The chart below will illustrates many of the services these companies provide. Some of their products have been cornerstone revenue streams, and others are just at the beginning of development. But putting them up against each other really helps illustrate each company’s focus and their possible future directions of exploration

In last week Google said that it would no longer censor web result in China even if that meant to close down there operations in China.
"Google like to expand its business in china, We like Chinese people and our Chinese employees", Schimdt said.
"As far as Cyber attacks are concern Google will take necessary technical steps to prevent such attack in future",he said.

The Malaysian Goverment has warned internet users for excessive use of micro-blogging sites like FaceBook,Twitter,Orkut etc, arguing that they could erode the country's culture.
The Information and communication minister Mr. Rais Yatim said that Muslims and other religious groups must be away of the internet as it was introduced by the west.
"We are not saying they cannot use Facebook or Twitter, but when using such facilities, they must upkeep the values taught by Islam, Buddhism or Christianity to maintain our culture,"
Rais said users must not be influenced by what they see and hear when using the Internet."We must be strong in our belief and culture because the identity and image of our country depends on us,"

A new change in the display URL policy has been declared.
Policy adjustment for display URLs
The change will take place in the policy for URL’s displayed for the ads that lead to hosted domains.
The sub-domain part of the domain needs to be displayed along with the main domain.
This policy can be understood with the help of an example. Let’s say if the URL for the AdWords blog is http://adwords.blogspot.com, then in that case, the display URL according to rules should be adwords.blogspot.com and not just blogspot.com. This change applies to all URL's.

The number of Internet user in china is 384 million by the end of 2009, One of the government linked industry body bring this information.
The online population in the world's most populous nation increased by 28.9 percent last year from the end of 2008, the China Internet Network Information Centre (CNNIC) said in a report published on its website.
Users accessing the Internet with mobile phones jumped by 120 million last year to 233 million, with the fast expansion of the country's third-generation (3G) network, allowing high-speed transmission of images and video.
The report added that Chinese web users are most interested in music, news and search engine services. This CNNIC report come after when world largest search engine company Google threaten china to pack up his business from china due to cyber attacks.
The video clearly shows that Google sometimes lists your blocked urls, but shows no description, meaning that they have not “crawled” those urls but still list them as they found them, thereby abiding by robots.txt. Sometimes they extract the description from the ODP, and not by actually crawling the url. So many times these Google search results are just an ‘uncrawled url reference’

Lawyers suing China for 2.2 billion US dollars in an Internet-censoring software piracy case said they came under cyberattack this week.
Attorneys at the California law firm of Gipson Hoffman & Pancione said that on Monday they began receiving "Trojan emails" crafted to trick them into opening files booby-trapped with malicious software code.
"Trojan emails are specially constructed to retrieve data from the target's computer and often allow the sender to gain access to the target's computer or to the company's servers," the firm said in a release.
"It has not yet been determined whether any of the attempts were successful."
The law firm last week filed a lawsuit on behalf of Cybersitter accusing China of using the California company's copyrighted software censorship programs being mandated for computers sold in that country.
On Tuesday, US internet company AOL announced that it intends to close its German and French offices as a part of worldwide round of job cuts.
AOL began meetings at its European offices on Monday, when it announced plans to shut down installations starting in Spain and Sweden.
"A plan to close offices in France was presented to staff on Monday,"
No timetable was presented and AOL will first consult with staff representatives as required under French law.
In Germany, AOL will close its offices in Hamburg, Duesseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich, cutting 140 jobs, another spokesman said.
AOL, which employed 19,000 people in 2006, will have 4,400 employees after the restructuring plan is completed.
Google threatened Tuesday to shut down its operations in China after uncovering what it said were "highly sophisticated" cyberattacks aimed at Chinese human rights activists.
China-based cyber spies struck the Internet giant and at least 20 other unidentified firms in an apparent bid to hack into the email accounts of activists around the world, Google said Tuesday.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Beijing to explain the cyberattacks.

"We look to the Chinese government for an explanation," the chief US diplomat said in a released statement.
"The ability to operate with confidence in cyberspace is critical in a modern society and economy."
The online espionage has Google reconsidering its business operations in China and it said it will no longer filter Internet search engine results in that country.
"These attacks and the surveillance they have uncovered -- combined with the attempts over the past year to further limit free speech on the Web -- have led us to conclude that we should review the feasibility of our business operations in China," Google chief legal officer David Drummond said in a blog post.
"We are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all," he said.
Drummond said Google realizes that defying Chinese government demands regarding filtering Internet search engine results may mean having to shut down its operations in China.
Google said it detected in mid-December "a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google."
The company said it was notifying at least 20 other large companies of similar attacks including finance, Internet, media, technology, and chemical firms. Related article: Baidu shares up after Google warning "We have no indication that any of our mail properties have been compromised,"

Today China's largest search engine, Baidu.com, said that it was temporarily shut down after a cyber attack.
Hackers briefly blocked access to China's top search engine by steering traffic to another Web site where a group reportedly calling itself the "Iranian Cyber Army" claimed responsibility.
"Services on Baidu's main website http://www.baidu.com were interrupted today due to external manipulation of its DNS (domain name server) in the U.S. Baidu has been resolving this issue and the majority of services have been restored," Baidu spokesman Victor Tseng said in a statement.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said at a regular news briefing Tuesday that China "opposes all cyber crimes, including hacking."
There was no evidence the hackers are actually linked to Iran.
Baidu, pronounced "by-doo," holds a market value of about $13 billion and dominates China's Internet search like Google dominates the market in just about every other major country in the world. The research firm Analysys International pegs Baidu's share at about 62 percent of China's internet search market compared to 29 percent for Google.

Its time for WiFi Charity, Internet Leader Google announced about providing free WiFi across 47 airports in US by Jan 15 2010, after few hours Yahoo an other Giant of Internet market announce giving free WiFi, Yahoo has partnered with Times Square Alliance to provide free WiFi.
This service will be available in Time Square, New York. It has already started and will continue throughout all of 2010.
Providing free WiFi is actuaaly a good way to promote the use of Yahoo or Google as it start with the customized start page.
This service hopes to see about half a million visitors daily using their Internet accessible devices.
Google indulging so deeply in to our private lives and with every human being treated as just another user, folks at CurrentTV have imagined the hell over the Privacy concerns. They created this interesting animation on YouTube about the Google Toilet, a new product that can literally sift through your sh*t to deliver the ultimate targeted ads. It’s filled with Fun and Humor, you can’t dare to miss. I like the end part where he was arrested by the police/military because “the U.S. Government is not cool with the way you are living with your life“.
Enjoy the video!
Is Google Page Rank gone? I cannot see page rank on any of my own websites, not even on Google.com. Has Google removed the Page Rank concept from its toolbar promotion? It seems all Gone…Not Green, Not Grey. Not white, all Gone. Is it gone forever or it’s just a bug?
I have read many experts discussing that Google will get rid of the visible toolbar indicator one day, and at the moment of the day there is no Page Rank data visible on any of the browsers. I tried on (Fire Fox, chrome, IE).
Do you guyz out there familiar with the PR promotion concept see PR in your toolbar?
1. Cloud Computing. Cloud computing is a style of computing that characterizes a model in which providers deliver a variety of IT-enabled capabilities to consumers. Cloud-based services can be exploited in a variety of ways to develop an application or a solution. Using cloud resources does not eliminate the costs of IT solutions, but does re-arrange some and reduce others. In addition, consuming cloud services enterprises will increasingly act as cloud providers and deliver application, information or business process services to customers and business partners.
2. Advanced Analytics. Optimization and simulation is using analytical tools and models to maximize business process and decision effectiveness by examining alternative outcomes and scenarios, before, during and after process implementation and execution. This can be viewed as a third step in supporting operational business decisions. Fixed rules and prepared policies gave way to more informed decisions powered by the right information delivered at the right time, whether through customer relationship management (CRM) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) or other applications. The new step is to provide simulation, prediction, optimization and other analytics, not simply information, to empower even more decision flexibility at the time and place of every business process action. The new step looks into the future, predicting what can or will happen.
3. Client Computing. Virtualization is bringing new ways of packaging client computing applications and capabilities. As a result, the choice of a particular PC hardware platform, and eventually the OS platform, becomes less critical. Enterprises should proactively build a five to eight year strategic client computing roadmap outlining an approach to device standards, ownership and support; operating system and application selection, deployment and update; and management and security plans to manage diversity.
4. IT for Green. IT can enable many green initiatives. The use of IT, particularly among the white collar staff, can greatly enhance an enterprise’s green credentials. Common green initiatives include the use of e-documents, reducing travel and teleworking. IT can also provide the analytic tools that others in the enterprise may use to reduce energy consumption in the transportation of goods or other carbon management activities.
5. Reshaping the Data Center. In the past, design principles for data centers were simple: Figure out what you have, estimate growth for 15 to 20 years, then build to suit. Newly-built data centers often opened with huge areas of white floor space, fully powered and backed by a uninterruptible power supply (UPS), water-and air-cooled and mostly empty. However, costs are actually lower if enterprises adopt a pod-based approach to data center construction and expansion. If 9,000 square feet is expected to be needed during the life of a data center, then design the site to support it, but only build what’s needed for five to seven years. Cutting operating expenses, which are a nontrivial part of the overall IT spend for most clients, frees up money to apply to other projects or investments either in IT or in the business itself.
6. Social Computing. Workers do not want two distinct environments to support their work – one for their own work products (whether personal or group) and another for accessing “external” information. Enterprises must focus both on use of social software and social media in the enterprise and participation and integration with externally facing enterprise-sponsored and public communities. Do not ignore the role of the social profile to bring communities together.
7. Security – Activity Monitoring. Traditionally, security has focused on putting up a perimeter fence to keep others out, but it has evolved to monitoring activities and identifying patterns that would have been missed before. Information security professionals face the challenge of detecting malicious activity in a constant stream of discrete events that are usually associated with an authorized user and are generated from multiple network, system and application sources. At the same time, security departments are facing increasing demands for ever-greater log analysis and reporting to support audit requirements. A variety of complimentary (and sometimes overlapping) monitoring and analysis tools help enterprises better detect and investigate suspicious activity – often with real-time alerting or transaction intervention. By understanding the strengths and weaknesses of these tools, enterprises can better understand how to use them to defend the enterprise and meet audit requirements.
8. Flash Memory. Flash memory is not new, but it is moving up to a new tier in the storage echelon. Flash memory is a semiconductor memory device, familiar from its use in USB memory sticks and digital camera cards. It is much faster than rotating disk, but considerably more expensive, however this differential is shrinking. At the rate of price declines, the technology will enjoy more than a 100 percent compound annual growth rate during the new few years and become strategic in many IT areas including consumer devices, entertainment equipment and other embedded IT systems. In addition, it offers a new layer of the storage hierarchy in servers and client computers that has key advantages including space, heat, performance and ruggedness.
9. Virtualization for Availability. Virtualization has been on the list of top strategic technologies in previous years. It is on the list this year because Gartner emphases new elements such as live migration for availability that have longer term implications. Live migration is the movement of a running virtual machine (VM), while its operating system and other software continue to execute as if they remained on the original physical server. This takes place by replicating the state of physical memory between the source and destination VMs, then, at some instant in time, one instruction finishes execution on the source machine and the next instruction begins on the destination machine.
10. Mobile Applications. By year-end 2010, 1.2 billion people will carry handsets capable of rich, mobile commerce providing a rich environment for the convergence of mobility and the Web. There are already many thousands of applications for platforms such as the Apple iPhone, in spite of the limited market and need for unique coding. It may take a newer version that is designed to flexibly operate on both full PC and miniature systems, but if the operating system interface and processor architecture were identical, that enabling factor would create a huge turn upwards in mobile application availability.
