qq 360 battle

shared by Yang Jiang on 06 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • A battle over alleged unfair business practices between Tencent, operator of the popular instant-messaging software QQ, and Qihoo 360, China’s biggest antivirus service provider, escalated this week when Tencent  stopped service to QQ  users whose computers are installed with  Qihoo 360’s software.
  • The conflict appears to have started two months ago when Qihoo 360, which has 300 million users, alleged that QQ was scanning the private data of its more than 600 million users and released software claiming to block plug-ins that could cause such privacy leaks.
  • In a statement sent to users Wednesday, Tencent said “Dear QQ users, this email is to inform you that we’ve just made a very difficult decision. Until Qihoo 360 removes the tag-on service and malicious slander against QQ software, we have decided to stop running QQ software on computers that have installed the 360 software. We are fully aware of the inconvenience this may cause you, and we sincerely apologize for it.”

  • Education in the U.S. is a $500 billion sector “waiting desperately to be transformed by big breakthroughs that extend the reach of great teaching,” said Murdoch in a statement, and Wireless Generation is at the “forefront” of individualized, tech-based learning.

    This article reminds of what Professor Dede said in the class, that we are at the inflection point in the history of of educational technologies. The author confirms that with eleven marked changes.

    This is a very exciting time but I noticed that the author cited evidence that I believe will only contribute to the achievement gap. He cites that poverty is increasing and every new educational effort requires money or families with time to spend with their children. The adults who focus on children in poverty are the teachers. Where are they in the list?

    I agree overall about 2011 being an inflection point, but I also remember that IBM 360 and TV were supposed to revolutionalize education too.

  • Microsoft's research into a "foot-based user interface" seemed somewhat novel in 2006, when I first wrote about the project. Now that the company has released its Kinect full-body motion control system for the Xbox 360, the idea of controlling a machine with your feet seems like only part of the picture.
  • Despite the fact that it seems outdated, or at least partial, the patent actually could be a notable win as the Redmond company expands the concept of motion-based interfaces beyond its video-game console into more general-purpose computing.

    This could be used as an alternate means of interacting with computers. From an educational standpoint this does not appear to be dated, but rather creating opportunities for people with limited means of motion.
