2012-05-15 03:31:54 How NASA Led Tech to the Cloud

From FINSA decade ago in a Houston bar, an Air Force general named S. Pete Worden ran into a group of young, liberal graduate students who were attending the World Space Congress, a spaceflight industry convention, to protest the militarization of space.Worden, then 52, was a big proponent of weapons in the stars, having earned the name "Darth Vader" while working on President Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" program, more formally known as the Strategic Defense Initiative. Overhearing the group arguing about space militarization, Worden plunked himself down at the group's table and pushed the merits of U.S. military policy.

2012-05-14 17:10:00 Who is Ross Levinsohn, Yahoo’s New Interim CEO?

European Pressphoto AgencyRoss Levinsohn, who was named Yahoo interim Chief ExecutiveIn choosing Ross Levinsohn to become Yahoo Inc.'s interim chief executive, the company is focusing squarely on its need to protect its greatest asset: online-ad sales, which make up the bulk of its more than $4 billion in annual net revenue.Unlike former Yahoo CEOs Scott Thompson and Carol Bartz, both of whom had no ad experience before taking the top job, Mr. Levinsohn is a veteran of the ad world, having forged strong alliances with executives at Madison Avenue agencies that represent the biggest ad spenders.A person familiar with the matter said Sunday that the board has told Mr. Levinsohn, 48 years old, that he could potentially win the CEO job permanently.Still, Mr. Levinsohn must deal with Yahoo's weak revenue growth and threats from technology rivals such as Facebook Inc. and Google Inc. Yahoo's ad-sales business also faces competition from numerous media websites such as Walt Disney Co.-owned ESPN.com and Hulu LLC, which is owned by several companies including News Corp., owner of The Wall Street Journal.

2012-05-11 02:11:25 Microsoft Redesigns Bing as Search Engine Lags Behind Google

Microsoft Corp.Microsoft's redesign of Bing splits up the familiar page of Web-search results into three columns.Microsoft Corp. announced Thursday a redesign of its Bing Web-search engine that incorporates more information from social networks such as Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc., another step in the company’s campaign to chase market-leading Google Inc.The latest version of Bing, which at Microsoft bore the codename “Metallica” after the heavy-metal band, splits up the familiar page of Web-search results into three columns. The first shows traditional Web links. The middle column, called “snapshot,” includes information to help Web surfers follow through on certain search requests. For example, a person searching the name of a movie could see an online trailer for the film, and could have an option to buy tickets to the film without leaving the Bing results page.
