Will Apple Fall Again, Will History Repeat ?

Way back in 80’s when Xerox engineers came up with their ingenious Mouse and window based Operating System. The Xerox Boss laughed and said what do you think, we are going to sell mouse and put the project on scrap.

Young Engineers thronged to the Xerox center to study the Alto and Steve Jobs gave a commercial hit with the Mouse and GUI based or Window based Operating System to the world.

When all was going well ,Microsoft came in to the play , they developed (they indeed screwed Apple over icons and Dialog patent) a GUI operating system called Windows.

Stop Stop , this is a very old history, why we should talk about this now.

Because the war is out again, indeed in the same style. that time it was PC and this time it was Mobile platform

Then

Microsoft created Windows Operating System and distributed to multiple Hardware Vendors and that indeed cost very badly to Apple, Still now they are not out of it. The Status quo has changed from then.

Now

Google has created a open source Operating System Android OS (decent copy cat of iOS) and doing the same, its distributing the Mobile Operating System to various hardware vendors . Apple is still going with its Hardware + Software Bounded Model, which has already cost them the huge PC market.

Now to more foray Microsoft has launched its new Mobile Operating System, which means they also providing the software to multiple hardware.

New Mobile OS are all set to come from Nokia + Intel called MeeGo, so the race is heating up.

Now if you take the stats , Once Apple iPhone has no competitor but now Google’s Android is capturing the smartphone market.

Now the Big Question is will Apple release iOS for other hardware ?

For me this is a simple question but for the company its a huge strategy shift, that will change the whole stuff.

But Apple has won our hearts with its cool creation iphone(same way they won with MAC long back). Will the History Repeats????…..

5 Dead Services of Google

1. Google Wave

The Uber cool hyped collaboration tool was finally dead. Google has very recently told they will stop all the future development of Google Wave.
Purpose of Creation:  A Web app for real time communication and collaboration
Reason for Failure: Too many options that confused the users, ultimately led to its failure

2. Google Video

It was actually started before youtube surfaced in Internet , Google video could never reach the popularity of iFlims or Youtube. After acquisition of youtube, Google’s attempt to change youtube as google video was a flopshow, they retained youtube and dropped Google Video

In a recent statement Google admitted that maintaining Youtube was costly for the company , hence we are seeing some pricing for the videos

3. Google NoteBook

The Idea was to take notes while we are browsing, it was integrated with Google Toolbar too, but the service did not go well, Google has stopped  developing it but still supports the old users. But how long

4. Google Answers

Google launched this service against Yahoo answers , but things did not go as planned, it literally failed, now its officially retired , look the Google’s statement
Google Answers is no longer accepting questions.
We’re sorry, but Google Answers has been retired, and is no longer accepting new questions.
Search or browse the existing Google Answers index by using the search box above or the category links below.

5. Other Unknown Services

Jaiku – it’s a micro blogging platform same as twitter, but it never went up as twitter. Google has officially stopped development but its given as open source for others to maintain the same

DogeBall – This service was replaced as Google latitude , it’s a location based service. User can text about their location and find location and friends.

Google Mashup Editor – Not much information is available for this, it was said to be a place where developers can test their code.

Google Lively – it’s a really cool social networking which has ability to create avatars, your own house, even space station , chat with friends, I guess something like virtual reality but it never went up and they have closed the service.

Future Services to Die (All My opinion only)
Orkut

• Google Buzz
• Google Calendar
• Google Alert

Feel Free to tell about others. What ever even Microsoft had great flops like Microsoft BOB, Vista etc..

People’s Choice : Blogspot too :(

Look What’s India Searching the Most

 

Is Google Image Search Reliable ?

The Much Hyped Apple Ipad is out, lets try to get some picture of Apple Ipad using the famous Google / Bing and Yahoo Search

Search Keyword : Ipad

Google

Where is the Apple Ipad Image no way Google Images has failed us. Let try our hand on

Bing

Not So bad but it too failed to get the desired image results

Ok I am tired of this I am going to call my old friend Yahoo, lets check whether Yahoo can deliver

Yahoo

To my surprise its giving the latest ipad images with cache day also and its still able to provide the exact ipad pictures in next pages too

So the winner is our old Yahoo :) Google and Bing need to catch up with your Search bots they are showing the very old images.

So guys if you are searching for some images in Google please don’t think you cannot get else where. Google Image search was not that good, same goes with Bing and try Yahoo also.

Please always try various options rather than dying with one

Unknown Cool Google Services

We are all aware that Google has some cool services which starts from Search Engine, Gmail, GTalk , Google Earth , Google Map and the recently launched Google Buzz etc. But still there are some cool features that is not so famous lets see them

Google News TimeLine

This project his hidden under the sleeves of Google Labs, its main feature is to give Head lines of all news for a particular time line (per recent week). You can search your desired content and Google News Line will pull up the recent headlines and populate for you in date wise. So its a one shot news preview.

Google Patents Search

Are you a inventor or currently programming your own software algorithm, you can search whether the same has been already patented or already the technology has been invented. This site search through indexed patents registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Google Image Swirl

This one is hell a Cool Feature guys we have super cool feature called Google Similar Images. This feature is now graduated to Google Image search. Google Similar image will give result set of similar images but Image Swirl goes way a head and gives us a superb user interface of images and its sub groups

First the images gives stacked search images then clicking on the images gives us the one shot grouping view
