Google Tries to Make Browser Applications More Powerful

At this time Google has been a leading proponent of Web-based computing software hat is delivered over the Internet and naturally runs inside a browser. But most browser applications cannot do many of the things that more powerful PC-based software can. So now Google has been trying to help close that gap. On 28th May, Google touted the fruits of its efforts on two fronts at the company’s annual conference for software developers, which is taking place in San Francisco.

Google said that it has opened to third-party developers the programming interfaces to Google Earth, the company’s 3-D visualization software. That will allow developers to embed Google Earth on their Web sites, much like they already can do with Google Maps. Now Google noted that more than 150,000 sites have created applications using Google Maps to do things like indicative the locations of crimes or apartment rentals in various cities, displaying the path of airplanes in flight and helping users calculate the distance they travel on their urban walks. Those same sites will be able to improve those applications through Google Earth’s richer visualization software. And other developers will be capable to take advantage of Google Earth’s 3-D imaging to create new applications to run on their sites.

Since the applications will be embedded in the Web sites and accessible through a browser, they will work regardless of whether or not users have installed Google Earth on their PCs. Google also said that MySpace has used Gears, a set of software tools introduced by Google a year http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifago to help developers build browser applications that run like PC-based software, to revamp its mail service. MySpace users will now be able to easily sort and search through their mail messages, rather than having to click through page after page to find what they are looking for. Google executives said the MySpace effort represented the largest use of Gears and would likely encourage other companies to use Gears to enhance their Web applications or create new ones. That includes Google, which plans to use the software tools to make Gmail available to users even when they are not connected to the Internet. Google won’t put an exact deadline on the project but executives said they hope it will happen within a year.

Renting With Roommate

Before renting the apartments in atlanta together, it's wise for would-be roommates to sit down and draw up a written agreement that covers a number of issues:
  • How much rent is each tenant paying? For instance, someone with a larger bedroom might have a bigger monthly cost.
  • When is the rent due? (It can make sense to set a due date in advance of the actual payment date to avoid penalties.)
  • What is the penalty if one roommate is late with the rent?
  • What happens if one roommate doesn't pay?
  • How much is each party putting up for the security deposit?
  • What happens if one roommate needs to move before the end of the lease term?
  • How will utility bills be divided?
  • To draw up a proper agreement, write out what you want to do and then have the paperwork reviewed by an attorney or legal clinic.
  • In the event that one roommate innocently forgets to pay his share of the rent, that's probably not grounds for instant eviction -- though it may result in a late fee.
  • In the usual case, a landlord will issue a reminder or friendly warning before taking more drastic measures.
The landlord's next step should be to request payment. Most states require that the landlord do so in writing or by using a specific form, called a "notice to pay rent or quit." Once the landlord makes the request and the tenant still doesn't pay, the landlord can then proceed to court, where the landlord can have the tenant evicted.

Landlords, however, logically don't want to evict tenants -- that's just a way to create vacancies. A better approach for everyone is to try and work out the problem -- keeping up the rent and perhaps finding a replacement roommate. So follow the above said concerns when searching good roommates for your las vegas apartment.
