IT'S ALIVE: Google Wave Will Live On As Apache Wave (GOOG)

The Apache Foundation, the non-profit that supports the open source server software Apache, will take Google Wave into its "incubator program," Google announced in a blog post.

Google Wave was that next generation communications platform that was supposed to replace email, but which nobody could understand or use. Google pulled the plug on Wave in August and Wave (and Maps) founder Lars Rasmussen quit the company for Facebook.

Wave is and was always supposed to be open source so this is a natural evolution for the project. It was always going to continue in some way. And who knows -- maybe a hit product will come out of it.

Comment on Wi-Fi Looks to Keep the Mobile Internet Dream Alive by tom

i understand the benefits of wifi at my home, workplace, etc. and also can see why cable companies might want to offer city wide wifi as an incentive for customers. but is does it really make more sense for the carriers such as AT&T; or verizon to use WIFI instead of deploying picocells, mircocells or whatever is the latest fad in tiny cellular towers? it would certainly keep things a lot simpler for their customers. as smartphones become more commonplace the customers will be less sophisticated and many may not even understand how the wifi capability on there phones work. also with the proliferation of MIFI devices and tethering becoming more common a lot of wifi connections are going to loop back onto the cell networks anyways.
