    As the Bing assault hots up, what about Operation Chrome OS?

    Open source surely makes sense in 21st century? This is old news, published in 2007 and, although many won't agree, it does go some way in reassuring myself that I'm not barking mad or dreaming. It's not that I have anything in particular against Windows, it's just that I believe in open...

    As the Bing assault hots up, what about Operation Chrome OS?

    An "unreliable" source I would point the finger of blame at the writer of Bingoo! I quote from this "unreliable" source: "Earlier this month, Google announced that it is developing a free operating system for personal computers called Chrome OS, thus mounting a direct attack on Microsoft and...

    As the Bing assault hots up, what about Operation Chrome OS?

    On and on... I must say, Minstrel, I do like like these exchanges. It brightens up my mornings. Yes, sir. Will try harder. Who said Chrome OS is invulnerable? I thought I said that the Mac was less secure but that Google is working on Chrome to improve security. You said not to believe...

    As the Bing assault hots up, what about Operation Chrome OS?

    I have no idea about the relative safety, only to say that the Mac is not attacked as much because of relative volumes. I have read the Mac is far less secure. But it really depends on the security of Chrome OS, which I understand will be very much tighter. It hasn't been launched yet, so how...

    As the Bing assault hots up, what about Operation Chrome OS?

    Not in a snowball's chance in hell... The first thing I would like to say here is that I do not use Windows any more after a security breach as I don't trust its security, so there's bias afoot. The driver compatibility issue was taken from wired.com (Five Things Google’s Chrome OS Will Do for...

    As the Bing assault hots up, what about Operation Chrome OS?

    In this week's edition of the Economist they ran a cartoon with an outraged Yahoo! sitting atop the shoulders of a belligerent Bing, both cudgel-bearing and incensed, standing on the palm of a club-wielding Neanderthal-like titan Microsoft, shouting, "We think it is wrong to have a market...

    Google's malware notices out of control?

    Twitter Possibly, but the real Twitter did reset it. Anyway, just a few words of caution.

    Google's malware notices out of control?

    Twitter As if to illustrate a point, I've just received this: Hey there. Due to concern that your account may have been compromised in a phishing attack that took place off-Twitter, your password was reset. Please create a new password.

    Google's malware notices out of control?

    Cleaning up the mess You are correct, Minstrel. The post was meant to be informative and the title was a bit misleading without further explanation. I did get hacked and 50 clients' sites were infected. It took a 96-hour purge to rid them of the malware. The reasons for this post were: a) I...

    Google's malware notices out of control?

    About a month ago, the office PC was hacked and all clients' Control Panel and FTP details were taken by the Chinese (the iFrames all had .cn). It took a week to clear and everything was fine, with password security severely tightened. Except today another client informed me that he has had the...

    Bing a boon to search marketers?

    When Bing becomes a verb When bigcat1967 (will that in future become bingcat1967?) wants to look up something, he says he "googles" xyz and that is pretty standard for most of us. It's a bit like a brand such as hoover becoming a verb. I really don't have any objection to "binging" xyz but that...

    Businesses finding new customers on Twitter. Are you?

    Twitter "in its infancy" but already precocious The article Linda pointed me to on advertisers and consumers seems to conclude that neither the writer, the pollsters nor I seem to have much idea what will become of Twitter. I simply add the headline to the story with an accompanying url...

    Like banks, should Google, master to the gates of our online world, be regulated?

    The essence of the article is stated in the final paragraph: "The only real solution is disclosure. Transparency. Those traffic generators that use rule-based algorithms to determine result sets must publicly disclose their methodologies..." Microsoft's algorithm is just as much held secret...

    Businesses finding new customers on Twitter. Are you?

    Search Engine Land writes "...There are countless stories in circulation about how businesses are using Twitter to find customers and serve existing ones. Some businesses have figured out how to use Twitter Search and other similar tools to hear what customers are saying and make connections...

    BBC sees end of fortress journalism, with Web 2.0 eroding its space

    The internet, it seems, has many in the mainstream media worried. Our job as SEMs used to be about discovering sites that would allow us a link, together with registering sites with a vast directory base. This is the case no more. We now have to be journalists of a sort, providing quality copy...

    Like banks, should Google, master to the gates of our online world, be regulated?

    TechCrunch recently published an article "The Time Has Come To Regulate Search Engine Marketing And SEO)". The essence of the article is that Google (and now Bing, of course, naturally) is the opaque "governor" of our online business world and should be regulated, with its "Chinese walls" rent...

    How relevant are the search results for Bing, Google, and Yahoo?

    I understand both loyalty and the fact that fat cats do get complacent. IBM is a classic example of that. The order of the listings on the first couple of sites was familiar because I know them well. So, I tried again, this time with search phrases I have no idea about: - seo consultant...

    How will business be educated in tactical link building?

    Again, I agree with your strategy. I show them results of my clients who are #1-3 on Google - endlessly. They get excited and ask how I can do that for them. I say you have to get involved and provide me with regular press releases and articles relevent to your industry and location. The eyes...
