GOOGLE AND APPLE!!

Google is expected to pay Apple $US1 billion in 2014 to keep Google.com as the default search engine on iOS devices like the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, according to Morgan Stanley.
The financial services firm came to the figure in a report titled “The Next Google is Google” on Friday after taking a closer look at how Google makes and spends money in the mobile space.
Morgan Stanley analyst Scott Devitt basesthe figure on the fact that Google and Apple - noted by many as “frenemies” - have a deal in place which sees Apple reap a certain amount of money per device sold with Google.com as the default search engine.
Mr Devitt estimates the cost Google has been paying to Apple per device has been growing year-on-year and that so too has the number of iOS devices Apple has sold. Because of this, he estimates that Apple will in 2014 be raking in about $US1 billion from Google for the privilege of keeping Google.com as iOS's default search engine ahead of rivals Bing and Yahoo.
The deal Google has with Apple is similar to one it has with the makers of the Opera and Mozilla web browsers, which both have Google.com as the default search engine. According to Morgan Stanley, the Mozilla Foundation is expected to get $US400 million in 2014 in its deal with Google.
One of the reasons Google sees value in having its search engine as the default on iOS devices is because, according to AppleInsider calculations, about 80 per cent of the search giant's smartphone-search profits come from Apple devices, with only 20 per cent coming from Google Android devices. The profits come from people clicking on Google ads on their smartphones.
Whether the Apple-Google deal continues into the future - considering Apple recently removed Google as its default mapping application on iOS and replaced it with its own, which has been ridiculed by many - remains to be seen. But given $US1 billion is at stake, there's a fair chance Apple may have an incentive to keep it in place, given it doesn't yet own its own search engine.

how make a good blog post!!

Most of us write blog for very many different reasons, but the sole purpose stands on the fact that we want to gain some attraction and popularity. The best way to do that is to be the best at what you do. The art of writing a famous blog is not an easy task, it takes time and patience, it is so because blogs are  one of the fastest-growing means of mass communication, they have gained a lot of attention since the 2000 and they are a now becoming a serious rival for traditional media like newspaper and other mass media. So here the few tips that I think will result in a good blog post if followed thoroughly: 1.      As the old saying goes “plan well before you do anything”, first  choose what type of blog you want to create. Have a rock solid idea about your main theme. The main success of the blog lies in the fact that you should consider your blog as an extension of yourself. Your blog identifies who you are. It exposes the person who you are on ...
