I know that earlier I have said that Buzzword is great and questioned why is Zoho and Google and others are so fixated on using AJAX and so on. I have used nearly all sort of online word processors like Google Docs and Zoho Writer and Buzzword and others, I also was invited to try some private betas of other services. All have their pros and cons, but today I found out that Zoho Writer is the best.
I was helping a friend editing an essay, so there was big number of documents going back and forth, some from MS Office and some from Open Office and so on. On my Toshiba Qosmio G30 NoteBook I have not installed anything of this sort, I was depending on using an online application.
So when I started my browser Zoho Writer was not my first choice, a mistake I will never fall in again sure, anyway so after trying some of those web services, they were either slow or did not have all tools I wanted. So after all that horror and time wasting I “remembered” Zoho Writer, and you just do not know how thankful I am for doing so, Zoho Writer REALLY knows what you need in a word processor.
I was in a hurry so speed was an issue and Zoho was just amazing, fast and full of tools and the saving and exporting to many formats was so simple and hassle free. So If you are looking at doing some serious work USE ZOHO WRITER.

Opera filed a complaint with the European Commission against Microsoft to force it to make changes to Internet Explorer on Windows. Basically they want Microsoft to unbundle IE from windows or provide alternative browsers such as Opera and Firefox, Opera also wants Microsoft to make IE follow fundamental and open web standards.
I love Opera, no really I do, I used to use it as my main browser for a while and now I keep going back and forth using it and Firefox. And I RARELY use IE. And I understand what they mean by unbundling IE from windows, which is an old story, but anyway, and I am all with providing alternative web browsers.
Read more and watch Opera CTO Video after the jump…
In regard to IE following the open web standards, their argument is basically because IE has limitations and bugs in implementing the web technologies (XHTML, CSS, and DOM), and because IE is the most used browser developers are forced in make changes and tweaks to their websites to appear properly on IE. But what will happen? What do you want ?! You want the European Commission to rule that developers can only specific versions of those web technologies!!
What I see here is an angry/sad Opera because no one is using their browser, now maybe if they have been giving their browser for free from the start, things might have been different.
Here is the video of their CTO`talking about Opera’s antitrust complaint against Microsoft:

Well there were signs all over the net that there is a huge bidding war between Microsoft and Google and it seems Miscrosoft just wanted it more than anybody. The speculation was that who ever wins the bidding in the end will buy around 10% of Facebook, but the war ended with Microsoft paying $240 Million for a 1.6% stake in Facebook. Which makes Facebook overall value goes up to 15 freakin BILLION Dollars, $15 Billion, wow, although this year they have made only around $150 Million in revenue.
So what is the deal exactly, well Facebook gets allllot of cash, employ some new employees, expand to other countries and so on, for Microsoft, it will be selling ads that show up on Facebook outside the U.S and share the revenue with Facebook, btw Microsoft already sell ads for Facebook in the U.S.
Who should we congratulate? who is the real winner here ? only time will tell.
