  1. Re:Whatever on What's New With IE, Firefox, Opera · · Score: 0

    I'll paste what i said before regarding firefox memory leaks: I downloaded and installed every variant of mozilla, flock, firefox...etc to see if it eats less memory than firefox. infortunately, it seems flock and firefox consumes nearly 150 megs of RAM even if they're inactive. I love firefox, i hate IE but i can't stand this behaviour. I found a little browser called maxthon based on IE but with all firefox features (adblocking, mouse gestures, very friendly customizable...ana a lot of things cool for geeks. using it consumes 5 to 20 megs of RAM. That's a lot better than firefox and even opera.
    Sorry, i love firefox but i want back my RAM
    I don't have interest in maxthon. Try it, you'll love it.

    Google Acquires Keyhole Corp

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - October 27, 2004 - Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) today announced it acquired Keyhole Corp., a Mountain View, Calif.-based digital mapping company.

    Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

    "With Keyhole, you can fly like a superhero from your computer at home to a street corner somewhere else in the world - or find a local hospital, map a road trip or measure the distance between two points," said Jonathan Rosenberg, vice president, Product Management. "This acquisition gives Google users a powerful new search tool, enabling users to view 3D images of any place on earth as well as tap a rich database of roads, businesses and many other points of interest. Keyhole is a valuable addition to Google's efforts to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."

    With an Internet connection, users enter an address or other location information and Keyhole's software accesses the database and takes them to a digital image of that location on their computer screen. The interactive software then gives users many options, including the ability to zoom in from space-level to street-level, tilt and rotate the view or search for other information such as hotels, parks, ATMs or subways. Unlike traditional mapping technologies, Keyhole creates a dynamic 3D interface for geographic information.

    Keyhole's technology combines a multi-terabyte database of mapping information and images collected from satellites and airplanes with easy-to-use software.

    Google also announced, effective immediately, a price reduction for Keyhole 2 LT from $69.95 to $29.95.

    Keyhole was founded in 2001. Keyhole customers include consumers, large and small businesses and public agencies. Current Keyhole users will benefit from the expanded resources and operational scale made possible by the integration into Google. Their service will continue uninterrupted.

    For a free, seven-day trial of Keyhole, please go to www.keyhole.com.
