eBay Inc’s customers do not need to open a web browser to search the site or auction an item anymore.
After a quick download, the online auctioneer’s users can click the company’s logo on their desktop and launch an application that will allow them to do their business directly - no browser required.
eBay is one of several companies, including Nasdaq Stock Market Inc, Time Warner Inc’s AOL, Nickelodeon and Salesforce.com Inc, that have created downloadable, desktop versions of their websites using software developed by Adobe Systems Inc.
Adobe is launching the application, called AIR, on Monday. Adobe says AIR will allow any company with a website to inhabit a permanent spot on people’s desktops.
It also reduces the wait time for downloading images and data, because the desktop is constantly updated while the computer is online.
Adobe says AIR runs on any operating system. It is a more powerful version of widgets, the customisable little web pullouts often provided by third parties like Google Inc.
The AIR application removes any kind of go-between, giving companies a direct, constant and versatile link to the consumer, said Adrian Ludwig, a spokesman for Adobe.
“The browser was in the way and the widget, in some instances, was in the way,” Ludwig said. “It’s the willingness to let the brand of the person providing the application to take front and centre.”

To make connecting with third-party software easier, Microsoft will publish on its Web site key software blueprints, known as application program interfaces, pertaining to its high-volume products used by other Microsoft merchandise.
In September, a European Union court upheld a landmark ruling that the worlds biggest software maker had abused its dominant market position.
The court in September endorsed Commission sanctions against Microsoft for tying together software and its refusal to give rival makers of office computer servers information to allow their products to work smoothly with Windows.
The court also said Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft was unjustified in tying new applications — or software programs — to its Windows operating system in a way that squeezed out rivals and harmed consumer choice.
Microsoft also pledged on Thursday not to sue open-source developers for development or noncommercial distribution of those software blueprints.
We are taking responsibility for implementing the principles in the interoperability portion of the (September) decision across all of Microsofts high-volume products, said Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith. We will take additional steps in the coming weeks to address the remaining portion of the … decision.
In January, the European Commission launched new antitrust investigations into Microsoft to see whether the company broke competition rules to help its Web browser and its Office and Outlook products.

The European Commission said Microsofts announcement did not resolve allegations of product tying and the Commission would try to verify the pledges by the company.
This announcement does not relate to the question of whether or not Microsoft has been complying with EU antitrust rules in this area in the past, the EU said in a statement.
Microsoft shares rose 8 cents to $US28.30 in early afternoon trading on Nasdaq.

Gnome is, along with KDE, one of the two major desktop environments used with Linux-based operating systems. Aside from managing the graphical windowing portion of the OS, it includes a number of applications, such as a web browser, email client, configuration manager and other components.

Gnome is the favoured desktop environment for Ubuntu, the most popular desktop-oriented Linux distribution. According to Ubuntu, it ispreferred by around two-thirds of Ubuntu users, and is also used in embedded devices such as Nokia’s N810 tablet.

One of the more drastic changes in the latest Gnome release is a change to the back-end engine of the built-in Epiphany web browser.From using the same Gecko engine found in Firefox and related browsers, Epiphany will switch to WebKit, the KHTML-based rendering engine found in Apple’s Safari and Mac OS X, KDE’s Konqueror and other applications.

WebKit is integrated with the upcoming Qt v4.4 application development framework. Qt could soon become more widespread in embedded devices followingNokia’s acquisition of Trolltech, Qt’s developer.

America Online (AOL) announced that it would no longer support its Netscape Internet browser as of February 1 citing a declining share of the browser market.AOL will continue to release security patches for the most recent version of Netscape until February 1. After that, there will be no “active product support” for any version of the Netscape Navigator browser. Netscape was the original mass-market Web browser and helped to popularize the Internet in the mid-1990s, but it has long taken a back seat to Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.Firefox itself traces its roots back to Netscape software that was made into open source. The Mozilla Foundation was founded in 2003, with support from AOL, and has released successive versions of Firefox while AOL continued to develop Netscape on top of the same platform. While once commanding 90 percent of the browser market, Netscape Navigator now accounts for less than 1 percent, and AOL had no interest in spending what it would take to revive the brand. Instead, the company, which was once a subscriber-supported portal, preferred to spend its resources on its transition into an ad-supported Web business. The change left “little room for the size of investment needed to get the Netscape browser to a point many of its fans expect it to be,” wrote Tom Drapeau, director of development, in a Netscape blog post.Netscape will still be available for download from the Netscape Archive, but no support will be offered. AOL recommended that users instead download Firefox and add the Netscape theme and Netscape extensions.

The iPhone, Apple’s first attempt at manufacturing a mobile phone,was launched to much hype in the US at the end of June.

This is the first serious attempt to hack the device, although hackers started work on the device within days of its launch.

Security researchers from Maryland-based penetration testing firm Independent Security Evaluators (ISE)say they have written two exploits that take advantage of “serious problems with the design and implementation of security on the iPhone”. They claimthat one of the exploits, for the Safari web browser on the iPhone,could be used for stealing data.

The researchers used an unmodified iPhone to surf to a malicious HTML document they had created. When this page was viewed, the payload forced the iPhone to make an outbound connection to a serverthat the researchers controlled. The compromised iPhone then sent personal data including SMS text messages, contact information, call history and voicemail information over the connection.

Thesecond exploit created by the researchers enabled them to perform so-called “physical actions” on the iPhone. Using their iPhone to visit a second malicious web page, they forced the device to “vibrate for a second”.

They alsoraised the spectre of premium-rate rogue-dialler fraud, and the use of the iPhone as a bugging device. By using other API functions, the researchers claimed the exploit could have “dialled phone numbers, sent text messages or recorded audio as a bugging device, and transmitted it over the network for later collection by a malicious party”.
