Yahoo's Flickr Expands into Online Video Options |
|
Friday, 11 April 2008 |
 Yahoo Inc. will begin showing homemade videos on its online photo-sharing site, Flickr, in a long-anticipated move that may be too late to lure most people away from the Internet's dominant video channel, Google Inc.'s YouTube.
Flickr's video technology, to debut late Tuesday, represents the latest example of Yahoo trying to catch up to Google in a crucial battleground.
Yahoo's inability to keep pace with Google in the lucrative online search market caused its profits and stock price to sag during the past two years, which in turn triggered an unsolicited takeover attempt by Microsoft Corp. for more than $40 billion.
While trying to fend off Microsoft, Yahoo has continued to develop and introduce services that the Sunnyvale-based company hopes will help revive its earnings growth.
Unlike Internet search, online video hasn't blossomed into a big moneymaker yet. But it's expected to turn into a marketing magnet as advertisers shift more of their spending from television in pursuit of consumers who are watching more entertainment and news online.
Yahoo already operates one of the Web's largest video platforms, but most of its content is provided by media outlets and other outside professionals.
Flickr's new technology is aimed at amateurs and hobbyists looking for a better way to share short video clips with family and friends.
Only Flickr's "pro" members — those who pay for a $24.95 annual subscription — will be allowed to transfer video clips of up to 90 seconds to the site, but anyone will be able to watch them. A privacy setting will allow videographers to limit access to the clips on Flickr if they want.
The video service will be offered in English and seven other languages: French, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and traditional Chinese. Source: ieXbeta |

Windows Live OneCare for Server private beta started |
|
Thursday, 10 April 2008 |
 Paul Thurrot got word from Microsoft that Windows Live OneCare For Server has gone into private beta: Last month, Microsoft highlighted its Small Business Server 2008 and Windows Live OneCare for Server, upcoming solutions aimed at providing increased security and protection for a small business environment. Microsoft recently invited a select group of private beta testers who are also testing the Small Business Server 2008 beta to lend feedback on Windows Live OneCare for Server. Limited to 5,000 testers, this is an important step toward ultimately bringing this solution to the small business environment based on their valuable input. Windows Live OneCare for Server is designed to work with Windows Small Business Server 2008. OneCare for Server provides anti-malware and security services to help protect and maintain the server. Additionally, the protection OneCare for Server offers includes: - Performance tune-up
- Removal of unnecessary files
- Automated backup (of specific file types)
- Consolidated management
Joe Willcox posted about the planned release of a version of Windows Live OneCare for servers on February 20th. Steven VanRoekel, senior director of Windows Server Product Solutions, said the software will be bundled with Small Business Server and Essential Server 2008 editions, along with a one-year subscription to Forefront for Exchange.

Now playing: Adobe Media Player 1.0 |
|
Wednesday, 09 April 2008 |
|
 Adobe Systems on Wednesday plans to release Adobe Media Player (AMP), a free download for playing Flash-based Web videos on Macs or PCs.
Written with Adobe's AIR, AMP is a hybrid online/offline application that lets people subscribe to different video Webcasts. Adobe has signed on some initial partners including CBS, PBS, MTV Networks, Universal Music Group, CondeNet, and Scripps Networks. The videos are either streamed from the content producer's Web site or they can be downloaded. Adobe will host a catalog, called Adobe TV, on its site where people can find videos. Because it's written with AIR, people can be offline or online when they watch. Source: Cnet News |

Mac security not so much about the Mac |
|
Wednesday, 09 April 2008 |
|
 San Francisco politicians like to joke that Social Security reform is considered the "third rail" of politics. In Apple's world, that rail belongs to security.
It's been a while since we examined the "state of Mac security," and with this week's RSA Conference in San Francisco, and last month's CanSecWest conference fresh in everyone's mind, it seemed like a decent time. The topic is always a heated one, and tends to bring out the usual Mac vs. PC bashing. But according to people I talked to this week here at RSA, the nature of security threats has moved well beyond the platform. First of all, let's examine where things stand. No security researcher I spoke with could think of an instance of a Mac running Mac OS X that had been exploited in the wild. Not as part of a contest, or as part of a show-stopping demonstration, but through a malicious attack aimed at pwning a Mac. Few were even sure that any viruses or worms existed for the Mac; there was a Trojan horse-type of exploit in the wild last year, but it was delivered through a porn site, and required users to take several steps to infect themselves.
