Microsoft opens up its closed source

Posted by admin | Comments (0)

Finally Mr Bill Gates did it….well better late then never.

I don’t know what prompted Microsoft to do this but its a welcome move from the Redmond software giant that would allow more flexibility and better scalability across software platforms.

Microsoft has announced that it will now open up its much guarded software blueprint and secrets to general user and developers. The software blueprints will be visible on the Microsoft website BUT BUT don’t expect to see the source code yet.One reason why Microsoft took such a step is due to the never ending lawsuits that are pushed against it or maybe they are tired of their lame lawyers :) don’t know for sure.

Why I HATE WIKIPEDIA

Posted by admin | Comments (0)

Now i have to write about this…… I have been trying to view these things from a neutral perspective but i just cant help it,the total system is flawed beyond repair.

Now here is the story, recently i posted a entry on wiki about a niche job board and trust me there was no advertising hype or ligo used…NONE.Withing seconds of posting that entry i saw this “This article meets criteria for speedy deletion” because blah blah blah and somewhere in between it said because it is a website,comic strip….and more yada yada yada.
Well so it said its a website hmmm…Mr Administrators don’t see that many websites are listed and blatantly advertise ,for example try searching for naukri.com on wikipedia.

Mr pathetic admin aren’t dice.com , google.com or yahoo.com websites ,why don’t you remove them ?

One very honest suggestion - Why don’t people who have some knowledge be assigned as administrators rather than pacifier sucking babies.Frankly I don’t want some 15 yr old frustrated dude mercilessly editing or deleting my entry just because he is frustrated with his life or girlfriend…well whatever.

I wholeheartedly support google’s knol project at least i wont be bothered by senseless people who have a IQ equal to a breadplant deleting my contributions/entries just because it fits into some obnoxious wiki law.

Google has associations with SEO Companies…

Posted by admin | Comments (0)

 

One day while doing some casual browsing i stumbled upon something that really caught my attention.Well as we all know our friend the big G openly claims that it doesn’t have any association with any seo companies ( as it says ). So here’s something to contradict those claims.

Here is what they say….exact lines ( straight from the horse’s mouth )

” While Google doesn’t have relationships with any SEOs and doesn’t offer recommendations “

and here is what i found :

http://services.google.com/websiteoptimizer/partners.html

and there it can be clearly seen that most of the companies listed there offer seo services.

Foot in mouth …eh ??
