Youtube videos in Google search 2007-02-17 16:59:00 Searches for images or research papers or projects on Google
may now return videos
from the California-based Internet search giant's YouTube unit.Google, which acquired YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion, says the change is part of its effort to differentiate YouTube from its similar Google Video service.To get returns that include YouTube videos, added Thursday, users must use the video search tab, the company said.Google Video's goal is to be the definitive search engine for video Internet-wide, not just on Google's sites, said David Eun, company vice president.For now, Google Video and YouTube remain separate, with both offering space to upload and share videos.

Microsoft in mud 2007-02-17 16:31:00 Software giant Microsoft
corp. has landed itself in trouble when it offered to pay a blogger to change technical articles on the community-produced Web encyclopedia site.While Wikipedia is known as the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, founder Jimmy Wales and moderators have blocked public-relations firms, campaign workers and anyone else perceived as having a conflict of interest from posting slanting entries. So paying for Wikipedia copy is considered a definitely considered wrong.Microsoft acknowledged it had approached the writer and offered to pay him for the time it would take to correct what the company was sure were inaccuracies in Wikipedia articles on an open-source document standard and a rival format put forward by Microsoft.In a blog posting Monday, the blogger said that he was surprised to be approached by Microsoft but figured he would accept the offer to review the Wikipedia articles because he considered it important to make sure technical standards processe

ese telecommunications and Internet giant Softbank earlier in 2006.But it's not a easy game for Myspace out there in Japan.Japan's leading Social network Mixi is going to give it a hard competition.Mixi has prim,organised columns and boxes of stamp size photos-not the flashy text and teen Magazine like layout of Myspace.The difference in the appearance between the two online hangouts reflects a broader clash of cultures

Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.

How to maintain your LCD screen 2007-02-28 06:56:00 Instructions for cleaning LCD screen
s:- Your LCD television and monitor or laptop is designed with liquid crystal technology. These screens are very sensitive to the touch and can be easily damaged.

It is very important for you to exercise care in the handling of your liquid crystal display, because it is a liquid crystal display rather than a gl Read more:LCD screen
