I am not actually interested of how much is the deal, which according to the report is in per stock basis that will worth a $106.5 million. What I really wonder is that how can Google use this for their own products.

On the press release, Google seems planning to incorporate the video compression of ON2 which is known as VP6 into their web products. Is it for the YouTube or for other and future web products of Google.

“Today video is an essential part of the web experience, and we believe high-quality video compression technology should be a part of the web platform,” said Sundar Pichai, vice president, Product Management, Google. “We are committed to innovation in video quality on the web, and we believe that On2’s team and technology will help us further that goal.”

There is also an speculation that after this acquiring transaction, the license fee for the use of the VP6 will be waived by Google and it will be sent to open source.

There are observers also who think negatively. They said that Google might not be planning to use the VP6 technology and that Google just want to purchase this product and kill it just like what Google did to other technology it bought before.

One of the speculations over the issue is that Google Voice product and similar products like with that of Skype directly compete with the AT&T’s own wireless voice service. And the addition of Google Voice to the iPhone under AT&T will result into the degradation of their own product.

Today, it is reported that the FCC through James Schlichting wrote letter to both the AT&T and Apple, asking the two companies to explain why Apple rejected the Google Voice product for the Apple’s iPhone. Part of the letter says:

Did Apple act alone, or in consultation with AT&T, in deciding to reject the Google Voice application and related applications? If the latter, please describe the communications between Apple and AT&T in connection with the decision to reject Google Voice.

Google also has been requested by the FCC to explain how the Google Voice operate through an iPhone

The said office employed 250 workers. 95 of them were being screened for the H1N1 virus and four of them are urged to remain in the hospital while their samples are being tested.

The Google employee that has been tested positive of the virus is said to have infected his 6 fellows in an apartment. All of them are now quarantined and have been give medication.

According to the report, there are 220 people in India that have been tested positive of the virus. However, 141 of them went home already after the treatment.

Now, I understand why.

With the report that Mark Lucovsky, an Engineering Director, is leaving Google for VMware, the story about the incident happened between Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmerand Mark Lucovsky before surfaced as told by MG Siegler of Techcrunch.

But Lucovsky may be best known for the role he played in a complete and utter meltdown that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer once had. As the NT architect, Lucovsky was clearly pretty vital to Microsoft, so when he went in for a meeting with Ballmer in 2004 to let him know he was leaving, you can be sure the CEO was a bit on edge.

“Just tell me it’s not Google,” Ballmer reportedly said according to court documents (for a case surrounding another Google ex-Microsoft hire). When Lucovsky said it was Google, Ballmer allegedly picked up a chair and threw it across the room.

What he apparently said next, will live on forever in Internet history.

“Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy. I’m going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to fucking kill Google.”

Schmidt, is of course, Google’s CEO. When Lucovsky still wasn’t convinced, Ballmer alledgedly went on to say, “Google’s not a real company. It’s a house of cards.”

So up to this time, Microsoft still hates Google.

So, everyone is already expecting that Microsoft might do what Google did. And just recently, Microsoft announced that the Microsoft Office 2010 will include the web-based Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. And there’s one note, these apps will be available to everyone for free.

It is said that the Microsoft Office 2010 by next year, but the demo of it is already made available. Just go straight to http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/.

In other words, it will be better to use the Google Chrome OS for the netbooks not just in price but also in speed, portability and compatibility.

According to the reports, Bing initially got 7.81% market share in the US and it increases to 8.23%. And many techy people who are observing the trend believed that it will be stealing more market shares from Google, especially that Bing started to include the tweets on its search results.

However, when Michael Jackson died, Bing users started to learn the failures of Microsoft’s Bing. Bing just couldn’t cope with the demands of its users on the fresh news updates through its search results.

Bing’s Jacquelyn Krones stated that, “By most reports, Bing did not deliver the best experience for our customers soon after TMZ posted the news on their blog, …As Search Engine Journal pointed out, we had the story but it was hidden at the bottom of the main page and even deeper in our xRank result.“

It was not however the first time Google experienced censorship order from the Chinese government.

But it’s the latest move of the Chinese Government on their effort to block inappropriate contents to the Chinese internet users.

The announcement of the Chinese Government that all PCs sold in China should have installed with the special software that blocks inappropriate websites to children in China caused a stir.
