Google Inc., which develops and hosts a number of internet-based services and products, is an American multinational company with an unparalled reputation in the world of internet. For many people across the continents, Google is the only gateway to the endless universe of the internet. Google earns its revenues chiefly from its advertisements over the internet. It is the biggest online advertisement channel in the world. Its Adword program is the most important source of revenue. Larry Page, the 38 year old co-founder of Google founded the company along with Sergey Brin. Larry Page recently became the CEO of Google Inc. replacing Eric Schmidt.
The company is also known for changing its home page of goggle.com quite often. Users also have option to change background image with all of them being submitted by its users. Google is a company with many popular products including its email service Gmail, photo hosting service in the form of Picasa Web Albums, community websites like Orkut, Google +. Google Buzz is a social networking site embedded into Gmail. It has Google Earth as its powerful virtual globe. Another popular application which is meant for instant messaging and VOIP is Google Talk. Google has important operating systems in the form of Android and Google Chrome OS.
Recently Google announced that it will shut down 10 of its products. The list includes search company Aardvark. Google has decided to close a number of products and to merge others into existing products as features. The decision was announced by Google’s senior vice-president for engineering Alan Eustace on the official blog of the company. The decision was taken with a view to enhance the Google experience as a whole for the users. The company is expected to focus more and more on its new venture called Google + with a high possibility of many of the Google Staff being transferred to Google+ which was launched in invitation-only beta and has acquired around 20 million users within three weeks of its launch. According to Eustace Google now wants to focus on building “world changing products with a truly beautiful user experience”.
The decision was seemingly taken on the basis of a 60-word explanation, pitched to Larry Page, by Product Managers undertaking their respective projects.

History in the making
Steve Jobs stepped down from the position of Apple CEO on 24 of August, 2011 on account of his ailing health. He was one of the most admired CEOs of the world with his acceptance being in customers and employees alike. He was the man who saved Apple during 1997 when the latter was on the verge of turning completely bankrupt. He revived the business of Macintosh computer; developed excellent new products like the iPod, iPhone and iPad. Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook was appointed by Steve Jobs as his successor but Apple is faced with a big challenge in that Mr. Jobs had unusual influence on the corporate culture and strategies.
Biz Stone has worked as the creative director of Twitter Inc., the inimitably successful microblogging site with no competition so far. But recently, Stone resigned from that post on account of his decision to join the startup Obvious along with another Twitter co-founder, Evan Williams. However, we do not know much about he company profile of obvious. What Obvious is going to offer remains as big a mystery as whether there is life on moon or not. Steve Blank has defined a startup as “An organization formed to search for repeatable and scalable business model. “In other
And now Yahoo is for sale. Yahoo was once the leading search engine and three biggest competitors Yahoo have been- Google, Facebook and Apple. All three of them have created an environment in which companies like Yahoo are finding it difficult creating a niche for themselves.
Yahoo has simply turned into a laggard in the heavily competitive world of advertisements. Google and Facebook are simply eating Yahoo alive and have created a question of survival for Yahoo It is the time when 17 year history that can be equated to the emergence of the internet, ends. Needless to say that Yahoo couldn’t match the pace of innovation taken up by the companies in question. It is a testing time for Tim Morse who is now the interim CEO of Yahoo. Yahoo’s second-quarter results were its worst since 2005. Carol Bartz, the ex-CEO, proved to be unable in reviving company’s profits and revenues. Everything has worsened since the upsurge of Facebook as an IT company. Other factor that catalyzed the downfall of Yahoo was Google going public in mid-2004. But despite all quandaries being faced by it, Yahoo is the second most popular search engine after Google. Plus, Yahoo remains the fourth most visited website with estimated 590m monthly visitors.

How much do you pay for your clicks?
Google.com shows advertisements on the top of the page while some are able to find place only at the bottom of results pages you find on making a google search. Users are more prone to click the advertisements that come at the top. This service provided by Google to the business world at large is known as Pay Per Click Service. Insurance companies spend maximum on Pay per Click services. Pay Per Click is used in banking, insurance, health services besides many others who benefit from the same. Google earns a great deal of revenue from advertisements. According to an estimate, 97% of Google’s revenue is generated by advertising. And as a matter of fact, Financial sector is the greatest source of revenue for Google.
Insurance industry accounts for as high as 24% of the top 10,000 keywords. For the most competitive keywords, insurance industry pays Google in the tune of $54.91 per click. Loan companies are the second largest source of income for Google by contributing as much as 12.8% of Google’s revenue. $44.28 is the amount Google earns from loan companies for each single click they get on their ads .
Mortgages contribute to 9% of Google’s revenue by paying the latter $47.12 per click. Attorney finds fourth place in the list by paying $ 47.07 per click and thence contributing to 3.6% of Google’s revenue from advertisements. This is followed by Credit companies who pay $36.06 for each single click by their prospective customers. Personal lawyers find sixth place in the series and pay paying $42.51 per click for top keywords. Donation finds seventh place in this list of Google by paying $ 42.02. At eighth place in the series are Hosting companies that have “hosting ms exchange” and “managed web hosting solution” as their top searched keywords. Claims come tenth in the series with keywords like “personal injury claim” and “accident claims no win no fee”.
But why come companies are ready to pay this much amount for single clicks from their prospective customers? The answer is not as hard to find as it may seem: Companies earn like anything for this seemingly undue investment of theirs. So it is always a prudent investment for companies be it multinational companies or domestic companies. Pay Per Click has advantages for companies cutting across industries and sectors. As a matter of fact, the service sector is the biggest beneficiary of Google boom of which Pay Per Click is a part. All due to the fact that conversion rate of the clicks made by individual target customers justifies each single penny spent by companies across the globe. In a nutshell, revenues generated justify investment and that is certainly a big factor behind the success of Pay Per Click.

Intangible world and you
Software development is the art and science of creating software applications that are effective in performing a particular task. Software developers use various kinds of techniques for developing software application. According to Wikipedia-“The term “software development” may be used to refer to the activity of computer programming, which is the process of writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense of the term it includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, ideally in a planned and structured process. Therefore, software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.”
Software development involves coding by the developer in which he may use high/low level languages. High level language includes both object oriented as well as procedure oriented languages. In this advanced era of technology, one can not ignore Marketing and Finance functions. Marketing and Finance are the areas which are sometimes ignored while developing software applications. One has to be in contact with interdisciplinary people for making effective software applications.
Software development involves various stages collectively referred to as the software development lifecycle, or SDLC:
- Market research
- Gathering requirements for the proposed business solution
- Analyzing the problem
- Devising a plan or design for the software-based solution
- Implementation (coding) of the software
- Testing the software
- Deployment
- Maintenance and bug fixing
Software is a big program directed at solving a particular problem. Software Development has to be in tune with the demands of corporate requirements. In other words, software applications can not remain isolated from business and its requirements. SDLC or Software Development Life Cycle has to be followed if you want to develop a particular software application successfully. Software applications can be of many kinds and varieties. One kind of software application is library software. PC Optimization is an important category of software application. And if you are a developer you use a particular language to develop programs and software. Your hardware is like a carcass in the absence of software applications. Technological revolution could not be brought about without the help of software and software applications are the lifeblood of computer system.
Application software is as important as system software. System software acts as an intermediary between hardware and the user. On the other hand, application software acts as a solution to one user problem or the other. For example MS office suite acts as a one stop solution to your business problems. Ms Word acts as a world class word processor. Similarly, MS Excel acts as a commercial spreadsheet application. Apple applications are different as compared to Microsoft applications. Mac system uses different applications when compared to PCs running with Windows based applications. So broadly, we have two kinds of categories of software applications:
Windows based software applications like Adobe Reader, Snagit Editor, MacAfee, etc.
Mac based software applications: ixi software, QuickTime, etc.
Indian software companies have created history in the area of software development. Now we have software companies located not only in metros but also in tier 2 and tier 3 cities.

Yahoo is changing and so is Apple along with many other IT companies across the world. Recent developments have brought about unprecedented changes in the world of software and websites.

Use of xxx is voluntary and is designed to prevent child abuse images and incorporate greater security. Till now cybersquatters have been using xxx domains having names of celebrities including movie stars and politicians across
The new regulations prohibit use of underage sex terms and the names of cities and well known politicians, such as the US president, the British prime minister, and former prime ministers. Still it is unclear how many celebrities are covered by the ban or what the criterion of their inclusion was. But one thing is clear that there would be a rapid take-down process for anyone targeted by xxx cybersquatters.
As an important turnaround in the world of Technology, Carol Bartz was fired from the position of Yahoo Inc’s CEO. CEO Carol Bartz was known for her disciplinarian attitude and firebrand management style. Yahoo Inc. was in fact looking for a turnaround with Carol as the leader of the corporate giant. Yahoo had decided to take on Facebook and Google Inc. under the astute leadership of Carol but perhaps they didn’t get the results expected from Carol. Interestingly, Carol Bartz was informed about the decision by Yahoo chairman over the phone as Carol at that point of time was traveling by a plane.
Carol Bartz had been charged with the responsibility to streamline the vision of the company and to give latter direction amidst tough times. She was appointed as the CEO during January 2009 and since then she has been the cynosure for the company. Yahoo continues to be one of the most popular destinations on the web. The company, however, faced a slight decline in net revenue in the second quarter. Chief Financial Officer Timothy Morse has been appointed new CEO on an interim basis. The company said in a statement that it is on the lookout for a new, permanent CEO.
