A few hours ago, I posted "[URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story263673.html"]Is Microsoft the New SCO?[/URL]" but now I realize, after a little research, that [URL="http://www.amazon.com"]Amazon[/URL] and [URL="http://www.microsoft.com"]Microsoft[/URL] are in this patent agreement for one reason: so that Amazon can abandon Linux on its Kindle in favor of Windows 7. Crazy? Nope. It makes perfect …

Three Google executives have been found guilty and given six month suspended sentences in a case revolving around the posting of a video to YouTube which shows a teenager with Down's Syndrome being bullied. According to the [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8533695.stm"]BBC[/URL] Google itself is none too happy with the verdict, quoting the Chief …

I never really heard of "Buzz" until today when I am logging into my Gmail account and I was welcome to a Buzz login. I like the little colorful logo and it seems it integrates tweet feeds and other "friends" on your gmail account address book. But what do you …

When you are dealing with a populations as large as China's, even when you take into consideration that three quarters of the population doesn't have internet access, you are still talking about a very large number of those who do. So it's no surprise that Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! want …

Google Buzz was not a great moment in the history of Google. It seemed to bring to the surface a lot of lingering bad feelings that people have been having about Google for some time. The botched Buzz release only made it worse, confirming people's worst fears that Google didn't …

I realized last week that somehow inexplicably, Microsoft has become the underdog. Want proof? The US Justice Department *and* the EU approved the search deal with Yahoo! That the United States approved the deal is not really news because Justice has rarely met a deal it didn't like no matter …

Hi, Does anyone have any information on Google and Bing planning to include Twitter posts within their searches? This sounds really bizarre or will it be in a seperate search function? Anyone heard anything about this?

Lately everyone on the Web has been wanting to know about one thing Google Buzz, well I'm tired of that subject. I would probably write about a different company but when I found out that [URL="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/pictures-worth-thousand-translated.html"]Google is getting into the food industry[/URL], I felt that I had to write about …

I wish I had gotten this story before the [URL="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/techchron/detail?entry_id=57438&o=3&gta=commentslistpos#commentslistpos"]San Fransisco Chronicle[/URL] or [URL="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-10455573-71.html?tag=rtcol;pop"]Cnet,[/URL] but the truth is they got it before me. A lady in Florida got a team of lawyers to sue Google, the Search Engine firm in San Fransisco, CA for breaching her privacy with Google Buzz. …

[URL="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/techchron/detail?entry_id=57438&o"]Someone sued Google[/URL] the other day for violating her privacy with the original implementation of Google Buzz. You see, when you first opened Google Buzz last week, Google looked at the people you most frequently email or chat with and used that list of people to seed your followers list. …

We already know that the [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story254897.html"]US military has embraced the social networking concept[/URL], and that [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story257648.html"]Twitter accounts are becoming valuable commodities[/URL], now it looks like the advertising industry is throwing money at Facebook in terms of spend - and doing so at the expense of Google. New Media Age is …

Google, the almighty, [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story245746.html"]non-eco-friendly search engine[/URL] released [URL="http://www.google.com/buzz"]Google Buzz[/URL], a new type of social network this Tuesday.

Has anyone successfully created a heat map of the world using Google map? I read in few places that its possible but cannot seem to find the correct way to do it. I need to create a heat map which is based on the global map, and shows the performance …

As I make my way around the internet today, I'm not finding a lot of love for Google Buzz. In fact, people have been downright hostile to it, from what I can figure. Here are some Tweets from my knowledgeable friends: * @[URL="http://twitter.com/theskypirate"]theskypirate[/URL]: I tried Buzz for a day, was …

Buried in all the Google Buzz hype today was a[URL="http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/10/google-fiber-optic-network-home/"] little story on TechCrunch[/URL] that Google is planning to offer [I]1 gigabit-per-second[/I], super-duper, high-speed fiber-optic cable in up to 50,000 homes in the US shortly. This is more significant to me than Google taking on Facebook. Think about this for …

Wow! That's a lot of display-ad sales. Google is expected to generate $1 billion in sales this year from display advertising. Although that's only a meagre 4% or so of the total Google sales expected in 2010, it's still a pretty stellar performance given the overall state of the online …

Now this is interesting. I'm not going to insult you by explaining Google Buzz in here - it's been done elsewhere and if you're a member of this site then you probably know about it already. But... I'm interested in the reaction. It's a sort of collective 'so what'? Granted …

Google is reportedly coming out with a [URL="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_creating_twitter_clone_for_gmail.php"]Twitter-like tool[/URL] this week. Google's tried social a few times, but it hasn't done very well. Why are people so excited about it this time? It's important to remember that everything Google touches doesn't turn to gold. Sometimes they screw up. Sometimes they …

Three men have been arrested, and what is thought to be a training site for hackers closed down, as Chinese officials get tough in the wake of the [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story252590.html"]Google Gmail human rights hacking scandal[/URL].

The day that Google announced its Nexus One retail strategy, [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story250839.html"]I wrote a post[/URL] pulling no punches that I thought it was a horrible idea. If [URL="http://www.tuaw.com/2010/01/14/nexus-one-sells-only-20-000-phones-its-first-week/"]first week sales figures[/URL] are any indication, I am being proven right. What's more, Google appears to be cannibalizing their own ad space to …

I started playing around with ranking videos on Youtube. I noticed that in the Youtube search results the keywords from the search are bolded in the Title and Description. I would magine the name of the video files is another factor. I also surmise that the newer videos get preference. …

Earlier this week [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story244378.html"]I read a very interesting article [/URL]written by my colleague Davey Winder about the new search engine[URL="http://www.ecosia.org"] Ecosia[/URL].

Well i have been following the google OS (where in work is still going on ) for a pretty long time and when i have been through their whitepapers where they mentioned about SPDY protocol (which is an extension of TCP/IP and not to mention pretty faster than the conventional …

When Google developed the Nexus One, they might not have figured on one huge unintended consequence. They [URL="http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/01/googles-dont-be-evil-mantra-is-bullshit-adobe-is-lazy-apples-steve-jobs/#ixzz0eaEaTQsI"]pissed off Steve Jobs[/URL] big time.

I got an invite and have now joined for 2 months. But sadly enough i still haven't be able to see real benefits of it. I added some of friends but never see them online. I wonder if GW will really works? I think GW will only work if people …

Every time I go to search something in the built in search bar in either IE8 or Safari, every link redirects me to a completely different address. I have ben using google as my default search engine, but the problem started when I had Bing set as the default. When …

The deadline for authors to object to the inclusion of their works on [URL="http://books.google.com/"]Google Books[/URL] is approaching. Google maintains that this will bring books to loads more people than before and authors including [URL="http://www.ursulakleguin.com"]Ursula Le Guin[/URL] maintain Google is trying to walk off with people's copyright.

For a while it looked like the [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story252590.html"]Google threat[/URL] to pull out of China was just a load of hot air, and pretty late hot air at that considering [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story253371.html"]it had taken years[/URL] for the search giant to realise that [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry4434.html"]state censorship is a bad thing[/URL].

We seem to have reached one of those pivotal moments that come along every so often where the big three--Google, Microsoft and Apple-are fighting particularly hard to gain a dominant position. Of course, this is a constant battle, but for some reason it feels more acute to me lately. Maybe …
