Every blogger should diversify and if 90% of your traffic comes from Google, then you’re pretty much in trouble. Submit your blog to various search engine, China Maza has a list of chinese search engine that a blogger could submit their URL to.

Open Source Search
Jimmy Wales the founder of Wikipedia has launched a new project known as the Open Source Search Engine - Grub. Part of the reason for the surprised move is the discomfort of Google and its foothold on the internet, according to Jimmy Wales, the Grub crawler is based on LookSmart and they’ve just launch a tool for both Linux and Windows and pretty much like Wikipedia, anyone and everyone can be part of the community by contributing their computer resources when it is in ideal mode.
Grub looks really interesting, and should be fantastic. I doubt it will be a threat to Google anytime soon.
What Will Windows 7 Look Like?
By now, everyone has heard of Microsoft’s next version of Windows, Windows 7 or used to be known as Vienna, would be made available in 2010. Every new windows spot a slightly change in the user interface, the most drastic changes would be the introduction of Windows 95 that caught the world by storm and sealed the entire computer industry’s fate where Microsoft became the world’s most powerful software company.
According to source, Windows 7 may spot a hypervisor or a drastic change in the user interface, this can be seen with Microsoft’s introduction of its Surface computer in late May. The surface computer looks like a coffee table with touchscreen interface that lets users move photos around by hand synchronize devices by placing them on the table.

Blackle the new Google Black
A black version of Google Search, mind you, it is not the official Google nor recognize by Google itself. Blackle as it is called is a custom search engine powered by Google, it claimed that it require more energy to power a display that is white in colour, but we have to take note that this only applies to conventional CRT monitor and not LCDs.
Someone is out there to make a quick profit from cheap publicity. Reminds me of Google Mirror - A mirrored version of Google.
Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. “Image displayed is primarily a function of the user’s color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen.” Roberson et al, 2002

Acer slam Microsoft
The head of Taiwan-based personal computer maker Acer, Gianfranco Lanci, slam Microsoft for its not up to standard Vista Operating System.
Personally I couldn’t agree more, “I really don’t think that someone has bought a new PC specifically for Vista,” he added. I bought an Acer Aspire laptop and I choose Windows Xp instead of Vista because of stability and software compatibility. Anyway, mine is a laptop and since Vista drains battery at 40% faster than XP, I see no reason for me to choose Vista, it defeats the idea of having a portable computer anyway.
