The Morning Reboot:
- Nothing is perfect and now that the initial wow factor has faded a little bit, there might be a few things about the iPhone that aren't so great. Our own Gear Lab has a rundown on potential snags in the dream of cellphone perfection.
- The final version of Google Earth 4 has been released. We reviewed the beta a while back, but the final version has some new features that weren't in that beta such as textured buildings.
- Office 2008 for Mac has been announced. The Microsoft BU team has developed a number of Mac-only features and claims the software will be available “in the second half of 2007.”
- According the Washington Post, in an effort to make Windows Vista more secure, Microsoft tapped the expertise of the NSA. From the linked article: “the agency said it has helped in the development of the security of Microsoft's new operating system — the brains of a computer — to protect it from worms, Trojan horses and other insidious computer attackers.”
- And finally, Wired Magazine has a creepy scenario from Jonathan Zittrain, professor of Internet governance and regulation at Oxford University, in which he outlines why the internet is doomed.
