Yahoo and Google have a deal

Jun 13th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network, Tech Interest

After all this time, I did not believe a deal with Google would come through, but I am relieved about it. Why? I am not a Yahoo fan. But a big portion of the US has used Yahoo for a lot of services and still does so. 
Microsoft is not the best candidate for a takeover [...]



iPhone 3G, MobileMe and more

Jun 10th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network, GPS Passion, Tech Interest

Yesterday’s keynote by Steve Jobs was very exciting. Somehow Apple always manages to bring the new you think they will, but features are always better than expected, and this time was no exception.
I don’t think we should see the release of the iPhone 3G as simply a successor for the original iPhone. If you have [...]



Window 7 announced, MacOSX 5.3 suspected

May 28th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network, Tech Interest

Apparently it is upgrade-time in operating system country: Windows 7 is announced and demoed at a conference in Caliornia by Steve and Bill. As Microsoft has a habit of doubling the required specs each time a new version of its operating system, I wonder what we need to run Windows 7, a supercomputer or mainframe [...]



Fone+

May 10th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Tech Interest

Usually I am not positive about most things concerning Microsoft. But even that company sometimes comes up with smart ideas. One of those is Fone+. This project is an initiative to use smartphones running windows as computers by using special docking stations that will allow for a screen, keyboard and rat(mouse) to be connected. The [...]



Microsoft will send a free parasite

May 8th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network

Although Microsoft claims to have said goodbye to takeovers, latest rumor around the Redmond mogul is a possible interest in Facebook. Oh my god. In order to prevent damage to my reputation and career, I hurried over to the facebook site to remove my account, but I guess I’m too late:

Yeah, sure.
As not much of [...]



Microsoft and Yahoo’s shareholders show some sweet love

May 7th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network

Where Yahoo (the company) doesn’t want to have anything to do with Microsoft (who blames ‘em), the shareholders come in. Why? For the money obviously. I kinda suspected this was going to happen.

Probably even the rumors about Steve Ballmer leaving are not true, damn. So now it is a matter of time before Yahoo mail [...]



MS versus Yahoo: What happens next?

May 5th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network

I don’t have to go into specifics as we all know that Microsoft has cancelled it’s bid on Yahoo. What we don’t know is why.
Nobody has the inside intel from either MS or Yahoo, but what we do know is this. Yahoo’s stock will take a beating when the markets open, resulting in a much [...]



What does the future hold for Yahoo?

Apr 29th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Tech Interest

Only a few days back, the deadline MS put on the Yahoo! bid passed. MS outed several threats towards Yahoo last week, but no action followed. With the current rumor from Yahoo! wanting to turn into a social network, a smart move in my opinion, and the apparently ongoing talks to Newscorp about a possible [...]
