Google Gains After Advertising Demand Helps Sales Top Estimates

October 14th, 2011

Google Inc. (GOOG), the world’s biggest Internet-search company, rose as much as 7.1 percent in extended trading yesterday after demand for online advertising vaulted third-quarter sales past analysts’ estimates.

Excluding revenue passed on to partner sites, sales rose to $7.51 billion, Mountain View, California-based Google said yesterday. That exceeded the $7.23 billion average of analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

Chief Executive Officer Larry Page, who succeeded Eric Schmidt in April, is benefiting from Google’s leadership in search advertising, even as the company pushes into new markets such as mobile, display and social networking. Google, which makes most of its money from search ads, should take 76 percent of the U.S. market this year, up from 74 percent in 2010 and 70 percent in 2009, according to research firm EMarketer Inc.

“The core business is the money pump,” said Colin Gillis, an analyst at BGC Partners LP who rates the stock a buy.

Google climbed as much as $39.44 to $598.43 in extended trading. Yesterday, the shares rose 1.9 percent on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The stock has dropped 5.9 percent this year.

Third-quarter net income climbed 26 percent to $2.73 billion, or $8.33 a share, from $2.17 billion, or $6.72, a year earlier. Profit, excluding some items, was $9.72 a share, beating the $8.76 average estimate.

Shift Online

The number of clicks on ads rose about 28 percent in the third quarter from the year-ago period, while the average cost per click increased approximately 5 percent, the company said.

“It’s the continual secular shift of people spending more online,” said Herman Leung, an analyst at Susquehanna International Group in San Francisco. “They’re benefiting from higher volume and higher click-through. Google’s implementing a lot of advertising improvements.”

Page is trying to fend off competition from Facebook Inc., the biggest social network, with a project called Google+. The service now has more than 40 million users, up from more than 10 million in July.

The company aims to offset increased spending by becoming more efficient, shuttering more than 20 businesses, Page said.

“Ever since taking over as CEO, I have focused much of my energy on increasing Google’s velocity and execution, and we’re beginning to see results,” he said during a call with analysts.

Page held steady on the pace of hiring in the period. Google added 2,585 employees, to finish the quarter at 31,353, a 9 percent increase from the previous quarter. Staffing increased 9.3 percent in the second quarter.

Market Share

Even with more competition from Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), Google picked up market share in the U.S., according to Sunnyvale, California-based Efficient Frontier Inc., which helps companies promote products online. Google had 82 percent of spending on search advertising in the third quarter, up from 81 percent in the two previous quarters.

Microsoft, which provides search and ad services for Yahoo! Inc.’s U.S. websites under a 10-year agreement, had 18 percent of spending, down from 19 percent in the previous two quarters, according to Efficient Frontier.

Google also has made gains in the number of Internet searches it handles. The company increased its U.S. market share to 65.3 percent in September from 64.8 percent in August, according to ComScore Inc. Yahoo remained No. 2, even as its share fell to 15.5 percent from 16.3 percent. Microsoft was unchanged at 14.7 percent.

Mobile Sales

Google’s Android software, meanwhile, has emerged as the biggest smartphone operating system, bolstered by HTC Corp. (2498), Samsung Electronics Co. and Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. adopting the software. Revenue from mobile advertising is on pace to reach $2.5 billion on an annual basis, Page said.

With the growth, Google and device makers have faced legal challenges from companies such as Oracle Corp. (ORCL) To bolster its patent lineup, Google said in August it planned to purchase Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion, its largest acquisition ever. Motorola Mobility brings more than 17,000 patents.

More than 190 million Android devices have been activated around the globe, Page said. Android continues to grow and expand, even as it comes under legal scrutiny, he said.

“We’re very excited about Android and we see our partners and the whole ecosystem continuing to grow hugely,” Page said. “And while there’s been lots of people trying to attack that and so on, we see absolutely no signs that that’s effective.”

R.I.P. Steve Jobs: a farewell tribute to a great American innovator

October 13th, 2011

Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder and former CEO, passed away on October 5 at the young age of 56 following a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

A true visionary, Jobs will be remembered as one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time. He co-founded Apple in 1976, introduced the first Macintosh computer in 1984, and after being fired in 1985 because of a feud with Apple executives, he went on to found companies like NeXT and Pixar Animation Studios.

Jobs eventually returned as the permanent CEO of Apple in 2000 and helped introduce some of the most popular consumer products of the 21st century, including the iMac, iPod, iTunes, MacBook, iPhone, and iPad.

Less than a decade ago, Apple fans were considered members of a cult. Today, Apple is the second most valuable company in the world only behind Exxon. The iPod is the most popular portable media player in the world, the iPhone is the most popular smartphone in the world, and the iPad is the most popular computer tablet in the world.

He has succeeded in creating consumer-friendly electronics that even the most technologically-inept users can operate. Even the poorest of Americans are fortunate enough to afford Apple products due to the innovation of Steve Jobs. The destitute poor in third-world countries are even beginning to see decade-old iPods and Macs and I’m sure there will be iPads popping up in these same third-world countries in the next ten years as well.

 

In 2008, George W. Bush signed into law a bill called the Trouble Asset Relief Protection that bailed out corporations like Goldman Sachs and Bank of America to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. Barack Obama passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 that cost taxpayers $787 billion. One of the biggest controversies in Washington today is the U.S. government’s decision in 2009 to provide a $535 million guaranteed loan to a company named Solyndra Corporation. Solyndra was touted by President Obama and promoted by Vice President Biden, and yet the company filed for bankruptcy this past September without paying back any of the $535 million of taxpayer money that the government loaned them. The President, senators, and congressmen are still thinking about spending more taxpayer money to bail out failing companies.

Steve Jobs and Apple present a stark contrast to today’s political and business climate. Upon returning to Apple in 1997, the company was worth a mere $2 billion. After just over a decade of Jobs’ management,

Apple is now worth a total of $350 billion. It’s odd that politicians seem more intent on convincing taxpaying citizens to support the government bailing out their favorite corporations rather than providing a business environment conducive to visionary entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs’ net worth at his time of death is estimated to be about $8 billion. Estate taxes will likely see $2 billion going to the federal government, the same federal government that treats money like it grows on trees. The federal government spends about $2 billion per hour. It’s sad to see a life of hard work be squandered in just a few hours.

Rest in peace Steve Jobs, the last of the great American innovators. He employed tens of thousands of people, created billions in profits for the second-biggest corporation in the world, introduced products into the marketplace at a low price used today for hundreds of millions of people, and he did it largely without any government help. He’ll go down in the history books with the likes of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. America can only hope for more people as great as Steve Jobs, but the future doesn’t look so bright.

Fix to outlook freezing while reading paypal emails

October 13th, 2011

A recent change in the PayPal notification messages can cause Outlook to hang for a couple of minutes. The issue is caused by an invalid picture reference in the message and the way Outlook deals with time-outs.

 

Background information

At the bottom of the message, there is a hidden tracking image. Instead of this image pointing to a web server, it is pointing to a non-existing network share. As it is pointing to a network share and not to a web server, Outlook’s “Internet picture blocking” functionality doesn’t kick in and tries to retrieve the content.

Obviously this fails, but Outlook is quite persistent in still trying to reach this network share and it takes up to a minute for it to time-out and stop trying. As this is being done in a foreground thread, it means you cannot use Outlook during this time and will display a “Not Responding” message in the title bar when you try it anyway.

Fixing the broken messages

PayPal is aware of this issue and the template should be corrected soon (if it hasn’t been already). As long as it hasn’t been fixed, you can disable the Reading Pane to prevent accidental selection of the message and cause another time-out of a minute.

As the issue is within the message itself, the issue won’t go away for PayPal messages which you have already received. Throwing away the broken messages would be one solution but if you need to keep the message, you can do the following;

  1. Disconnect yourself from the network by either unplugging your network cable, disconnecting yourself from the wireless network or by disabling your network adapter.
  2. Open the message in its own window via a double click; this should go quickly now.
  3. Place the message in Edit Mode;
    • Outlook 2003
      Edit-> Edit Message
    • Outlook 2007
      tab Message-> group Action-> Other Actions-> Edit message
    • Outlook 2010
      tab Message-> group Move-> Actions-> Edit Message
  4. If you get a prompt that Outlook will need to download external content, accept it. As you are disconnected, it won’t actually attempt to download anything.
  5. At the bottom of the message, you’ll see an e-mail reference number from PayPal. Note the space behind the last number.
    Place your cursor after this space and press Backspace twice.
    Or place your cursor directly after the last number of the reference number and press Delete twice.

    • The first time you press it, you’ll select the image which will show as a dot (see screenshot below).
    • The second time you press it will actually remove the image.
  6. Save and close the image.
  7. Reconnect to the network.

Remove the space behind the reference number to select the image, which
will show as a dot. Pressing Backspace again will remove the broken image.

Fixing a lot of broken messages at once

If you have a lot of broken PayPal message which you all need to keep, then you can also modify your HOSTS file to fix the issue.

  1. Start Notepad as an administrator.
    You can do this by right clicking on the Notepad shortcut in the Start Menu and choosing “Run as administrator”. If you don’t see this option, hold SHIFT while right clicking on it.
  2. Choose File-> Open… and open the following file;
    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
  3. Add the following line at the bottom.
    127.0.0.1        102.112.2o7.net
  4. Save the file and close Notepad.

Now all the bad requests for the tracking image will be directly rerouted back to your computer which rejects it and causing a time-out which is hardly noticeable.

Edited HOSTS file to redirect the broken PayPal image.

Outlook Hangs (stops responding) Opening Email Messages Sent from PayPal

October 13th, 2011

In just the last few days, users have started experiencing some issues with Outlook when opening messages sent from PayPal.

This is happening with the recent versions of Outlook, including Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2007.

Some of the indications of the problem include.

  • Outlook taking longer than normal to open.
  • Outlook with “Reading Pane” on
  • Outlook Stops Responding when clicking on an email from PayPal.
  • If you wait a long time, it will come good, and even show the email message.
  • If you are impatient and cancel out of outlook, your reading pane is gone when you next open it.

When loading Outlook you receive a message about and address: Contacting: \\102.112.207.net\b\ss\paypalglobal\1\G.4-NS

 

It appears that the cause of this is some malformed tracking cookies being sent from PayPal.

While it could be argued that Outlook should handle this invalid link much better than it does… We all know that Microsoft is responsible for Outlook, so really we should not expect too much in the way of “graceful error handling”. (After 20+ years of Windows system events, they still don’t have an online library of error codes and meanings.)

So what to do what to do?

First, I know for a fact that PayPal is aware of this issue, and while it is literally a 10 min fix for the right person, we know that finding the right person probably means contacting the dev team  and asking them to fix their crap!

Oh I have been doing this too long!

Really… what to do!

  1. Nothing… If you are patient when opening email messages from PayPal while this issue happens, then they will open.
  2. Delete all recent messages from PayPal permanently form both your inbox and deleted items.
  3. Turn off the reading pane in Outlook.
  4. Turn your Outlook into plain text preview

After PayPal fix the issue.

The invalid link when fixed will not fix messages already sent with the issue. So unless you permanently delete message with the problem, you will see the trouble each time outlook references them for reading. This is because the reference is totally invalid, not just temporarily down.

How to reset wordpress admin password?

June 16th, 2011

Just imagine.. You have a wordpress blog, and for some reason, you cannot login as admin user to your wordpress blog?

You tried the forget password utility, but dont get through the password reset feature and now clueless..

Then it might be time to change that information using WordPress’ database.

Even if you don’t have CPanel, you should have access to phpMyAdmin. It is a simple, but powerful, application that allows you control over your databases, and can be easily used to change all kinds of information stored in the MySQL databases it manages.

1) Login to your phpmyadmin and search for the database that holds your wordpress data. You can login to phpmyadmin as root user, or with the mysql user that has access to your databases.

2) A new window will most likely have opened. It will have two panes. On the left hand side you will have a list of databases. Click on the one related to the WordPress installation we are going to work with.

Look for a table called wp_users in the left hand pane. It is usually the last item in the list.

*Note: If your WordPress table prefix is not wp_ then you will be of course looking for your custom prefix user table. You can find your prefix in the wp-config.php file.

Click on the user table link, and in the right hand pane, the information will change. At the top there should be a few links. Click Browse.

It should then look something like the following image.

wordpress phpmyadmin

3) Now is the time to reset your password. Please remember, WordPress stores the passwords as MD5 hash. You will notice there is a field called user_pass. This is where the password is stored in WordPress. Find the user you want to edit, and click the pencil image next to the red X. This will allow us to edit the entry.

You will notice the password is strange, and not plain text. This is because for security reasons, as passwords are in MD5 has format.

We can’t just enter a normal text password, and should replace the MD5 hash of the password we don’t know with the MD5 hash of a password we do know.

To create an MD5 hash, I usually just search for “online MD5 hash” on Google, and come up with some great online tools for creating the result I need.

In such tools, I enter what I want the password to be, click a button to process it, and it spits out the MD5 hash that I want to enter in the user_pass field.

Click Go to save the change, and then log in to WordPress using your new password.

What is needed to start a reseller web hosting business?

June 1st, 2011

I generally try to write blog posts by picking a particular topic from several discussion forums.. Today saw a thread where someone said, he was not aware about any web hosting knowledge and wanted to start his own web hosting business…

Well.. for people who know about web hosting, for them this is not a big deal.. But if you try thinking about those who are not aware about web hosting industry, I believe the following article will help them to get an idea about this industry and about starting their own web hosting if they wish to..Reseller Hosting Investment

Few questions that a new person may have in mind are, how to go about or how to start a web hosting business?

The answer is quite simple, affordable and possible for almost everyone.. To start a web hosting business, you need not invest heavily from the very first day.. You do not have any client, you have less knowledge about this industry and limited technical knowledge about hosting aspects.. then why invest in bulk and repent later..

Better, start with reseller web hosting and gradually expand your business to your own web hosting business..

Benefits of starting as a reseller webhost:

1) Do you have enough capital to invest to purchase your own servers? 2) Do you have enough knowledge or staff to take care of those servers? 3) Do you have ample of time to take care of 24/7 support? 4) Do you have the capability to invest further to offer additional attractive features along with normal web hosting to your clients? 5) Do you have enough experience of dealing with web hosting in past?

If no, then why take the risk and make your life more complex..

Simply go for a reseller web hosting solution.. Be wise and choose a turn-key reseller web hosting plan from a company offering one.! Now the question is, what is turn-key reseller hosting?

The reseller web hosting that can be started in just a few minutes, right from the purchase of domain name to integrating it with a billing system and server and with a decent web design,  and that too in just a few minutes, is turn-key reseller hosting.

So while choosing your reseller host, you may need to think about few factors that will be affecting your reseller hosting business..

1) Is the chosen reseller web host is a reliable and reputed provider? If so, how long has he been in business? Is it a debt free company?

2) Do they offer private nameservers? (Private nameservers will hide your reseller host identity and project you as the real host before your clients).

3) If they offer private nameservers, is it a free or a paid feature?

4) What kind of control panel do they offer?

5) Do they offer overselling? (I would personally say, stay away from overselling. No unlimited thing exists in this world and overselled servers are over-stuffed servers having high server loads and poor performance).

6) Do they offer any kind of billing application for their reseller clients? (most companies offer them free of cost, allowing their resellers to build their reseller business in a day).

7) Do they offer SSL certificates? (if you have a billing system and cart, SSL will be needed to gain your clients confidence).

8) Do they offer end user support? (Since you have limited technical knowledge, cant afford to hire external support or if you do not have time to support your clients, why not choose a host that offers free end user support! That way they will take care of your clients on your behalf.)

9) Is the end user support completely white labelled? (Make sure your host has white labelled end user support. What if your client comes to know you are a reseller and your parent host is someone else! So make sure you choose a host with white labelled end user support and 100% private namesever offering host).

Well.. RSHosting has been offering reseller web hosting since years now and has gained as a reputation of reliable reseller web hosting provider across the globe. With the choice of US and UK servers, our clients can take the advantage of representing themselves as a host offering hosting on US and UK networks.

Are web hosting review websites fake websites?

May 31st, 2011

Thats a question that everyone must have thought of atleast once… Atleast the people who are in web hosting industry, will try to find if the web hosting review websites that exist, are fake websites?

Do they really publish honest reviews? Or why are there same companies listed on such websites.. The only thing is their sequence of listing will change, however the normal top companies will stay everywhere on top — no matter how bad customer support they have offered to their customers…

There are a few things that you will notice the same companies on top listing on such hosting review websites…

1) They earn by affiliate system and place the companies in top 10, who pay them the most of affiliate commission.

2) They avoid publishing bad reviews for such companies.. Infact, you will rarely find a place to submit a review on such websites.

3) Their displayed reviews are doubtful to authenticate.. So there is no guarantee if the review was submitted by an honest reviewer or client.

4) Such companies inspite of having top rankings on review websites, will always have a poor reputation on public forums, where people actually discuss their experience in public…

So I would recommend is, avoid such review websites, and try searching for honest reviews on public forums…

There are few websites that publish honest reviews, and one of them is http://freeindex.co.uk

So you can always trust the honesty of freeindex or other web hosting public forums, where people discuss their web hosting experience with several hosting companies publicly..

Hopefully this article helps you next time to make your right decision of choosing an honest host…

 

Earth headed for ‘Moonageddon’ in two weeks?

March 10th, 2011

In two weeks, the Earth could be headed for a big showdown according to some, for the Moon will be at its closest point to Earth in 18 years, an event that is known as a “lunar perigee”.

One astronomer, who has titled the event ”SuperMoon” has predicted that it may bring worrying disruptions to the Earth”s climate patterns.

Moon closest to earth

On March 19, the moon will be just 356,577 km (as opposed to 384,399 km on average ) away from Earth, an event that has Internet theorists talking about the possibility of extreme weather, earthquakes and volcanoes.

However, scientists have rubbished the theories.

“There will be no earthquakes or volcanoes unless they are to happen anyway,” news.com.au quoted Pete Wheeler of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy, as saying.

“(The Earth will experience) just a lower than usual low tide and a higher than usual high tide around the time of the event, but nothing to get excited about.”

But astronomer and lecturer David Reneke claims there”s more cause for alarm about the extent of human paranoia than any sort of impending apocalypse.

“If you try hard enough you can chronologically associate almost any natural disaster/event to anything in the night sky … comet, planet, sun,” he said.

“Remember in the past, planetary alignments were going to pull the sun apart. It didn”t. Astrologers draw a very long bow most times. Normal king tides are about all I would expect out of this SuperMoon prediction.”

On the other hand, Dr Victor Gostin, Planetary and Environmental Geoscientist at Adelaide University said there may be some correlation between near-equatorial large scale earthquakes and new and full moon situations.

“This is because the Earth-tides (analogous to ocean tides) may be the final trigger that sets off the earthquake,” he said.

Different types of Web Hosting explained for better understanding

February 22nd, 2011

Help needed choosing a web hosting for your website? Not sure what you should go for?

The below article will help you understand, what exactly you would require or suit your requirements in terms of web hosting for your website.

The web hosting industry has evolved a wide range of niche markets over the years. Starting from cheap shared web hosting to your own dedicated server, as well as all the hybrids in between, each type of web hosting presents its own set of advantages and disadvantages, both in terms of pricing and quality.

Shared Hosting – Cost Effective and Cheap, User friendly and Feature Rich
Whether you call it conventional, regular or normal hosting, shared hosting is the most common web hosting service on the market. In fact, a large majority of the websites you encounter online are running on this type of platform.

As the name implies, shared hosting is a service arrangement where you share bandwidth, disk space capacity and various network resources with other paying customers. The structure of this model equates into a low-cost solution that is typically easy to maintain for even the most inexperienced of users. Although the price is usually reasonable, these packages do not slack on power, as they come loaded with an arsenal of useful features. The economic value, simplicity and hassle-free aspect makes shared hosting a viable option for most individuals and small companies. People looking for their hobby websites, personal websites, or for their small business website, shared hosting is ideal solution for them to manage their website and their own company branded email accounts.

Reseller Hosting – Starting your own Web Hosting without actually investing into server and network hardware.
Our reseller hosting has emerged in recent times, providing entrepreneurs and small businesses with an opportunity to profit from the flourishing web hosting industry. As a reseller, you purchase a service plan from us equipped with a certain amount of disk storage, bandwidth and features. This gives you the ammunition you need to sell web hosting plans to customers looking to build their presence online. With the choice of our US and UK datacenters, you can offer US reseller hosting or UK reseller hosting, thus targetting the clients in repsective geographical areas.

What makes this type of arrangement so attractive is that you pay a flat fee and have the potential generate substantial income from your investment. By choosing RShosting as your reseller partner, a reseller account can run seamlessly and transparently enough to give you the presence of a large, established company. You also get free addons such as free Enom reseller account (where you can register and manage your own domains), free WHMCS billing system (industry leading billing system to manage your clients accounts), free RvSitebuilder (a sitebuilder tool to get your website ready in minutes), free private nameservers (your domain name servers so that your clients do not know, we are your parent host and you are our reseller), free End User support (while we managing your technical support and supporting your clients under YOUR company name, you can concentrate on sales)

VPS Hosting – Intermediate solution between shared hosting and dedicated hosting with Immense Power and Great Performance
A virtual private server, or VPS, represents a technology that is rapidly emerging in the web hosting industry. A VPS is created by software that partitions a single physical server to establish multiple virtual servers within it. Known as virtualization, this process results in a number of isolated environments with the ability to perform many of the same functions as an individual machine.

A virtual private server tends to provide more guaranteed resources, better performance and security than your typical shared platform at a price that is notably less expensive than a dedicated server. With these factors in mind, many view a VPS as the perfect compromise between shared and dedicated web hosting. RShosting has been offering such secure and reliable – managed VPS web hosting plans on our most powerful servers thus giving you the complete peace of mind for your VPS. All VPS come with free WHM/Cpanel control panels and free managed services.

Managed Dedicated Hosting – The Utmost in Control, Flexibility, and Responsibility
RSHosting managed dedicated web hosting is the exact opposite of the shared variety. Instead of sharing the server with other customers, the hardware is dedicated exclusively to your website needs. Since you are not forced to share resources, dedicated hosting can provide you with a superior level of control, flexibility and performance. This is an arrangement wherein you can choose your own operating system, install your own software applications, and incorporate the security mechanisms you feel will provide the server with the best protection. If you do not have administrative skills to manage your server, its not a problem, since we have been offering fully managed dedicated servers that come with proactive updates and montoring.  Our fully managed services aim to alleviate the complexities and technical challenges of managing a web server. Though server management is the main feature, other options range from web application and database administration to monitoring and extensive support. So even if you lack the technical abilities needed to handle a dedicated server, or do not have the time to fully immerse yourselves in all the management aspects, its we who take complete care of your servers and their security updates and monitoring.
