Google in Attack.

The web is crazy! A new war has just starts. A browser war, a clash of the titans, Google and Microsoft, the battle of the browsers. Finally, Google has unveiled their very own web browser they called it Chrome. It designed to take on Industry leading Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and also one time Google web allies Mozilla ( Goodbye Mozilla.). With chrome Google has just declared war not just on Microsoft but also to the Mozilla folks. Google is known to support open source community and Mozilla is one of those but the games has changed Google got no choice but to drop Mozilla.The competition has just started to get hotter. What exactly Google wants here? World domination? Google got greedy here. First they got Google Apps to take on Microsoft Office then they unveiled Chrome to take on Microsoft internet Explorer.

Google Android: The dude? Or big dud?

Today's the day Android strutted its stuff to the world. Is Android the game-changer for the SmartPhone industry, a real contender to the iPhone or just another cell phone OS? It's definitely not just another cell phone OS, as evidenced by all the attention around today's launch. Google has technology that other phones use but Google Android will exploit. Google search, of course is the 800-pound gorilla in search. Add Google maps (including a compass feature Google demonstrated in the T-Mobile [HTC] G1 phone), Google Webkit and the Chrome Web browser (a Chrome Lite comes on Android), Google Talk, YouTube, Google Apps, and so forth. This has allowed Google to layer in a single sign-on for all Google apps, and Android syncs data with your Google account for contacts, calendar, chat and likely other applications in the future.

Gasoline price fall not leading to demand recovery: MasterCard

An ongoing fall in retail gasoline prices is not leading to an immediate bounce in US demand, according to figures released Tuesday in the MasterCard Advisors survey for the week ending October 24. On a four-week moving average, gasoline demand slipped 8% from the year-ago figure, with an average 61.724 million barrels consumed during the week. The demand decline was milder during the week-to-week period, with 62.279 million gallons consumed, and demand slipping to a negative 6.4% rate from the year-ago period -- the same percentage fall as in the previous week ending October 17, 2008. An average 8.897 million b/d of gasoline were used during the week ending October 24, the report said. National average prices in the most recent survey week dropped to $2.

IRS Looking at Google/Mozilla Relationship

ric482 writes "With the release of the Mozilla Foundation's 2007 financial report, questions have been raised by the IRS, who are due to perform an audit on the non-profit organization behind the massively popular Firefox browser. Last year, the Foundation received $66 million of its total $75 million revenue (88 percent) from search engine maestros Google, so the IRS are looking for blood over the organization's tax exempt status. Back in 2006, Mozilla got $59.5 million from Google — around 85 percent of the organization's revenue. Google and Mozilla are part of a 'you scratch my back, I'll pay your bills' sort of agreement with the Google search bar firmly placed in the toolbar, and on the default homepage. Things were a bit rocky a couple of months back when Google unveiled the Beta-run of its Chrome browser, but Mozilla and Google h

Russian Portal Rambler Lays Off 50 Percent Of Staff After Blocked Google Deal: Reports

Rambler, one of Russia’s biggest web portals with three million daily users, is to lay off half its staff according to two reports from Russia, via Yakov. The cuts are to come from non-core sub-brands such as Rambler Telecom, Rambler-Foto and Rambler Vision and could affect as many as 255 staff. This is fallout from the Russian FAS anti-trust authority’s decision to block Google’s bid for contextual advertising firm Begun, in which Rambler has a 50.1 percent stake. Rambler would have received $70.1 million (£43 million) in cash if the deal went through – a significant sum compared to its cash balance of $26.1 million (£16 million) as of June 30. In the first half of the year Rambler made revenues of $51.7 million (£31.

Google Negotiating With Justice Department

mikesd81 writes "Cnet reports that to avoid being sued by the U.S. Justice Department, Google is negotiating with them. The Justice Department and a multistate task force are still reviewing the proposal to decide whether to oppose the partnership. Under the non-exclusive partnership Google would supply Yahoo with some search ads, a move that could increase Yahoo search revenue but that also gives Google even more power in the market. Yahoo expects the 10-year deal to raise revenue by $800 million in its first year and to provide an extra $250 million to $450 million in incremental operating cash flow. Google's share of the U.S. search market reached 71 percent in August, compared with Yahoo's 18.26, according to Hitwise's most recent numbers.

Inside Chrome: the story behind Google's browser

It was always possible that Google would launch its own browser, but never an obvious move: it would mean undercutting the independent Firefox browser that Google has done so much to support. A Google browser would therefore involve a bit of empire building -- adding to the huge pile of pies in which Google already has sticky fingers -- as well as stabbing its friends in the back. (As one member of the Chrome team said: "The fear was that people were going to read this as sabotaging Firefox.") But it went ahead anyway….

Google Chrome: it's not about the browser

Chrome, Google's new browser, was barely out of its wrapping before Internet pundits began writing it off. As the first wave of early-adopter enthusiasts lost interest in their experiments and returned to their original browsers, so analysts began to declare Chrome dead. But there is a far more interesting set of dynamics at work. Google is not after Microsoft's share of the browser market: it's after something much bigger.

Google Now Allows Sites to Serve Content to Them While Showing a Registration Box to Non-Google Users

There once was a time when Google search tried to be a neutral bystander, watching the web without getting too actively involved. There once was a time when Google instructed webmasters to serve their Googlebot the same thing served to a site’s human users. Now, Google is officially telling webmasters they can serve one thing to people coming from Google web search, and another thing to people coming from elsewhere. Think of it as Google now offering publishers to hand Google a special key to the publisher’s content. Google calls this “first click free� and they say they do this in order “to help users find and access content that may require registration or a subscription�, to “include highly relevant content in Google’s search index� and to “to provide a promotion and discovery opportunity for publishers with restric

Google, meanwhile, is exploring its distribution options and examining the various ways it might improve its market share. "We will probably do distribution deals,� Pinchai told The Times. "We could work with an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and have them ship computers with Chrome preinstalled."
