Now You Can Connect a Keyboard to Your iPhone
There was a time when I used to dream… if I only had a keyboard to type on my iPhone so that I could type fast on this buttonless baby of mine. But my dream has now come true for me. Now there is an application through which we can connect iPhone or iPod touch to a keyboard.
If you want to sit and type through a keyboard, you must install “BTstack Keyboard app” from Cydia store. This application worth $5, but is equally helpful and pay its price.
This application works through Bluetooth. It searches for the keyboard device and let you connect it to your iPhone.
Isn’t that cool? So what are you waiting for? Just go for it!
Google Fined $14,300 per day
Google was fined by a French court for $14,300 a day till it stops showing copyright books. A Paris based court ruled this judgment on Friday. Google inc. was also asked to pay $430,000 to a French publisher La Martiniere, who brought out the lawsuit on behalf of other French publishers.
This may set back the ambitious dream of this search engine giant to scan all world literature to an online digital library in next five years. Though, Google attorney Alexandra Neri has said that Google will appeal against this judgment. Google as a company is becoming more and more powerful day by day. There is already a U.S legal settlement that gives right to Google, to scan millions of books to its digital library. It is interesting to see that Google has scanned over 10 millions of books with the consent of over 30,000 publishers since 2004. Critics are saying Google is going beyond its rights, but no one is denying that it is very hard to stop Google from its mission.

Microsoft Ends the Fight with EU Over IE
Microsoft has finally come in peace with the European Union on the issue of the web browsers. The issue that started in 1998, was about Microsoft killing competition in the European browser market. Microsoft was criticized by the European Union for bundling their operating systems with their default web browser, Internet Explorer. Many felt that, this move of Microsoft could kill the competition in the web browser market and that users should be given the choice when it comes to choosing a web browser.

After the computer maker had arrived at a consensus with the European Union, it had ended what was considered to be the biggest fight on web browsers. Users now in Europe will have to choice to choose their web browsers and a number of people have welcomed this new move by Microsoft. Chief Executive of Opera, Jon von Tetzchner said that this was the victory of the web and this move would definitely help build a healthy competition in the European web browser market.
