Google Games Bite Newspapers

Newspapers have learned to aggressively optimize their content for Google in its desperation for online advertising. The result of this shift is more traffic- Junky traffic. It was seen that readers tend to spend lots and lots of time on newspaper sites. The readers’ level of engagement has been print journalism's strongest asset online, but the recent trends show that's changing. Nielsen Online published that readers are spending less time on top newspaper websites which denoted six minutes less per month at Washingtonpost.com, one minute less per month at USAToday.com and a minute and a half less per month at NYTimes.com. That is a natural consequence of deriving new traffic growth from a Search Engine Optimization staff, as hearsay anecdotally states that it is happening at many papers. The count of unique users goes up, while the value of each reader for advertisers goes down. And when papers like Huffington Post comes to town with a local section — HuffPo launched in New

How to Remove pc-off.bat from your computer

Last weekend I bumped into a digicam which had a malware in it. The malware like to shut my pc off as soon as I'm trying to access the command prompt. My antivirus was able to detect it, but was unable to delete it from my system. So with a little research I was able to erase it completely from my system! Thank God! I'll share to you this method, hoping it can help you too! This is the symptom of a computer having JBLCF_Scandal.exe virus. The virus comprises of JBLCF_Scandal.exe and pc-off.bat. When you boot your Windows XP in Safe Mode the message appears: "Dont Worry. I will do no harm here" The pc-off.bat contains the syntax like this”C:/path/shutdown -s -f -t 2 -c” which automatically shutdown your computer when you run the cmd.exe. So heres the solution to this problem… just follow these simple steps that will be discussed below. For Manual removal: 1. Upon start up... After OS loading... Go to task manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL then kill (end process) JBLCF_S

Windows 7's Window Sizing is now Available to all Using PowerResizer

If you have heard the power of Windows 7 but you’re still unfortunate to make that switch with a notch of its (windows 7) awesome window docking and resizing features, we recommend that you grab PowerResizer to bring sizing into your current version of Windows. PowerResizer features a variety of features that make window management easier on XP or Vista. There are keyboard shortcuts for a variety of windows movement and resizing tasks.

Also available are keyboard shortcuts for resizing windows to various divisions of the screen size. The feature that really makes PowerResizer stand out is its dynamic resizing. Once you've placed your program windows where you want them, rather than docking and resizing all of them again to change one of them, you can simply start reshaping it and all the others will automatically scale themselves to fit around the window you are

Recession Will Boost Challengers from China and India

From autos to outsourcing, these companies can operate at low cost in tough markets. They're likely to survive the downturn and thrive In what seems like the blink of an eye, companies little known in the U.S. and Europe just a few years ago have become global leaders. Their common attribute is this: They all come from the rapidly developing economies (RDEs) of Asia, Latin America, the Persian Gulf, and Central and Eastern Europe. They are what the Boston Consulting Group calls the "Global Challengers." Some financed their global expansion by borrowing heavily in the years just before the downturn became apparent and now face a day of reckoning. For others, cash-rich or with access to capital through government programs, the recession creates new opportunity. As a general rule, RDE companies with healthy balance sheets and access to capital will fare better than those with heavy debt burdens. Indian outsourcing services should gain, as these companies take advantage of We

Microsoft’s Bing boings into life – early

No, you won’t need to go to Google to find Bing – all you need to do is to visit Bing.com where you’ll find that Bing is now in beta. Although Microsoft wasn’t set to launch Bing into life until June the 3rd, it seems as though someone at Microsoft just couldn’t wait for Bing to start singing its siren song of search. So, while Google may have thought it still had a couple of days up its sleeve to work on whatever plans it had to sting Bing, it looks like Microsoft has danced like a butterfly so it could do some stinging of its own. Finally, the world can now see whether Microsoft has the smarts to make Live, MSN and even Google Search but distant memories, but will the reality be a surge of interest in Bing before the familiar ring and results of Google become too overwhelming? You’ll have to let us know what you think of Bing, dear reader. The big question is… how quickly Google will take some of the elements Bing has brought forward and duplicate them in its own search results? But

Chipmakers Get Tied Up in Home Networking

Chipmakers are spreading their bets around on the three current standards for home-networking—all of which could give way in the end to G.hn. Wireless networking gets all the love in today's mobile world, but inside the home, wires will still play a key role in delivering entertainment and other content. Your set-top box may sport an Ethernet port, but it still connects to the wall via coaxial cable. Wires are a secure, fast, cheap, and existing network inside most homes. The main links around the home are power lines, coaxial cable, copper phone wires or some mix of the three, depending on where in the world a person lives. But the three standards vying for dominance today could gradually give ground to an emerging standard for delivering IP-based services called G.hn. This fall, the electronics industry will finalize a standard called G.hn (already being pushed by the HomeGrid Forum) that will allow chip companies to provide the silicon that can deliver 700-Mbps speeds over pow
