Living Room / Microsoft Acquisition of Yahoo!
« on: February 04, 2008, 07:23 AM »
I read this line over my friends paul's blog.I was surprised by Yahoo!'s decision for offer of MS.I know many of the yahoo products are cool to be integrated into MS.But it doesn't make any sense.

MS got bad hit from Linux,but they are really getting their grooves with web services and technologies.ASP.net is most used technology on the internet.But acquiring Yahoo! will definitely make them to conquer more internet as yahoo's BSD servers will be replaced by MS servers.Simplenet & Flickr will also get integrated with MS technology,no More PHP & MYSQL on Yahoo! office.

Again Yahoo was not taking most data from user for their purpose (some exceptions) but like Google, MS (as usual)will start taking personal data from user.And security breaks down..... and down...

Take a look at this article http://paulstamatiou.com/2008/02/01/microsoft-offers-446-billion-for-yahoo

& search on Micrsoft.com/acquisitions for more detalis.

Drop me some of your thoughts.

Developer's Corner / Bow to the browser
« on: January 13, 2008, 04:51 AM »
Firefox continues to supress other browsers with it's power.Recently netscape announced that they are no longer going to develop future versions of netscape.They will continue to provide support for their current version 9.But they are encouraging the use of mozzila browser to their users and visitors.This ultimately fails other browser which are using netscape engine.Like Neoplanet and many others.Netscape is out of browser race now and they may not able to put their web standard from now on.This clearly makes firefox on the top of others.

The future holds only to 3-top browsers.

Safari: It will remain alive as long as apple thinks.It will do exist on apple OS,so that apple can implement their operating specific settings and features.

Internet Explorer
No chance that firefox is going to repalce it officially on windows.Microsoft is bending to

open source technologies unofficially (.Net Mono Devlopement)  but they are not going to implement any open source framework on windows other than java.Lauch of Blend proved that AJAX,Ruby and Python will be incorporated in Blend but again MS is not making any claims officially about it.

Firefox
It will continue to rise.It is currently the only secure cross paltform browser.Other brosers which are based on gecko engine like flock(Same as mozzila) will continue to have little market share.I'm not sure about opera cause i've personnaly done survey for this browser in many internet cafes.and the users are complaining about its stability and security.It's just my observation.Your experience may vary.

So what is your opinion?

Living Room / Wiki Spam
« on: December 06, 2007, 06:22 AM »
There are many wiki pages are constantly being spamed.Some of the examples are of ultimate++ IDE's wiki pae Here in the image.There link for tutorial is spammed or is used for advertisement.As google ads are already appeared on their official page,the ads on the tutorial pages are supposed to be spam.

There are many "Get rich quick scam sites"/"Porn Sites"/"Get paid"/"Pharamacutical Ads" are displayed on most of the forums thread and on wiki pages.Many users with blogspot blogs are putting false content on the blogs for their adsense code.If you care for the such communities or good resources/forums/wikis then please notify these issues to respective community leads.
