Google threatens to withdraw from China.

Google has openly said that it can withdraw from China if needed. This statement has come after Google found some involvment of chinese government behind the hacking of Gmail accounts of some social activists. Google was already pissed off by the cencorship imposed by chinese government on the search result in china. You might not get any search result for Tibet or Dalai Lama or Tank man. However after this statement many disputed results are available in search results in Google China. Due to various regional pressure google search results have been different for different regions. A common example is – If you search for Indian state Arunachal Pradesh on Google Map in china, it is shown as a part of Republic of China. Same search shows Arunachal pradesh as Indian territorry in Google India. And the most irritating as well as hilarious thing is that Google in United States shows Arunachal Pradesh as a disputed Territory. I was amazed by looking at these biased search results.

Recently India has condemened Google for showing Arunachal Pradesh as Chinese Territory and warned to take action against the firm.

Google withdrawing from China seems completely impossible as China is a big market for internet users and internet advertising as well. Nor China can afford to lose Google as it can reder many unemployed in China and hamper the chinese interest a well. China assured that it will take care of foreign comanies investing in their country.

Working of IMEI

IMEI NumberIMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It is a unique built in ID through which your cellphone can be identified and its whereabouts can be traced. It is associated with each cellphone during manufacturing process. Importance of IMEI numbers can be understood by the fact that if your cellphone gets snatched or stolen you can trace your cellphone using IMEI number. If you are unable to get back your cellphone then at least you can take help from police to blacklist that IMEI number so that it can not be used by anyone. Cellphones without IMEI number is a major threat to the security of any nation. Such cellphones can not be traced and terrorists can use it for malicious purpose. Most of the cheap Chinese cellphones in the market do not have IMEI numbers. Some of them use the duplicate IMEI numbers too.

Have you ever wondered that how your IMEI number gets traced and how the blacklisted IMEI numbers gets blocked? IMEI numbers of all the mobile terminals are stored in the database known as EIR i.e. Equipment Identity Register. EIR stores three different lists of IMEI numbers – A white list, A Black list and A Grey List. White list consists of all the IMEI numbers who are allowed to access the network. Black list consists of the list of those numbers which are blocked. These are usually stolen terminals whose service have been barred. Grey list consists of faulty or non-approved equipment. These equipments are under monitor.

Recently I India put a ban on cellphones without IMEI number. If you had purchased cheap Chinese cellphone and you want to continue with your same cellphone then all you have to do is to immediately apply for unique IMEI number. It is possible to use your cellphone. You need to approach to ICA i.e. Indian Cellular Association for unique IMEI number. They embedded a new IMEI number into your cellphone. So you can continue using your same cellphone.

Microsoft’s new search engine

bingYou would have heard in month of May that Microsoft is going to launch its brand new search engine called Bing. Now that the beta version of Bing.com is online, internet users are curious to know what new about it. Now why did Microsoft decide to launch a new search engine when it already has a search engine live.com? Let me first tell you that live.com is now enhanced and turned to bing.com. So when next time you try to open live.com you actually get redirected to Bing Beta. The question still crawls “why”. Obviously Microsoft has used some new algorithm in Bing to give relevant search results. Talking about the interface of Bing beta, it opens quickly though not quick as Google, but it appears with a beautiful background image which is cool. You can set your search preferences and incorporate the search engine with your browser. These features are available with every search engine on web but what else do you want with a search engine. Important thing is the result provided. Since the search engine is in beta state hence no paid ads are present on the home page.

Lots more is needed to be done because to compete Google now is like racing with the wind. Google already incorporated loads of features with its iGoogle and is hit among the users. Lets us see what innovation Microsoft brings to make Bing a unique search engine. It is too early to comment on its performance. Let’s wait and watch.
