As we all know, Chrome OS will be one of the second half of this year officially released over the weekend. Now, according to Netbooked news, Google will be released in 2011, the commercial version of Chrome OS. For the time being not related to this commercial version of the detailed news, but a Google software engineer disclosed that: "This version will be available to more management features, and will further enhance security." Positive view of this, the Internet in advance of this factory will be able to run in the Advanced Debug mode system testing, in order to adjust the hardware configuration to meet the security requirements of users.

In addition, Chrome OS Business Edition, if not running in the Advanced Debug mode, then the system will be more than ordinary version of the Chrome OS to make more stringent functional limitations. For more information on this release we will continue to follow-up report.

UPDATE: Overseas have had insider information that Google will be released in 2011, including Professional, Business, including multiple versions of.

In Chrome the latest development version of the update, Google has added HTML5 GeolocationAPI. Currently, Chrome dev 5.0.342.1 has been for Windows, Mac and Linux users post, the new API functions and Mozilla geography in Firefox 3.5 last summer to add the function basically the same. However, Chrome's geographical feature is off by default. Users need to add the Chrome shortcut icon "- enable-geolocation" command to activate the feature. If you want to test Chrome geographic features, you can access using the HTML5 GeolocationAPI site. If you have pop-up window asks you if you are willing to submit their geographical location, then the description of geographical features Chrome has already begun its work. 

In the Windows 7 system, the user can activate the taskbar to open Chrome geographic features command. However, the Start menu to open Chrome users can activate the order. 

It is reported that the new version of Chrome developer also added a number of other features, most of the new features are for the Mac and Linux users. Mac version and Linux version of Chrome to improve the stability of the plug and form auto-fill feature.

Disaster recovery is an unpleasant topic, but it must face, take a company's mail system, for example, some companies will have the last e-mail backup, backup frequency may be daily or weekly, disaster occurs, it will backup data recovery to the system, although some can be resumed, but this backup periodically to ensure only the security of data has been backed up, most recently backed up to the disaster, the data is completely between the no. 

In larger companies, may use the SAN for backup, SAN expensive, and, when the entire data center failure, even though the SAN is not insurance. Therefore, people who have genuine strength of large companies, will create a new off-site data center and create a complete set of off-site backup. 

Days, however, often unsatisfactory, sometimes, even if the two locations are in two data centers will also hang at the same time, therefore, more powerful companies will be two data centers to widen as much as possible the physical distance (the farther mean The higher the cost), however, brings management problems, between the two sets of SAN-level data to be transmitted TB requires very high bandwidth, in any case, these are related to costs, redundancy, the more the higher the cost of . 

Disaster backup and recovery are two indicators, one is the RPO (Recovery Point Objective), one is the RTO (Recovery Time Objective), that is, data loss rate and the recovery interval. Traditional SAN or off-site backup, which basically depends on the cost of two indicators, indicators the better, the higher the cost, Google in this regard, using synchronous replication technology, synchronous replication so that RPO is close to 0, while the RTO near real-time, In other words, a disaster occurs, Google all online applications, data loss was basically 0, recovery interval near real-time, allowing users to completely not aware (however, Gmail's how the story down on several occasions - translator). Data synchronization replication technology to all of Google online applications (including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Google Sites, etc.), users need to save any data, are simultaneously stored in two different Google data centers geographically, when any one data center fails, the system will immediately switch to another data center. 

Replication backup of the operating costs are high, in the commercial storage, 25GB of synchronized storage service may be required 150 to more than 500 U.S. dollars per year, Google through the following methods to ensure that these high-cost technology available to users free of charge: 

Google, a data center supporting millions of users, therefore, each user sharing the costs are relatively lower. 

Google's backup data center is not the only opening in the event of a disaster, but has been in use, Google is always a balance between these data centers to ensure that there is no waste of resources. 

Google's data centers have their own highly connected network, ensuring fast data transfer. 

The advantages of cloud computing is to enable the rapid popularization of advanced technology, Google's cloud computing, cloud storage application, so that those who in the past when only the super companies have the ability to enjoy the service has become very common, but very low cost.

Valley Song, said about three years time, desktop computers will gradually be replaced by mobile devices. Growing number of users via mobile devices entertainment and access to information. According to the European high-level Google 约翰赫里希 (John Herlihy) predicted that smart phones will promote Google to promote the globalization of information. Herrich mentioned at an international conference, cloud computing offers new opportunities, which enable each mobile device can be compatible with more applications. "In three years time, the desktop would be nothing to do with search. Now in Japan, most of the R & D is all about intelligent machines rather than the desktop PC." In this speech, he also responded to the previous Google CEO Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt) to say that he has stated that Google is focused on the development of mobile search. 

"Mobile devices so that the world has become more popular for more information. More and more information will be posted on the Web, but people can not browse all of the information, which is why search has become more and more important reason. "Herrich that this will bring new business opportunities and new business models. Similarly, the development of many enterprises have more opportunities to threaten the use of Google's position in the search, so Google also through the promotion of continuous innovation and valuable R & D to avoid this situation from happening. 

Herlihy for Google business success also has a unique view, he summed up as "execution." He explained that the "digital world is the traditional business world with the enormous difference, new things are rapidly emerging, a new website around the world continue to build up a video in YouTube has become a hot within a few hours. The application of common business model is far from adequate. We attach great importance to failures, we the people through various channels to collect feedback on the product at the same time has been adjusted based on feedback. "" When we build a number of products and is committed to promoting their use, these will allow We have more information on customer feedback, and establish a revenue model. "In his view, these business concepts applied to reality, is the need for execution. 

"Today's customer needs to have more choice, they are more familiar with other similar competitors. Although we provide 24-hour, 7 day, 365 days a year non-stop service, we are equally threatened by other competitors. It is customer first, which is why we should further promote the spread of the company's value, while the basic solution is to daily life easier for people to access information, work more convenient and easier to solve problems. "

As saying that the U.S. capital of Topeka Topeka, Kansas, Kansas Mayor Bill Bunten is the digital download madman, when he heard that Google started experimenting with 1GB per second, fiber-optic network and across the United States to accept an application within 2 shine, because he finally saw the In two seconds the 100MB.dummy file upload to the server, and then two seconds to download them back hope. So he decreed his city - Topeka, changed its name to Google, he thinks this is beneficial to apply for this great project ... ...

Of course, the above paragraph of the first half of the YY, but the final result is true: in March 2010 to 31 days, the Kansas state capital's name will be Google! Also, if we back before then, you will find really a magical city of Topeka - In 1998, the first country to celebrate the opening of Pokemon franchise, this city has been renamed "ToPikachu" (Tribute to Pikachu) .

Now, if you search google KS on Google Maps, you can also see Topeka Government has put in the AdSense ads to promote the contents of the course also will introduce Google optical Topeka.
 

Google Gmail Labs today closed five kinds of use of fewer features, and will also feature six kinds of widely used Gmail upgraded to a formal function. 

Google Gmail Labs is a testing ground for testing a variety of new features, including the use of more features will be able to "graduate", that is quickly become the standard Gmail features, but little interest in popular feature will be "retired", that completely disappear. 

6 Graduation Function: 

1. Search auto-complete (Search Autocomplete) 

2. Quick access Tags (Go To Label) 

3. Add an attachment to remind (Forgotten Attachment Detector) 

4.YouTube preview (YouTube Previews) 

5. Custom label colors (Custom Label Colors) 

6. Vacation auto-reply (Vacation Dates) 

5 Retirement Function: 

1. Mask function (hidden Gtalk friends to chat, Muzzle) 

2. Fixed-width font (Fixed Width Font) 

3. Anti-addiction functions (to remind you on time and rest, Email Addict) 

4. Included in the signature address (Location in Signature) 

5. Random signature (Random Signature) 

The graduates are mostly user-friendly operation, "fool-style" features, such as auto-completion and YouTube preview search; others are the details of the improvements, such as reminders to add attachments.

Google would like to know how it will change your life? So Thursday to "Ouagadougou" conference room see. Mountain View, California, this conference room, dozens of engineers, product managers and executives gathered to discuss how to make Google's search engine is more intelligent. This year, Google will be its legendary search engine algorithm is improved by about 500, and each one must be improved through such a decision.

Once a week "search quality, the General Assembly", will likely affect the Google search results - "Samsung SF-755p Printer", "MySpace Layout Code," or even "the capital of Burkina Faso", the country's capital to coincide with the Google this conference room with the same name. Since 2006, has served as head of Wudimanbo search Google (Udi Manber) any person in charge of the meeting. The meeting will be the implementation of 11 proposed improvements also will discuss the past few months in different countries, different languages, environment test results. Divided into two columns show on the screen, change before and after the same query to return results. In the discussion "guitar voice simulation" of the query results, Mambo exclaimed: "This I found too."

You might think that Google has dominated search engine market as long as a decade, should be able to sit back and relax. After all, Google's search engine market share as high as 65%, or even the word Google has become synonymous with search. Like Google unwilling to stop before the title, like its competitors do not want to throw in the towel easily. Over the years, Google has been using its mystery, it appears all-knowing algorithm to "organize the world information." But the last five years, many companies are beginning to Google's an important point challenge.

Google believes that a single search engine, through technical innovation and continuous improvement to meet any search request. The Facebook was launched earlier this challenge, that some people prefer to access information through a friend, rather than a no name algorithm formula. Twitter can continually updated from time to time analysis of messages, which makes "real-time search" has become reality - Mining the ongoing discussions or chat.

Shopping comparison sites Yelp through the mass-to-business level assessment, to help people find restaurants, dry cleaners and baby-sitters and other related information. Although these can not be singled out rising star pose a threat to Google, but they indicate a common search industry, an open, chaos in the future - is not dominated by a search engine, but with a rich diversity of services.

The challenge will be from the

However, Google's biggest threat to Microsoft's will be (Bing). Will be reminiscent of the exploration of the legendary U.S. singer Bing Crosby, and "The Sopranos" in the Bada Bing nightclub, this renovated, was given a new brand of search engine launched in June last year when they won the optimistic assessment. "Wall Street Journal's" claim "than Google more attractive." A new look and 1 million advertising campaign to make Microsoft's U.S. search market share jumped from 8% to 11% - if the necessary regulatory approval should be Yahoo's search service providers, this share will increase more than doubled.

Must be team has been focused on the Google algorithm is unable to meet demand. For example, Google specializes in search public network, but could not real-time tracking the ever-changing flight schedules and ticket prices. So Microsoft bought Farecast site, the site to track the changes in ticket prices, and to predict the fare, according to Change. Currently, Microsoft has Farecast's technology will be added to the search results. Microsoft, in its view that Google algorithm has no advantage, such as health, shopping areas, have also made similar acquisitions.

Even if the team will be recognized in accordance with search terms to return useful information, Google is also far ahead. But they still believe that if the will should be able to provide some areas of expertise, users will gradually accustomed to using will be to conduct a specific search. Vice president of Microsoft's core search Brian McDonald (Brian MacDonald), said: "algorithm for the search engines is critical, but it is not everything, just like your car not only because of its engine."

Google is still the most "intelligent" search engine

An interesting example of "mike siwek lawyer mi" indicates Google will be relative to the advantages.

阿米特辛格 (Amit Singhal) is Google's chief engineer, 40 years old, gentle character, he was convicted in 2001 rewrote the Google search engine to obtain awards. He will enter these words Google search box and hit the Enter key. In a very short period of time, the search results will be displayed. The top of the page gives links to Grand Rapids, Michigan, a lawyer named Michael Siwek.

This is a very general search, Google every day to deal with tens of thousands of such searches. But the fact is that the search process is very complex and may cause misunderstanding of some search engines. If these words will be entered into the first result is that the U.S. National Football League roster over the years, including one named Lawyer Milloy. Search results in the following pages, and no lawyer Siwek-related content.

This contrast shows the power of Google algorithm, or even can be said that intelligence, which is achieved through repeated amendments. Seems Google has a magic power to interpret user needs - no matter how uncommon a search, or there are spelling errors. This capability is called the Google search quality, and improved algorithms for many years been trying to generate accurate search results.

Now I sit with Singh, Google's 43 office buildings, as Google gives me an unprecedented opportunity - let me know how they ensure the quality of search. The meaning behind it is very clear: You might think that method is only one engine, but lifted its veil of secrecy only way you can find that it is how all-powerful.

Innovative start: PageRank

Google algorithm begins with PageRank, which is 1997 Larry (Larry Page), when a graduate student at Stanford University developed. Page's innovative thinking is: Based on the number and importance of the links into the pages of the ratings, that is, the collective wisdom of the network to determine which site is most useful. With Google quickly became the most successful Internet search engine, Larry Page and Google's other founder, Sergey Brin (Sergey Brin) will be the simple concept of PageRank as Google's most fundamental innovation.

But this is not the whole story. Mambo said: "People trust PageRank because it can be confirmed, but to provide the most useful results also require additional technology." This involves some signals, the use of context, so that for any query, search engines can be The most useful results will be ranked first.

Web search is a multi-party process. First of all, Google robots to obtain the contents of each can access the site. These data will be broken down into an index (via text organization, like the book's catalog), so that you can find any pages based on content. Whenever a user types a query, Google will search for relevant pages in the index, and then return a page that contains a list of up to several million. Is a list of the most complicated sort, that is, to decide which pages should appear at the top.

At this point, there will be some handy context. All search engines will be the introduction of context, but there is no one like the Google so as to introduce too many applications so freely. PageRank itself is a signal, but also an attribute of the page (referring to its importance relative to other pages), the property could help determine their relevance with the query, some of which signal now seems obvious.

All along, Google algorithms are on the title of the page and give them special attention, so the title became an important signal to determine relevance. Another important technology is the anchor text, referring to the hyperlink in the visible text. Therefore, "when you search, the search engine can always give the right of the page, even if the page you are looking for the key word is not." This is an early Google architect 斯科特哈桑 (Scott Hassa) point of view, He has worked with Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford with the work. After the search engine signal of concern include freshness (for some queries, the newly pages more valuable pages earlier), and geographical location (Google searchers know the approximate geographic coordinates of local information will be among the top surface) and so on. Google currently uses more than 200 kinds of signals to help determine the ranking of search results.

Google engineer discovered that some of the most important signal that might come from Google itself. PageRank will be implanted in the popularity of the search engine: thousands of websites democratically decide which sites are linking to. However, Singh said that Google engineers also made use of another democracy - a Google search on hundreds of thousands of users. Users to search data generated in the process proved to be equally valuable, these data, including what they click on results, when the right keywords are not satisfied with the changes, the query keywords and the relationship between geographical location. The most direct example of this process is that Google calls "Personalized Search" - This is an optional feature, using the user's search history and geography to determine the content he wants to find (need to be logged in to use this feature Google account). More usual approach is to Google to use its collection of large amounts of data to support its algorithms, Google has deep understanding of this, you can interpret the intention of hidden complexity of the query.

"Hot dog" and "boiled dog"

Google synonyms in order to determine the method as an example. Singh said: "We have long had an interesting finding, that is, users will change the query keywords. For example some people will search 'dog', and then into 'puppy', so search engines will be informed that 'dog 'and' puppy 'may be interchangeable. engine will know, when you burn (boil) water, the water becomes hot (hot). We have to learn the semantics of human beings, this is a big step forward. "

But there are obstacles. Google's synonym for the system know that "dog" and "puppy" is similar to boiling (boiling) water is hot (hot). But it will also consider "hot dog" (sausage sandwich bread) and the "boiling puppy" (boiled dog) is the same. By Ludwig Wittgenstein (Ludwig Wittgenstein) theory, the problem was solved in 2002. The theory involved in the context of how to determine the meaning of words. When Google crawls and store hundreds of millions of documents and web pages, it will be an analysis of what words are adjacent to each other. Contains the "hot dog" page usually contains the "bread", "mustard", and "baseball", and not including the contents of hybrid hunting dogs. This helps search engines understand the "hot dog" and other tens of thousands of words mean. Singh said: "Now, the search engine will know that bio in the 'Gandhi bio' is 'biography' (biography) and abbreviations, and in the 'bio warfare' is 'biological' (biological) abbreviation."

In Google's development process, the company's continuing effort to add new sorting signal, and the balance will not affect the core of the user experience. Every few years they make a major change to the system (a bit like a new version of Windows), which is well known in the Mountain View, but others will not be concerned about.

Singh said: "Our task is to frame this in the 1000 kilometers per hour and 30,000 feet high altitude aircraft to make fundamental changes to the system." In 2001, in response to the rapid development of the Internet, Singh in fact, completely rewritten Page and Brin's algorithms, so that Google can quickly add a new signal (the new one of the signals can be distinguished business pages and non-commercial pages, so as to provide better results shoppers), also in that year, a name is called Kelis naber Halat (Krishna Bharat) that the authority of the engineers on the website link should have a greater weight, so designed a powerful signal in order to give greater credibility of these links (which is Google The first patent), the latest of a revised code-named "caffeine" on the whole system was changed, making it easier for engineers to add new signals.

Google identified the process of semantics

Google in order to be good to encourage these innovations is known for the company will host an annual "crazy creative search" internal show in order to encourage those strange but there are potential applications of innovation. However, most of the time, the improved process is full of hardships, the need for sense of determination, to face the process of trying to blow. There is an unsuccessful search has become a legend: in 2001, Singh was informed that enter the "audrey fino" when you can not be found to the desired content, but only to return some commend Audrey Hepburn (Audrey Hepburn) in India web page, because in India the phrase "fino" is a good meaning. Singh said: "We know audrey fino is a personal name, but our system did not so smart."

This failure to make Singh spent many years trying to improve Google search results on the name - because the names of the total search volume of up to 8%. In order to solve this problem, he had to master the "bi-gram split", that is, the number of words divided into separate units. For example, "new york" together to form a bi-gram, referring to New York. But there are also three words of the situation, such as "new york times", meaning the New York Times, it is obvious the two do not mean the same thing. If the user enters the "new york times square", meaning they became the New York Times Square. Can easily make a distinction between human beings, rather than by manual control Google, which relies on an algorithm.

"Mike Siwek" This is a Google search can explain how to solve this problem. Singh entered the order to show the code, we can see that the signal is how to sort the search result: The bi-gram can determine the mike siwek is a name, lawyer is a synonym, mi is a place names. Singh said: "From the engineer's point of view deconstruction, the system will be split these words, it will find that lawyer is not a family name, siwek is not a middle name. At the same time lawyer is not a town in Michigan, so it is a synonym for attorney."

This is a Google search never gained a number of valuable knowledge. Stone can be a "rock", can be a "stone", also can be a "boulder" (boulders). If the user enters "rokc", Google will know that he was looking for "rock". However, if "rokc" preceded by "little", Google will know that it is "Arkansas" (Arkansas) in the capital. "Arkansas" is the abbreviation for "ark", Noah's Ark with the same shape, but Google will be to distinguish between the two. Singh said: "The search of the most important is to understand the user's intent, so you are not matching words, but in the match meant."

Google has been continuous improvement. Recently, Google engineers 莫琳海曼斯 (Maureen Heymans) found a "Cindy Louise Greenslade" search results problem. When a user enters those words, the algorithm would think that they should look to a person named Cindy Louise, so in the city of Garden Grove, California, to find a psychologist, did not get the name of "Cindy Louise Greenslade" people's website on the results of the top ten. Heymans found that this is because "Cindy Louise Greenslade" the name used to be abbreviated as "Cindy L. Greenslade". She said: "Our search engine should be a little smarter." Then she added a signal, is used to find the middle name initials. Now the correct results have been ranked in fifth place.

Innovative,

At any time, Google and efficient operation of the test system will be carried out dozens of such improvements. Google around the world specially hired hundreds of people, these people sitting at home in front of the computer to determine the changed result is better or worse. But Google also has a larger test group, which is tens of thousands of Google users who unwittingly joined the quality of this long-term experiments.

When engineers want to test a technical adjustments, they will be a small group of random users to run these algorithms, while the vast majority of users play the role of reference groups. Changes need to be tested too much, so Google is only giving up one test a technical adjustment strategy. Search quality engineer Patrick Riley (Patrick Riley), said: "In most search process, you are at the same time, several 'experimental group' and 'reference group' being." But he then made a correction: " In fact, all of the search have been involved into the experiment, so each time a user using Google search, they made a 'mouse'. "

This flexibility - to increase the signal, change the code, the ability to immediately test - that is why Google team, saying that they can react to will be, Twitter and Facebook, the reasons for any challenge. In fact, in the past six months, Google had more than 200 improvements, some of which seem to imitate (but not beyond) its competitors (Google said that it was a coincidence, saying that for years has been adding new features) One of them is real-time search.

Page said Google should be a few months ago every second search the entire network, thus making this feature is expected. When a user searches for time-sensitive nature of the topic, the Google results page 10 there is a blue link, "the latest results" box. Drag the box with the article shows from the news media, blog and Twitter and so on to get the latest content. Similarly, Google used the signal to ensure that the most useful tweet (Twitter posted a message) appears in the real-time information box.

In addition to real-time search, Google also introduced a new feature, called "Goggles". This functionality can be photographs taken by mobile phone users as a search request. Google has been trying to search into an act at any time, "Goggles" is also a part of that effort. With the camera and voice recognition, smart phones will become your eyes and ears. If one can find the right signals, anything can be turned into search request.

The root causes of success: hiring the right people

Google's powerful computing power and bandwidth offers indisputable advantages. It is claimed that advantage to make their start-up companies could not challenge. However, Mambo said that Google be a leader not just because of its infrastructure. He said: "The most, most, most important factor is that we hired the right talent."

According to all standards, Lu Qi is considered as a suitable talents, he was a 48-year-old computer scientist. Yahoo has been working with the Mambo Lu Qi said: "I cherished the highest respect for him." But early last year, Lu Qi left Google, as Microsoft will be going to Team Leader. When asked about his mission, when, dressed in jeans and T shirt will be a diminutive Lu Qi carefully worded to softly replied: "We need always to remember that this is a long journey, it is extremely important." His eyes China reveals, "I will not leave" the look, like the movie "Kill Bill" in the Uma Thurman (Uma Thurman) the same.

In the past decade, has won the browser war, Microsoft, in the search seems to cherish the "gentlemen's revenge, not later than ten years" idea, because it was convinced that users of Google algorithm also needs something else. Microsoft search development director Halishamu (Harry Shum) said: "If we do not change the algorithm, it will be difficult to contend with the current winner, but we intend to algorithm improvement."

However, even if the algorithm will respond to improvements, Google is likely to make the same changes. This is the Google become such a formidable opponent of the reason, it has developed a nimble enough machines, so you can learn anything that might pose a threat to its innovative - while providing a quality opponent can not match the search results. Anyone can buy air tickets to invent a new way, but only Google knows how to find Mike Siwek. (Chin-liang)

The European Commission said in a statement on the 24th, had received related businesses for the U.S. Internet search engine giant Google's antitrust complaints, but not yet about to launch a formal investigation.
The statement said that the European Commission received a total of three complaints, is currently being studied. Receipt of the complaint, the European Commission under the normal procedure had been notified earlier this month, Google Inc., asking them to respond to the accusations made on related, but not yet for Google to start a formal antitrust investigation procedures.

The European Commission said in a statement did not disclose the contents of complaints and complaints from enterprises, and refused to provide further information.

    Google's senior adviser to the European Anti-monopoly Service Julia Holtz, Google's official Web site in the written blog that Google filed complaints against businesses are a British price comparison service site, a French legal search service sites and Microsoft's acquisition of the United States a German site. She said that Google has received the European Commission on antitrust complaint notice, but she strongly denied the existence of any violation of Google's European Union antitrust rules.

    Complaints against the two types of monopolistic behavior. The first is the alleged manipulation of Google search results rankings, because Google does not like to remain neutral, as claimed, but rather placed in the forefront of their services, to the detriment of rival interests. Second is Google's online advertising business. Although the valley voice decide that its advertising price from the auction, the company has no direct impact on pricing, but the practice of setting minimum bid or lead to the dissatisfaction of the companies, they are accused of using its Google search advertising market in Europe, an absolute monopoly on the raise the status of advertised price.

    It is estimated that Google's search advertising market share in Europe up to 90%, even more than in the U.S. market even higher.

    As Google continued to expand, they face more and more anti-trust accusations. British "The Times" reports that Google Inc. has continuously increased its lobbying expenditures last year, Google in this area expenditures amounted to 4.03 million U.S. dollars into lobbying the U.S. government's most fierce of the network technology companies.
 

Since the opening of a new Java scripting engine, Opera browser, the performance really has made substantial progress. And they recently released for the Windows operating system Opera10.50 the beta2 version of the main functions, and there is not much changes, only some minor functionality improvements, compared with beta1 version, the new beta2 version of a total of about 100 improvements. In addition, Oprea was also released in the same period in Mac-oriented models Oprea10.50 RC version of the latest version.

The Windows system for Opera 10.50 beta versions of browsers Carakan JavaScript engine performance of a number of improvements. We are also on the beta2 version of the browser has made some performance tests, according to SunSpider test results indicate that the browser, the average execution time of 386.4 ms, compared to the earlier release of pre-alpha version (score 453.6 ms) has been upgrading; while beta1 version of the score is 400 ms; the same time, we have Google Chrome Dev version of the test results is 416 milliseconds.

Although the above test is not rigorous, and sometimes scores a browser, there are some differences between them, but the test clearly shows that the performance of the new Opera browser is quite competitive.

Although I am now for another well-known search sites work, but ~
~ google is indeed a good thing, and its growing influence of the Internet. Although China has limitations, but still has many fans.
       google is no doubt in the user experience is really very good, and they always will continue with the introduction of some new services, new experience for users, but also for whom the industry attention. Even google concise and elegant icons have become the user chase and collection of treasures. Here we take a look at google calendar year, which services are launched.

According to foreign media reported today, Google Buzz project manager responsible for product management affairs, Bradley Horowitz, vice president (Bradley Horowitz) said that Google intended to challenge Buzz does not Facebook or Twitter, but as these social networking a unique complement of services. Horowitz also said the service he was excited about the growth rate. He said, Buzz feature has prompted many users will be compared with Facebook and Twitter, Facebook and Twitter, but Buzz is not the Terminator, but an interesting network of communication.

Google launched on February 9 of the social service Buzz. Through this service, users can Google Gmail e-mail service, to share with others all kinds of information (images, web links and other content), while information on the activities automatically loads friends, and for the user automatically create a corresponding mailing list.

In addition, Google Buzz also allows users to publish their own information on the activities updated to allow other friends kept informed of their current location. In this way, Google Gmail can be played in the formation of a strong social network. In the service launched in the first week, 176 million will have tens of millions of Gmail users who have created more than 9 million comments and messages, as well as a number of mobile phone users Buzz mobile applications to 200 messages per minute, the speed of constant postings.

According to foreign media reports, recently, the famous technology blog valleywag ran a story about Google CEO Eric Schmidt was the former lover broke the news article, the following is the original article:
Google CEO Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt) has been calling for free flow of information, but also against the so-called security point of view. But it is worth we suspect that even Google Chief Executive Officer so fond of public information, he does not necessarily agree with his former girlfriend on the Internet release of "Take the camera's blog diary."

Schmidt last summer with former girlfriend Kaitebona (Kate Bohner) to break up, but according to our informants said that Bonner's network social circle "pet project", we still can find Schmidt's shadow. This project is a multimedia autobiography, confession-style, which includes a server based in Google's blog "cured Girls 007 (Recovery Girl 007)", and eventually will form a book.

Bonner wrote about in this blog, Schmidt, and gave him a nickname from the "Dr. Strangelove" (Dr. Strangelove), and said Schmidt gave him an iPhone prototype. She also put Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) is called "Jesuit priest and drugs" (stoned Jesuit preist). But otherwise, this is being written in the online autobiography is mainly talk about how Bonner, a 12-step program (12-step program), and yoga from drug addiction and alcohol addiction.

It is not clear is how Bonner funding for this project. Bonner worked this project recruiting directors, webmasters and editors. There is a rumor that Schmidt was behind the funding of this project to push hands, but we are not so sure. About a year ago, when he was dating, when Bonner, who is married to a billionaire is not only the love and jewelry Bonner, he also said that the work of literature to Bonner's (documentary company) funding. Perhaps, some of which Bonner mortgage Schmidt gifts, or they just rely on their own savings. But they seem not to say that again with the Schmidt compound of Bonner.

At present, the Bonner autobiography in this blog is the main description of her personal life, are more aroused the hearts of those who love her thing. She wrote that she had in London's Hyde Park (Hyde Park) smoked cocaine binge in Los Angeles had tequila, when 8-year-old drink a lot of brandy; alcohol relapse later, in a Check drug treatment centers and so on.

In Bonner's Web site, the former business journalist, wrote of her life constantly in the men, Schmidt has been mentioned many times. For example, in Bonner's "size of the U.S. Virgin Islands of the journey," she writes: I am a long time did not think Dr. Strangelove of the ... ... but it is a lie ... ... I have been sleeping when the open BlackBerry , as Dr. Strangelove might give me a e-mail. If I were smart enough, I should throw the Blackberry, the iPhone gave me his prototype. Steve Steve Jobs is not a saint (St. Stephen), he was just one in his garden and drugs lost Jesuit priest.

In this diary with a blog post text, Bonner also wrote: dream is always the same ... ... is in northern Massachusetts a government mental hospital where they roam in packs of winding trails. I always do stupid things against their will. This is Dr. Strangelove, I am really concerned about her boyfriend. He has to convince me, or that he had to persuade me that I was self-destruction.

Bonner's "Buddhist temples in Thailand," Journal

In another article called "Buddhist temples in Thailand," the diary, the Bonner wrote: I was here how to do? Is the telephone. A betrayal. Dr. Strangelove lied to his feelings. We talked several times on this case. I can remember is that I have to leave Los Angeles.

There is a "drug addiction in South Florida," Bonner wrote: you can see, I am not going back to Los Angeles had. This is very clear. Experiment will not work in Los Angeles. The game is over. Things have an end. When I came to Thailand's Buddhist temples, the work thing is over. Our relationship has formally ended, Dr. Strangelove is dead.

We will certainly continue to focus on the future of the blog diary Bonner. We are also convinced that Schmidt will do the same.

By the end of July 2009, Yahoo, Microsoft reached a 10-year search and advertising deal, Google aims to launch market challenges. After a long 8 months of anxious waiting, Microsoft and Yahoo deal final approval. Under the previous agreement, Microsoft will be Yahoo's search technology provider, while Yahoo will be exclusively responsible for the two companies worldwide search advertising sales services, but the specific will use the Microsoft adCenter online advertising platform. Cnet columnist Tom Krazit (Tom Krazit) this answers a few questions about this transaction.

Q: How do the two sides reached the deal?

A: The two sides deal of progress is very slow. Beginning in 2008, Yahoo and Microsoft, once on a series of acquisitions, partnerships and the formation of the League of issues discussed. Since then, Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo's offer was when he was Yahoo's CEO Jerry Yang rejected. The failure of the deal, as well as the continuous decline in Yahoo's performance, but also led to the downfall of Yang, and 卡罗尔巴茨 (Carol Bartz) successor. As the market among the three competitors, two will be merged, it will inevitably lead to regulatory review of this transaction to verify whether the transaction would hinder market competition.

Q: After completion of the transaction will be what happens to Yahoo's Web site?

A: This change is difficult to detect. Microsoft currently provides search results and keyword ads produce the back-end technology, but Yahoo will continue to control the results appear on the page. This means that Yahoo can still search the content in accordance with a variety of content to users.

Q: Yahoo BOSS and Search Monkey and other technical prospects?

A: Microsoft will be entitled to use these search techniques. Microsoft and Yahoo reached a 10-year search and advertising deal, which means that Microsoft, like Yahoo the right to choose to use technology, and to give up do not like Yahoo's technology.

Q: Microsoft will be what happens?

Answer: in exchange for increased market share, Microsoft will have to give up control of the major search advertising. Microsoft used Yahoo's future, also to select what will be the back-end search technology, as well as specific Yahoo employees to work for Microsoft. Microsoft had previously said that Yahoo's user data obtained, the company's ranking technology will be improved. However, Google have been skeptical.

Q: Does Google care about this deal?

A: This is undoubtedly a nonsense, of course, extremely concerned about Google's co-operation between Microsoft and Yahoo. The future, Google Microsoft and Yahoo after the transaction will be how they affect the search experience and advertisers interested in watching. Advertisers may be better than Yahoo or Microsoft is looking forward to the completion of the transaction. In January of this year, Google accounted for 65.4% of the U.S. search market share; Yahoo and Microsoft's share of 28.3%. Advertisers certainly do not want to Google a rule in the search advertising market.

Q: When will the changes brought about the discovery of this deal?

Answer: it is likely to continue for some time. Honestly speaking, the deal is more concerned about the cost structure of Yahoo, Microsoft's search ambitions, as well as advertising budgets, rather than the user experience.
