Nano è un editor di testo libero per sistemi Unix ed Unix-like, distribuito con licenza GNU GPL. È un Software Libero che trae ispirazione da Pico, l'editor di testo proprietario del client e-mail pine, rispetto al quale risulta migliorato. Il nome deriva dal simbolo nano che è un prefisso SI che esprime il fattore 10−9, ossia un miliardesimo, ed è 1000 volte più grande di pico che esprime il fattore 10−12, ovvero un milionesimo di milionesimo. Il suo nome può essere interpretato come acronimo ricorsivo: Nano's ANOther editor.

LPE has support for visual features like automatic indentation, brace flashing, and syntax highlighting. The editor includes a generic plug-in architecture supporting a variety of languages with "modes" that can be added at any time. It also supports easy commands to run the current buffer through an awk or sed script, and a macro recorder and command repeater to ease repetitive editing.

Dopo alcuni rilasci beta di rodaggio, gli sviluppatori di Sun hanno reputato VirtualBox 3.0 sufficientemente stabile per il grande debutto. Come anticipato in occasione della disponibilità della prima beta, VirtualBox 3.0 compie grandi passi avanti nell’area delsymmetric multi-processing (SMP) e dell’accelerazione Direct3D/OpenGL: ora è infatti possibile sfruttare fino a 32 CPU virtuali e utilizzare l’accelerazione hardware della propria scheda video all’interno di tutti i tipi di sistemi operativi host supportati. Oltre a queste funzionalità e all’immancabile presenza di correzioni, VirtualBox 3.0 introduce anche una barra degli strumenti ridotta per le modalità fullscreen e seamless, il supporto a client RDP di Windows 7, Guest Additions per SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 e il nuovo demone vboxadd-service; quest’ultimo, disponibile solo per guest Linux, gestisce la sincronizzazione dell’ora con la macchina host e fornisce informazioni sulle proprietà del sistema guest (OS, utenti attivi, informazioni di rete, etc).

Mozilla will patch the just-released Firefox 3.5 in the next few weeks to stamp out several bugs that went unfixed in the final version of the browser, the company said Tuesday. Firefox 3.5.1, which Mozilla intends to deliver in mid-to-late July, will include fixes for at least three bugs and "topcrashes," the term the company uses to describe the frequently-reported crashes. Like many applications, Firefox asks users to report crashes by displaying a prompt after the browser goes down. "[The] goal of this release should be a quick turnaround that fixes topcrashes and bugs we almost held ship for," Mozilla said in notes published after a weekly status meeting. One of the topcrashes scheduled for a fix involves TraceMonkey, the new, faster JavaScript engine that debuted in Firefox 3.5. At least one of the bugs was fixed a week before Mozilla released the final code on Tuesday.

More than 7 million users downloaded Mozilla Corp.'s Firefox 3.0 Web browser during the first 24 hours after its launch, according to the company. A Web metrics company tracking hour-by-hour use of Firefox 3.0 added that the new version quadrupled its market share during the first day. Although Mozilla's download servers were offline for more than an hour Tuesday after the scheduled 1:00 p.m. Eastern launch, 8.3 million copies of the browser were downloaded in the first 24 hours, Mozilla's CEO John Lilly reported Wednesday afternoon. The U.S. led all countries on the download count, with 2.6 million, followed by Germany with more than 662,000, Japan with 403,000 and the U.K. with more than 295,000. Other countries with large numbers of downloads included Canada (223,000), China (173,000), France (290,000) and Iran (250,000). Before Firefox's launch, Mozilla had urged users to help set a single-day download record that it hoped would be sanctioned by the Guinness World Records organization. While there is no current record to beat, Mozilla said last month that it wanted to top the 1.6 million downloads of Firefox 2.0 on its first day in October 2006.

OneRiot is a realtime web search engine. Users search with OneRiot to find the news, videos and blogs that are people are buzzing about right now on the social web. Uniquely, OneRiot delivers search results as they emerge, ordered to reflect current social relevance. OneRiot is a privately held company headquartered in Boulder, Colorado with offices in San Francisco. Instead of crawling and indexing the entire Internet Google-style, OneRiot indexes web pages that are shared on Twitter and Digg, and uses the number of shares of a URL to determine how high it will rank in the search results. As a news article, blog post, or video gets passed around, it gains search relevance. OneRiot’s relevance algorithm has 26 parameters by which it determines a link’s importance. Most important is the sheer number of links to a URL, and the “velocity” — how fast the number of links to a URL has climbed within the past two minutes.This is all done in realtime. Content is indexed within 35 seconds. OneRiot has an API and partnership program for adding realtime search capabilities to browser add-ons, desktop applications, social websites and other services.

The search results are usually presented in a list and are commonly called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input. Before there were web search engines there was a complete list of all webservers. The list was edited by Tim Berners-Lee and hosted on the CERN webserver. One historical snapshot from 1992 remains. As more and more webservers went online the central list could not keep up. On the NCSA site new servers were announced under the title "What's New!" but no complete listing existed any more. The very first tool used for searching on the (pre-web) Internet was Archie. The name stands for "archive" without the "v." It was created in 1990 by Alan Emtage, a student at McGill University in Montreal. The program downloaded the directory listings of all the files located on public anonymous FTP (File Transfer Protocol) sites, creating a searchable database of file names; however, Archie did not index the contents of these sites.
