Marissa Mayer, who will lead the superwoman Yahoo!

And 'in the news and now the titles that speak of her current pregnancy is wasted. We're talking about one of the most powerful women in the world (Fortune magazine included it among the top 50). This is Marissa Mayer, the engineer who tries to "save", rather to raise Yahoo!

E 'was appointed CEO a few days and will merely underline the fact that she is pregnant and give birth in October. Well, beyond this curiosity with a taste of gossip, there's more. At just 37 years old already has a career full of successes.

She graduated from Stanford, was the first woman to join the Google leadership (that counts), opposite Larry Page and Sergey Brin. He has participated in important projects such as Google News, Google Images, Gmail, and becoming vice-president of many successful products company.

Despite everything, however, this is not enough for her professional life. He was looking for something more, perhaps a more authoritarian. E 'was satisfied after 13 years of residence, not by Google but by Yahoo!

The Sunnyvale company has had to pay several errors of judgment. When Microsoft wanted to buy it, its value was around 44 billion. Currently, we are talking about half the price and is destined to go down even if no one were to take action where needed. But Mayer knows his stuff and seems to have already thought of everything, even trimming a jab at his old firm from which it was "fairly easy "go away.

This new adventure is full of unknowns. The engineer will focus on the flagships of Yahoo!, ie email, finance and sports, while addressing possible new engagements. It will require a dedicated staff and great experience to bring back the old giant in vogue. The aim is to forget the farewell is the former CEO Scott Thompson due to falsification of the curriculum is the founder Jerry Yang . Moreover, fierce competition and the problems of Facebook in court they are only adding fuel to the fire.

She who must turn it off has all the credentials to do so. All that remains is whether Yahoo! also adopt logic similar to Google. The battle, meanwhile, has already begun.

Connection: Why Meyer Yahoo ideal candidate for the CEO

"Connection" magazine online edition today published a signed article, said Stephen Levy (Steven Levy), Google executive Marissa Mayer (Marissa Mayer) the ideal candidate for Yahoo CEO. The article pointed out that Meyer has plenty of energy, but more importantly, have a strong determination, she was CEO of Yahoo select the standard, such as a high degree of technical ability, product-oriented, familiar with the Internet, as well as has charisma to inspire their followers and so on.

 

The following is the full text of this article:

Marisa Meyer will begin to start working as Yahoo CEO (Artesyn Technologies with map)

The time is 10:30 pm Beijing's long day is over. Time by about 25 people attended the party has ended, this gathering is carried out by Google in Beijing, "gourmet" Kai-fu Lee selected a hotel. Travelers in the group - that is, the young "by-product managers, they have been selected as the future leaders of Google - and I hope to find a club to dance, but others only want to go to the hotel to sleep. When he was a Google executive Marissa Mayer (Marissa Mayer) also took part in this trip, she noted that such a situation, then suddenly stood up and published a lot of speech.

She supported the proposal going to the club, do not agree to return to the hotel to sleep. She said, those who do not want to go dancing with her and Kai-fu Lee to go with a traditional tea house sit. Finally, they do so, although some people keep the face of elegant ceramic teacup nap.

Of course, the nap of those do not include Meyer, she is the twenty-Google employees - from yesterday has become the new CEO of Yahoo - has been, she is energetic and achievements Premium people. Even in his early thirties, when her energy is still more than she was 10 new people is more abundant. However, more striking is her determination. As a reporter for that world tour accompanied by Meyer, former Wisconsin cheerleader, later transforming itself into Internet idol of women was most impressed by things. Meyer has an ability that she can rely on the judgment of their own intelligence quickly to priorities, in the heart of the data external to the calculus, and then make a decision, and confidently declared that the action steps.

Of course, she also has other talents, for the thousands of millions of users will be able to get as evidenced by dozens of products from Google. As the person in charge of search products, she has been involved collected from Gmail to the "ten blue links" a variety of product development process. When Larry Page (Larry Page) first thought of scanning all the books in the world, and then made available to any user can access the Internet, it is Meyer in the process of testing to scan a page open book, to identify the most voluminous of digital books need to spend much time.

Not all of her efforts have achieved success (online health information platform Google Health has never before received a healthy audience). Sometimes, her wealthy individuals, heroic style makes colleagues down the wrong path. (Google employees Highway No. 59 Doug Edwards (Doug Edwards), his memoirs, he would be Meier counted in the management of tougher opponents.) And there is definitely disappointing, and that is when Page last year took over as CEO of Google, he did not select the Meyer into the Senior Product Assistant "A" team. Meyer's character she has not caught the mood of depression, but engaged in a new position as supervisor of the mapping and localization services, and recently excited wave has just completed a new product.

Now, she will take advantage of their acquired skills in internal Yahoo to use their own determination. She and Yahoo both sides, this option makes sense for things. If you want Yahoo jumper ideal leader, then the description made by the candidates will be largely Meyer is similar to: a high degree of technical ability, product-oriented, familiar with the Internet, as well as have the charisma to inspire his followers.

Meyer is an excellent candidate for the leadership. When I first met her, it may be a decade ago, when I was impressed with not only her intelligence, while she explained Google is engaged in what work capacity (two of Google co-founder and little patience to do that). Over time, she has increasingly become the mouthpiece of the company before the public. As one of the company's key employees, authoritative speeches on the value of the company. This is very natural, because she is helping Google create the value of one.

Meyer and Google integration so deep that she is like the company's "primary colors". When the opportunity to redefine one of the Yahoo Internet giant, she will choose to seize this opportunity, this is not surprising, although the company is facing great difficulties. Familiar with Meyer's people know that one day she will become the CEO of a company.

Monday Yahoo announced the appointment of Meyer as CEO, I have a brief dialogue with her. I asked, in which Google experience she will bring Yahoo, and she immediately gave an answer. Concern for the user. "She said. "There are so many things to get Yahoo distraction, and therefore have to make people feel pleased and encouraged by the product is a very important thing." Since recent years, Yahoo has been more distracted by too many areas, rather than letting the user satisfaction. Starting today, Meyer will have the opportunity to change all that.

The changes made by Meyer in his career reminds me of another thing about that global journey. I had to participate in the journey of young managers did an informal survey, ask them to work for Google in the next five years, it will be the future prospects of this company, what kind of speculation, but No one sure way to answer it. When I took this question to ask Meyer (then we are living in Israel), she seemed calm. In fact, she told me that Google's future prospects will be positive, because this company's DNA will be spread throughout the Silicon Valley, so that everyone can benefit from.

Ironically, nearly five years now just from that conversation, those by-products manager, most people have to leave Google, only a few people to stay in this company. The problem is that I have not asked at that time, Meyer will leave Google. Now she really want to leave, we will focus on Google's DNA will be able to do for Yahoo.

Tests of Chrome 17, Opera 11, Firefox 10, Internet Explorer 9 and Safari 5

Just five days ago by ZDNet with Techmeme conducted performance tests of the latest versions of browsers: Chrome 17, Opera 11, Firefox 10, Internet Explorer 9 and Safari 5. Test results, as stressed by ZDNet, should not be a deciding factor when choosing a browser, but the results ever say that at the present time is popular in the market and why.

• Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2,5 GHz / 6MB L2 Cache
• Memory: 4 GB
• Graphics Card: Integrated Nvidia GTX 260 with 896 MB of memory

Please note that not all tests, bigger is better. first test: SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark test prepared by Mozilla and computes only the processing speed of Java scripts on the page in the interaction with the browser. What is less than the value of this test, the better browser get the job done.

Second test: V8 Benchmark

After Megaupload many other sharing sites close or change the type of service! FileSonic the first!

It is unclear whether what is happening at this time is only an effect caused by the closure of the last few days that Megaupload has "scared" to many sites that offer similar services, but it is a fact that many spaces are closing filehosting or by changing their "strategy".

The first was FileSonic , famous and widespread file sharing system that has virtually shut down preventing uploads of files (still access to personal files like) as shown in the image above.

While we see a close other, the remaining sites, or at least most of them, have changed the terms and conditions of use indicating that those responsible for the uploads are the users themselves. Moreover, in many cases, have been eliminated movies, music and content copyright their shared servers.

MegaUpload closes? Here are 14 options for uploading files

MegaUpload has been closed a few days ago and there seems no possibility of return at the time for one of the world's most popular platforms. But the file-sharing is not done, there are at least 14 alternative sites that can meet your needs.

MegaUpload boasted 50 million users per day and accounted for 5% of all Internet traffic . Many are looking for a way to store and share files. Here is a short list of 14 sites that will fill the hole left by the sudden break down of remembering MegaUpload multiupload.com according to as the best for uploading to multiple sites.

RapidShare: MegaUpload like, allows users to upload files of unlimited size. There are also storage limits, but the files are automatically deleted after a certain period of time. Users who wish to use RapidShare as cloud storage can subscribe to RapidPro for about € 29.9 (RapidShare is based in Switzerland, so there should be no problem) for 150 days.

MediaFire : an abridged version of RapidShare, MediaFire allows free users to upload any file type, with a maximum of 2 GB and upload the files will be deleted after a certain period of time. Users can upgrade to a Pro account for $ 9 a month.

Dropbox : a popular, robust cloud storage service. Dropbox provides users with 2 GB of free storage, and lets you share files with anyone using a public folder. Users can upgrade to 50GB for $ 10 per month, or 100GB for $ 20 a month.

Box like Dropbox, Box is primarily a cloud storage service. Users have 5 GB available but can only upload files of 25 MB or smaller.

YouSendIt:   offers 2GB of free storage. The files can then be shared by e-mail, but only five per month for the free version.

Minus : one of the easiest ever. Allows users who sign up to release files up to 2GB and offers users up to 50 GB of free storage.

Amazon CloudDrive :   offers 5GB of free storage, and can be upgraded to 20GB at a cost of about $ 1 per gigabyte per year (making it by far one of the least expensive). The maximum file size is 2 GB. The biggest drawback? It does not allow file sharing (unless it is given the password Amazon, of course).

MicrosoftSkyDrive : Completely free, SkyDrive offers users 25 GB of free storage, and the ability to share files with others via e-mail. It 'must have a Hotmail (MSN or other).

There are other lesser known but equally valid solutions. Here is a brief list:

SugarSync

Oron

Deposit Files

FilePost

FileSonic

WUpload
