Microsoft reportedly was busy lobbying for Apple. It is said that this effort to get rid of the default system Google search on mobile phones iPhone 4G/HD future.
These rumors continue to grow in various sites and blogs before the event takes place yearly Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2010) that this year Apple held in San Moscone West, San Francisco, 7-11 June.
Many were speculating, Google’s coup reasons, either because they developed the Android business the company began a big business and undermine Apple applications.
But on the other hand, not so easy to remove Google from Apple products. Many existing core iPhone applications under Google’s control, such as search, maps, and of course: YouTube.
Mygadgetnews quoted, Sunday (30/05/2010), so far Google can maintain its search engine – search and advertising – and become the default in the iPhone, none other than Apple for daring to pay U.S. $ 100 million for the contract year.
With that much money, of course, Apple will still stick with Google. Unless, Microsoft dare pay more, or at least equal in number.
The rumors were probably not entirely correct. For according to Kara Swisher, The Wall Street Journal journalist from San Francisco bureau, writes that the approach taken so that none other than Microsoft’s search engine can be a third option in the iPhone – not a replacement for Google.
As is known, other than Google, so there is also Yahoo’s search engine second option in the iPhone. Bing wants Microsoft to be one of the options. In addition, the company is now led by Steve Ballmer wants to map existing in the Bing could be more integrated with the iPhone.
But who knows, it could be rumor or gossip just facts pending. Reportedly, all the facts will be revealed at Apple WWDC 2010 held next month.

Is the future Google will use self-manufactured chips in Android based cell phones and tablet?
Google reportedly has taken over Agnilux, company start-up chip maker. Pehub.com site reported, a spokesman for Google acknowledged the acquisition, but did not mention how much value to be paid. Agnilux activities until now it still a secret and his web site not yet active. A cache of his web site shows only a map and address Agnilux offices located in San Jose, California. However, The New York Times has launched a kind of server that Agnilux develop and establish cooperation with Cisco and Texas Instruments.
The founder of this company are former employees of PA Semiconductor, among Amarjeet Gill, Mark Hayter, and Puneet Kumar. PA Semiconductor is a manufacturer of chips that Apple acquired in 2008 amounted to 278 million U.S. dollars. From this acquisition, Apple produces chips used in Apple iPad A4 now and reportedly also used a fourth-generation iPhone that has recently leaked out on the streets.
According to the information in the cache of his web site, Agnilux gni itself consists of the word in Sanskrit which means fire in Latin lux meaning light. Up to now could not be ascertained what was done Google and Agnilux. Even if not a rival to Apple’s smartphone business, Agnilux probably will support the development of Google’s servers.

The German government has discovered the Internet and data privacy as a political issue. The new debate over who should control the online world reveals a clash of two cultures, with the American ideal of freedom contrasting with the European desire for privacy. Quoted from SPIEGEL.
Sometimes it’s a good thing to have at least one real enemy, particularly when you already have no friends. No one knows this better than Ilse Aigner.
For the last year and a half, Aigner, who is from Upper Bavaria and is a member of the conservative Christian Social Union (CSU), the sister party to Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, has been Germany’s minister of food, agriculture and consumer protection — in that order. Aigner spends much of her time inaugurating trade shows and agricultural fairs, being photographed with cute farm animals and expressing her outrage over rotten meat, genetically engineered corn and imitation cheese. She hasn’t made much of an impression.
Until now, that is. She recently took on a truly serious issue: the Internet and data privacy. And suddenly the minister finds herself facing more powerful foes than dodgy butchers: online giants like Amazon, Facebook and, above all, Google.
Soon the US search engine company plans to send cars equipped with cameras out onto Germany’s roads once again, to photograph every house and every block and create three-dimensional maps for the company’s Street View project. Aigner is now insisting that Google should ask permission before violating the privacy of German citizens. Most of all, the minister’s attacks reveal just how divided the German government is when it comes to the online world. (http://seoblog.web.id/)
