Macworld Focuses on Mobile Apps Nexus One 'Support' Passes the Buck Nvidia Auto-Switches Notebook GPU MS: Windows 7 Doesn't Hurt Battery Intel Launches Itanium 9300 Series Google Buzz Connects Gmail Users Macworld 2010 kicked off in San Francisco Tuesday, showcasing hundreds of Mac products and services, expert advice, and demonstrations -- but this year mobile apps may steal the show. Need support for Google's Nexus One smartphone? You can finally call Google directly -- but you might not get all the answers you're looking for. You may get passed to another vendor. Nvidia has taken the wraps off a notebook technology that chooses the best graphics processor for any given application and automatically routes the workload to Nvidia or Intel processors. Battery problems on Windows 7 machines are not caused by the operating system. That's the position of Stephen Sinofsky, head of the Windows division, in a long posting on the Windows engineering blog. After two unexpected delays, Intel has launched the Itanium 9300 series, a 64-bit, quad-core processor code-named Tukwila that is expected to double the performance of its predecessor. Google has moved to get serious about social networking with Google Buzz -- a new feature of its Gmail web-based e-mail system that aims to connect its growing base of Gmail users.

After just an hour with an iPad, this reviewer came away with a preliminary verdict: Despite some flaws, this is one slick device, which Steve Jobs called "so much more intimate than a laptop." The unveiling of Apple's new tablet computer has sparked hopes the device will improve the fortunes of firms supplying content for it. But does teaming up with Apple make sense for content companies? Although trust in business rebounded smartly in late 2009, CEOs remained the least credible spokespersons for a company, according to a recently released, 22-country consumer survey. Collaborative computing, mobile technology, and cloud services are changing the way we do business, not only in North America, Asia and Europe, but also in developing nations, with major growth to come. A year of blockbuster data breaches offers many lessons for security. The basic lesson is to use multiple security layers to block the amateurs, but added measures are needed to lock out those pros.
