Industry wars...

The day when the rumor of the merger between yahoo and MSFT came, the Yahoo stock on NYSE rose by 32%.

Anythings can happen in this world. MSFT + SAP + Yahoo are trying to win the battle against Google.

But Its, not easy for Google. MSFT has a experience of competitors, In the past it has won battles agains IBM, Apple, Netscape etc. Now a new challenge, might be microsoft will come up with a new technology which will dethrone Google.. Already live.com has diverted much of the traffic from Google.

So, In this situation I think we cannot rule out a possible Oracle + Google = OraGoogle merger.
Oracle is currently the second largest software company, and its merger with Google will be a disaster for the Competitors.
If the rumors are true, MSFT and Google are both eying the ERP market. Both of them have already released their beta versions.
So guys get ready for one of the biggest mergers you will find in industry.

Will keep posting the new information on this issue.
Bye tata.. v

Page View's Report..

Interestingly 100 % of the people visiting my blog are from Windows platform...
Hurreyy... Go ahead microsoft..
Just.. Don't buy SAP... ( My job in ORCL will be in danger )
N If u do merge with SAP.. then Oracle and Google will merge leading to end of the road for both SAP and MSFT...


I don't know why these 30% of people use IE? Firefox is the best...
Once, I tried my hands on Apple's Safari. But, I didn't like it.
Firstly the looks are not that superb. And also when ever I tried to save a bookmark the browser crashed.. In all Safari Sux..

Google Spreadsheets Live Data

I didn’t know you can hook up Google’s Q&A feature to a Google Spreadsheet, but you can: the GoogleLookup function “attempts to answer your question using the web, with information about people, places and things, like the population of Japan, the mass of Jupiter, or the place of birth of Abraham Lincoln,” Google’s help entry on the subject says. The syntax is as follows:

=GoogleLookup(“Paraguay"; “internet users”)

... and you can replace the first parameter with other entities, and the second one with other attributes, e.g. “Chicago” and “mayor”, “T-rex” and “weight”, “Stuttgart” and “state”, or “Yahoo” and “CEO” (Google still shows “Terry Semel" for the latter, which goes to show the data isn’t always precise to the day).

You can also automatically attach the first GoogleLookup parameter to another cell. To create the table below, I only entered the name of the famous person, and created a single second cell with the content =GoogleLookup(A2; “date of birth”). I then copied this cell, marked the other cells next to the person names, hit paste, and Google automatically filled the data (you can see a red dot in those cells, and they will also show their web sources when you hover over them or export the table).

View table...

On that note, did Google disable much of its Q&A service? Many things that used to work – like “real name of superman” or “president of USA” – don’t work here anymore...

A related function showing you live Google Finance data is =GoogleFinance(“YHOO"; “volume”) (where “YHOO” and “volume” is replaced with your values, e.g. “GOOG” and “marketcap”).

Indian Media is blind...

In the morning I was skimming through the paper just to notice a news with photo...

The relatives of Sunita Williams celebrate in California.. as she returns safely to earth..
She has never done anything for India. Just to get more opportunities in US she has even put an English name ("Williams"). But Still why Indian Media is crazy for her??
Don't they get any other news..?
Why can't the media understand that there is no loss for these people to portray themselves as Indian for a while..
The same goes with other foreigners like Laxmi Mittal, Jeev Milkha Singh..
Yes I Don't call them NRI's because they are indeed foreigners..

Instead cant the media highlight the success stories within India..

Couple of weeks ago I read a news in TOI, that a Panipuri Vendor funded her wife's education and finally she got a job in Infosys...
This news was found in the Local Page, And Sunita Williams and Laxmi mittal will be found on the front page.. Just because they earn in Millions..

Is It??
Should this continue..?
