Good news for MAC users. Microsoft has released a trial version of Office 2008 targeted to its MAC users. The Office 2008 suite includes applications such as Entourage, Excel, Messenger, PowerPoint and Word thus allowing its users to preparing a document, compiling a presentation, sending an email and so on.

The trial edition’s functionality is pretty much similar to the Standard edition. One thing to keep in mind is that the trial edition is only limited to a period 0f 30 days.

Its one thing that the general public do not have Live Search as their favorite and preferred search engine. It is quite a different thing when you come to know that even employees at Microsoft do not use Live Search for searching over the Internet, well most of the employees anyway.

According to a report from CNET, nearly half of company workers use Google and other search engines for searching the required information.

However, statistics show that for the month of February, Google and Live Search had almost equal share of 48 percent each. Well that is a positive sign or not.

Microsoft Senior Vice President regarding this stat stated:

I think some of that is predicated on us talking broadly about some great experiences and promoting it heavily, which is something I think we are going to do soon,

Google has disabled the upload and comments feature for the Korean version of its video portal “YouTube”. This decision was made by Google after the South Korean government announced a new law.

The law named ” The Cyber Defamation Law” demands sites who have 100,000 unique visitors or more to get the user to  provide their name and natioanl ID number whenever they upload files or leave comments.

While Google has clearly obeyed the law, they have also provided a trick to get around this law. One can easily overcome this barrier by changing the preferred nation from Korea to some other nation. So Korean users dont have to worry much about this restriction since they have an escape route defined to them by Google.
