From Yahoo.com itself presents an article titled "What our Microsoft Deal Means To You". Posted by another source, one of my favorite news sites, TechCrunch, says this about the following deal:
One of the most apparent facts in the announcement that was
not known beforehand by any blogs or news sites, is the longevity of the
agreement: 10 years, which is like an eternity in the Internet space. Microsoft
will acquire an exclusive 10 year license to Yahoo’s core search technologies,
which is basically the same as saying it just gained unparalleled access to the
blueprint of Yahoo Search, something that can only lead to improvement of its
Bing search engine.
The above is titled "Microsoft-Yahoo Search Deal: The Most Important Facts (and Some Opinions)". Pretty good article about what's to come from both the companies.
Also yesterday I posted something regarding the iPhone. Now, there is news that Forbes.com (yeah, an unlikely source that I would post from, I know) posted an article titled "How To Hijack 'Every iPhone In the World'". It's regarding how on Thursday (tomorrow), two researchers plan to reveal an unpatched iPhone bug that could virally infect phones via SMS (or text messages). Pretty Crazy stuff. I read that if you have an iphone (or any text messaging phone for that matter), and you get a text message with one square character (which on the computer is used to denote characters now used properly, or like copy and pasted text that doesn't translate over), turn your phone off. Turn it back on, then delete it. Or don't touch it at all, I forgot what I read because I'm really hoping not to run into this.
Anyway, I'm going to Battlegrounds, WA today with this guy from work to pick up some books. We're renting a Penske, and hopefully it has AC, because I'm not looking forward to driving an hour and a half in a metal oven.
That's all for now, peace yo
