"Search without Search"
Having dominated the search market for several years, Google has never been one to just rest on its laurels. Its latest leap is to build a search infrastructure that can practically read your mind before you ever type anything into that search box.
We're always fascinated by the latest innovations from Google when it comes to its online search engine. After all, that is its meat and potatoes and continues to drive the backbone of the company.
This latest concept was described by consumer products chief Marissa Mayer at a Web conference in Paris as "search without search," according to a PC World quote.
The idea percolates around a "contextual discovery" formula that can recognize a user based on his or her search habits and current location. Mayer describes, "Can we take location and a user's context, and basically figure out what pieces of information they need?"
So for example, if Google knows that you search "New York Stock Exchange" every day, and you do it from Wall Street, you're probably just looking for financial news. But if you live in Columbus, Ohio and have never Googled finance stuff before, maybe you're planning a trip to New York and want to see where the NYSE is. In that case, your results will be predicated around that.
Basically, Google wants to get to know you and figure out exactly what you want to know without you having to specifically tell it.
This could also link to Google's desire to push into the social networking market, as that's an arena that is all about personalized data. For now, it's just a conceptual talking point but certainly something that is making its way into the Google architecture.
It's a pretty revolutionary direction to take, and one that surely has all sorts of intricate workings on the back end. But hey, if Google can some day figure out that my search for "Kit Kat" really just means I want to hear the classic candy commercial jingle on YouTube, then I'll be happy.

Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar
When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam.
When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy. It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we

Skype Outage
Millions of Skype users around the world were left incommunicado on Wednesday when the popular internet telephony system was disrupted by a massive glitch.
Skype issued an apology for the outage, which left millions of people unable to log onto the service or connect to any of their contacts. Skype said that the problem appeared to originate in the service’s peer-to-peer system, in which some users’ computers are used as “supernodes” to help the application connect with users.
“Under normal circumstances, there are a large number of supernodes available. Unfortunately, today, many of them were taken offline by a problem affecting some versions of Skype,” the company said in a web posting.
“Our engineers are creating new ‘mega-supernodes’ as fast as they can, which should gradually return things to normal. This may take a few hours, and we sincerely apologise for the disruption to your conversations.”
Skype prides itself on the robustness of its network, with its last major outage in 2007. But with the company increasingly positioning itself as a corporate communications tool, Wednesday’s snafu could be damaging.

PalmPad from HP
HP is poised to announce three WebOS tablets early next year, Fox News is reporting. All three will be variations of one design, called the PalmPad, and will run a version of WebOS, the operating system for the Palm Pre smartphone. HP acquired Palm in the spring.
Fox says it obtained the spec sheets of the PalmPad from a "trusted source." It's said to have a screen similar in size to the iPad's 9.7-inch display, but it will also include an HDMI port for feeding video to an external screen (the iPad requires a special dongle to do this). Palm's tablet will also have front- and rear-facing cameras, both with LED flashes, the report said. Weight it said to be 1.25 pounds.
For data, the PalmPad will be able to connect to Sprint's 4G WiMax network, though Fox had no details about pricing or whether a contract is required for purchase. The three Palm tablets are said to have only "minor" hardware differences from each other, and all three will run WebOS 2.5.1 (the current version is 2.0). A fourth PalmPad is planned for fall 2011 and will be tailored for university students, with a slightly smaller (8.9-inch) screen.
HP's WebOS tablet has been in the works for a long time. The company confirmed it was working on such a device in an earnings call earlier this year, saying a WebOS tablet product would be coming in "early 2011."
The Fox report says HP will unveil the PalmPad at January's Consumer Electronics Show (CES). According to the show's official schedule, HP has no plans for a press conference or keynote presentation at CES, although the company will have a presence there. A query to HP wasn't immediately returned.

Tendulkar : 50 is just a number to me
Centurion: He doesn't hide the fact that he is happy but for Sachin Tendulkar, "50 is just another number." "Yesterday was my father's (late Ramesh Tendulkar) birthday. I dedicate this century to him. As for myself, I am happy and ok to have scored runs. I really don't know how to express my feelings," Tendulkar told reporters at the end of the day's play which saw him reach 50th Test century. A teamman to the core, Sachin feels that the Indian team should be able to save the Test match. "I Believe in positive thinking. If you remain positive, you will find positive things happening," he said. Asked about the secret behind his stupendous form, he said, "It's a state of mind. For the last two years, I have been doing well. I have been really enjoying my batting. I believe doing well is a habit and a good habit. So if you have this good habit, you shouldn't let it go." Tendulkar was also happy that the team has batted well in the second innings. "It Was extremely important for us to do well and send a strong message. The wicket was difficult to bat on in the first innings. We needed to remain positive and confident." Asked about the pressure that was around him with the entire nation waiting for his 50th Test ton with bated breath, the legend feels that it was more of a media creation. "I Wasn't under any kind of pressure. It was you guys who laid the foundation stone of pressure. I just built around that foundation stone," he said in jest. A champion in every sense of the term, he was gracious when he praised his rival Jacques Kallis for getting his maiden double hundred in Test cricket. "He (Jacques) Is a great player. He has been the backbone of South African batting and what he has acheived is terrific." Tendulkar also thanked his millions of fans back home in India and pledged to continue enthralling them with many more such moments. "I Thank all my fans who have supported him in all these years. I promise that I would continue to perform and make you all happy. I hope that I will keep getting your support in future also."

Dropbox updated to 1.0, brings selective sync to masses
Dropbox has been one of the easiest ways to sync files across multiple computers since its initial release in 2008. On Thursday evening, the company officially rolled out version 1.0 of the program, bringing with it a whole host of improvements, including—to the joy of MacBook Air users everywhere—support for selective folder sync.
According to the company, the update features “huge performance enhancements” thanks to a completely rewritten back-end; Dropbox claims version 1.0 reduces the strain on your computer’s memory by up to 50 percent. And on the Mac, the entire program has been re-coded in Apple’s Cocoa framework for a smaller download size (a 20 percent reduction), and UI improvements have been made across all three platform offerings.
The banner feature of 1.0, however, is undoubtably Selective Sync: this allows you to select which folders and files found within your Dropbox appear on which of your computers. Each computer has a separate preference pane within the application, so you can, say, choose only certain folders to sync with your work computer while the rest of your files remain accessible on the Web. The company has a good how-to available for those curious about the feature’s particulars.
Additionally, the update brings support for extended attribute sync. This allows users to easily upload and sync files with resource forks (parts of a file that certain programs use for storing information) without fear of data corruption or deletion.
Dropbox 1.0 is free and available for download from the company’s Website in Mac, Windows, and Linux flavors; Mac users should be running OS X 10.4 or later.

Tagging made easier - FaceBook's hot update (yet to come)
Every day, people add more than 100 million tags to photos on Facebook. They do it because it's an easy way to share photos and memories. Unlike photos that get forgotten in a camera or an unshared album, tagged photos help you and your friends relive everything from that life-altering skydiving trip to a birthday dinner where the laughter never stopped. Tags make photos one of the most popular features on Facebook.
While tags are an essential tool for sharing important moments, many of you have said tagging photos can be a chore. (Like that time you had to tag your cousin and her fiancé over and over and over again in 64 different pictures of their engagement party, and then go back and tag the guests.)
Since October, we've been working to make this process easier for you. First we added group tagging, so you could type one name and apply it to multiple photos of the same person. Now we're announcing tag suggestions, which will make tagging multiple photos even more convenient.

Apple battle iAd vs Google AdSense and HTML5 vs Flash
Last week was a busy week for Apple, starting with the new iPhone agreement to develop applications using the SDK 4. I don’t want to make comments about that at this point. I believe anything can happen before they release the iPhone SDK 4, moving forward Steve Jobs presented the first preview of the iPhone OS 4, which finally will support Multitasking , but the main point during his presentation was the iAd announcement which in my opinion impact Adobe and Google.
Months ago Apple acquired Quattro Wireless, a major player in mobile ad space, during this event Steve Jobs announced an advertising service called iAd, which offers more them simple advertisement service. When you touch an ads in iPhone today you are redirected to a browser closing your application, the new iAd is integrated in the platform and will change the user experience allowing to see ads without quit of the application. Apple will provide the whole ads infrastructure and will share the revenue with the developers.
Steve Jobs used an News app to demo the iAd integration, the app included a Toy Store iAd banner. coincidence or not the ads use HTML 5 and not Flash. Steve wasn’t subtly and mention HTML 5 at least three times, you can see the audience laughing out loud.
It seems iAd and HTML 5 are part of apple strategy to kill Flash, at the same time will help Apple to increase revenue, will be interesting to see Google strategy to convince developer to use AdSense instead iAd.

Man Made Eggs - Beware
Beware u guys and gals!
During a recent raid on a wholesale centre in Guangzhou city, the capital of China 's Guangdong province, a large quantity of fake eggs was seized.
Their wholesale price is 0.15 yuan (S$0.03) each - half the price of a real egg.
Consumers have a hard time telling a genuine egg from a fake one. This is good news for unscrupulous entrepreneurs, who are even conducting three-day courses in the production of artificial eggs for less than S$150. A reporter with Hong Kong-based Chinese magazine East Week enrolled in one such course.
To create egg white, the instructor - a woman in her 20s - used assorted ingredients such as gelatin, an unknown powder, benzoic acid, coagulating material and even alum, which is normally used for industrial processes.
For egg yolk, some lemon-yellow colouring powder is mixed to a liquid and the concoction stirred. The liquid is then poured into a round-shaped plastic mould and mixed with so-called 'magic water', which contains calcium chloride.
This gives the 'yolk' a thin outer membrane, firming it up. The egg is then shaped with a mould. The shell is not forgotten. Paraffin wax and an unidentified white liquid are poured onto the fake egg, which is then left to dry.
The artificial egg can be fried sunny-side up or steamed. Although bubbles appear on the white of the egg, those who have tasted it say the fake stuff tastes very much like the real thing.
But experts warn of the danger of eating fake eggs. Not only do they not contain any nutrients, a Hong Kong Chinese University professor warned that long-term consumption of alum could cause dementia
To make the egg white, various ingredients, including a powder and alum, are mixed together.
The 'yolk' is shaped in the round mould. 'Magic water' containing calcium chloride is used.
Hardy shells are formed by pouring paraffin wax and a liquid onto the egg, which are then left to dry.
