-Adobe has officially unleashed its new cross-OS runtime designed to bring rich internet apps to the desktop. Previously code-named Apollo in the developer preview releases, Adobe is calling the first open beta "[Adobe AIR][1]" with AIR standing for Adobe Integrated Runtime. The final version of Adobe AIR will be released toward the end of the year.
-
-More than just a formal release to new Adobe AIR is also significantly different than the developer preview version in that it can run HTML/Javascript applications rather than just Flash. The enlarged scope of AIR pits it directly against Microsoft's [Silverlight][4] offering as well as, to a certain extent, the recently released [Google Gears][5].
-
-Today's beta is designed to give developers a head start creating applications with AIR and includes some other new features beyond the HTML support. Adobe has also announced a new [Dreamweaver extension][2] to help HTML developers build AIR applications.
-
-Today's AIR beta also sees the inclusion of PDF support and, like Google Gears, includes a SQLite database allowing developers to easily store data on the client side.
-
-The AIR runtime environment is a 8MB download from the Adobe site and note that when the final version ships the runtime will not be a requirement. Adobe says that developers will be able to package applications as standalone executable files (which presumably contain the runtime environment much the way Flash movies can also be packaged as executables).
-
-If you previously the alpha runtime you'll need to delete that before you install the beta, though Adobe says that step won't be necessary with subsequent beta release. Unfortunately Adobe doesn't provide any information on how to go about uninstalling the alpha.
-
-So far there isn't much in the way of [demo apps][3]. The Adobe site lists an AIR version of its [Kuler color picker app][6], as well as some mapping applications and an RSS reader. EBay is expected to release an AIR-based application in the near future, but for the moment AIR remains largely a developer release.

-Privacy International has come out with a report listing Google as the worst company on the web when it comes to protecting user privacy. Privacy International (PI) gave Google the [dismay rating][1] based on criteria like failing to provide an expunge option for retained data, failing to adhere to generally accepted privacy practices and failing to provide clear information on the length of time user data is retained.
-
-Privacy is understandably a touchy subject with users and Privacy International's report is fairly damning which makes for massively bad PR for Google.
-
-However there's a few things to note about PI's report. First off one of PI's board members is employed by Microsoft. 
-
-While it seems unlikely that one person could influence a [70 person board][2] to skew a report to damage a competitor, it does beg the question why there are no representatives from Google (or for that matter Yahoo or any of the other large internet firms).
-
-PI has published an [open letter][3] accusing Google of trying to conduct a smear campaign against the organization. According to the letter:
-
->Two European journalists have independently told us that Google representatives have contacted them with the claim that "Privacy International has a conflict of interest regarding Microsoft". I presume this was motivated because Microsoft scored an overall better result than Google in the rankings...
-
-If that claim is in fact true and Google's plan to minimize the bad press from the report is to imply bias, it seems likely to backfire. The fact is Google does collect a fair amount of personal data and has already be repeated criticized for failing to clearly delineate how long it retains that data.
-
-However it's worth bearing in mind that many other company's are just as bad and possibly worse. 
-
-Danny Sullivan over at Search Engine Land has a [pointed critique][4] of the PI report that offers a point by point analysis of PI's claims about Google. 
-
-Sullivan concludes that "overall, looking at just the performance of the best companies PI found shows that Google measures up well -- and thus ranking it the worse simply doesn't seem fair." 
-
-I tend to agree with Sullivan, however, the truth is even the best company's in PI's report track data at a level that might have some reaching for the tin foil hat.
-
-So what do you think? Are you worried about Google (or anyone else) knowing what you're doing on the internet? Or are you happy to give Google all your base? Or perhaps more cynically, is information gathering just so rampant that it isn't even possible to fight anymore? Let us know in the comments below.

Predictions have been rampant in the last few days about what his Jobsness will reveal this morning.
-
-I'll refrain from weighing in myself, but I thought I would point out a prediction I agree with: the brushed metal interface is history. Expect all of leopard's interface to utilize the sort of muted grey windows and toolbars that iTunes and some other apps have switched to in the last year.
-
-For a humorous spin on where Brushed Metal is headed, have a read through John Gruber's hilarious post over at Daring Fireball entitled: [An Anthropomorphized Brushed Metal Interface Theme Shows Up for the WWDC Preview Build of Mac OS X Leopard][1]. And okay, maybe hilarious is stretching it a bit, but if you're a Mac nerd it should make you smile.

-Neither Google nor Microsoft are strangers to antitrust accusations, but recently the two have been butting heads more frequently. Last month Microsoft asked the federal government to review Google's proposed merger with DoubleClick and now it seems, according to the New York Times, that Google has been doing the same behind closed doors.
-
-The New York Times [reports][1] that Google filed a confidential complaint with the Justice Department several months ago asking that the government force Microsoft to alter Vista's desktop search behavior claiming antitrust violations.
-
-Google claims that Vista's indexing behavior cannot be turned off and alternative service (namely Google Desktop) thus create an additional drag on system resource (making them appear less effective).
-
-According to The Times:
-
->When the Google and Vista search programs are run simultaneously on a computer, their indexing programs slow the operating system considerably, Google contended. As a result, Google said that Vista violated Microsoft’s 2002 antitrust settlement, which prohibits Microsoft from designing operating systems that limit the choices of consumers. 
-
-
-Similar charges about Internet Explorer being embedded into the OS are what landed Microsoft in its famous antitrust suit in the 1990s. However the actual suit began with charges that Microsoft bullied Compaq by threatening to terminate of Compaq's Windows license agreement if it bundled the Netscape browser with Windows.
-
-As a result of that case Microsoft worked with the US government before Vista's release to ensure that no violations were present and the government officials gave Vista the thumbs up. 
-
-Perhaps it's not surprising then that Thomas Barnett, who heads the Justice Department's antitrust division, circulated a memo to state Attorney Generals asking them to reject Google's complaint. 
-
-However, many might be surprised to learn that, as The Times points out, Barnett also happens to be the former vice chair of the antitrust and consumer protection practice group at the DC law firm Covington & Burling -- a firm that represented Microsoft throughout its antitrust suit.
-
-The Times chocks the memo up to "the political transformation of Microsoft, as well as the shift in antitrust policy between officials appointed by President Bill Clinton and by President Bush."
