Mozilla Labs launches browser-like Webian interface – Mozilla
Labs is the latest developer to prototype a new user interface for the PC float,
the Webian Shell browser, rediscovered as a complete replacement for the Desktop.
Based on the Chromeless Browser project's fusion of HTML, CSS and Javascript,
Webian is essentially a browser window that has taken over the PC, with an address
bar at the top of the window, tabs for web applications, and a clock. Despite the
current primitive appearance, the concept shows the influence of smart phone and
tablet operating systems attempting in future versions to enable homescreens, split
screens and on-screen keyboard, suggesting it would require a touch interface.

AMD pledges sharper graphics with new Fusion chips – Advanced
Micro Devices has promised an increase in graphics and video performance of your
processor aimed at enabling the consumer PC segment, which will be released in laptops
later this month and the desktops shortly thereafter. The smart new Fusion series
combines quad-core CPU in the silicon mold as compatible with DirectX 11 GPU and
a dedicated chip for encoding and decoding video. It is therefore very suitable
for tasks like video playback, gaming, and video and photo editing, AMD said. AMD
launched the first fusion chip with dual core processors earlier this year for netbooks
and thin and light notebooks. The quad-core chips are first Fusion processors released
by AMD for more powerful PCs.

Google Chrome to Get Native Voice, Video Chat – Google Chrome
will soon have voice and video chat features built right in, eliminating the need
for external plug-ins and downloads, according to comments on the Google developer
forum. The move will allow any third-party developer to create applications in real-time
communication for the browser with a set of JavaScript APIs (Application Programming
Interface) and HTML 5. The new functionality is based on the WebRTC, a communications
technology Google acquired in 2010 when it acquired Global IP Solutions. Google
had announced that WebRTC would become an open source project which is supported
by Google, Mozilla and Opera. Google hopes WebRTC adopted as a Web standard, making
it a universal platform for real-time Web communications.

Google unveils Swiffy Flash-to-HTML5 tool – Google introduced
Swiffy - a free tool for developers to convert some flash files (.SWF) into HTML5.
It is now easier than ever to get Flash content visible on platforms that do not
support Adobe's Flash Player - like the iPhone and iPad. Swiffy converts the
Flash content in HTML 5, with advanced browser support for technologies such as
the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), coupled with CSS3 and JSON. For now, this means
that files converted by Swiffy work in modern Web Kit browsers such as Safari and
Chrome, as well as Mobile Safari, but browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox,
which are based on different renderers may have problems.
