Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales' open source, human-powered Google killer died a quiet death Tuesday, making Wikia.com the latest object lesson in the futility of trying to unseat Google as the king of search engines.
Even though the site lasted barely a year, Wales should not feel badly about pulling the plug on his ambitious attempt to harness the power of the crowds to take down Google and force search algorithms to become more transparent.
In fact, Wikia even managed to force Google to adopt a Wikia-like feature in November that solicits user opinions on whether search results are relevant.
But, the reality is that no one can kill Google, and its search box is going to rule for many more years. It employs 20,000 of the world's most intelligent people and rakes in billions yearly. It has a squadron of other products from YouTube to Gmail that insinuate the company's technology deep into its users' lives. It runs the net's best data centers, something that any true competitor would need hundreds of millions to come close to matching.
While it may be little comfort, Wikia has well-esteemed neighbors in the search engine graveyard.
Amazon's attempt to build a successful search engine called A9 failed, and its former head Udi Manber is now a vice president at Google. Yahoo, Microsoft and Ask.com all continue to struggle to maintain what's left of the search pie after Google grabs its 60-something percent. Technorati, the blog search engine, has been all but abandoned by web users….

This AMAZING video was first seen at Shijaz’s Blog at:
it is an amazing blog by a very talented Systems Engineer, and this is the most amazing post (although it is just a share from youtube, i also thought it would be selfish not to share it).
NOTE: this video was made by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronman.

After hearing of the thousands (hell, two thousands!) of bug fixes and enhancements that Windows 7 users will be seeing as they make the journey from Beta to Release Candidate, you'd have thought that we'd heard the last of all that for a bit. But not so! It seems that Microsoft's own Engineering Windows 7 blog will be letting the improvements trickle out as they are addressed. So brace yourself for some exciting plot twists, such as improvements to the taskbar thumbnail overflow and various jump lists, the trimming of sound schemes to enhance system performance, and our personal favorite, the addition of multitouch zoom to Windows Explorer. How cool is that?

while installing MS Exchange server 2007 i had the following error message
“Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory:.. etc”
after investigating the problem, seems like the admin account i was using has expired password that need renewal as the group policy stated, and what i had to do, is logoff , and login again, so that windows asks me to change the password and redo installation that moved on smoothly.
Exchange 2007 is up and running.

Another nice feature Gmail integrates in its E-mail client.
after adding chats, emotions, attachment detector. Video chatting is next.
that is not new, but that is innovative ideas for most people where they can access all sorts of communications through one gmail window browser.
