Oblix Joins Oracle

Oblix Joins Oracle 03/29/2005 06:33 AM
In an open letter to Oblix customers, Rick Simmons, Vice President of Oblix inc. announced plans that the company would be merging with Oracle.

"The union of our two companies will provide an even greater security solution for our customers ...... the combined strength of Oracle's worldwide presence and its extensive software and services business coupled with Oblix's products, people, and vision bring to the industry an unprecedented ability to build identity into software infrastructure and applications while continuing to deliver a new generation of identity offerings"

Oblix is a privately held developer of identity-based security solutions for heterogeneous computing environments. Originally founded in 1996, the company is a leading developer of identity management software that allows web access control including Single Sign On (SSO), identity administration and user provisioning. Oblix also provides security and regulatory compliance solutions.

The merger benefits Oracle customers and will provide them with a complete solution for securely managing identities. Oracle recently purchased software company Peoplesoft in a bid to maintain it's presence as a global heavyweight in the industry. It faces increased competition from the likes of Microsoft who has big plans for identity management software in the next revision of Windows, codenamed Longhorn.

Effective today, you can find out more about the merger here.

EA Sports is showing off screenshots of 'Madden: Next Gen,' the working name for the version of Madden for a "next generation" console. We have it on good word (and really, it's sort of obvious, timing-wise) that it's a live render of a shot on the Xbox 360. ESPN will be running a 30 second clip of the game during the NFL draft coverage on April 23rd.

One thing is already certain about this upcoming console war: Microsoft is making a lot more noise than anybody else. (Thanks, Lumpia!)

Tiger Mail screenshot and user interface

Tiger Mail screenshot and user interface 03/30/2005 05:35 PM
I find the screenshot of Mail for OS X 10.4 fascinating.

The first thing I notice is that the mailboxes aren’t in a drawer anymore, which I think is a good thing.

A few other things:

1. The toolbar background appears to be some sort of gradient. As in a metal window, there is no line between the top of the window and the toolbar buttons. But it’s not metal. It looks new. (The screenshot of system preferences has the same look.)

2. The toolbar icons appear to be embedded in some kind of new button. Whether it’s a new button style or just a look for the Mail toolbar icons I can’t tell from the screenshot.

3. The mailbox list has a background color. This may or may not be customizable—you can’t tell from the screenshot. It’s a good guess that, if customizable, the color shown is the default color. This is interesting because I can’t think of any other source lists from Apple that have colored backgrounds by default.

4. The vertical splitview dividing the mailboxes from the rest of the window is not a standard splitview. (Unless it’s new in OS X 10.4.) (Actually, I’m just assuming it’s a splitview.) Note how the apparent thickness of the divider is zero. The horizontal splitview looks more like a standard splitview—though I’ve squinted at it a bit and started to wonder if that’s true.

5. I don’t see a status bar. (It could be that, like Safari, the status bar is hidden by default. Or it could be that it was added after this screenshot was taken. Or maybe there just isn’t one. I don’t know.)

So... what do you think?

(Note: remember to respect any and all non-disclosure agreements. We’re just looking at public screenshots. And these screenshots may or may not resemble the final, shipping versions.)
