Google Womed With iPhone Internet Usage Rate

Internet has now become an inherent part of our life; and web search the most fulfilling user experience. It has not only made place, but also at the same time made information and interactivity a lot easier.
Apart from experiencing Internet in computers all these years, mobile internet is also becoming quite a rage now.


In spite of internet access on mobile being a useful proposition, the high rates and confusing data service plans for consumers have raised doubts about the cost effectiveness and alarm of impending hefty service charges. However, since the advent of internet connectivity in Apple iPhones, mobile internet search has never been any better.

And this has been endorsed by the search engine giant Google, who in the recent Mobile World Congress (MWC) has revealed that iPhone originates 50 times more searches than any other mobile handset.
This owes credit to the superb user interfaces and simple, structured internet plans in iPhones, which encourage more internet usage in comparison to other mobile services.

The response of web search from iPhone has been so overwhelming that Google misinterpreted it as an error and ordered revising of the logs; to realize that the stats were true. There are also reports from Apple's U.K service provider, 02, which estimated that 60 percent of iPhone users in the U.K send or receive more than 25 MB of data a month.

In addition, statistics released by AT&T, United States carrier, the average revenue per iPhone user is almost double that of a person with a standard mobile handset because of the heavier data download rate for the iPhone.

Google is optimistic that other handset manufacturers go Apple's way in making web access easy, the number of mobile searches will overtake fixed internet searches in the next few years.

This super connectivity from iPhones has also been a great motivator for Google, who insists that other mobiles should also take a cue from iPhones and work towards providing similiar services.

Industry experts opine that mobile internet usage is a budding and potentially profitable market, but remain largely untapped with existing mobile phones, other than iPhones.

Microsoft's Bing hit by costly security loophole

It has spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to take on Google, but Microsoft's Bing search engine faced embarrassment last week after it emerged that a security loophole could allow users to skim huge sums of money from the system without its knowledge.

The security glitch, which is linked to a "cash back" system operated by Bing, potentially leaves users and retailers exposed to fake transactions. But despite an outcry online over the existance of the loophole, the world's largest software company has responded to the issue by threatening legal action against the man who discovered the problem.

The furore surrounds Bing's 'cash back' system, intended to encourage internet users to opt for its search engine instead of Google. First launched last year, before Microsoft rebranded its search website, the affiliate scheme offers users the chance to earn money back for every product they buy through the service.

According to the site, Microsoft says, "Bing cashback is a great way for you to save money when you shop online... Yot'll earn a percentage of the product price as cashback."

But a technical flaw in the system was discovered by US entrepreneur Samir Meghani, the co-founder of price comparison website Bountii, who found that the way Bing cashback works means that a small piece of computer code could result in huge sums of money being credited to somebody's account.

Flaw

The 'obvious flaw', he suggested, could also be used to block other users from getting their legitimate savings. "I've never bought anything using Bing Cashback, but the balance of my account is $2,080.06," he wrote. "I'm not going to explain exactly how to generate the fake requests so that they actually post, but it's not complicated."

Meghani said that he received a letter from the company's lawyers asking him to take down his post on the subject-or face the consequences.

"Microsoft views the misuse of its programs and resultant injury extremely seriously," the company's lawyers told him in a letter published on the blog. "If necessary, Microsoft is prepared to consider further action to protect its rights."

News of the glitch comes at an awkward moment for Microsoft and Bing, which launched in May under its new name. The software major is desperate to outstrip the dominance of Google, and tap into the lucrative search engine advertising market.

But after the relaunch and a hugely expensive marketing campaign, Bing still handles less than nine per cent of all search traffic in the US, and an even smaller amount of queries worlwide.

Microsoft vs. Google: Office Web Will Kill Google Docs

As Google positions itself for a future of web-based operating systems and applications, a new reality is about to intervene: Microsoft Office 2010, with both web and stand-alone versions, will kill Google Docs. Long live, Office Web!


Maybe Google will be able to rescue something from its Docs misadventure, but it better do something quick. Microsoft says it can solve big customers' big complaint about Google Docs and will do so at a price Google understand: Free.

Here's the gripe:
Corporate IT doesn't think Google Docs are a secure place for important information. Microsoft will deal with this by offering something Google doesn't, the ability to host Office Web on the customer's own servers.

And Microsoft will include this capability--for free--as part of all Office 2010 volume-licensing agreements. Ok, that isn't totally free, but for customers who will upgrade to Office 2010 it's a nice value add.
It is also something Microsoft could easily package with other deals, such as server operating systems and even Windows 7, as an incentive to upgrade.


With Microsoft is offering will seem close enough to free to entice customers who considered Google Docs and backed away. There will, of course, also be the free version of Office Web on Microsoft's own servers as a try-before-you-buy.

Bottom line: Google Docs are underwhelming and the company needs to move quickly, it's just that simple.

But, it gets worse.

Here's the double- whammy: The mere existence of an online Office suite is enoui to send Google Docs to the great beyond. Why have "sort-of compatible" Google Docs when you can have "100 percent" compatible no-brainer online apps from Microsoft?

This is another manifestation of the Microsoft that is starting to play rough with Google, formerly treated as a bit of a handsome rogue by Redmond's masses.

And the attack has multiple fronts. Besides Office Web taking on Google Docs, Bing is slowly finding a niche, maybe even a profitable one, as a Google alternative. And Chrome OS doesn't seem to be off to the rosy start Google might lead us to believe.

While Google is more nimble and carries the cachet of coolness, Microsoft is rolling back into town and looks like, where Google is concerned, it won't be taking prisoners.

Isn't it nice to once more be watching a really competitive industry?

Despite the hype, Google Chrome browser slow to gain adaption

Positioning itself as a reluctant entract to the market, Google stated dramatically that it had no other choice given its deep dissatisfaction with existing browsers, specifically with their speed and performance running Web applications. This browser wasn't a side project, Google said, but rather a serious endeavor with far-reaching implications for the future of its online services and applications.

It was an epic move: the mighty Google, Like Achilles, marching into battle. The problem is, Chrome hasn't precisely turned things around as the mythical hero did, mercilessly and unequivocally, on behalf of the Greeks against the Trojans.

With a modest market share of about 4 percent, Chrome, which was launched on Sept. 1 last year, hasn't yet come close to approaching market leader Internet Explorer, nor the second-most-popular browser, Firefox. "To date, Chrome really hasn't had the success that I suspect Google had anticipated for it," said Sheri McLeish, a Forrester analyst.

As it turns out, Chrome has more than a few Achilles heels.

For starters, it doesn't exist for Mac OS and Linux users, two camps full of technology enthusiasts and early adapters. The Mac OS and Linux versions are delayed. To make matters worse, the doors of most workplaces, particularly large enterprises, remain closed to Chrome because it lacks basic features that IT departments need.

While google will remedy these two issues at some point, there are other obstacles to Chrome's adoption that may be harder to fix.

One is the widespread ignorance among many consumers about browsers, and their tendency to default to the one that comes with their PC. Another issue goes back to a question asked repeatedly at Chrome's launch: Does the world need another browser? Or put another way: Does an improvement to justify switching to it?

Google certainly didn't help Chrome's chances to sprint out of the gate by releasing it as a beta product that was quite rough around the edges. Not only was Chrome unstable and buggy at first, but it didn't play well with many Web sites, including some of Google's own, because Google made its release a surprise and didn't give webmasters advance notice to adapt their sites.

Tech Laggards IBM and AMD: Earnings Issues or Galleon Case?

IBM and Advanced Micro Devices were some of the worst laggards in the S&P tech sector index Friday, down roughly 5% and 7.3% respectively.(Only Micron Technologies was lower, at 8.1%) At first glance, it seemed like earnings issues were to blame.

When it reported earnings Tsurday, IBM slightly exceeded analyst' profit estimate with a 14% increase in third-quarter net income. Its shares slipped after hours and they stumbled out of the gate today, apparently on some sings of weakness in its services business in its numbers.

Likewise, AMD reported a narrower-than-analysts-thought loss when it reported, also on Tsursday. Even so, investors seemed to to have lingering worries about Sunnyvale, Calif.-based chip maker's ability to improve business. Its shares fell after the opening bell.

That all seems fairly straight-forward. But with the Feds crowing over "the largest hedge fund insider-trading case ever charged criminally" and the perp walk of Galleon Group's founder Raj Rajaratnam in heavy rotation on the news channels, we also figured it was worth pointing out that AMD and IBM were tied-somewhat tangentially - to today's big insider trading case.

In fact, Robert Moffat, a senior vice president at IBM, was charged criminally in the case. Authoroties allege that he told a woman named Danielle Chiesi of New Castle Partners LLC inside information regarding AMD. Chiesi is said to have passed that info on to Rajaratnam.

So did the case seem to add to the selloff of IBM and AMD? It's tough to say. IBM shares did dip a bit after 10:30 a.m., not long after the news broke. But the shares didn't make such a sharp move you could clearly pin on the Galleon case. AMD's share moves told pretty much the same story.

And of course, there were plenty of other companies touched upon in today's insider trading going's on. Some were even tied - or should we say cuffed-closer than others. Besides IBM's Moffat, Rajiv Goel, director in strategic investments at Intel Corp.'s investment arm, was charged criminally.

And the big fish in this case, Rajaratnam, is alleged to have received nonpublic information about Polycom Inc., Hilton Hotels Corp. And Google Inc., and improperly traded on that info. Authorities also allegedly received inside information regarding Akamai Technologies. It's tough to say the case caused share slides.

But let's just say it wasn't a good day for some of the companies who showed up in the government's accusations. Polycom fell 1.6%. Akamai declined 1.1%. Intel was off by 2.4%. On the other hand, Moody's Corp-a source from the credit rater allegedly provided inside information on Hilton-was up 0.3% on the day. And Google didn't seem to suffer at all, rising 3.8% Friday.

Google Page Rank

What is Page Rank?

Page Rank is a link ranking algorithm measured between 0-10 introduced by Google. As many of us would believe it is called
Page Rank due to how Google views your webpage,
how many links point to the page etc, thus how Google ranks your page. It was called Page Rank after one of the founders of Google, Larry Page.


How is Page Rank calculated?

Putting it very simply, Page Rank is calculated by the volume of links that point to and from a webpage, the greater volume of websites pointing to your WebPages the higher the Page Rank.

Where Did Page Rank Come From?

Page Rank was first developed at Stanford University by Larry Page and later Sergey brin, the co founders of Google. Development of the project began in 1995 and soon became Google, the search engine power house we know today.

Check You Page Rank

Checking your Google Page Rank is very simple, a variety of tools exist on the web today such as SEO toolbars and online tools to check Page Rank from multiple data centers. Both sources are a great way to check how your site is comparing to the competition.

Google Data Center Page Rank

Google page rank is calculated from a variety of different data centers. This can often be why from time to time page fank figures fluctuate.

To help identify why there may be a fluctuation (often due to a page rank update) we have developed a tool with the ability to check multiple Google data centers for page rank and identify possible updates.

The tool will query multiple data centers for the page rank of the suggested URL returning your result in a easy to ready interface.

How to Increasi Page Rank

The best way to increase your Page Rank is
ensure high ranking web pages link to your web page and volume. The more pages linking to your website will also help increase your Page Rank, bringing your pages from 0 all the way to a Page Rank of 10 (the highest value).
