful supercomputers of the world. However, according to experts, the quantity of the professionals, capable to carry out programming of similar problems, is insignificant.

For project IBM and Google have allocated large computing claster uniting some hundreds computers, systems Google and servers IBM BladeCenter and System x. Students to whom access to the Internet will be given, can test with its help the projects within the limits of a training course on programming for parallel calculations. In servers кластера the software with the open initial code, including OS Linux, virtual XEN environment, and also technologies Google developed within the limits of project Hadoop under aegis of fund Apache Software Foundation, in particular, the mechanism of information search MapReduce and file system Google File System (GFS) will be used, informs TechWeb.
