Apple Inc. updated the software that runs its iPhones on Friday in hopes of decreasing dropped calls, improving battery life and cutting the time it takes to synchronize the device with a computer.

Shortly after Apple made the new software available on its iTunes online service, some users offered positive feedback on Internet forums, saying it appeared the device was getting faster at handling key tasks. In contrast, an August update that was supposed to improve the iPhones’ connectivity to high-speed data networks drew mainly negative responses claiming it didn’t work.

Apple also said the new update “improved accuracy of the 3G signal strength display” — meaning the phone would show more “bars” on the connection meter. However, the quality of the connection was not necessarily affected by the update.

Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple said the new software will also improve e-mail reliability and reduce crashing applications. Besides complaining about such bugs — which have given Apple’s high-end reputation some relatively rare knocks — iPhone owners have grumbled about missing text messages. After the update is installed, the device will chirp its text message alert several times.

Shares of Apple fell $4.16, or 2.7 percent, to $148.49 in afternoon trading.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc has bought Korean blogging software developer Tatter and Company, the two companies said on Friday.

The companies did not disclose how much Google paid for the acquisition.

Tatter co-chief executive Chang-Won Kim announced the deal on his personal blog in an entry titled “We’ve been Googled!,” saying that the acquisition would help Google increase its market share in the country.

Kim described Google’s market share in Korea as “minor” and said Korean Web users mainly use portals such as Yahoo Inc’s.

Korea has the ninth-highest number of Internet users in the world, according to Internet World Stats, a Web site that tracks such data.

Google said in an e-mailed statement the acquisition will “allow us to enhance our publishing tools in Korea.”

Tatter owns a blogging platform called Textcube, which Kim said was popular among Korean bloggers. Blogs are Web journals where people typically write opinions and link to other material on the Internet.

As part of Google, the company will try to introduce Textcube to bloggers outside Korea, Kim added.

Google already owns a blogging software called Blogger, which it acquired in 2003.

Shares of Google closed Friday’s session up nearly 1 percent at $437.66 on the Nasdaq.

Myth 1: Separate processes for each tab

This seems to be the most hyped feature of Google Chrome - the one everyone seems to be very excited about after having Firefox crashes caused by a process running in one of the tabs. Unfortunately, there is some disappointment here as this approach is far from new and it is even used in Internet Explorer 8 beta - the browser everyone thinks Chrome is intended to compete with. Microsoft named this “tab isolation” and the feature description reads: “If a website or add-on causes a tab to crash in Internet Explorer 8, only that tab is affected. The browser itself remains stable and other tabs remain unaffected, thereby minimizing any disruption to your browsing experience.” Does not it sound familiar after all those reviews of Chrome everyone must have read already?

Myth 2: New V8 JavaScript virtual machine

Sure, everyone knows we rely on various JavaScript-powered applications quite a lot these days. And everyone seems to be aware that the way existing browsers handle JavaScript code is far from perfect and needs to be improved. And everyone is not only Google - guys from Firefox are smart enough as well and they’ve been in web browsing business long enough to realize what the market needs now. So they have also promised to add a virtual JavaScript machine to Firefox - as soon as in version 3.1 actually.

Myth 3: Private browsing

Ah, Google is a smart company, smart enough that people visit porn sites more frequently than they claim. And private browsing that does not leave any traces of browsing on a user’s computer is sure something that could be appealing to a huge portion of web population. And Google, the smart Google, is here with a solution: Incognito for browsing. And while this sounds cool, it is nothing new with the same feature already available in Internet Explorer 8 - but under another name: InPrivate.

Myth 4: Privacy

We’ve heard authoritative opinions that Chrome is not sending any information from a user’s computer to Google’s servers but this myth was also debunked pretty soon. The thing is that Chrome’s address and search bar “Omnibox” with auto-suggestion enabled actually sends all the characters typed by a user to Google servers (even before the user hits enter) if Google is set as a default search engine. And even after Google provides suggestions based on those keystrokes, Google will keep about 2% of this information along with the IP addresses that send those characters to Google. This is certainly supposed to raise concerns in those users already worried about the volume of information Google already has for almost every internet user.

Myth 5: Malware and phishing protection

Google Chrome is very proud of constantly downloading information on websites that are known to be insecure for a web user to visit and warning the users of potential malware and phishing threats. This sounds innovative and useful enough but actually Internet Explorer seems to already offer something very similar as a SmartScreen Filter for the very same purpose of protecting a user from malware and phishing attacks.

Myth 6: Domain Highlighting

While many of liked how Chrome highlights domain names to help us easier understand exactly what site we are browsing. But I guess those surprised are simply those web users that have not seen Internet Explorer 8 yet as Microsoft’s beta browser offers exactly the same highlighting functionality:

Internet Explorer 8 beta:

Myth 7: Groups for tabs

It is no doubt a great idea for Chrome to introduce groups for tabs. Groups mean that when you open a link from one of your tabs, it will be opened in a tab located right next to the current one instead of as the last rightmost tab. This is intended to keep all the tabs connected to each other grouped in bundles together. Very cool and definitely a needed enhancement for tabbed browsing but unfortunately not introduced by Google - take a look at Internet Explorer 8 again, will you?

Myth 8: Improved find on page

Same here - an exact copy of Internet Explorer functionality. The idea is that when you click Ctrl+F to find some text on the page you are currently browsing, the browser will start searching immediately instead of waiting for you to type in the entire search term and hit ‘Enter’. Besides, all the matches will be highlighted immediately instead of making you go from the current to the next one. And this is not pioneered by Chrome either - Internet Explorer 8 has exactly the same functionality. The only difference between the two browsers is that Chrome highlights the first match in orange and the rest of them in yellow while IE highlights the first one in blue with the rest of them in… yellow as well.

Myth 9: Resizing input text boxes

It must look like a cool functionality that you can resize the input box when you type a comment somewhere on Reddit or FriendFeed. But Google is not the first to the game with this enhancement either: Safari has been doing it for a while now and I believe it has something to do with Chrome and Safari using the same WebKit rendering engine.

Myth 10: Standards compatibility

Sure, when Google launches something we expect immediately that it will be the most advanced something meeting all the industry standards. Unfortunately there’s an unpleasant surprise for us here: Chrome does not show perfect results in ACID2 and ACID3 standards compatibility tests. And while it performs better than stable versions of other popular browsers, it is still outperformed by development releases of Firefox, Opera, and Safari. So no matter how advanced this one may be, we should not expect it to be 100% compliant and actually the best browser of those currently in development.

So after demystifying some of the latest and greatest approaches to browsing in Chrome I can say that it is absolutely not visible that Google is so much of an innovator in this particular case: they simply took the best features and ideas from existing browsers (or just listened to what users wanted browsers to do) and wrapped them into a very pompous launch of Chrome.

Besides, it must mean that we as web users simply tend to love everything about Google much more than anything about Microsoft so we have barely noticed very similar features in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 beta but now that Google introduces them we have overhyped them as much as we could. Now tell me why our affection towards the company behind a product is more important than the product itself?
