CHM file(book) error, not displaying content

Sometime when you download a chm help file or chm book from internet, or copy it from any usb drive it does not open or when open does not show any content.
this is actually security problem. Windows does not allow chm files to open.

Solution: right click the file->properties. at bottom of proper you will see a button unblock. click that button. it means windows will now not block the opening of the file. User marked it safe for opening.

Secondly: copy it to another folder/another drive or desktop and then try to open, sometimes it works.

E-bay drops Google Ads


On Monday, Google announced it would throw a party in Boston on Thursday evening designed to attract eBay merchants who would be in town to attend the eBay Live annual seller conference.

The purpose of the party: protesting eBay's decision to forbid merchants in its marketplace from using Google's Checkout online transaction system.

So, Internet auctioneer eBay has pulled its U.S. search ads from Google, a stunning move by one of the search leader’s largest AdWords clients

eBay is one of the largest buyers of Google ads and a standard Google search for “iPod,” “shoes,” or “DVDs” normally pulls up paid links to eBay. But as of Wednesday, those links had vanished, though they did appear on rival Yahoo.

The spat between the two Internet giants is a sign that Google’s push into more industries—including online and offline advertising, media distribution, and web-based software—is creating all sorts of conflicts for the Mountain View, California-based company. Google was sued by Viacom over copyright of videos on YouTube, and AT&T and Microsoft have protested Google’s planned acquisition of online ad company DoubleClick.

eBay’s conflict with Google began last June when Google introduced its Checkout system. eBay has refused to allow Checkout to be used on eBay’s sites, saying that Checkout is still unproven.

Microsoft Launches Competitor To Google Scholar

Microsoft Launches Competitor To Google ScholarThe beta version of Windows Live Academic Search lets users search the Web for journal articles, academic papers, and notes and slides from scholarly conferences. TechWeb.com Apr 12,
Microsoft Corp. introduced a new Windows Live Academic Search lets users search the Web for journal articles, academic papers, and notes and slides from scholarly conferences in computer science, electrical engineering and physics.
The search effort between Academic Search, industry association CrossRef and more than 10 publishers connect users to primary research material. CrossRef, a nonprofit group, operates a citation-linking platform allowing researchers to legally access millions of articles and other content from several hundred scholarly and professional publishers.

Academic Search will source journals from the Association for Computing Machinery, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Reed Elsevier and Wiley & Sons. Reading more than the abstract, however, requires a subscription. The initial beta for the service is available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan and Australia.
The tool for researchers, students, librarians, and journalists narrows searches to specific interests. There are plans to add journals from medicine, psychology, history and art in phases following the initial launch.
Academic Search supports OpenURL, the library standard used for linking to subscription-based content via the Web, and Open Architecture Initiative (OAI) protocol to index OAI-compliant repositories. For example, Microsoft has indexed the content in ArXiv.org. Microsoft also provides a list of the journals and source indexes. Functions also include the OpenURL standard to allow users to click on the link in their library Open URL to determine their access to the full text.
The site competes with Goolge Scholar and SciFinder Scholar, which cover a broad subject range.

Google Launches Google Calendar

Google Launches Google Calendar


Google today launched a new Web-based calendar service that will let users add meetings and events using their own words. Dubbed Google Calendar, a beta version of the service is live and available here.

In development for 'several months,' the service initially will be integrated with Google's Gmail e-mail service, according to Carl Sjogereen, a Google product manager. (Go here to read what Harry McCracken, PC World's editor in chief, thinks of the new service.)
Bloggers have been speculating about Google's possible entry into the calendar space for more than a year, and some believe that the search engine giant's involvement could spur a flurry of Web calendar development.
'I sure as hell hope they do it,' wrote Yahoo engineer Jeremy Zawodny in a February blog posting last year. 'There's been so little innovation in the world of on-line calendars these last few years. Perhaps Google getting into the act would finally change that.'
Long-term Plans?
Google's Sjogereen was circumspect in discussing the company's plans for Google Calendar. He declined to say what, if any, connection the project might have with the OpenOffice.org office productivity suite that Google has backed, but he hinted that Google Calendar could be integrated with things like Google's personalized home pages. 'Gmail is the main integration point for now, but you can imagine integration with a number of other Google properties,' he said.
Gmail and Calendar to Work Together
Gmail will take advantage of one of the most interesting features of Google Calendar, its ability to understand language and to quickly create calendar entries. "We do our best to determine whether you're talking about an event that's being added to your calendar," Sjogereen said.

Google Calendar users will be able to create new events directly out of their Gmail messages, or they can also use a feature called QuickAdd in order to add appointments using natural language, typing "lunch with pat noon Friday," to create a new calendar entry, for example.

Once events are created, Google Calendar can send out e-mail invitations to other participants and send event reminders and change notifications to the Google user.

Share With Others
But setting up a personal calendar is only part of the picture. Google Calendar will allow users to search for and then subscribe to publicly available calendars--the schedule of a local baseball team for example--and then integrate that information into their own calendars.

Google Calendar, which will support the iCal data exchange standard used by a number of groupware products, will also let users share their calendars with others using the RSS (Really Simple Syndication) syndication technology.
