Microsoft: Search-only deal was Yahoo chairman's idea

Moon Dust Could Be Key Ingredient For Giant Lunar Telescope

The idea of an optical telescope on the moon gets astronomers understandably excited. With no atmosphere to blur incoming light, a lunar telescope could capture razor sharp images at magnifications that would not be possible with terrestrial 'scopes. But a major stumbling block - the cost of getting telescope construction materials to the moon - has derailed the idea in the past. Now, however, scientists as NASA may have stumbled upon a low-cost raw material to fabricate the telescope from - moon dust.

Web Design Clinic - Starks Building Directory

I really like the idea of match the design color scheme to the building interior. After all, this is a website about a building, and that's a great way to continue the brand. Daniel also carries the brand through in other ways - such as the favicon and the subtle marbling in the navigation bar. And it's an interesting idea to show the building with the floor numbers as an index to the businesses on each floor. However the usability was a bit flawed for me.

Michael Lawrence: All for one

One country, one person, one Australia. The idea came to Melbourne's Michel Lawrence out of disgust, but the result was much more positive. Sitting in front of his TV in Melbourne in 2005, Michel Lawrence had an 'allergic reaction' to the Cronulla riots which gave him a deceptively simple idea for a photography project. 'You watch this stuff on TV and you wonder why people are doing this - this is no way for a multicultural society to behave,' he says.

E3: Looking Into the Mirror's Edge

as part of its E3 offering. Because SPOnG likes the idea of leaping across rooftops in fancy footwear but doesn't too much fancy the idea of plummeting to our doom, we're rather pleased by the new footage. We thought you might be too, so you'll find it below.

Moving on, fixing up, and the fight for Narnia.mobi

Sometimes you read something and think "That's a crazy idea. I can't believe it worked." Sometimes you read something and think "That's a great idea. I hope it works." And sometimes you read something and think "How is that going to work?" Well this week we have submissions in each category -- and one that doesn't fit the pattern.

Laying bare museums in We st Africa

What should a writer do if an inspiring idea for a new book descends on him right inside the tub, having his morning bath? For many, deciding on what to do could pose a dilemma, but for Dr. Anthony Jerry Agada, Minister of State for Education 1, it is as simple as ABC: tie a towel round your waist, dash out of the bathroom as fast you can, and put down the idea before it takes flight. It is a situation Agada has had to deal with several times, and his response has been fairly standardized.

Typo Error In Google

I am facing a strange problem. I have no idea why this is happening, the problem is that, if someone types a keyword with typo, my site appears on top page of google, but if the keyword with correct spelling is entered, my website is nowhere. Any idea?

Portrait: NimbleX creator Bogdan Radulescu

Sometimes all it takes to foment innovation may be an idea that sounds cool. When Romanian developer Bogdan Radulescu first ran into what would eventually be known as OpenOffice.org, he says, "I thought it was pretty cool. I had no idea at that time what is open source. I only knew I don't have to pay for that software." It was the beginning of a career that eventually produced NimbleX, a mini-live CD project designed to be fast, light, and functional for everyday use.

Random Scams Won't Take Down Google

Three years ago, reporter Tom Foremski tossed out his idea for how Microsoft could kill Google in an underhanded way: offer $100 million to whoever clicked on a random Google ad. The trick would be that no one (other than the person administering the prize at Microsoft) would know what the ad is. Foremski's theory was that this would lead to massive clickfraud and anger from Google advertisers. Of course, there are a lot of assumptions in there that likely wouldn't hold up in a real world test (with the biggest being that the whole deal would stop working the second someone "won"). However, now we've got Mark Cuban tossing out a suggestion for how to take down Google that seems to come from the same "wishful thinking" playbook. Cuban's idea is that Microsoft (with Yahoo) should offer to pay the top 100,000 sites in Google to get them to r

TECH BLOGSocial Net Data Portability: Too Much Information?

In the social networking world, there's been a rush, of late, toward data portability -- the idea that you can take your social networking profile with you across the Web. The idea is popular, but social networks need to remember the lessons learned from the Beacon fiasco.

Google Health Beta Test Begins

How many people think allowing Google to store all your health records is a good idea? I mean, it sounds convenient but there are so many things that could go wrong, is it really a good idea?

Sony (SNE) Peddles Qore to PS3's Audience, Nintendo's (NTDOY) Wii Fit Follows the Euro

Is it just me, or is there an unusually high number of bonehead ideas coming out of corporate boardrooms lately? The latest idea is courtesy of Sony's (SNE: sentiment, chart, options) PlayStation Network. On the surface, the company's new Qore service of online game news, exclusive demos, game add-ons, and beta invitations seems like a wonderful idea. Then we get to the fine print: "The introductory price for Qore is $2.99 for a single episode and $24.99 for an annual subscription of 13 episodes." So, SNE wants gamers to pay for advertising for video games, movies, add-ons, etc.?

Street Seems Skeptical of Microsoft's Live Search CashBack

Microsoft’s (MSFT) new Live Search Cash Back program, which gives online shoppers rebates from about 700 retailers for purchases made through the company’s product search service, is a fascinating idea, which seems to basically amount to bribing Web surfers to get their traffic. That’s not necessarily a new idea, but the ambition of Microsoft’s effort suggests investors ought to at least consider whether it has a chance to work.

Google's plug-in craze

Google is a company that prides itself on being a web company and helping to move everything into the browser. They created services like Google Maps and GMail which heavily relied on Ajax and helped usher in the idea of a much greater user experience inside the browser. In a lot of ways they brought the original idea of RIAs, which was to move away from the page model, into the main stream. And along the way they became big supporters of the browser as an entity and supporting standards. So the past couple of days have been interesting because it seems like Google has moved beyond what the browser can offer alone and has started leveraging plug-ins to add functionality where needed.

Chemistry has radical idea for avian migration

Animal migration associated with the Earth’s magnetic field has long been thought to be based on tiny magnetic particles. However, now it appears that there could be suitable chemical reactions that would do the trick. Peter J Hore and colleagues at Oxford University and Arizona State University have investigated the proposal that magnetically–sensitive free-radical reactions could be involved, in particular in the migration of birds.
