ve.png

 Recently a 35.13 terabyte data update in Virtual Earth happend. Some Austrian Cities like:

  • Innsbruck
  • Klagenfurt
  • Linz
  • Salzburg
  • St. Pölten
  • Villach
  • Wels

were also affected. They can be seen now in high resolution. With the “Bird’s Eye View” these Austrian cities can be seen whith an angle of about 45 degrees, where streets, house claddings, trees and parks can be identified. The user can change the viewpoint and the selected area can be seen from all cardinal points.

Microhoo


All news sites are now full with Microsofts offer for Yahoo. Personally I’m not so affected by this, because I’m not using many services from Yahoo. But I think flickr and del.icio.us are really great services from Yahoo and should remain as they are. But there are a lot of people that really don’t like the idea that Yahoo will be soon Microsoft, as you can see on the picture.

Flickr Resistance Against Microsoft Takeover

And Yahoo is still waiting with an official statement accept or defeat the offer. Interesting fact is that the amount of money the bit exceed Microsofts current liquit fund. This would be the first time for Microsoft that they have to contract a dept. I personally think that Microsoft has to enhance there offer in order to take over Yahoo. We will see what will happen in the near future.
