China’s largest Internet portal Sina have replaced Google’s services with its own technology. This is a real setback for Google’s presence in the country.

Google has lost market in China since January last year, when the company that it will not longer agree to censor the content to comply with the Chinese government’s rules. Google have also accused China of blocking the e-mail service Gmail, which, however, is denied by China

Google is one of the few companies that have stood up to China, but according to Google, it is not just China that censor, they claims that more than 40 governments worldwide use of large-scale censorship of information via the Internet.

The war between Adobe (Flash) and Apple, because Apple’s continued refusal to flash in their system, has probably no one miss.
Many have believed and claim that this going to be flash’s death, and Adobe has been fighting for their flash as their program. Adobe flash is the biggest one on the market.

But there are also quite a few, including me, who said that Apple’s refusal to Flash will not have too much significance to flash to be or not be on the Web in coming years. This is because of YouTube video clips, archival work in flash.

But now it’s perhaps over …

Google has announced that all new videos uploaded on YouTube from now will be encoded to the open format Webm. But for YouTube, to konventera all video-clips, that is already on the site, will take time, so flash will still be an important part of YouTube for some time foreward.
Google has also announced that they will end with their own “Google Video” this service never have a real breakthrough. On May 15 they shut down this service.

Browsers like Firefox, Chrome and Opera are already prepared for WebM while Internet Explorer and Safari have to install a plugin to run the video in this format

Computer manufacturer Asus is the company that have uploaded the source code Android Honeycomb, even before Google itself.

Asus has recently launched their new pad, Transformer, and when it made the the source code the Honeycombs kernel available.
On their site, they say that is version V8.2.2.6 and the file is a 97 megabyte zip file. The entire code for Android 3.0, you will not get, but probably enough to interest developer to start developing for other devices than Transformer.

Asus haven’t done anything wrong, they simply followed the rules under the GNU General Public License (GPL), there it actually says that the source code of a product must comply with or be made available.

Google itself has not released the code and the have even delayed the delivery of the operating system to developers. The only thing thatis been around software development kit for Android 3.0 Honeycomb, that has been available since late February.

Nexus S is a clean Android phone without any superimposed interface, and that means that you will get the latest updates first.

Nexus S is very fast, and Android 2.3 it also faster than previous versions. But Nexus S have get strong criticism that it dont have space for a micro-sd card, so for those who buy a Nexus S may simply be content with a built-in memory of 16 gigabytes .

At first glance, Google’s new Chrome 11 appear to function similarly to previous versions: a clean, simple browser that is significantly faster than most competitors.

But under the surface are there some interesting new features. The most intressting features is support HTML5 röstinmatnings API, a demo is available on HTML5 Rocks.

Chrome 11 have also adds support for GPU-accelerated 3D CSS Transforms, which makes it possible to do more complex sites with minimal impact on your CPU usage. It is however surprising that Google is investing in 3D features. Chrome have earlier ther old icons with a flatter, more stylized version. And of course there are the usual pile of bug fixes, performance and other technical optimizations.

This means a dramatic effect on many sites that rely on traffic from Googles search-engine.
Google changes their algorithms all the time to get that the most relevant sites will come top of search results.

Usually it is small changes that few people notice. But this tiome is a much more radical change – according to Google are 12 percent affected of the changes.

The pages that appear to be most affected are so-called content farms* – sites based on content that will draw much traffic from search engines.

Huffington Post and AOL are examples of companies that have been accused of using this tactic.

Lots of people are not happy, and on WebmasterWorlds forum are people express their dissatisfaction over the change, and one disappointed site owner writes “My good. I just lost 40% of my traffic from Google today” .

But not everyone is unhappy with Google’s changes, Google’s algorithms are a zero sum game, and many other sites-owner are happy over this changes.

Chinese authorities block Linkedin as part of the fight against the so-called “jasmine revolution. Users in Beijing who were trying to reach Linkedin was shown an error and Linkedin have confirmed the blockage.

Chinese authorities keep the internet in an iron grip. Politically sensitive content is regularly down and blocked.

I have in a eraly post writing about Googles problem in China, to read about click here.

Recent weeks have become tougher restrictions, as a result of mass protests in the Middle East. And now is anything containing the word Jasmin blocked in the search engines

Previously, both Facebook and Twitter blocked. The entire Internet has also shut down several times in different regions, sometimes for months.

The blocking of Facebook and Twitter have done to national social networks have become increasingly popular. And in the current situation, China has the world’s largest Internet population, 457 million users.

Around the same time he acknowledges Bill Gates’s creation as the main competitor in the foreseeable future.
- At present and for a long time, Microsoft is our main competitor. There is no doubt about it, “says Google’s outgoing CEO Eric Schmidt.

He will soon hand over as CEO to one of Google’s two founders – Larry Page – and himself take a step back from the light as chairman. But at the Mobile World Congress takes Eric Schmidt good time to answer questions from the large public. Perhaps to compensate for its otherwise unusual closed-communication policy.

Eric Schmidt comments on Bill Gates word for for 21 years ago: “Information at your fingertips”.  Was entirely correct. But it has taken this long for technology to get there.
At same time that Eric Schmidt celebrates the visionary genius of Bill Gates and Microsoft he also says that Facebook and Twitter is not a competition to Google and in the same time he praises both Facebook and Twitter for there contributions to social networking.

Then you need to hurry up and post your resume, Google received 75 000 applications in only one week. But then you should have in mind, that Google has gone out with they need to employed 6000 people during the year and with their strong brand name is it not to surprising.

But it is certainly the largest number of candidates  that had search job on Google since May 2007. In 2010 Google hired 4500 people and 2007 6 300th
In a blog post said Alan Eustace, research manager at Google, that 2011 will be the year when they will hire more employers.

According to the Financial Times, Google now looking for people with an entrepreneurial sense, instead of just really smart people.

Would you be one of those Google show interest in it is no guarantee that you will get the job. you can expect to make up to twelve interviews… So good luck to everybody
