New collabration of google and yahoo for adsense.

Technology field is diversing so fast and critical that its impossible to do all by one. So now a days ots a common era of collabration.
When Microsoft’s offer to acquire Yahoo was made public, Google stated it would be willing to help Yahoo fend off the acquisition in anyway it could. It’s now or never.

Yahoo is talking with Google about having them handle some of the advertisements on its search pages, The Wall Street Journal reports. This partnership is said to be a test for what could become a larger one — which reads a lot like: A test, small enough to make sure the government doesn’t get involved with its antitrust hounds, but with enough promise to allow Yahoo to fend off Microsoft.

Yahoo has been in talks with several other companies about potential partnerships that would allow it to placate the shareholders clamoring for the company to accept Microsoft’s bid, but none of those discussion have proven fruitful. Yahoo has also stated that its financial outlook for the future is good even without any partnerships (our coverage), but that future seems cloudy at best.

While a Google ad partnership may make sense on paper to save Yahoo, one can’t help but wonder if giving away valuable search advertisements is a “cutting off the nose to spite the face” situation, as Allen Stern of CenterNetworks notes.

Microsoft has stepped up its effort in recent days to put pressure on Yahoo to accept its offer. Yahoo has been given three weeks to come to the table and formally talk about a deal before Microsoft will take a less valuable offer directly to the shareholders and seek to put new board members of its choosing in place (our coverage).

Yahoo responded to Microsoft’s threat by basically calling its chief executive, Steve Ballmer, a liar and a cheapskate (our coverage).

The countdown to a nasty public letter from Microsoft about any Yahoo/Google deal, begins now.

update: As we expected, it only took Microsoft a matter of hours to shoot back with a release about the Google/Yahoo deal. It’s only three sentences but emphasizes the point that Google and Yahoo combined control over 90 percent of the search advertising market.

The full statement by Microsoft general counsel Brad Smtih:

“Any definitive agreement between Yahoo! and Google would consolidate over 90% of the search advertising market in Google’s hands. This would make the market far less competitive, in sharp contrast to our own proposal to acquire Yahoo! We will assess closely all of our options. Our proposal remains the only alternative put forward that offers Yahoo! shareholders full and fair value for their shares, gives every shareholder a vote on the future of the company, and enhances choice for content creators, advertisers, and consumers.”

First S Korean in space launches :Lift-off of the Soyuz rocket appeared to go without a hitch

Lift-off of the Soyuz rocket appeared to go without a hitch
The Soyuz rocket carrying South Korea's first astronaut, Yi So-yeon, has launched successfully on its voyage to the International Space Station (ISS).

Ms Yi and two Russian cosmonauts blasted off from Kazakhstan's Baikonur space centre at 1116 GMT.

The 29-year-old bio-engineer will spend about 10 days in space and conduct a series of scientific tests.

The launch makes South Korea the ninth Asian country to have had an astronaut in space.

Before the launch, Ms Yi had boarded the rocket flashing a thumbs-up and saying she felt "great".

Ms Yi was chosen from about 36,000 applicants for the mission, which is costing South Korea about $20m (£10m).

Initially the back-up astronaut, she was moved up after Russian officials said the first-choice, 31-year-old Ko San, had broken space centre rules.

'Wow'

She is flying in a Russian Soyuz TMA-12 spacecraft alongside flight engineer Oleg Kononenko, 43, and Sergei Volkov, 34, the son of a famous Soviet cosmonaut.

At a news conference on Monday, journalists asked Ms Yi what she would do when she arrived at the ISS.

"I guess first of all I am going to shout: 'Wow!'," she replied.

She hoped that her spaceflight would help ease ties between the two Koreas.

"I hope someday they will be one, and I hope the North Korean people will be happy with my flight," she said.

The first Asian astronaut (or cosmonaut) was Vietnam's Pham Tuan, who travelled on a Soviet Soyuz mission in 1980.

Since then, citizens of Mongolia, Afghanistan, Japan, India, Kazakhstan, China and Malaysia have also journeyed into space.

Ms Yi is scheduled to return to Earth on 19 April with the outgoing crew of the ISS.
