Is it Time to Move to Linux?
Recently I'm installing Linux Ubuntu on a PC and quite impressed with their developments. Linux Ubuntu becoming more and more user friendly for me (although for average PC users will still quite difficult to use Linux).
With my current needs of computing and work which is almost all of it is web based, such as chat with my abroad collegues, checking emails, social networking, blogging, web administration, server administration, etc. I started to feel that the need of Microsoft Windows is less demanding.
Yahoo! Say No! To Microsoft
Just read ArsTechnica today and found out that Yahoo in the end say “no” to Microsoft $44.6 billion bid to take over Yahoo. The board member of Yahoo said that Microsoft’s offer is undervalued Yahoo.
After rejecting Microsoft’s offer, Yahoo still need to find a way to solve the problem. Another article said that Yahoo thinking about making cooperation with Google, to serve ads on Yahoo search page in exchange of big revenue from the advertiser. But then if this cooperation happens, Google will monopolize online advertising.
Yahoo!: Yahoo Always Have Other Options
With all the news on the internet about Microsoft will acquire Yahoo, I’m quite shocked. How come Yahoo can collapse? Some news site said that Yahoo can’t compete with Google on online advertising market.
Many people dislike the fact that Microsoft will buy Yahoo, I don’t really like it too. Most people concern about privacy, market domination, monopoly, etc. I think it’s true. If Microsoft does buy Yahoo, surely Microsoft will monopolize both desktop and internet as they have dominant MS Windows and Yahoo have lot users of Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo Mail.
