Xobni is a San Francisco-based email startup. It was founded in March 2006 by Adam Smith and Matt Brezina from Adam’s dorm room in Cambridge, Massachusetts as part of the Y Combinator summer founder’s program. In late 2006, it relocated to San Francisco when the founders felt that the environment there was more suited to grow their company.

In March 2007, Xobni raised US$4.26 million from Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, and Atomico, along with a number of angel investors.

Xobni’s first product, Xobni Insight, was launched into private beta on September 18, 2007, at the TechCrunch 40 conference. Xobni Insight plugs into Microsoft Outlook and offers fast search and people-based navigation of email archives. The company has hinted at plans to offer the same functionality for other email clients. Xobni Insight has received mostly positive coverage, although initial versions had performance problems on large inboxes. The company opened its beta to the public on May 5, 2008 and has since garnered media coverage from a number of blogs and media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe and Cnet.

In February 2008, Xobni hired Jeff Bonforte, a Vice President at Yahoo!, as their CEO. In the same month, Bill Gates gave a demo of Xobni at the Office Developers’ Conference. This led to rumors of a US$20 million acquisition by Microsoft, which the company reportedly rejected.

Cisco Systems, which has been expanding its workplace collaboration tools, has taken an interest in Xobni. Xobni announced on January 5, 2009 that it closed a $7 million round of financing, its second, with Cisco as a new investor. The company’s previous investors Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, Baseline Ventures and Atomico also participated. The website CrunchBase has total funding at $14.6 million for the San Francisco based software development company.

There have been a lot of questions since the product release of how Xobni planned to make money and the scope of their products. In July of 2009 Xobni released a paid version of its product called Xobni Plus, offered initially for $30. Xobni Plus includes features such as advanced search, appointment search, the ability to search multiple PST archives, no ads, and one year support. In Free Studio version 4.2 Xobni is included in the .exe setup.

“Xobni” is the word “inbox” spelled backwards. It is pronounced Zob-nee.

VLC media player is a free and open source media player and multimedia framework written by the VideoLAN project.

VLC is a portable multimedia player, encoder, and streamer supporting many audio and video codecs and file formats as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It is able to stream over networks and to transcode multimedia files and save them into various formats. VLC used to stand for VideoLAN Client, but that initialism is now deprecated.

It is one of the most platform-independent media players available, with versions for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BeOS, and BSD.

The default distribution of VLC includes a large number of free decoding and encoding libraries; on the Windows platform, this greatly reduces the need for finding/calibrating proprietary plugins. Many of VLC’s codecs are provided by the libavcodec library from the FFmpeg project, but it uses mainly its own muxer and demuxers. It also gained distinction as the first player to support playback of encrypted DVDs on Linux by using the libdvdcss DVD decryption library.

PrimoPDF is a freeware program that creates a PDF file from Microsoft Windows documents. It works as a virtual printer. It does not present the user with advertisements. PrimoPDF is developed by the same company that develops the commercial Nitro PDF software.

PrimoPDF requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. When the program runs, it connects with www.primopdf.com each time it prints. This can be stopped with a firewall, or by disabling automatic updates within the program settings. It uses the Ghostscript file format converter and RedMon (software) printer redirection software.

According to its documentation, PrimoPDF has the following features:

• Consistent PDF creation. Use PrimoPDF’s creation profiles to produce the same kind of PDF file every time. Profiles include Screen, eBook, Print, Prepress, and Custom.
• Append PDF files. Combine each newly created PDF file into the one PDF.
• Secure PDF. Protect and encrypt your information with strong password-based PDF security.
• PDF metadata. Set the document properties information fields, — including author, title, subject, and keywords—to index your PDF files and make them easier to search.
• PDF versions. Create different version PDF files: 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5

Python is a general-purpose high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python aims to combine “remarkable power with very clear syntax”, and its standard library is large and comprehensive. Its use of indentation for block delimiters is unusual among popular programming languages.

Python supports multiple programming paradigms, primarily but not limited to object oriented, imperative and, to a lesser extent, functional programming styles. It features a fully dynamic type system and automatic memory management, similar to that of Scheme, Ruby, Perl, and Tcl. Like other dynamic languages, Python is often used as a scripting language, but is also used in a wide range of non-scripting contexts.

The reference implementation of Python (CPython) is free and open source software and has a community-based development model, as do all or nearly all of its alternative implementations. CPython is managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation.

Google Earth is a virtual globe, map and geographic information program that was originally called EarthViewer 3D, and was created by Keyhole, Inc, a company acquired by Google in 2004. It maps the Earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS 3D globe. It is available under three different licenses: Google Earth, a free version with limited functionality; Google Earth Plus (discontinued), which included additional features; and Google Earth Pro ($400 per year), which is intended for commercial use.

The product, re-released as Google Earth in 2005, is currently available for use on personal computers running Windows 2000 and above, Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above, Linux Kernel: 2.4 or later (released on June 12, 2006), and FreeBSD.

In addition to releasing an updated Keyhole based client, Google also added the imagery from the Earth database to their web based mapping software. The release of Google Earth in June 2005 to the public caused a more than tenfold increase in media coverage on virtual globes between 2005 and 2006, driving public interest in geospatial technologies and applications.
