Yahoo CEO the next task comparable to Obama

Yahoo's board of directors announced Monday that once to find a successor, Jerry Yang will resign from his current post as chief executive officer (CEO) post. Some analysts pointed out that this Tuesday, no matter who is Jerry Yang took over the location of his (her) to act as the role of the United States with the next president is quite similar to Barack Obama - took over cleaning up the mess, it will have settled down.


Analysts said that no matter who the next Yahoo as CEO, Yahoo will need to consider the sale of some non-core assets in order to make Yahoo the "traveling light" and the network core advertising business with Google and other social media site for a high - Next.


In May this year, Jerry Yang rejected Microsoft's February 1 this year, is put forward a request to buy Yahoo. On November 5 this year, Google announced the initiative to give up with Yahoo's advertising network, so that in the short term to enhance Jerry Yang, Yahoo's advertising revenue completely dashed hopes. In this case, Jerry Yang had long ago been forced to reconsider the request of the Microsoft acquisition of Yahoo, Jerry Yang, fully reflects the indecisive character.


U.S. well-known market research company Gartner analyst Andrew Frank said: "Jerry Yang, Yahoo announced that the outgoing board of directors, is tantamount to the outside world to issue such a signal: Yahoo needed a more decisive action to those who led the company to move forward in order to Yahoo regain self-confidence. "Frank also believes that his successor Jerry Yang, the outside world must be convinced that Yahoo can work out an effective mode of the market and be able to resolutely implement.

"


Packard said that in addition to display advertising, Yahoo's search business must attach importance to the future; as text search ads more targeted in order to be able to make Yahoo the overall advertising revenue growth, "we must clarify the text of the Yahoo search ads with display ads between Difference between the text and search advertising business turnaround. Yahoo came to power after the next CEO, the outside world must be convinced that Yahoo have the ability to search the text of a substantial increase in advertising revenue. "


Obama comparable to the heavy responsibility

Although the Yahoo brand awareness high, the asset's performance, but left to the emergence of Yahoo's new CEO Room for mistakes but not many. "


Stirling also said that most of the general staff of Yahoo's state of mind "has been insensitive," Yahoo's new CEO, after coming to power, first of all, employees need to "boost the morale", and employees of the trust, "only with their full staff Recognition, even if Yahoo's new CEO announced lay-offs and business restructuring measures will be approved by the vast majority of ordinary employees. Only in this way, employees will be on Yahoo's prospects. "

Microsoft will provide free anti-virus software "Morro"

Microsoft said PC users will provide free anti-virus software, a move likely to independent software vendors pose new security challenges.

Microsoft said it plans to launch the second half of next year's Morro security software, designed to remind the more computer users to protect themselves from spyware, viruses and other malicious software attacks.



Investigation revealed that 65-70 percent of the users are not using the latest security software to protect their computers.

Microsoft's online services and departments in charge of Windows product management said Amy Barzdukas, in accordance with the design, Morro of the system can meet the minimum requirements, even less computing power can also run on a computer. Morro will be replaced by another security software, Microsoft Windows Live OneCare, Microsoft next year will be June 30 to stop Windows Live OneCare retail sales, the current annual cost of services for 49.95 U.S. dollars.

Microsoft in turn to provide free security software may Symantec, McAfee and other security fee of independent software vendors and cause trouble. Amy Barzdukas said many loyal customers will continue to use other security software vendors, and Microsoft hopes to attract those who have not used other products users. She said Microsoft is concerned about how to better protect consumers

Internet Space

U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced today that the first time scientists imitate the space of the Internet communications network. NASA "Jet Propulsion Laboratory" (JPL) engineers use of "tolerance intermittent communication network" (DTN) software, 20,000,000 miles away from Earth and space probes back and forth between the transfer of dozens of pieces of space images.

U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is responsible for Outer Space Network in charge of research Adrian Hooke, said: "This is the performance of building a sound first step in interplanetary Internet."

Researchers from the start of the month-long experiment DTN, they take shape of the use of "space communications network," twice a week for data transmission. "Outer space communications network" A total of 10 nodes, is a fly in space are the "Deep Impact" probe and the other nine nodes in Pasadena, California, "Jet Propulsion Laboratory," were simulated orbiter, the Mars landing , And the ground control center.

"TCP / IP, the father", Google vice president Vint Cerf and NASA researchers, after 10 years of research, making an agreement DTN software is getting more sophisticated, DTN transmission of information with the widespread use of the Internet's TCP / IP protocol different. Scientists said that in comparison with ordinary Internet, "interplanetary Internet" must be able to withstand space data transmission when the frequency of delays and disruption dropped. For example, when space probes to the planet to run or hit the back of strong solar wind, transmission failures will occur at any time. DTN in the transfer agreement, if the purpose of the path not found, the packet will not be lost, each network node will be maintained until the information with the security transfer to another node, which is similar to the basketball game, players can also pass the ball until Shooting.

From the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration said that in the future will be a series of experiments and software to improve the DTN, a new generation of software DTN planned for the summer of next year the International Space Station. In the next few years, "interplanetary Internet" will be applied to a number of tasks in space, astronauts land on the moon in the future will provide a reliable network communications services.
