It's about time to complete the search transaction between Microsoft and Yahoo. This will provide a competitive search against Google. I hope publishers will benefits to the partnerships of Microsoft and Yahoo. As publisher, we now have alternative source of income between Google Adsense and Yahoo Publishers/Microsoft Ad Center.

"Microsoft and Yahoo officially inked on July 29 the search ad deal everyone's been talking about: Microsoft agreed to power Yahoo's search engine, and Yahoo agreed to become the exclusive worldwide relationship sales force for both companies' search advertisers.

coming 18 months after Microsoft failed to buy Yahoo for $44.6 billion, has a duration of 10 years, during which the Microhoo combination will be working feverishly to chip away at search engine giant Google's 65 percent market share.

Microsoft and Yahoo hold 8.4 percent and 19.6 percent of the market, respectively; together, they believe closing the gap will make them a worthy adversary of Google." (2009, eweek.com)

If you after for traffic only, it is not worth it to snap a .CM domain name besides the high cost of maintenance. Though if you want to protect your own trademark, then go ahead.

"Trademark Attorneys Warn Companies About the Upcoming .CM Cybersquatting Possibilities.

In light of recent announcements regarding Cameroon's country code Top-Level Domain, .CM, being opened to public registration, Tresa Baldas reports on Law.com: "Trademark attorneys are warning companies about a new target for cybersquatters known as '.cm,' which is the country code—or top level domain—for the West African nation of Cameroon. The dot-cm domain is a hot target for scammers, they say, due to 'cm' being a common typographical error for 'com' in the popular dot-com domain. Attorneys say this is significant to brand owners because Internet users searching for brand owners' Web sites frequently mistype dot-com as dot-cm and wind up on a bogus site. Not only is Web traffic lost, they say, but a brand name can get diluted or tainted along the way." (2009, CirceID)

A friend is asking about what happened to this incident so I've searched the Internet and get some information. Here's what I've got.

This is alarming and I would like to inform our readers if you manage your domain name for personal or business use. Please call your registrar or email customer service, ask them to lock your domain name and not to transfer without your approval. This is added task from locked domains and changing your account password regularly. "Weitzman has been in the domain game since 1994 and oldtimers in the industry know him as one of the pioneers in the business. Weitzman is a quiet guy who has never been interested in the spotlight, but as the victim of a major domain hijacking he is speaking up now with the hope that the publicity will lead to the return of his domains and prevent problems for others who might unknowingly buy the stolen names and lose their investment. Weitzman is also trying to find out how the theft happened and he believes the break-in could have occurred as high as the registry level at Verisign." (2009, DNJournal.com)

A friend of mine is asking on how to search his local drive folders, files and specific "string" text. My quick answer is to use the built-in folder search via Windows Explorer.
"Windows Search gives you far more control over which files and folders you want to index. While Google Desktop says that "all fixed drives" are indexed by default, Windows will only index drives that you select. While this means Google Desktop is easier to setup, it also means that you wind up with a larger index file if you have hard drives and folders that you don't really need indexed.

On our test machine, Google Desktop indexed over 270,000 files, while Windows Search indexed 65,000. Google Desktop's index files took up about 1.7GB, while Windows Search used just 374MB. Advantage: Windows Search." (2009, Downloadsquard.com)

This is a very interesting article to read if you are a publisher or a blogger. Simply understanding the revenue sharing you get from your current Ad Network will help you realize to step-up and re-organize to bring more "bucks" to your pocket. Enjoy reading."Competing for Scraps:
First, it is important to understand that the revenue distribution among publishers is an extremely non-linear curve. The top 10 publishers in the U.S. capture more than 70% of every online advertising dollar, and the top 50 publishers capture a whopping 91% of all online advertising dollars.

As for the other 9%? There are estimated to be more than 250,000 publishers using Google AdSense alone.

The long tail is very long, very crowded, and very poor.

It Only Makes Sense if You Can't Count:
Ad networks now generate a whopping 27-cent average CPM, while premium publishers rake in a $20.17 average CPM through direct sales.

Publishers earn 74.7 times more money per page when they sell ads direct.

The problem is that the average premium publisher only sells 30% of its inventory direct. This leaves every publisher with a critical decision: What to do with the other 70%?

This is where people start to use bad math.

If a publisher sells the entire 70% of remnant inventory through ad networks, that is equivalent to selling 0.93% more inventory direct. Less than 1%!

Figure out how to sell an incremental 0.93% as premium by innovating, not by betting the farm." (2009, Mediapost.com)

I am wondering if I can apply for Trademarks for my "KING.NET" domain name. I am using KING.NET obviously as my main blog, to transact business in various ways from IT Consulting, Domain Name Management, Content Management System (CMS) management, Email Services, provide Howto Guide and other IT-related online services.Domain name owners frequently open their mail to find a letter from a law firm representing a trademark owner. These letters - called “cease and desist letters” by lawyers - demand that the domain name owner stop using the domain name, transfer the domain name to the trademark owner, and provide information about the dates of use and money made from the use of the domain name."

As part of my daily routine is to check out what Google's next generation project. Well I'm happy to see the progress of Google Chrome OS. With open source operating system, your next netbook will be under $200 or maybe under $100 only. Maybe better security against antibot, botnet, bloatwares, and other malware out there. Continue reading."Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we're already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.

Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We're designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work." (2009, googleblog.blogspot.com)

My primary use of iPhone is to read my company emails, personal email address and other emails through Exchange Server 2003/2007 active sync and IMAP (here's my previous post, setting up email in iPhone). The games, music, surfing NET, etc. are just add-on for this cool gadget mobile phone.

Enjoy reading.

UPDATE: I email the support @iphonewinadmin.com regarding WinAdmin security encryption, because of admin privileges concern. Here's the answer direct from Carter.

"Hi Emil,

Thanks for your email. WinAdmin uses 128 bit encryption on the RDP layer. This is also known as 'high security' in windows Server 2003 or 2008. This is a standard encryption protocol for RDP and is currently the highest level of encryption available for an iPhone RDP client. I appreciate your article on WinAdmin and if you have any other questions, I'm here to help.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Carter"

Have a nice July 4th to everyone.

Cheers for now.
