Visual search with Yahoo! Glue
In yesterday Yahoo! In the United States introduced its new search service Yahoo! Glue. It works by adding your search results from different sources into a visual presentation on the same page. For example, you can have your results Findings from Wikipedia, Youtube and results of pictures, all on the same page and easily accessible.
This service was first introduced in India and its success apparently led to the creators to incorporate into their services in America. The idea is not new (Mahalo and did), I have personally had the opportunity to use a browser to view (Spacetime ), But I have to admit that the idea of Yahoo!, Even if not innovative, it is good and is developed by one of the most comprehensive search engine.
I tried several searches with mixed results, in some cases, the results were accurate, others vague. By now the number of items that can be searched on Yahoo! Glue is limited, but is expected to eventually add more.

The print version of PC Magazine says goodbye
Ziff Davis,
the company credited with the rights of PC Magazine,
announced today that
the printed version of the already well-known magazine in Latin America Information Technology and other related topics
will be distributed for the last time in January 2009
and which will be available only online at
PCMag.com.
The reason I say this having taken desicíon is based on statistical data to show an accelerated growth of the audience (and therefore earnings) of the official website during the past 7 years, exceeding 10 times the circulation of the printed magazine .
To the delight of the publishers, none of them will be dismissed, because continue with their work for the site online, but the production does not run with the same fate and have to be the first to read the yellow pages of the newspaper in January next year.
Frustrane I find the idea that since I am not going to read the amazing apoder columns of John C. Dvorak while I wait my turn in the barber shop, but what I find most interesting about all this is that this is probably beginning to realize what has long been prophesying the demise of the books because of the internet.

Morro, the new security package free of Microsoft
As you read, Microsoft, in a move that represents something radically different from their traditional marketing strategies, has announced that by mid-2009 has available a new package of security applications that have drawn free "Morro." This means the elimination Windows Live OneCare, which proved a failure, and that at the same subscription costs $ 40.00. Morro include protection for the most common security threats: Viruses, spyware, rootkits and Trojans. Now the company McAfee has voiced his criticism, pointing out that as well as Windows Live OneCare was only 2% of the market, this new initiative will have similar results. Personally, I remain confident in the products of companies recognized in the field of computer security, such as Symantec, McAffe and Kaspersky. For those who do not You can pay a subscription, and there are very good free alternatives:
- AVG: Very well-known publications recommended by computer and added in its latest anti-spyware protection. Is lightweight, fast and effective.
- Avira Antivirus: Not as well known as AVG, but what I used and it is excellent, albeit a bit slower than AVG.
- ClamWin: It has the appeal that, in addition to being free, has a portable version.

Jerry Yang confesses his resignation as head of Yahoo!, What will the company?
Yahoo!
One of the most important companies on the Internet has been one of the most affected by the economic crisis, but its problems have roots long before this started.
And things, that in itself is not anything went well in Yahoo!, Were compounded by the decision taken by Jerry Yang not to accept any purchase agreement by Microsoft. This refusal occurred a decline in the value of the shares of the company, the shares rose from 108 U.S. dollars in 2000 to $ 10 currently.
Yesterday it was confirmed that Jerry Yang left the post of CEO of the company, for reasons unknown to Yang tried to clarify in an article published in the company's blog.
The article quoted Yang:
"Since I founded Yahoo! with David Filo 13 years ago, I felt real passion for this company, brand, employees and the millions of people around the world who consider it their home online "
Then begins to remind Grosso so that the achievements are attributed to the period of his mandate, however it very clear the real reason for his departure, although for all (and according to comments) is implicit: "The Microsoft case" .
It really is a shame that the actions of Yang for trying to keep away from the company Microsoft would not be wanted like this, we can see that even in the 3rd commentary article Yang still feels contempt for the company. This desición taken by Yang, who was based in Yahoo! should maintain a culture, the culture that instilled in their users, and they provided a well-deserved success, and that by accepting an agreement for the acquisition by Microsoft, Yahoo! should abide by all rules that Microsoft imposed.
Yahoo!, Is now searching for a replacement, and one that has left another possible candidate
according to Kara Swisher of The Wall Street Journal's,
which should build a viable company itself, and not try to sell or close down.
And you, what should I do think that

Study on the use of office
A recent study on the use of office software lets Microsoft Office as the most widely used, such as OpenOffice suite with a tiny market share, and the cloud computing Google Docs and Zoho use applications such as marginal.
As shown by this study, Microsoft Word is the most commonly used office automation application, namely the 51% of users used it during the period in which the study was conducted. He follows the notebook from Microsoft, outside the Office suite, with 48% of users, and 26% used Microsoft Excel in the period of the study.
Far beyond these numbers are free applications. Only 5% opted for the free OpenOffice suite. For his part, the cloud computig represented by Google Docs and Google Spreadsheets was used by only 1% and 0.3% respectively. Among the other competitors, the study only draws Zoho, with less than 1%, and declares to ThinkFree and WriteBoard insignificant.
These data show for the umpteenth time as Microsoft continues to have hegemony in terms of office, and shows us that OpenOffice, although free, does not represent a serious threat. In addition, this study is a big blow to those who saw the cloud computing as the future of the internet. And those who believed that people would prefer to have the data always available online.
It is clear that the Saas (Software as a service) is still at a very primary, and that those who bet it took a long time ago to recover their investments. For people like having their data in their own physical systems, hard drives, flash memories, and so on.
However it should be noted that this study was conducted with 2400 samples, users. That may seem low, taking into account the millions of Internet users. Although it is based on the studies, using statistics to give a few individuals, provided they are representative of the total.
