The Amazing Spider Man BINGS!!! does not Google

1.    Watched yesterday...the new spider man movie that's THE AMAZING SPIDER MAN...and noticed one special thing which few of you might not have...the search conducted by our hero was on the search engine Bing....and I could see the Microsoft guys smiling.....but it snapped quiet a funny number of tweets of which my fav one is this one by one Sarahtb0

The Amazing Spider-Man was pretty realistic until Peter Parker used Bing as his search engine.

2.   Now was this some kind of a tie up between Microsoft and Spider Man to lure audience further damage the Google proprietary in the search engine web....or was it scripted like normal..it could have been google also!!!!

GOOGLE finally is OFF from China

1. In my earlier post at this,this and this,the subject matter was under decision making....finally the result is out....Monday night, the cyberspace gargantuan shut its Chinese site and repositioned its search engine services to unexpurgated Hong Kong after two months of confrontation with Beijing over censorship and alleged hacking attacks.

2. The decision has its set of PROs & CONs....this will allow opportunity for others to make an attempt to compete with google which has largely overshadowed the cyber space to a large extent with discussions like one discussed for Data retention policy between Google and Bing.This is going to make China lesser dependent on Google for a large number of things which unknowingly we all have become used to.This will disallow google to retain data as per their existing policies from the complete area of CHINA unlike others who are happily allowing them to retain all data and surfing habits.....now for the CONs....Chinese will not be able to search with the precision they used to(...although will be a temporary phase...they may come up with something better....)...is that the only CON??????I feel it is worth it!!!!!!!!!

Google vs Bing : On Data retention policy change

1. Ever wondered about privacy policy of search engines specifically about Google and Bing...i came to know of this recently while i read at http://www.bing.com/community/blogs/search/archive/2010/01/19/updates-to-bing-privacy.aspx on the subject.

2. In case of Bing,the amount of time IP addresses are stored from searchers is 18 months which the claim now to reduce to 6 months. Generally, when Bing receives search data ,the following things undergo action

First, steps to separate the account information (such as email or phone number) from other information (what the query was, for example).

Secondly , after 18 months another additional step of deleting the IP address and any other cross session IDs associated with the query.

3. Under the new policy, all the steps will continue as were applied previously except that now IP address will be completely removed at 6 months, instead of 18 months. Rival Google had cut retention time to 9 months from 18 in August 2008.Notwithstanding, Microsoft executives arrogates their initiative go much further than Google , because Microsoft intends deleting all parts of the IP (Internet Protocol) address after six months, while Google still retains part of the address after its self-imposed nine-month cut-off point.

Microsoft choose to stay in China: Why not?

1. Just a day after I mentioned that Bing will be seen smiling on Google's exit from the dragon land, Microsoft have released a official statement on this. Brief Extract from http://infotech.indiatimes.com/News-Internet-We_will_stay_in_China_Microsoft/articleshow/5448256.cms reproduced below :

Microsoft Corp has no plans to pull out of China, its chief executive has said, playing down concerns about recent cyber attacks and censorship raised by rival Google Inc.

The company's stance indicates the world's largest software maker is not likely to support its fierce rival in its battle with China and rebuffs broad US political backing for Google.

"There are attacks every day. I don't think there was anything unusual, so I don't understand," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told Reuters after a meeting on modernizing government services at the White House.

"We're attacked every day from all parts of the world and I think everybody else is too. We didn't see anything out of the ordinary."

CHINA & GOOGLE


1. The long tug of war between these two respective giants is finally coming to an end...and the end means the end of GOOGLING in china.The fact that any person can choose to access anything at any time, and usually at no cost is too uncomfortable an idea for the Chinese thinking tank and they have been busy implementing moves and measures to constrain people's access to the internet for about last two years that i have read across in various articles and snips.

2. I can see the smile on the Bing's face now....no Googling means more chance of a Binging and likely revival of few earlier search engines...remember AltaVista generation about 10 years back.
3. Now China's logic behind this!!!!!we all know when we google what happens...i had given on post at http://anupriti.blogspot.com/2009/12/google-binged-my-100th-post.html .This reason is valid though.Extract produced from Google's blog at http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-approach-to-china.html is reproduced below :

Like many other well-known organizations, we face cyber attacks of varying degrees on a regular basis. In mid-December, we detected a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google. However, it soon became clear that what at first appeared to be solely a security incident--albeit a significant one--was something quite different.

First, this attack was not just on Google. As part of our investigation we have discovered that at least twenty other large companies from a wide range of businesses--including the Internet, finance, technology, media and chemical sectors--have been similarly targeted. We are currently in the process of notifying those companies, and we are also working with the relevant U.S. authorities.

Second, we have evidence to suggest that a primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. Based on our investigation to date we believe their attack did not achieve that objective. Only two Gmail accounts appear to have been accessed, and that activity was limited to account information (such as the date the account was created) and subject line, rather than the content of emails themselves.

Third, as part of this investigation but independent of the attack on Google, we have discovered that the accounts of dozens of U.S.-, China- and Europe-based Gmail users who are advocates of human rights in China appear to have been routinely accessed by third parties. These accounts have not been accessed through any security breach at Google, but most likely via phishing scams or malware placed on the users' computers.

4. Who's is correct then? It is just a matter of perspective and convenience of the mind.
