Huh... turns out Google actually IS your friend

Google is officially on Facebook, and the people approve. But no, not in a way that actually makes sense, Microsoft already has that covered. Google has quietly rolled out its own Facebook page, and the search giant's presence on the world's most...

The joy(lessness) of random sex ads

Microsoft appears to have a few issues with the ads its serving in Hotmail. Readers we're hearing from at Brand Republic are getting random ads for various articles of racy clothing and sex toys. Nice. We're as open minded as the next (as long...

Yahoo! plays its safe with CEO appointment

Yahoo! has continued to do exactly what got it in this mess in the first place. It has played it boring and hired a CEO, in Carol Bartz, who is a safe pair of hands for a publicly quoted company, but has little or no Web 2.0 or advertising experience...

And now they have satellites?

Google is buying satellites. I don't know about you, but I'm worried. It already has pictures of the pool in your back garden and now it plans to launch at least 16 satellites, which must be as many as we have. This can't be good. There are...

Chrome is going to be one of those ironies

Google chief executive officer Eric Schmidt has admitted that the decision to launch its Chrome browser is a defensive one in its battle with Microsoft's and Internet Explorer. The irony is that it is likely to be Firefox, like Netscape before it...

An independent Yahoo! is good for business (says Google)

Google CEO Eric Schmidt is at it again telling anyone who will listen what a great thing it would be for the industry if Yahoo! stayed independent because "a combination with Microsoft "would be anti-competitive". Like he should know. Of...

Bold moves by Nokia could finally challenge Google

Huge moves this week in the world of mobile as Nokia bought the half of Symbian it didn't already own, and announced plans to make its software free of charge. That's millions in revenue it is giving up. Very Scandinavian. Symbian was created...

Jerry Yang smart dumb

I'm sure that Yahoo! chief executive Jerry Yang is a very smart man, but it seems that, like a lot of men, he is of the smart-dumb variety. That's the only way to explain why he would want to sign a deal with his biggest competitor Google, which...

Will Microsoft really buy Facebook and challenge the Google Monster?

That's the story that is starting to go around again, and it could do so for as much as $20bn. This could, in effect, create two scary companies, but isn't that better than one? Here is how the story goes. Robert Scoble on his blog says he is...

Floundering Yahoo! and who will win out in the merger

Yahoo! seems to be fresh out of ideas. We know this because its solution to fighting off Microsoft is to form an alliance with Google. This appears to be the equivalent of the lamb shacking up with the hungry wolf. Good luck with that one. Yahoo!'s...

Microsoft and Yahoo! the merger

Things are bad at Yahoo! and it looks like the end of the road as a standalone company with more pain on the way as Microsoft launches its $44.6bn bid, but it does mean that finally things will get interesting for Google and the rest of us. Yahoo! announced...

Microsoft blogger bites back

That'll teach them. Microsoft's once tame blogger has bitten back. Some people are so ungrateful. Robert Scoble, who writes the Scobleizer blog, worked for the software giant as an in-house blogger for three years as a "technology evangelist"...
