                                         “Kevin has built a supremely talented organization and laid the foundation for the future success of Windows and our Online Services Business. This new structure will give us more agility and focus in two very competitive arenas,” Ballmer said. “It has been a pleasure to work with Kevin, and we wish him well in the future.”

                                         Effective immediately, senior vice presidents Steven Sinofsky, Jon DeVaan and Bill Veghte will report directly to Ballmer to lead Windows/Windows Live. The Windows organization recently announced strong annual sales, with more than 180 million copies of Windows Vista sold globally, and it has driven more than 100 million installs of its Windows Live suite. The organization’s innovation pipeline includes a new version of Windows Internet Explorer, the next version of Windows and the next generation of the Windows Live product suite.

                                         In the Online Services Business, Microsoft will create a new senior lead position and will conduct a search that will span internal and external candidates. In the meantime, Senior Vice President Satya Nadella will continue to lead Microsoft’s search, MSN and ad platform engineering efforts. Microsoft recently announced a strategy to redefine search through innovations in the user experience and business models. As an example, the company’s cashback search program, announced in May, is already generating strong momentum among online shoppers and advertisers.

                                         In addition, Senior Vice President Brian McAndrews will continue to lead the Advertiser & Publisher Solutions Group (APS). APS has great momentum, having signed more than 100 new publisher deals in the past year. McAndrews will continue to focus on the display advertising opportunity for Microsoft, driving execution and integration of advertising assets, including recent acquisitions such as Massive Inc., Navic Networks, ScreenTonic SA and YaData Ltd.

                                                     The web contains vast amounts of information, but not everything worth knowing is on the web. An enormous amount of information resides in people’s heads: millions of people know useful things and billions more could benefit from that knowledge. Knol will encourage these people to contribute their knowledge online and make it accessible to everyone.

                                                     Knols include strong community tools which allow for many modes of interaction between readers and authors. People can submit comments, rate, or write a review of a knol. At the discretion of the author, a knol may include ads from our AdSense program. If an author chooses to include ads, Google will provide the author with a revenue share from the proceeds of those ad placements.

At the Gamefest 2008 event on Tuesday, Microsoft announced that all Games for Windows Live multiplayer features are now free. These features — including multiplayer achievements, matchmaking, cross-platform play with the Xbox 360, GFW voice chat, and more — previously required a GFW Live Gold account. The change is effective immediately and across all GFW titles, both past and future.

                                                                   In addition to making Games for Windows Live free, Microsoft will also be creating a brand new GFW marketplace this fall to rival the marketplace found on the Xbox 360. As with the Xbox Live Marketplace, GFW’s will offer demos, videos, downloadable content, and more. The GFW interface will also receive some tech-friendly changes, lowering requirements for developers looking to make their games GFW compatible.

                                                   The new Google.com for the iPhone browser now loads twice as fast as before and not just over 3G or Wi-Fi but also EDGE. The page is now optimized for fast searching, while still providing easy access to other Google applications including Gmail, Calendar, Reader, and many others under the More tab.The user interface  has also been improved so that there’s more room on the page for search results.

                                                   Also, when you click on a search result, the destination web site now opens in the same browser window that you conducted your search with. This means that you can instantly return to your search results or the Google home page by simply pressing the back button of your browser.

                                                   Finally, you can now access any of the application tabs directly by adding them to your iPhone Home Screen. Cool new icons have been created by the Google team for all the applications. Simply go to www.google.com in your browser, tap on any of the application tabs, click the “+” button, and select “Add to Home Screen.” The icons will appear on your iPhone Home Screen allowing you to go directly to the application with a tap of your finger.

The new version of Google.com works on your 3G iPhone as well as the original iPhone and iPod touch. If you use Google Apps, you can also access this new version by going to www.google.com/m/a/your-domain.com, where “your-domain.com” is replaced with your actual domain name.

Enjoy!

                                                          The contacts in Gmail are now grouped into two parts Suggested Contacts and most contacted.Suggested contacts are those whom you have mailed only a few times that is once or twice whereas the Most Contacted are people you have added manually to your contact list or you have contacted the most via IM or Mail.Suggested contacts automatically get in the most contacted list after having 5 or more conversations.

Personally I feel that automatically adding of contacts was better then putting into two groups .

                                                                 A number of local governments that have taken the opportunity to participate in the Cities in 3D program , are offering the public 3D model of their city through Google Earth. You’ll now find a virtual representation of buildings in many cities, counties, and towns across North America, ranging from the capital city of Washington, DC to the small town of McMinnville, Tennessee.

                                                                 The models of these cities are available in the “3D Buildings” layer on Google Earth, making information that was previously confined to government mapping professionals available to the general public through the rich, interactive environment provided by Google Earth. By providing easy access to this data, these local governments are not just benefiting their residents, but also businesses, developers, preservationists, and other local groups.

                                                                 Local governments can now better engage the public with land-use planning and redevelopment while fostering economic development. Enabling virtual tourism can also boost travel to these areas, as tourists can now appreciate what the cities have to offer and can easily preview their destination. Sharing 3D models through Google Earth enables local governments to easily manage their virtual representation, and allows citizens to easily and freely access their local government’s public data.
