In mid-December, Google has detected a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure, which was originated from China and resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google. Besides Google, the attacks were also directed at some 34 companies around the world.

After that incident, the search giant has indicated that it will stop cooperating with Chinese Internet censorship and also planning to shut down its operations in the country altogether. The news has created much hype all over the world and the US accused China for thinning ‘internet freedom’ and asked the government to remove internet censorship. China reverted on the statement and said such statements could hurt relations between the world’s biggest and third biggest economies.

Cyber attacks

Google said that the primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. It is reported that only two Gmail accounts appear to have been accessed. Further, the company added that the Gmail accounts of U.S.-, China- and Europe-based people who advocates Chinese human rights development is appear to have been routinely accessed by third parties.

Google holds release of Android phones in China

To add oil in the fire, Google has indefinitely postponed two Android based phones via China Unicom. The smartphones were manufactured by Motorola and Samsung. Market analysts suggest that the development could create a big headache for its cellphone partners, especially Motorola Inc, which is betting on Google’s mobile software and China for better revenues. Motorola is selling about 10 percent of its phones in China. In contrast, Motorola launched its app store, SHOP4APPS, in China related to Android OS based apps.

Microsoft’s role in Google hack

After the Google hacking, a security software maker claimed that the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser may be the pathway for the attacks. The security firm added that these attacks have been directed via trusted source leading the target to fall for the trap and clicking a link or file.

Microsoft accepted the vulnerability in its IE6 and announced an out-of-cycle security update to fix a critical flaw in the browser.

China’s response

Chinese government officials said that all the companies working in the country had to abide the local laws. China counters Google’s threat by saying if it wants to operate in the country, it will require filtering its search results. Despite Google’s position, Microsoft and Yahoo said that they will continue operations in China.

Google had started the Chinese version of its search engine at the Google.com domain back in September, 2000. The search giant had also accepted the censorship of China in 2006 and launched Google.cn, a specialized version of its search site that filters out various results.

Discussion

Google knows that to leave market like China has been incredibly hard and will have potentially far-reaching consequences. In a response, Google has updated its Gmail to a more secure protocol. Earlier, it had offered HTTPS access to Gmail as an option, but now the feature has become the default. Also, it has been reported that the search giant will not leave China, but said that it would negotiate with the Chinese government over the next few weeks about the security concerns and other matters.

An interesting diversity in the gaming world of Britain has become apparent over the last couple of weeks.

Ubisoft’s ‘Just Dance’ has clinched first place as the best selling game in the UK for two weeks now, even triumphing over hugely successful ‘Modern Warfare 2.’

‘Just Dance’, a very active game involving exactly what you would expect from reading the title, came out eight weeks ago and has made its way slowly up the charts. With a cyber-generated dance coach to mimic, the game hopes to transform the player into a real dancer and with sensory technology, is much more advanced than the slightly dated ‘floor sensor’ dance games.

Last week it finally won the top spot over ‘Modern Warfare 2’, even though this endless army gunfight made a massive impact on its first day of release, selling 4.7 million copies worldwide. ‘Just Dance’ is incidentally Ubisoft’s first game to hold the top place for two weeks in a row since the original Assassins Creed.

‘Wii Fit Plus’ and ‘Wii Sports Resort’ also made the top five and this could indicate that there has been a real shift in the market in the video game world. Elsewhere on the chart, new entry ‘Dark Void’ from Capcom, a thrilling sci-fi adventure claims a distinguished 33rd in its first week of sale.

As new technology has emerged, transforming the inactive solitary games to energetic, group activities, it looks like the family is now willing to buy and play them.

Exercise is the fashionable incentive for these new consumers. So, therefore, the previously limited gaming market of teenage males looking for an outlet for their blood-lust has noticeably widened. Active games appeal to a more substantial group, as do ones involving music and dance, which all, crucially, appeal to female gamers.

This change has certainly manifested on the selling charts but the situation on is entirely different.

Hollywood hit ‘Avatar’ has made its way onto both charts, the game version of the film reaching 8th on the selling chart and 16th on the Blockbuster games and DVD rental site.

Gamesfrenzy and Gamesmonster show game charts, however, with a remarkable drift towards classic violence. ‘Assassin’s Creed II’ is at the top of both of these charts and ‘Left 4 Dead 2’ – another zombie-filled horror piece- in second place.

Boomerang rentals also sees these traditional and often violent games topping their ‘most rented’ chart, including ‘Gears of War 2’ and ‘Ghostbusters the Video Game.’

But it is questionable whether this difference means that ‘selling’ and ‘renting’ attract separate groups or whether are not exploiting the new game genres and their respective buyers.

While those that compare games rental websites are usually so-called ‘hardcore gamers’ the Wii widely advertises to these new markets, usually showing scenes of games being played in domestic harmony, so the campaign is definitely being covered from the selling side.

However, it looks like gaming and DVD rental websites have failed so far to pounce on this recent surge, their charts perhaps signifying a gap in their marketing. As the games industry explores new genres and approaches new markets, game rental sites will be forced to adapt themselves to attract these new consumers.

One of the most important things that every company must do when looking for and installing new construction software is to identify a “software champion.”

Regardless of the size of your company, you need to have one person designated to lead the quest to improve operations via new software. The software champion for your company must have a specific set of skills for maximum effectiveness.

Here are five traits that you want to look for in your company’s software champion:

Experience Implementing New Software – Evaluating and implementing new software is not an easy process and should not be undertaken by a novice with hopes to “learn on the fly.” Ideally, you want to find somebody in your company that has been involved in implementing new software. Their experience in the area will strengthen their ability to make good decisions on behalf of your organization. Also keep in mind that experience is somewhat relative. If individuals have experience implementing new software in a small, start up company, they may not be the best choice if you operate a large company that has years of data that must be transferred to the new system.

Familiararity with Company Processes – It is absolutely imperative that a software champion completely understands how your company operates and the processes that are used that will be impacted by the new software. Having this knowledge will allow them to know what kind of questions need to be asked of vendors during software demos and sales conversations.

Management Support – Since the software champion will be making decisions on behalf of the entire company, you must choose somebody that you trust. Selecting new software is a process that involves a lot of time and money. If you have a management team that is indecisive or unwilling to work off the recommendations provided by your software champion, you will be doomed to waste a lot of time and money in selecting new construction software. When the champion has the full support of management, you will not be as tempted to cancel the entire operation when the inevitable bumps in the road come up.

Peer Respect – The construction software champion will need to be able to get cooperation from peers within the organization. If you select somebody that is not respected by his or her co-workers, this process will be difficult if not impossible.

Change Advocate – Many people are averse to change. They try to avoid it when possible. Selecting and implementing new construction accounting software will be a big change and it is important that you select a champion that is comfortable spear-heading one of the biggest changes that the company will ever experience. Beyond the technical abilities to evaluate software, the champion must also possess the ability to work with personnel to make them feel comfortable with the new software. This requires an individual with empathy as well as a team-player mentality. Without a sense of participation and support from decision makers, employees will be hesitant to buy in to the new software and will make the process more expensive and longer than is necessary.

In conclusion, the software champion that you select to oversee your new construction software implementation will be one of the most critical aspects to the project’s success. Finding a person with the right background that will get support from management and peers will greatly increase your chances of success and improvement from the new software.
