Google Buys Mobile App Quickoffice
An app that allows mobile device users to get more productivity out of their smartphones and tablets is now a part of Google.The fast-expanding search giant has gobbled up Quickoffice for an undisclosed sum, announcing on its official blog Tuesday that the smaller company, "a leader in office productivity solutions," will now be part of Google's application offerings.
The Quickoffice announcement comes a day after Google announced it had acquired Meebo, a company founded in 2005 that places a content-sharing bar on many popular Web sites. That price tag was reported as $100 million.
Seamless Interoperability "Today, consumers, businesses and schools use Google Apps to get stuff done from anywhere, with anyone and on any device," wrote Alan Warren, Google's engineering director, on the Quickoffice deal.
"Quickoffice has an established track record of enabling seamless interoperability with popular file formats, and we'll be working on bringing their powerful technology to our Apps product suite."
Quickoffice allows editing and creating documents, spreadsheets and presentations that are compatible with Microsoft Office documents,
The move is widely seen as a way for Mountain View, Calif.-based Google to counter the imminent arrival of Microsoft's Office productivity suite on mobile devices running Apple's iOS and Google's Android. Microsoft Office includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, OneNote and other programs, although it's unclear how many of those will make it into the new iOS and Android versions.
A version of Office is already available for Microsoft's Windows Mobile and Windows Phone devices.
Dan Shey, practice director of Mobile Services for ABI Research ,told us Quickoffice has benefited from good timing.
"When they first came out with their mobile office product in the early 2000s, Nokia wanted an enterprise app for their enterprise-class devices," Shey said.
"Nokia spec'd Quickoffice as a preloaded app on every enterprise Nokia smartphone, and later more operators added Quickoffice as...

23:20Patients with major depression who received telephone-administered cognitive behavioral therapy (T-CBT) had lower rates of discontinuing treatment compared to patients who received face-to-face CBT, and telephone administered treatment was not inferior to face-to-face treatment in terms of improvement in symptoms by the end of treatment; however, at 6-month follow-up, patients receiving face-to-face CBT were less depressed than those receiving telephone administered CBT, according to a new study.

23:20Computational drug discovery allows researchers to target a small group of possible molecules for therapeutic use, saving significant time and money. Scientists have now reported on advances in image reconstruction that allow his group to detect the secondary structures of proteins from single particle cryo-electron microscopy.

23:20In a single year, scientists at The New York Botanical Garden have discovered and described 81 new species of plants and fungi from around the world. Combining work in the field, laboratory research, and painstaking study in plant collections, scientists in 2011 correctly identified the palm species that Vietnamese villagers weave into hats, discovered more than a dozen new lichen species in America's most visited national park, and identified new species in a wide variety of plant families.

23:13Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Space Systems' Dream Chaser design passed one of its most complex tests to date with a successful captive-carry test conducted near the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Jefferson County, Colo., on May 29. Just like the space shuttle before it, SNC's Dream Chaser will go through extensive testing to prove its wings will work. The company built a full-scale flight vehicle of the Dream Chaser spacecraft to carry out the evaluations.

23:10It's the final opportunity of the century to witness the rare astronomical reunion of the sun, Venus and Earth. On Tuesday, June 5 or 6, 2012, depending on your location, Venus will make its presence in the solar system visible from Earth's day side. Using special eye safety precautions, viewers may see Venus as a small dot slowly drifting across the golden disk of the sun.

Mathematicians model heat flow in human tears
Mathematicians from the University of Delaware have created a new model of the fluid dynamics and heat flow in human tears. When people blink their eyes, a thin liquid film is spread across the surface of the eye. -
22:24For millennia, mankind has discovered new drugs either through educated guesswork or blind luck. But with the proliferation of advanced computing, a new paradigm has emerged whereby one can find drug targets through simulation and modeling.

22:24An NJIT College of Architecture and Design (COAD) architect who designed an "ice house," reminiscent of an igloo, has received yet another award for his unique residence. The 2012 Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture awards program recently feted NJIT Assistant Professor Matt Burgermaster's design for "Ice Cycle House," a prefabricated "green" residential prototype by featuring the house in its annual book Architectural Education Awards 2011-2012.

22:24Diamond anvil cells (DACs) are used routinely in laboratories to apply extreme pressure to materials, recreating conditions that normally only occur deep in planetary interiors or during certain industrial manufacturing techniques. Under these conditions, however, it is difficult to measure how materials conduct heat.
