    Microsoft announced that they have partnered with Yelp to enhance their search results.  Google being the number 1 search engine, others are always looking for new ways to compete and possibly take over the number 1 spot.  Yelp is a website that provides users with reviews on businesses such as restaurants, hotels, bars, etc., like most free search engines, Yelp makes their money based off of advertising on their page. Aside from the addition to Yelp, Bing also added a Facebook connection to their search results.  If someone looks up a certain company that has a Facebook page, that page and user reviews will also come up in their search.  Recently Google added a feature called "The Knowledge Graph".  This feature can help distinguish the difference amongst your search if the topic you are researching has various meanings.  Bing came up with doing a "Snapshot" of the pages you search for to help you see more information about what you are searching for.

    Facts show that when your product is more expensive than competition it limits sales and as the article shows it aided ipad to have higher sale rates Intels atom processor and Microsoft's Windows 7 Starter Edition operating system found a way to tender a distinguished product that could justify lower expenses to help create further market share. If Microsoft and Intel learned from their occurrence with net book, the prospect of lower costs could let them compete based on price. Microsoft still has the possibility of succeeding along side Windows 8 tablets and that is by leaving Intel out, and instead run on ARM based hardware which is less expensive.

    Overall some ways that Microsoft can win against Ipad besides prices is functionality. If Windows 8 desktop or intel tablet improved by ensure ample app offerings, watched quality control, and figuring out how users with a full version of Microsoft Office are able to work together with users packing ARM-powered tablets and their less-capable Microsoft's productivity tools.

Among them: Conversion of CapEx (capital expenditure) to OpEx (operational expenditure); Access to the latest version without the pain often associated with upgrades; Removal of the burden of application and infrastructure management; and Potential for heightened security beyond internal capabilities.

    Cloud computing is becoming more and more popular in today's business world. What are the main advantages that cloud computing can bring to Hospitality industry? Through the article I found the answer which are also the concerns of hoteliers that are a lower cost and a higher security environment. For instance hotel companies can be access to the latest version of what they are using without paying too much to buy related software. Secondly since the cloud is being used by federal government and financial institution which have higher level of regulatory requirements than most hotels, hotel companies can feel more safety in applying this high-tech in their business. But nothing is perfect. The author mentioned in this article that before we choose cloud service, we should get to know some information about the hospitality software suppliers. As for me I concerned about whether they have an offline mode which can continue the business activities for a while when the internet disconnection happens. For example how could hotels make sure the check-in, check-out, and reservation activities go on successfully when something wrong with the internet. The second concern for me is how could I get my data back if I discontinue my service in certain provider. Hoteliers should have ways to protect their data and other business activities. Cloud computing is developing very quickly and it will benefit us a lot only when we get to know the right way to use it.
