INTEL TO PROVIDE HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR CHROME OS


Intel, the multimillion chip enterprise has announced to provide hardware support for the search engine giant, Google's Chrome OS. As soon as the news was on the buzz that Google is working on its new operating system based for Chrome web-browser, all the tech biggies started mapping their plans for having an entrepreneurship with the giant. First Nvidia, and now its Intel.

As state of current world market, Intel occupies more than 80% of hardware market. Google will of course need to work with Intel to get into business and get Microsoft out of business. Hope Google comes up with something good.
At least better than an OS stolen from Apple! :P

MICROSOFT WARNING OF SECURITY FLAWS IN INTERNET EXPLORER


Microsoft has buzzed up internet explorer users of security flaws in the software that can be illegally used by a hacker to breach ones system and possess the same access rights as the local user. Guessing the result? A possible system crash! :(

The problem was found in a program that serves the purpose of online video playing ActiveX Controls of the browser. The flaw, if successfully exploited by a cracker in particular, it can be used to gain the local user rights to access the computer which may have disastrous results.

Microsoft has advised its users to disable the ActiveX Controls till it launched the patched version of the software that the are working on with associates.
Why don't they advice their users to use Firefox? :P
The people at Microsoft are working to fix this problem and also developing a Windows security update to solve the problem.

MICROSOFT BING SUPPORTS TWITTER FEED BASED SEARCH RESULTS

Microsoft Bing- the most competent search engine by the company, which is said to be clashing against search giants, Google and Yahoo! will now have twitter feeds displayed in its searches. The best tweets for a particular keyword search will now be displayed in the Bing search results.

The update to the search engine is in order to provide better real time data feeds to the search. The search engine will also display the latest feeds on the Twitter charts. The reason why Microsoft chose twitter is evident from the fact that Twitter is the currently, most rapidly developing social networking communities on the web.

The idea seems to be innovative and is expected to improve Bing's ranking on the Search Engine charts.
Will Bing be able to jolt Google or Yahoo! by its latest update?

MULTIPLE MICROSOFT SERVICES RETIRE TOMORROW



Microsoft, The Multimillion Software Enterprise has decided to pull off its MSN Web messenger online chat software, asking its users to use the Messenger integrated with Live People and Hotmail. Microsoft had provided an official deadline of 30th June, 2009 (Tomorrow!) to shut down it's Web Messenger Service. The company has also planned to pull off its Microsoft Money and Encarta on the same date.

Microsoft came up with this decision in order to streamline its investment on updates and to realign its services under one brand. Microsoft says that its main advantage lies in the fact that it lets you know if a person is online or not, so that you decide whether to send him/her a message or make a direct chat. Now how innovative is this idea? Google and Yahoo! have been doing this since generations. And that's what they call innovation- Same as they did with the multi-touch feature introduced in Windows 7. :P

Will the world like this change in Microsoft's strategy?

What's your reaction to it? Speak out through your comments!
