He pointed out that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission agreed that Google in search advertising dominates: "The Government competition authorities are increasingly concerned about Google in search and online advertising's growing influence."
Google blog post last week revealed that the European Commission has on three European sites of its lawsuit filed by a preliminary question. The three European sites, there is a Microsoft's online shopping portals in Germany Ciao.de, the other two were British and the French parity Services website Foundem legal search engine ejustice.fr.
Microsoft and Google issued a blog post to clarify their own point of view the move shows that fierce competition from the two sides had risen to public policy level, the two companies are also lobbying the U.S. government and the European Union, hoping to adjust according to their own interests, legal and regulatory regulations. Over the years, Microsoft has been stifled because of market dominance by virtue of its competitors to become anti-monopoly goals, in December last year, Microsoft reached a settlement with the European Union, ending a long-running antitrust suit. In the United States, Microsoft is still in operation with the U.S. Department of Justice signed a settlement agreement under constraints. But now, Google is in the global anti-monopoly investigation into more than.
Microsoft said Friday in a blog article, in recent months has been with Yahoo's search deal with the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission had met the two regulatory bodies have approved the transaction unconditionally. Hainer said: "As expected the outside world, regulatory agencies a great deal of competition between Microsoft and Google the problem." He said, Microsoft set out a number of regulatory structure to the Google way of doing business, "Google's practices may damage the search and online advertising market, publishers, advertisers and competing interests. "
Google declined to Microsoft Friday to comment on his blog. Early last week, Google said that with the continuous increase in the size of its own, is bound to face more and more questioned. The company's senior competition counsel Julia Holtz said: "When a company is bound to grow when you face such a review, but Google has been working to ensure the adoption of technological innovation and great products to be successful, rather than by virtue of restrictions on our users or advertisers, as well as artificial barriers to entry.

Microsoft Mobile Internet sector has been pressed Google
With the development of networks, mobile Internet is becoming the trend of the future network development. Latest research report that with the growing 3G network construction and investment continued into the sound, the global market by 2010, mobile Internet will become increasingly fierce competition in the industry, the new vendors to join the growing chain makes perfect. In order to seize opportunities, as a global IT giant Microsoft, Google and its competitors, the recent fighting in this area may break out.
A typical representative of the mobile Internet field - the field of mobile phone operating system. Microsoft said they will be charged Windows Phone 7 Series mobile phone operating system software, a small fee, but it did not disclose all the details of the operating system, but declared that license fee is not just limited to the system itself, built-in applications such as Word, Excel and other software as maintenance costs were included. While Microsoft has never officially announced that sales volume, before the release Ballmer did not mention that it will not be free.
Analysts predicted that Microsoft's mobile operating system on each mobile phone license cost about 8-15 dollars, which will lead to manufacturers increased production costs, in the Nexus One Google has launched mobile phone, and stick to its mobile phone operating system developed by Google Android completely free of charge, as a so far not released its own mobile phone hardware products, Microsoft is a party to insist on charging is not favorable.
Microsoft is the world's one of the most profitable software companies over the years profits were mainly concentrated in the Microsoft Windows, Office and server three major sectors, which is why Google to challenge Microsoft's core business reasons. Google released Google Docs were challenges Office, Chrome OS operating system, challenge Windows. It is reported that if nothing unexpected happens, Google will be in March this year launched a new online business software store, provide enterprise customers, including Office software, including online features, this will further stick to the invasion of Microsoft's Office business software site. There are approximately 20 million users to Google's online software services, but Microsoft Office there were 500 million paid subscribers.
In this case, Microsoft has aimed at it with Google co-partners, competitors and new Apple products - iPad, Microsoft revealed that this year will launch Apple's iPad may use Office productivity software. WindowsBU Microsoft senior product manager Mike Tedesco, said: "Yes, we are planning for the launch of several new software platform for iPad. But since Apple only recently demonstrated its iPad foreign product, so I now can not reveal our new software For more information, can only say that iPad users will be able to spend our Office software. "
Analysts believe that if the Office Login iPad platform, iPad will no doubt be even more powerful. This will attract more iPad for Apple users. Prior to Mac computers to support Windows operating system, Apple has brought on a lot of new users. The depth of cooperation between Microsoft and Apple is undoubtedly a win-win approach. Although we have not received detailed information, but Microsoft officials, this would then allow us to re-ignited in the App Store, see the Microsoft Word and Powerpoint software, hope.
Of course, also possible that Apple will refuse to Google co-operation because there is similar to Apple's own office software - Apple's iWork.

England was found by magnetic resonance imaging to communicate with vegetative
Research results shocked the world
Thus researchers believe that the patient is in a "deep sleep state" can not only hear the questions, but also through the Mind "talk." Since this is the world's first scientists and "permanent vegetative state" to the success of "talk", the research results were announced, he shocked the international medical community!
Experts point out that a vegetative state, once it has had "communication skills", they will be able to "request" to ease the pain of treatment, or to end their lives ahead of their own clearly stated wishes. The research project team leader, University of Cambridge scientists in the brain, Dr. Adrian Owen, said: "When he saw that he could answer our questions, we are indeed very shocking! This is not just a simple examination or test The most important thing is the first time it provides a way to enable the patient to convey their thoughts to the outside world! Now, through this technology, and the drain can finally take the initiative through self-consciousness to choose their destiny. "
20% of the vegetable will be able to wake up?
Experts said the study results will bring a lot of dramatic changes, especially for "vegetable" consciousness classification. Prior to this, a lot of the patients who entered a vegetative state have been forced to implement the euthanasia. However, in a research report, Dr. Owen emergence to prove that 20% of the vegetative state can wake up and eventually through some therapy, but a matter of time. In fact, the vegetable of the unheard-of countries around the world wakes up when there have been reports compelling evidence that some vegetables can be treated. Experts pointed out that although the current situation, magnetic resonance imaging scans are still very expensive, but the near future, as computer applications, it will help doctors and patients to communicate to carry out appropriate treatment and medication adjustments. University of New York neurology expert, Dr. Nicholas Sixi Fu insists that: "This outcome will change everything! Especially for accurate assessment of treatment effect will have very far-reaching!"
It is learned that this major breakthrough for the "vegetable" epoch-making significance of the treatment, but also caused a fierce ethical debate, namely, how to define the criteria for suspension of vegetative life.
