Google In Final Negotiations To Acquire Digg

Posted By:  hamesh @ Yesterday, 10:49 PM
Google’s on and off negotiations with Digg have been back on in a big way for the last six weeks, we’ve heard from multiple sources inside of Google, and the two companies are close to a deal that will bring Digg under the Google News property. The acquisition price is in the $200 million range, says one source.

TechCrunch first wrote about the Google-Digg negotiations in March. Despite a vigorous denial by Digg CEO Jay Adelson the negotiations continued, although Google’s Marissa Mayer reportedly cooled on the company for a period of time.

The companies are now in final negotiations according to our sources, although it could be a couple of weeks before it closes. And while the major deal points have been agreed on, the acquisition could still fall apart. Microsoft, which was previously interested in the company, may be willing to step back in at a much lower price.

Microsoft Starts Stalking AOL Search

Posted By:  hamesh @ Yesterday, 06:37 PM
Microsoft has started talks with Time Warner to buy its AOL subsidiary. AOL, formerly America Online, has emerged as an alternative for the software giant which, in results reported last week, recorded a net profit of £2.2bn in April-to-June but lost around £445m from its online advertising division. Silicon Valley insider Henry Blodget said a team from Time Warner/AOL met executives at Microsoft's Seattle headquarters last Tuesday. "The two have talked many times before. But this is reportedly the closest the companies have come to a deal so far," said Blodget. "It sounds as though Microsoft is now working more diligently on a Plan B."

Facebook Gets a "Facelift"

Posted By:  hamesh @ Yesterday, 06:43 PM
Facebook today released a new, cleaner and simpler design, along with the opportunity for users to preview and test the next-generation features and functionality. The company is inviting people to use the new design and try out the improved features by navigating back and forth between the new and current versions of the site. Access to the new design will be limited at first and gradually become available to all of Facebook's more than 80 million users over the coming days. The company has been developing the new design since early this year. Over the past six months, more than 100,000 Facebook users offered constructive suggestions on the layout and features, many of which were included in the final version.

"We've made the changes rolling out today in order to highlight the most recent and relevant information that users value, give users even more control and ownership over their profiles and simplify the user experience," said Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. "Facebook's new design makes it a lot easier for users to share information, and we encourage them to check it out."

Dell's Windows Vista Dock!

Posted By:  hamesh @ Yesterday, 09:49 AM
Posted by: Liskiller | Posted in: Widgets/Gadgets & Desktop apps

Dell is going to include a dock in it's new laptops including XPS M1330 and 1530. The dock is actually made by Stardock and licensed to Dell. A Gizmodo's editor posted a review of this dock and called it pretty but lifeless. He actually compared it directly to OS X's dock and expected too much like bouncing of AIM icon when a new message arrives.

Posted by: SharmanNet | Posted in: Windows Vista

Windows Search 4.0 (released last month) lets you perform an instant search of your computer. Windows Search 4.0 helps you find and preview documents, e-mail messages, music files, photos, and other items on the computer. The advantage over Vista's built-in search function is one of performance. The structure of the search index was completely redesigned to speed up locating items on the hard drive and networked PCs.

Yahoo, Icahn Settle; Microsoft Deal Seen Adrift

Posted By:  hamesh @ Yesterday, 04:06 AM
Yahoo Inc. will appoint activist investor Carl Icahn and two of his nominees to its board, defusing a proxy battle showdown and making an immediate deal with Microsoft Corp. less likely. The settlement with Icahn, announced Monday, came just 11 days before Yahoo's Aug. 1 annual shareholders meeting. Icahn had originally sought to replace the entire board with his own nominees and oust Yahoo Chief Executive Jerry Yang.

But Icahn's campaign appeared to have failed to win backing from key shareholders such as Legg Mason fund manager Bill Miller, who said Friday that he would support Yahoo's board. Legg owned 4.4 percent of Yahoo, according to recent filings. Icahn failed to convince many investors that if he had won control of Yahoo at the upcoming annual meeting, that he had any alternative for turning the business around, other than to sell it in part or in whole to Microsoft.

AMD Will Pass on 'Netbooks' for Now

Posted By:  hamesh @ Yesterday, 04:12 AM
AMD Chief Marketing Officer Nigel Dessau says AMD will pass on the low-cost notebook or netbook market for now, although Web sites are offering interesting details about a low-cost AMD notebook chip. Dessau is also looking to strengthen AMD's Opteron brand after problems with the quad-core version of the processor.

Advanced Micro Devices is taking a pass on the low-cost notebook market for now, but new marketing chief Nigel Dessau says the chip maker will continue to watch the so-called "netbook" space as it continues to develop. Dessau, who took over as AMD's senior vice president and chief marketing office in March, said in a telephone interview AMD is interested in how the low-cost notebook market will develop, but has no immediate plans to offer specific processors for these laptops.

Details of major Internet flaw posted by accident

Posted By:  hamesh @ Yesterday, 04:15 AM
A computer security company on Monday inadvertently published details of a major flaw in the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS) several weeks before they were due to be disclosed. The flaw was discovered several months ago by IOActive researcher Dan Kaminsky, who worked through the early part of this year with Internet software vendors such as Microsoft, Cisco, and the Internet Systems Consortium to patch the issue.

The companies released a fix for the bug two weeks ago and encouraged corporate users and Internet service providers to patch their DNS systems as soon as possible. Although the problem could affect some home users, it is not considered to be a major issue for consumers, according to Kaminsky. At the time he announced the flaw, Kaminsky asked members of the security research community to hold off on public speculation about its precise nature in order to give users time to patch their systems. Kaminsky had planned to disclose details of the flaw during a presentation at the Black Hat security conference set for Aug. 6.
