Yahoo OneSearch coming to T-Mobile phones? According to InfoWorld, Marco Boerries, executive vice president and head of Yahoo’s Connected Life Division, let it slip that T-Mobile and Yahoo will be announcing a partnership to put the Yahoo OneSearch button on T-Mobile phones. If this rumor pans out, this is good news for Yahoo whose financial struggles are, well, numerous. Yahoo OneSearch may be Yahoo’s ray of hope as OneSearch is doing rather well in the mobile search market. AT&T also inked a deal with Yahoo back in September to bring OneSearch to AT&T handsets. Yahoo has an exclusive deal with O2 in the UK and...

Yahoo Search Takes Another Blow - Lead Engineer Leaving — And the rumor is he's going to Microsoft. Should that prove true, another reason to make that Yahoo/MSFT search deal happen. Details at All Things D: Yahoo–which has stuck to its guns by staying in the search business, even though many think it is a losing game and should be sold off to Microsoft–has lost a key engineer in that arena to, uh-oh, Microsoft. Sean Suchter, the VP of Search Technology at Yahoo, was also deeply involved in Yahoo’s efforts to open up its search platform, initiatives the company has touted aggressively as a bright spot in its not-so-lustrous...

Ballmer says “No” to a post-Yang Yahoo buyout Ending speculation that another Microsoft-Yahoo deal may be on the table after the exit of Jerry Yang, Steve Ballmer said at a Wednesday shareholder meeting “Let me be clear. We are done with all acquisition discussions with Yahoo.” His announcement sent Yahoo’s shares into a 20% nosedive, closing at $9.13 at days end. Ballmer did tell shareholders that Microsoft may still be open to a search deal with Yahoo but those slightly encouraging words did not soften the blow of his comments dismissing a possible acquisition. Is this really the death knell for a Microsoft-Yahoo merger? Maybe, maybe not....

Yahoo Glue Gives You Everything But the Web Search [Yahoo] Yahoo is rolling out a search service that aggregates an interesting mix of non-web search results across a page. Glue has been available through Yahoo India with customized results for about seven months, and the U.S. version offers a similar set of results boxes: Yahoo Shopping, blog search from Google (seriously), Yahoo Answers and Images, YouTube and Wikipedia pages. More relevant search types are shifted to the top when found. It's an intriguing, semi-open move, and a decent bookmark for grabbing broader information about a topic at a glance. Tell us your take on Glue in the comments. Yahoo!...

"Jewish settlers on Thursday spray-painted graffiti on a mosque slurring the Prophet Muhammad and defaced a Muslim cemetery, Israeli military officials said, threatening to worsen tensions in this volatile West Bank city." - Sean McBride
Israelis need to control jews as well, solving the Palestinian issue should be primary task of state. But lot of excuses and talk, no results. - imran
These settlers seem to represent the core engine driving neoconservatism, Christian Zionism, Likud and the Israeli government. Even the Israeli Labor Party has done little to oppose them. (In fact, settlements grew at a faster rate under Labor than Likud.) AIPAC's influence in the Democratic Party will probably insure that Barack Obama will do little to oppose the overall drift in the Mideast towards a massive conflagration. - Sean McBride
No US government is willing to be neutral on this issue, Bush senior tried tougher policy but failed. And Israel has no interest in solving this issue, this remains one of the ugliest conflict in modern history, waiting to explode. - imran
When Carter and Bush 41 attempted to oppose the settlements policy, they came under massive attack from the Israel lobby in the United States. AIPAC effectively neutered Obama before he won the nomination. These religious extremists are effectively in control of the American government. The mainstream media have kept the reality of the situation from penetrating the consciousness of most Americans. - Sean McBride
@ Sean: you have very good grasp on this issue, impressive. - imran
i am now as negative towards israel as i am against america .. i have no vested interest either way, just watching the way the minds of these countries work over long years, they cause more problems than they fix, year after year after year - gregory lent
"These religious extremists are effectively in control of the American government." Conspiracy wing-nut theory. Another would argue that oil rich Saudi Arabia is in control of the American government which prevents any criticism for fear of the Saudis cutting off the U.S. oil supply. Take a look at the access the Saudis have had to the White House over the past 8 years. - Al Pasternak
Saudi access is peanuts comparing to Israeli hold on GOP or USA, How many saudi citizens work in US Admin or white house, versus Israelis. - imran
The core values and concepts of America, which are based on Enlightenment ideals, are good, but the United States has been hijacked by religious fundamentalists who are bitter and determined enemies of everything America once stood for. Either they will be confronted, defeated and sent packing, or they will succeed in destroying America (and quite probably much of the rest of the world as well). What is astonishing is that the Democratic Party is as much under the grip of this political bloc as the Republican Party. The odds that Barack Obama will stand up to this lobby have to be considered nil at this point. - Sean McBride
"How many saudi citizens work in US Admin or white house, versus Israelis." Please tell me. Name names. Israelis only. Thanks. - Al Pasternak
Google them, dual citizens of israel/usa in usa govt. - imran
Show me the link, since you already know it. - Al Pasternak
Al - what exactly is your stake in the Mideast conflict? Do you have any ethnic, religious, familial or financial ties to either side? You come across as an emotional pro-Israel activist, like Noah David Simon, Jay Tannenbaum or Akiva Moskovitz. With regard to Israeli control of the American government: why hasn't the American government used its power to demand the removal of all Israeli settlements from the occupied territories? - Sean McBride
Al - isn't the biggest donor to the Democratic Party, Haim Saban, an Israeli citizen who has openly declared that Israel is the issue that he most cares about? Correct me if I am wrong. I've read that more than 50% of donations to the Democratic Party are from pro-Israel activists. - Sean McBride
Meanwhile head of home land security has Israeli passport :) - imran
Al - if Saudi influence is so great in America, why hasn't it been able to persuade the American government to use its power to remove all Israeli settlements in the occupied territories? - Sean McBride
Saudis cannot even buy state of art USA made air force equipment, forced to buy from france, uk, so much for influence. Saudi pilots refuse to fly Saudi 777/747 to usa due to abuse by New York based Israeli FBI, DHS.agents. - imran
Imran - "Saudi pilots refuse to fly Saudi 777/747...." Source? Looks like a sure way to lose your job at Saudi Arabian Airlines where 747s and 777s make up over 30% of the fleet http://www.saudiairlines.com/portal/site/saudiairlines/menuitem.d9a467d070ca6c65173ff63dc8f034a0/?vgnextoid=fdab9f6412852110VgnVCM1000008c0f430aRCRD - Al Pasternak
Al: My saudi friends fly 777 everyday, you have very poor knowledge on this subject, stick to something you know. Hint: Bokashi and canada has no say in foreign policy. - imran
Uh, you said it imran. If you are going to make an assertion that "Saudi pilots refuse to fly Saudi 777/747 to usa" [okay, I missed the last two words - regrets] then show me where this news comes from. Otherwise, its just hearsay/myth. - Al Pasternak
Al - you are not responding to most of my questions and points, which is fine, but I am noticing and drawing inferences. - Sean McBride
The people who wrote the graffiti and defaced a Muslim cemetery should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. All those who support their actions should be similarly charged. Is that clear enough? - Al Pasternak
Bokashi: I just went through your posts, you are nothing but Anti-Islam , Anti-Muslim, Hate lover. Shame on you. Now I see where you coming from. - imran
Al - that doesn't address several key questions. For one: why didn't the American government demand that Israel remove all settlements from the occupied territories decades ago? They are creating enormous problems both for Israel and the United States. Many Israeli leaders have admitted as much. - Sean McBride
Al - do you think the settlers are making friends or enemies for Israel in the enlightened West? Check out this Youtube video: British film crew threatened by Jewish settler in Hebron http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSAvaYY-y7Q - Sean McBride
Imran: Do you really know where I am coming from? You should read the Comments I make. Even Sean agreed with me in this post: http://friendfeed.com/e/208f0499-7606-4cc5-9580-b71578bcd048/The-Raw-Story-Muslims-Catholics-in-joint-call-for/ - Al Pasternak
Sean, I keep saying over and over that Israelis/Zionist/Jews should leave the West Bank but only when Israel has secure borders free from attack. Palestinians have legitimate grievances which can be solved by negotiation and compromise. However, if the Palestinian/Arab/Muslim leaders do not want to compromise, then Israel has right to prevent Hamas and Hezbollah etc. from achieving their stated goals. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp You agreed with this. - Al Pasternak

In fact, a third of the entire index is not even qualified to be in the index -- 186 stocks have market caps under $4 billion, the minimum value for consideration for S&P 500 membership. - Mitchell Tsai
Twenty-five stocks, or five percent of the index, don't make the $1 billion mark in market cap, and just 11 exceed the $100 billion level. - Mitchell Tsai
So far this year, the S&P 500 has plunged 45 percent. It is now worth just over $7 trillion, the index's lowest collective market value in 11 years. - Mitchell Tsai

Google Kills Lively Quickly — Just a few months ago, when Google launched its "Lively" 3D chat offering, I questioned Google's strategy, as it didn't seem to offer anything different or compelling. Some people here disagreed, and believed Google would be able to turn the service into something compelling, but that appears not to be. Since the launch, to be honest, I can't recall ever hearing about Lively again -- and had pretty much forgotten it existed. And, indeed, less than six months after launching it, Google has killed off Lively, admitting that the experiment was something of a failure. There seems to be a...
