China has toughened rules of registration of domains

Chinese internet cafe

The Chinese authorities have toughened rules of registration of domain names. About it writes Reuters referring to the representative of the Ministry of industrial and information technologies of China. As he said, it has been made with a view of struggle against distribution of a pornography and an illegal content.

China updates "the black list"

Also the authorities will update "the black list" former owners of the forbidden resources to prevent repeated registration of the sites by them.

While it is not clear, whether new rules will be applied only to the Chinese resources or restrictions will concern also the sites located outside of China, writes the edition. However, many of foreign resources, such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter in China are blocked for a long time already.

To private persons have forbidden registration of domains

Since December, 14th in China registration by private persons of domain names has been forbidden. All wishing to register in a zone.cn a domain name have obliged to receive the permission in the Chinese information Internet centre, having given the licence for commercial activity.

Besides, in December of the power have founded for Internet users the award in 10 thousand yuans (1465 US dollars) for a denunciation of a resource extending a pornography.

Twitter Tendencies

Twitter

The world's largest service of microblogs Twitter became for the first time profitable, writes Bloomberg BusinessWeek. In profit to service contracts with corporations Google and Microsoft, the brought companies of 25 million dollars have helped to leave. That Twitter has made records of bloggers accessible for Google, Twitter has received 15 million dollars, and for Bing — 10 million dollars.

Twitter remained in profit

Though Twitter does not open the financial indicators, two sources BusinessWeek have declared, that service thanks to contracts managed to receive small profit following the results of a year. Thus, annual expenses Twitter are levelled to the sum of 25 million dollars.

If sources are right, it will be the first profitable year for service which has appeared in 2006. While Twitter prefers to increase an audience, instead of to receive profit. In total in Twitter, on autumn data, it has been registered over 60 million users.

The astable income

Nevertheless, the stable income at Twitter while is not present. In 2010 service plans to start some paid possibilities for corporate users. Besides, probably, Twitter will start to place advertising in large quantities. While advertising appears only in the Japanese version of a resource.

Attendance Twitter has fallen asleep at one level

Twitter logo

International traffic Twitter continues to be stabilised to similarly number of unique visitors of the resource, fallen asleep flush with November of this year. About it writes TechCrunch. In October Twitter totaled 58,3 million unique visitors. Thus for a month the traffic has grown all for 3,5%.

November traffic Twitter "has fallen asleep"

November traffic Twitter in the USA shows the same indicators: after October falling of attendance for 8% in November the number of visitors has grown all on 100,000 persons.

For the last some months Twitter have started the Spanish, German, French and Italian versions that promoted increase in the international attendance. The chief executive of company Evan Williams has confirmed traffic stabilisation, however has expressed confidence, that new possibilities of a resource, such as button "Retweet", "Lists" and "Geolocation" should increase attendance Twitter.

Sixty percent of bloggers never come back

Meanwhile, April research Nielsen Online has shown, that 60% of the users who have come on Twitter for month, next month to service do not come back any more. Throughout last year Twitter frequently kept less than 30% of the old audience. In traditional social networks this indicator much more above. The low share of remaining users limits resource growth.

Also it is necessary to notice, that the majority of users updates the microblogs not through a site, and by means of mobile appendices and SMS. This feature of interaction with service can seriously influence the conclusions made during the analysis of data about attendance. And the set from the innovations announced by Williams already has been realised in foreign Twitter-clients on which share half of traffic of a resource is necessary.

Amazon

Large Internet platforms, such as Amazon, Expedia.com, Salesforce.com and Walmart.com have appeared on December, 23rd are inaccessible owing to DDoS-attack of DNS-server UltraDNS by unknown malefactors. About it writes Data Center Knowledge.

Logistics as the management tool as the management tool

Last decade in the USA the competition between the companies-manufacturers of the goods of mass production has passed from a competition of the goods and their utilitarian characteristics to a price and qualitative competition. The increasing value gets ability of the company to provide the percentage of quality of the goods optimal for the target consumer and the price. Decrease in the cost price of the goods is reached by manufacture optimisation, but the final price and a service degree of quality directly depend on efficiency of the administrative business processes which are carried out in the company.

Find suppliers

In order to avoid decrease in quality of production owing to considerable decrease in the cost price of the goods, the most effective is decrease and optimisation of expenses for marketing promo-actions. So, to 50 % of the price of the goods are expenses directly on management of logistics owing to what each head should be interested in optimisation of logistical processes in the company. And, to focus attention follows not on decrease in expenses for logistics, namely on optimisation of logistical processes. Otherwise inevitably there is a decrease in quality of service of consumers while the natural reason of optimisation of management of logistics — is also optimisation of expenses for logistics as a whole. Advertise your site Free — declare production!

Construction of logistical business processes and efficient control them means working out of accurate logistical strategy taking into account the general and private purposes of the company.

It is enough important point in management of the company as a whole as not in the last instance result of effective logistical management is formation of the competitive advantages allowing the company to conduct competitive struggle against other participants of the target market, and also maintenance of the general corporate strategy with optimum expenses of resources and observance of strategic stability in the market.

Thus, on the first place leave:

* Processing of the order and service of consumers. This stage allows to avoid omission of potential profit because of impossibility qualitatively to process the order.
* Storekeeping, choice of places of placing industrial and warehouse (optimisation of expenses for production storage).
* Find suppliers with the most favourable procurement prices.

In light above the designated competitive purposes on decrease in expenses for marketing and servicing improvement of quality, the logistical strategy directed on minimisation of investments into logistics as a whole and a logistical infrastructure in particular (working out of transport, warehouse, purchasing logistics) was extended.

Choosing such strategy, the companies place target emphasis on following aspects:

* Decrease in expenses for logistics (that as it has already been told, can essentially reduce the final price of the goods).
* Increase in productivity of a logistical infrastructure (that also can lead to considerable economy of resources of the company).
* Service improvement of quality (for example, optimisation of process of delivery of production to the consumer — the important factor of improvement of quality of service).
* Balance maintenance «expenses/quality» and «expenses/service».
* Free B2B membership for all business structures.

Thus, for working out and introduction of effective logistical strategy it is necessary to be guided first of all by the general corporate purposes and general corporate strategy of the company as they should connect together all processes proceeding in the organisation. Only in this case the logistics can become the effective tool of management of the company as a whole.

Apple has bought musical service LaLa

LaLa

Company Apple has finished the transaction on service acquisition, informs Apple Insider.

17 million for LaLa

The exact sum of the transaction is unknown. It was initially supposed, that for LaLa will pay the whole 80 million dollars. Later TechCrunch referring to the sources close to participants of the transaction, has informed, that the price is too overestimated, and in practice for musical service wish to pay 17 million dollars.

Some experts believe, that Apple has bought LaLa to improve iTunes — for example, to build in a browser that users had an alternative to the independent media centre.

Apple and Google for some years from the companies with different fields of activity have turned to competitors, therefore even Eric Schmidt has left board of directors Apple. And in November Google has bought service of mobile advertising AdMob at which admired Apple. This transaction, by the way, became one of the most expensive in history Google.

Apple + LaLa = ?

But by and large, for end users motives Apple at purchase LaLa, allowing to listen to 8 million musical tracks free of charge, are not very important. The main thing that it has not turned out as with Imeem: has not had time MySpace to buy it as there and then "has killed and has eaten".

Microsoft forbids journalists iPhone

iPhone vs Microsoft

Employees of corporation Microsoft have once again shown the relation to a product of competitors — iPhone to company Apple. Manager MS has forbidden journalists to speak about iPhones during conference in Germany, informs The Register.

Unilateral dislike

On this action in Munich to the public have presented Windows Mobile 6.5. One of representatives of the press, asking a question, has mentioned, that never used more convenient phone, than iPhone.

Manager Microsoft has reacted to the remark of the journalist strange enough — he has asked not to mention company Apple products on the action devoted to discussion of products Microsoft. And, judging by reaction of a hall and conference continuation, the representative of the company did not joke.

Microsoft vs iPhone

Most likely, workers Microsoft had time to tyre rather with comparisons with Apple. On the other hand, it is difficult to present, that Steve Jobs or someone from chiefs Apple — have forbidden listeners to mention on the actions words "Microsoft", "Windows" and so on.

And here Steve Ballmer in similar situations does not hesitate and sincerely expresses the relation to contenders. In September head Microsoft has pulled out iPhone at one of employees of corporation and has pretended, that tramples down a toy. Similar, such behaviour became an official policy of the company.

The oldest social network will sell to Asia

Friendster

One of the oldest social networks on the Internet — resource Friendster.com — will sell to new owners, informs Reuters. Possibly, investors from Asia become owners of the social network opened in far 2002.

Friendster for Asians

Their interest to Friendster is easily explainable: the matter is that the most part of users of a resource, approximately 100 million, inhabitants of Asia — Indonesia, China, Singapore and other countries make. In the USA, Europe and Australia this site is not popular.

It is expected, that transaction details on resource sale will announce in the end of current month. Reuters writes, that buyers will get a resource for the sum more than 100 million dollars. Experts from TechCrunch estimate Friendster in 210 million dollars. In a short list of the companies interested in purchase — Chinese holding Tencent Holdings.

Besides, one of the oldest social services searches for ways of a monetization, and is going to pass from advertising model to earning money on small user transactions.

It is necessary to remind, that in 2003 corporation Google wished to get social network Friendster, having offered then to its owners of 30 million dollars and having been refused. However, at Google there is other social network on emerging markets — speech about Orkut, the basic which part of an audience is made by inhabitants of Brazil.

Postmarked E-mail cares of authenticity of letters

Good mail

The post service of the USA at last has understood, that time has come to get over in a digital reality and to try to earn money for e-mail delivery, is informed in blog The Wall Street Journal. Considering, that e-mail quite not bad goes and without the aid of this department, the Post service by and large has only one direction of activity — trust to e-mail to mail.

Authenticity check

As is known to any Internet user facing a spam, the address of the sender in email can be easily forged. Besides, the real address of the sender to the addressee can be and is not so known so to define authenticity of letters, say, from bank begins even more difficult.

"According to recent research, about 50% of consumers have declared, that delete electronic messages from banks at all not reading, — the head of company Epostmarks speaks Jason Curtis. — As I cannot trust the message, I simply delete the message".

Epostmarks together with other company, Goodmail Systems, has developed technology Postmarked Email, met with approval of Post service. The technology allows to supply e-mail the electronic "marks" including date and time, and also a known logo of Post service with the image of a head of an eagle. Besides, users of post services AOL and Yahoo! Will see on these letters a special mark in the form of an envelope with a blue tape.

This service is aimed at corporate clients who wish that their letters have not been ignored by addressees. Obviously, this dodge will work, if addressees have a boundless trust to Post service of the USA.

E-mail identification

However, if this service gets accustomed, it is easy to expect fast occurrence of spams-letters with the image of an eagle enclosed to them. There is a suspicion, that presence of one only quite will suffice this picture to mislead the majority of usual users.

Facebook has declassified the users

Social network Facebook has fulfilled the promise given in the summer to improve options of parametres of confidentiality. On the one hand, options are simplified, and with another — to users as though have given more control over the personal information. Many, however, believe, that changes only have worsened a situation.

Electronic Frontier Foundation VS Facebook

As have noticed many, including legal experts from Electronic Frontier Foundation, new options are actually more open to all world, than earlier. In Facebook do not open a principle on which the new system of options has been imposed on former installations of existing users. But edition ReadWriteWeb, having familiarised with responses of users, assumes, that those who did not change confidentiality adjustment earlier have suffered, and used old installations by default.

Facebook it was transformed beyond recognition

Now such users, that not wishing, have started to share with all Internet the statuses-messages and records on "wall". The only thing that can justify somehow Facebook in the given situation so it that start of new options has been accompanied by the press release and record in a blog where all 350 million users was offered to come into options of parametres of confidentiality and to expose them according to the preferences.

However, the part of problems cannot be solved even in such a way — some existing before adjustment now for some reason are absent, and some were transformed beyond recognition.

Penis Extender — the device for penis lengthening

Penis Extender

The device consists of the plastic ring connected to two mobile metal cores which the plastic support with the special adaptation for fastening of a head of a penis is built in. The patient himself, without assistance, can establish or remove penis extender. Thanks to the small size and convenience of the device, penis extender it is possible to carry at walking, sitting etc.

Inventor Penis Extender

The founder of not surgical method of lengthening and penis thickening is Danish plastic surgeon Jorn Ege Siana, M.D., which in 1994 has made the first prototype of the device for these purposes. Under the first letters of his name the first developed ex-tender also was called.

Best Penis Extender

Penis stretcher represents the device for lengthening of a penis by means of stretching effort. Action is based on ability of reaction of fabrics at influence on them of long stretching effort which causes increase in number of cages in these fabrics.

Best penis extender by means of the ex-tender and operation on penis lengthening carry out basically to the patients which size of a penis keeps within the standard, or very often exceeds the standard sizes. In this case the aspiration of many men to take priority at the expense of the sizes of a penis is supplemented.

In America the given operations began to make all more widely and more widely approximately from the middle of 90th years. In the beginning it became basically in Los Angeles, but very quickly the technology has extended on all large cities and now good experts in penis lengthening can be found almost in each large city of the USA.

The opposition bribes users Facebook virtual currency

Social project Facebook

Value of game currencies realises the increasing number of people. As it was found out, recently this understanding was born and at representatives of the industry of medical insurance of the USA: the various organisations and associations of this branch conduct campaign against one of bills of the present US president, actually buying support at fans of social games, informs The Business Insider.

Get Health Reform Right in Facebook

The scheme looks so: specially generated group of opponents of the bill of reform in sphere of medical insurance Get Health Reform Right by means of the advertising shown to participants of certain social games from Facebook, offers them a certain sum of virtual game currency in exchange for filling of the simple form. After sending of the form on behalf of the user it is automatically sent e-mail to the congressman in which text the protest against the given bill is made.

The Business Insider refers to the head of game company OMGPOP Dan Porter who the first has paid attention to the given circumstance (and even has made a screenshot of the aforementioned form). As he said, any time "advertising" Get Health Reform Right it was shown in company Zynga games, including hits like Mafia Wars and FarmVille, but then Zynga this advertising has covered.

To advertising in social networks — NO!

I will remind, that, reacting on advertising, fans of social games often get not so much, how many lose, becoming victims of a dishonest policy of advertisers and the game companies. It is not excluded, however, that to this practice the end will soon come.

Fans PS3 will refuse sex for the sake of game

Playboy TV

Three from four owners PlayStation 3 are ready to refuse sex for the sake of a new computer game. To such conclusion the researchers who have interrogated 1130 owners PS3 have come, informs The Register.

Computer games it is more pleasant than sex

By results of interrogation also it was found out, that an order of 30% of British users PlayStation 3 would prefer to spend night behind game with a prefix, than to lay down in bed with the partner. On fairly arising question "why?" Many of respondents have answered, that computer games — much more cheerful and pleasant pastime, than sex.

Besides, owners of prefixes prefer games in the questions, concerning that, as well as on what to spend money. 41% interrogated have declared, that in case to them would give 50 pounds sterling, they would spend for a computer game, and their sex does not interest at all, it is better to look free porn.

Keith Bakker, the director of the Amsterdam clinic specialising on treatment of game dependence, for practice couple of years was convinced that 90% of patients actually are not sick. More often they suffer from impracticality by a life and a society, cannot find contact to close people, therefore prefer to hide from problems and disorder in the virtual worlds.

By the way, idea of refusal of healthy relations with an opposite sex for the sake of games and technics novelties has had time to make the way in show business. Last year Playboy TV has started show Gadget or the Girl by which rules participants-men should make a choice between prospect of dialogue with the nice girl and possibility to receive as a gift a new computer game.
"You think, what amateur porn it is much more pleasant, than real sex? Learn, what it — to be rejected because of a MP3-player!", — so announced the project in a press.

Girl or Gadget?.. Porno!
