Yahoo plans to reject Microsofts bid. Microsofts bid was $31 per share, some hours ago Jerry Yang said that they want at least $40 per share. That will increase the bid with $12 billions. I wonder if Microsoft is ready to go that far. $56.6 billions is a lot of money.

I’ll write as fast as I know more about this. Stay tuned!

In the new update for FireFox (was released on 8th Feb 2008) 10 security bugs were fixed. The version is 2.0.0.12 and if you haven’t upgraded yet I recommend you to do that.

Yahoo’s managing director Jerry Yang have been looking for any way around Macrosofts bid. Google has also tried to find a way around this.
One solution would be that Yahoo sell their search engine to Google. But the analytics says that it wouldn’t pass the checks. I hope it will…
The bosses at both Google and Yahoo will start to negotiate very soon.

I just “installed” permalinks on my blog In hope of getting more pages indexed on search engines

I will teach you how you can get nice links to your blog posts.
The ugly: ?p=6
The nice: /category/post-name/

If you use “the nice one” search engines like google and yahoo will index more pages from your domain. It’s a good SEO update

This is how you do to “install” it.
Login to your wp-admin. Options -> Permalinks
Now you get some different link types. Go to the one that says custom. In custom structure add: /%category%/%postname%/

It’s very easy, hope it helped you.

The service pack 1 for Vista has leaked out. Yesterday it came up on TPB, and they say it works fine. Windows Server 2008 has also been leaked out on the net. I don’t think it’s too smart of Microsoft to send it out to 15,000 companies to test it. Don’t they understand that someone will leak it?? Think outside the box? There’s no honesty anymore, but I don’t think Microsoft knows that yet. Maybe someone should tell Gates??

Enough shit about Microsoft now… Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 will have the legal release in March. A test version of XP Service Pack 3 has also been released. The real release of it will come under the first half of 2008.

Microsoft has made 44,6 billion dollar bid on Yahoo. It’s two of the biggest companies in the world.
I’m one of these Microsoft haters, I don’t understand why they should own everything :(.
On Friday night Googles managing director Eric Schmidt called Yahoo and offered to help them to get away from Microsoft. It’s a good solution.
If anyone should buy Yahoo it’s Google. They can make things that work, Microsoft can’t.

“Could Microsoft now attempt to exert the same sort of inappropriate and illegal influence over the Internet that it did with the PC?”

That’s written on Googles official blog. If Microsoft buy Yahoo the whole web can change, that’s not good for us freelancers :/.

Google controls around 65% of the search marketing in USA and 85% in Europe. Microsoft and Yahoo would be much smaller, 30% in USA and 10%. But that is still much and would affect most of the things that’s going on on the web. It would be a big difference for the search marketing.

I hope Microsoft won’t buy Yahoo. We’ll see in a few days what will happen…

Stay tuned for more information,
