GOOGLE ACCUSES BING FOR COPYING SEARCH RESULTS

For words like 'hiybbprqag' Google has accused Microsoft of cheating, following an investigation known as the 'Bing Sting' headed by an Indian Google fellow Amit Singhal.

Google engineers created 100 nonsensical queries such as "hiybbprqag" and inserted a fake result for each.

Within weeks, the same results began to appear on its rival Microsoft's Bing search engine.

Microsoft denies copying Google and accused Google of conducting "spy-novelesque stunts".

Harry Shum, vice president of Bing, said: "We do not copy Google's search results. We use multiple signals and approaches in ranking search results," he added.

"Opt-in programs like the toolbar help us with clickstream data, one of many input signals we and other search engines use to help rank sites," he added.

Cheap imitation

"A search for 'hiybbprqug' on Bing returned a page about seating at a theatre in Los Angeles. As far as we know the only connection between the query and result is Google's result page," he said.

"We noticed that URLs from Google search results would later appear in Bing with increasing frequency," he went on.

He concluded that Microsoft was gathering data on what people search for on Google, via either Internet Explorer or the Bing Search toolbar.

"Some Bing results increasingly look like an incomplete, stale version of Google results - a cheap imitation," he said.

"On the one hand you could say it's incredibly clever. Why not mine what people are selecting as the top results on Google as a signal?" he wrote on his blog.

But he also said he had sympathy for Google's view that Bing is doing something wrong.

"Every search engine has its own 'search voice', a unique set of search results that it provides, based on its collection of documents and its own particular method of ranking those.

I think Bing should develop its own search voice without using Google's as a tuning fork," he added.

Wider issues for him include how Google went about setting up its honeypot trap to ensnare Bing and whether it was just a "clever way to distract from current discussions about its search quality".

Google has stressed that it has now removed the one-time code that it added to plant the fake pages.

Had any of its fake queries proved popular, it said that it would have removed the page they linked to.

He also questioned how much consumers knew about the data capture that must have been involved in gathering Google's search results, either via Internet Explorer or the Bing toolbar.

"Do Internet Explorer users know that they might be helping Bing in the way Google alleges? Technically, yes. Explicitly, absolutely not," he said.

YAHOO BUZZ SUCKS !

You got Yahoo Buzz working on your site the right way ?............u are one of the few lucky ones then, or maybe you are one of the few sites invited for the closed doors beta testing. Well, the service is now open to the public, and Yahoo say that publishers can submit their stories or articles to let their users vote for it just like Stumble Upon.

At first the sign up process sounds very easy, if you already have a Yahoo account you can use it to sign-up for their "Buzz" social news bookmarking service, another thing that makes people go for it right away is that Yahoo Buzz community has a lot of very nice people, which is way better from what Dig offers, where the community is just an online social news portal full of geeks, nerds, and want a bee’s, that only concern is tech stuff.

The Code.

Yes, you can just copy and paste the code on your website or blog... But, they forgot to tell you that even the easy code need customization. Now, if you really want to customize the code, so it will work automatically with your article pages, you can by following the instruction. Then, the only thing you need to do is to submit your content to Yahoo Buzz or way until someone does it for you. Yes, one simple click and done, or least that's their promise!

The Hook.

Come on, did you think Yahoo will invest money to build a powerful social bookmarking site without a hook? They know that for the service to have the viral marketing effect it needs to be a strong one, which in the case of the search giant, by just promising that your site will be on their Buzz service is enough, knowing the amount of traffic they receive every day. But, they wanted to make it irresistible, so they come out with an even better deal. If your story or article get popular enough by getting a lot of buzzed up from users, your article can be feature on the Yahoo homepage, how crazy that can be, eh! What a hook!

Excellent social media marketing tool, because of the web traffic power that can deliver to your site is huge, maybe will not give you SEO help but the traffic that you can get from the site along is more than enough.

So, Why Yahoo Buzz Sucks?

The answer is simple, because none of those things can work if your content can't get Buzzed! The buttons don't work, their story submission form don't work, which make all those promises a bunch of crap.

You can expect to use a web 2.0 or social media marketing tool if it doesn't work... Come on guys, let's put some smart people work on it and fix this social news site that has the potential to be way more popular than Dig and Stumble Upon.

To learn how you can be part of an online association full with social marketing experts and web business advisers by visiting the Internet Entrepreneurs Club.

In Conclusion: Don't take my advice and just don't try it, you should try it, you may get lucky or you may be better than me at HTML and XML, and you can make the site work for you. Remember that innovative thinking needs to be part of your online business plan, and Buzz can really give you web 2.0 marketing efforts a boost

FACEBOOK WILL NOT END ON MARCH 15TH, INTERNET HOAX WORRIES USERS

It's not clear how it started, but a ridiculous rumor that Facebook is shutting down is spreading fast on social networks.

The hot rumor evidenced by Google Trends and gaining traction on Twitter says that on March 15, 2011, Facebook will be closing down. Not taking a day off, not undergoing maintenance, but ending entirely.

Facebook users are also concerned. Says one: "Facebook is shutting down on March 15, 2011 for good laugh, Is there any way we can stop this ?" And a group has already started to stop Facebook from shutting down.

Ironically, Yahoo announced last month that its "Yahoo Video" will be closing down on the date in question, March 15, 2011, and videos can be seen for the last time on March 14. But that hardly means it's taking the rest of the Internet down with it.

Just a day ago, an opinion piece published on CNN said that the recent Goldman Sachs investment was the "beginning of the end" for Facebook. That post went viral with more than 5,000 Facebook "likes" and could be partially to blame for the ensuing panic.

Whatever the reason for this rumor, it's safe to say that as a site with more than 500 million users and a $500 million investment from Goldman Sachs recently, Facebook won't be shutting down anytime soon.

UPDATE (3:30 p.m. ET) ABC News speculates that the rumor started with this post published Jan. 8 by the satirical Weekly World News. Facebook has yet to officially respond to the rumor.

UPDATE: (6 p.m. ET) Facebook has officially responded to the rumors with a tweet: "We didn't get the memo about shutting down, so we'll keep working away. We aren't going anywhere; we're just getting started." A company spokesman also dismissed the rumors as "silliness.

WHAT ARE THE BEST COSMETICS FOR OILY SKIN ?

It’s always wise to speak to a doctor/ dermatologist or at least a beauty therapist. You might need changing your diet or addressing a hormonal imbalance.

However some basics I am providing here. Maintain your 3 step cycle of cleansing, toning and moisturizing morning and night, using a scrub at least once a week will remove dead skin debris which can clog your pores further, try a mask as well Peyote makes an excellent drawing out mask.

When it comes to make up, use a foundation which is (obviously) oil free but also (very important) non-comodogenic and non-acnedogenic, this will prevent blackheads, whiteheads and pimples that can be caused by make-up.

The kind of foundation you buy will also depend on the finish you want. If you want to mattify your skin a powder-based/ pancake foundation with those qualities I mentioned above will work best because the powder particles absorb oil a lot better.

If you're after a more natural finish but still want coverage a liquid foundation (again, with those properties I mentioned before) will work well. The liquid foundations melt much more easily into the skin so they give a much more radiant, natural finish. Applying it with your *clean* fingers will give you an even better result.

If you're after top quality, Clinique is wonderful. They have over 36 different types of foundations at least 10 of which are for your skin type, in many forms, so you can see if you like solid make up or liquid more. If you want something that will still work but won't break the bank, Revlon Color stay makeup for Oily/ Combination Skin (liquid) is what I use for everyday and it has fantastic coverage with a very natural finish. Their pancake is also very good.

When it comes to the zit end of the equation, foundation can't do it all. A concealer is your best weapon. You can use a green stick to neutralize the redness of your spots and then cover with some foundation and a little brush or another concealer that matches your skin tone.

Never bulk up your make up, that includes foundation “and” concealer. You won't hide the imperfections completely, what you need to do is minimize them and draw attention away from them. This is easily achieved with matt products and colors that “match” (a concealer that is too light/ dark will “draw” the eye to your flaws).

And remember, for any skin problem: "Chin up and a concealer in your pocket." The rest will take of itself.

Movie Downloads online

To download movies online you need to either pay or download it free from sites. Some sites ask money for each movie. Some ask for membership fee and some allows you free downloads.

legitimate membership movie viewing internet site is going to allow you to download movies for your personal library. Hulu is a great site for instant access to movies and TV episodes from virtually all era's of visual media. They offer cheap rates and you can choose the resolution for most of their videos. They also offer a desktop application interface.

If you want to download movies i suggest you research bit torrents and bit torrent sites. You will not find to many 1080p download movies, they are simply too large. Many of them will however be available at 720p. If you choose to follow this path do it at your own risk.

Here I must warn you that if you are downloading movies from torrents then you must be careful. You should not download copyright contents cuz its illegal. You can be jailed if caught. These days cyber army is very smart in catching people downloading copyright files via torrents. Some good torrent host are piratebay, demonoid, mastitorrents, etc.

If you really want to download movies without worrying about getting caught, here is what I suggest:

1. Rent a movie at your local library. They are usually free.

2. Copy it with DVDshrink.

You have no risk of getting a virus this way.

2)Trim the beginning and/or ending of your videos

3)Add soundtracks from our AudioSwap library of tens of thousands of songs

HOW TO MAKE PAPER AIRPLANES THAT FLY FOR A LONG TIME

Everyone....wants to test their paper airplane at some point. After all, the reason we build them is to fly them. And every airplane that has ever been built has had some testing done on it to make sure that it flies properly.

But have you ever put any thought into how your throw your airplanes? The design is important to the overall flight of the airplane, but sometimes you might have a paper plane that is designed so well, but it just doesn‘t want to fly. Why is this? It could be the way you throw your airplane.

My 5-year-old brother has a heck of a time throwing his paper airplane properly. This is because he doesn‘t understand how to release and the toss affect the flight of the airplane. For that matter, many kids and adults alike have a tough time throwing a paper plane properly.

So, what do you have to do when..... you throw your paper airplane? Here are a few things that you need to keep in mind:

Find the place on the handle of the airplane where the center of gravity is. We‘ll show you how to do this later in this chapter. This is going to give you the greatest chance of throwing the paper airplane properly.

Throw the airplane with enough force to get it moving swiftly through the air, but not too much that it just hit the ground, or the nose lifts up in the air because it has too much thrust.

You need to throw your airplane at, or near, level. If you throw it with the nose down, there is a good chance it will continue downward and have a hard crash. If you throw it with the nose up, you will probably keep going straight up, and create too much drag. These are the types of airplanes that fly straight up, and then come back straight toward you.

Checking for the center of gravity:

This is very important in order to get everything set for your airplane to glide freely upon the air. A proper center of gravity is crucial for anything to work well. It doesn‘t matter if it is an athlete, a car, or a paper airplane. A good strong point for center of gravity is important to make sure that all the other moving parts are working together.

Before we get to how to find the center of gravity, some of you are probably wondering what exactly the center of gravity is.

Everything has atoms. And the forces of gravity act on each atom. With an airplane, they have a force that pulls down on one point called the center of gravity. At the center of gravity, an airplane will literally balance on one finger.

If you are trying to find the center of gravity, and you believe you have found it, mark it with a pencil, so you know where to hold the paper airplane before you throw it.

Here is a surefire method for checking if you are grabbing the right point on your airplane for the best center of gravity“

Get a large fan one that blows out a low of air.

Hold the airplane very loosely between your index finger and your thumb and the nose of the plane should be pointing to the floor.

Slowly drop the plane (still holding on and facing the nose down to the floor) into the draft of the fan. You should still be able to hold on the airplane and have it balance against the wind. If you are holding on to it too close to the front, the drag from the back end will flip the airplane over with the nose coming straight back toward you. Too close to the back and the nose will blow directly back toward you. You will have the center of gravity when the airplane will stay balanced on your fingers.

Mark this spot with a pencil so you know where to hold the airplane every time you throw.

When you find your center of gravity, this is going to dramatically increase your ability to create a great paper airplane. This is so important if you want to make your airplane soar into the sky and much higher than everyone else's airplane.
