Rumor that “Google Me” will be competitor to Facebook!

Posted: 29 Jun 2010 04:13 AM PDT


A simple tweet by Digg CEO Kevin Rose that Google was working on “Google Me” a new social network to rival Facebook has set all the theorists to go on overdrive wondering about what Google was planning to do with a new social network. Only a couple of days I wrote about 5 things Google might have got wrong and one of them I included in the post was Orkut. From some comments it seems Orkut is still very much loved by our readers but the point I was making there is Google has little or so social presence even with Orkut.

Former Facebook CTO Adam D’Angelo also confirmed that Google was working on a Social Networking website which was to compete with Facebook.

This would set the cat amongst the pigeons as Facebook and Google rule very different parts of the internet and even thought Facebook is a behemoth when it comes to Social networking it is still not a very profitable company and this is what gives Google the opportunity to build a social networking website ground up rather than just come up with something new but not so useful vis a vis Google Buzz.

There are some obvious advantages of Facebook having competition. Recently most Facebook users were left to feel angry at Facebook’s privacy mistakes but there was not much anyone could do about it as if you quit Facebook there was not much of a competitor. Competition would make Facebook more forthcoming and far more careful with peoples data as they would also risk losing its customers. ;-)

What do you think will Google’s new social networking website be like? Would it succeed or not? Do let me know through your comments.

Leaked Documents of Windows 8

Posted: 28 Jun 2010 11:30 PM PDT


Whenever Apple product is going to launch in Market, there are always rumors fake or leaked images before its launch and now it same goes with Microsoft.

Recently Microsoft Kitchen blog has leaked few images and documents of Windows 8 which are watermarked as "Microsoft Confidential- released to Derek.Goode@hp.com". The images also give a brief about the features of Windows 8.

Here are few features of Windows 8 according to leaked images:

  • Face recognition technique
  • Touch Display
  • Includes Kinnet-like features
  • Automatic shutdown as soon as you move away from your system
  • Easily switch between users, as soon as new user comes in front of camera
  • Supports USB 3 and Bluetooth 3
  • Connect Windows account to Cloud

It seems Microsoft making itself ready for getting into competition with Apple, because the images are titled as "How Apple does it: A virtuous cycle". But I guess, Microsoft has to cross long distance to get in competition with Apple OS.

Check out the following leaked images of Windows 8:

All-Eyes-on-Apple

Windows-8-Facial-Recognition-Login

Windows-8-Machine

Windows-8-Machine-Specifications

There is no official announcement from Microsoft that these slides are real nor there is any mention about release date of Windows 8, so until Microsoft don't announce officially about Windows 8 features and images, enjoy the rumor.
