Intel Software Developer Supercomputing Conference

Defying constant changes in the economic climate, Intel hosts the first of its kind – Software Developer Supercomputing conference in India. The conference promises to build a diverse community of participants including researchers, scientists, computing center staff members, IT and data center management, application developers, computer manufacturing personnel, program managers, journalists and congressional staffers. This diversity will be one of the conference's main strengths, making it a yearly "must attend" forum for stakeholders throughout the technical computing community in India.

Over the next 5 years we expect our community to play an important role in leading the mainstream of computing into an era of parallelism. Many of the new developments in reconfigurable architectures, memory technologies, languages and tools, real-time high performance computing and other core technologies will debut at the conference. Don't miss this annual opportunity to meet with industry and research leaders.

Be part of this unique forum that will provide you insights and information on computing for a changing world.

You don’t want to be left behind.

Web of Trust extension comes to Chrome

Google's browser now has an extension to use the Web of Trust, a project that lets people rate the trustworthiness of Web sites and see how others have rated them.

The open-source plug-in previously worked only with Firefox and Internet Explorer, but now a version is available for the new developer preview version of Chrome, according to a blog post.

It's one of a host of relatively widely used extensions available on other browsers but now on their way to Chrome, whose extensions framework is just getting off the ground. There also are extensions (called add-ons in the Firefox realm) for Delicious and Xmarks, for example.

The extension takes advantage of the newer "mole" feature that lets windows pop up from the bottom of the screen. (The "mole" term originated with the work Google's Gmail team on instant-message windows; closing a number of them is like playing Whack-a-Mole.) However, Web of Trust programmers are considering using a newer extensions possibility called browser actions, which builds an extension interface into a button that appears along the top of the Chrome window.

"Browser Actions look promising though and we're looking forward to using them in future," said programmer Sami Tolvanen in a mailing list announcement. He also offered a list of suggestions for the Chrome extensions interface.

Separately, Google announced a new developer preview version, Chrome 4.0.221.6 for Windows and 4.0.221.8 for Mac OS X. In the Windows version is a new browser action feature, pop-up windows.
