So, apparently Internet Explorer 8 is available for download, according to my twitter colleagues and a certain Mister Gates.
But don’t search for ‘ie8′ with Google, because you’ll get this:
One half of the screen is a search for news about ie8. The next suggests that I was probably searching for IE7. None of the remaining [...]
Fake Steve Jobs is rather more concise than me:
The Borg-Yahoo merger won’t work. Here’s why. It’s like taking the two guys who finished second and third in a 100-yard dash and tying their legs together and asking for a rematch, believing that now they’ll run faster.
So Microsoft has tendered a bid to buy Yahoo! for $44.6bn.
I understand that Microsoft has to do something to build on its web strategy/presence. No-one uses Live Search, Live Spaces, or any of the rest. (OK. About one percent of people do). To build up any future trade for advertising, web services or development platforms, [...]
If you were a brand manager for an FMCG company - let’s say you look after Bostik, for the sake of argument - what would you be doing when it comes to your online strategy?
Well, you’d probably try to work out how Google works. You want to come top of the search results for [...]
Philipp Lenssen has put together a list of common queries found through Google Suggest, the service that autocompletes your search queries based on popular searches.
Google is pretty good, but I reckon people’s expectations might be a tad too high.

I’m not sure whether the stats prove an uncomplicated victory for social [...]
Sorry about the headline. You may recall that one of the top entries for Martin Luther King Jr. on Google is a hate site. Hopefully, the united power of bloggers can do something about that. (idea found on http://edu.blogs.com)

How do I know? On the 18th of August, I posted a few comments about my web stats and noted that 57% of you used Firefox. At that time, Internet Explorer accounted for about 20% of visitors. Today, I checked again and it’s 39% apiece for both Firefox and IE users.
Incidentally, I also discovered that [...]
Not really Web 2.0 or web-anything, but interesting nonetheless. News on Wednesday that Microsoft is threatening to pull out of China because of human rights’ violations.
The BBC quotes Fred Tipson, MS’ senior policy counsel, who says:
“Things are getting bad… and perhaps we have to look again at our presence there,” he told a conference in [...]
