Installing Mac OS X Leopard on Intel pc
It was quite a while ago when i first heard that you can install Mac OS on you windows based pc but at that time it was very hectic plus difficult to install due to my computer requirements not matching the descriptions provided by users.
And finally i installed it after so many years later when that techno experiments sparked my brains to do it this time. Using so many different version of Mac OS available on-line, probably the most successful that i used was iPC 10.5.6.
Vmware 7 is pretty good and simple in using and i must appreciate all those users who have done so much work in cracking and developing simple methods.
There are other ways and they are pretty good too. Just one thing to remember, your processor should support virtualization technology (VT-x). I had loads of problem in the start but now its a piece of cake 
If you have any issues, there are numerous blogs and users who have dedicated their efforts towards this project.

Glympse™ : Share Your Where, for a specified period of time
Glympse is essentially just another location based service with a nice twist. It makes sharing location dead simple and offers decent “control” on sharing too. I am using the iPhone app for the past week and I find it a useful addition. You can download the app from iTunes here.
This app also available on Android Market as well as Windows® Marketplace. I have added some screen shots , the UI is simple and makes location sharing real easy.

So Microsoft & Yahoo get together in search for real- updated
just finished writing about the deal and bingo the tweet from bing announces it officially via tweet cute ain’t it.
They announcement emphasizes on choice, value & innovation – hardly any one can disagree with that.
Yahoo! and Microsoft announced an agreement that will improve the Web search experience for users and advertisers, and deliver sustained innovation to the industry. In simple terms, Microsoft will now power Yahoo! search while Yahoo! will become the exclusive worldwide relationship sales force for both companies’ premium search advertisers
Here are some details:
The term of the agreement is 10 years;
Microsoft will acquire an exclusive 10 year license to Yahoo!’s core search technologies, and Microsoft will have the ability to integrate Yahoo! search technologies into its existing web search platforms;
Microsoft’s Bing will be the exclusive algorithmic search and paid search platform for Yahoo! sites. Yahoo! will continue to use its technology and data in other areas of its business such as enhancing display advertising technology.
Yahoo! will become the exclusive worldwide relationship sales force for both companies’ premium search advertisers. Self-serve advertising for both companies will be fulfilled by Microsoft’s AdCenter platform, and prices for all search ads will continue to be set by AdCenter’s automated auction process
Each company will maintain its own separate display advertising business and sales force.
Yahoo! will innovate and “own” the user experience on Yahoo! properties, including the user experience for search, even though it will be powered by Microsoft technology.
Microsoft will compensate Yahoo! through a revenue sharing agreement on traffic generated on Yahoo!’s network of both owned and operated (O&O) and affiliate sites.
- Microsoft will pay traffic acquisition costs (TAC) to Yahoo! at an initial rate of 88% of search revenue generated on Yahoo!’s O&O sites during the first 5 years of the agreement.
- Yahoo! will continue to syndicate its existing search affiliate partnerships.
Microsoft will guarantee Yahoo!’s O&O revenue per search (RPS) in each country for the first 18 months following initial implementation in that country.
At full implementation (expected to occur within 24 months following regulatory approval), Yahoo! estimates, based on current levels of revenue and current operating expenses, that this agreement will provide a benefit to annual GAAP operating income of approximately $500 million and capital expenditure savings of approximately $200 million. Yahoo! also estimates that this agreement will provide a benefit to annual operating cash flow of approximately $275 million.
The agreement protects consumer privacy by limiting the data shared between the companies to the minimum necessary to operate and improve the combined search platform, and restricts the use of search data shared between the companies. The agreement maintains the industry-leading privacy practices that each company follows today.

Microsoft & Yahoo search deal in place – almost
This is going to be interesting to watch as they they take on Google for the market share. Since Bing has already making sense so the market is likely to respond positively to the news, i hope. For the likely terms of the deal, read Michael’s post at TC.
Though i don’t have any dislikes when it comes to using Google Search however Bing has impressed me so far thus i expect this to deal to head in the right direction!
