Bing agreement with Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha and Bing the two companies reached an agreement to allow direct Bing show Wolfram Alpha search results. Bing With a market share growth and cooperation with Yahoo search, Bing has been made in the preliminary results. However, Bing and earlier known as the Google killer Wolfram Alpha reached an agreement Bing directly in the search results show Alpha.
Alpha is the first so-called intelligent search engine, of course, it is only the strengths of scientific computing and data mining statistics. But soon, in the Bing, you can count on the points and drawing function, and quality of the box is not Google computing (http://www.google.com/squared) can be compared. Here you can see examples of direct: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=int% 282x + dx% 29
Bing is not known how it will mark the return of the results from the Alpha, but it is certain that, Bing engine of the United States has become increasingly more support. More at a disadvantage to start the company and Google fight together. However, more competition will only lead to scientific and technological progress, the ultimate beneficiaries or users.
Soon, you will be able to use Bing.com in the computational complexity of the formula.

VIA Technologies, Inc. the first time to enter the e Dell server market supply chain
VIA processors for the first time into the second-largest personal computer maker Dell (Dell) supply chain, Dell’s new low-power server decided to use VIA’s Nano processor, 400 U.S. dollars into the following low-cost server market.
This is achieved, following VIA Technologies, Inc. Hewlett-Packard, Samsung and other brand factory processor orders, again in the first-line brands breakthrough customer base. This is the first time, VIA processor server market. Analysts said that Dell servers using the new low-power VIA 1.3GHz, 1.6GHz version of Nano processor, a virtual lock to provide the hosting service Web hosting company; mutually taste test the product, it is the first time VIA server market for the near future processor products a major breakthrough in the layout .
It is worth noting that Intel has always been a server processor and ultra-wai site, Dell this low-level server product sales, if opened, follow the layout of the VIA will be low-level server market to help.
VIA Technologies, Inc. as a result of the net value of below 5 yuan per share, was to enter the full delivery of shares, still to be added for the constituent stocks of MSCI; Analysts said that VIA processor in the global market share, although only 1%, but if up to 5% to 6%, will be able to cross the break-even point, start to turn a profit.
VIA is the acquisition of National Semiconductor processor sector to enter the field of processors, due to brain drain during the integration, sales slump. Compared with rival ultra-Granville Intel, VIA processor industry in recent years about 1% of market share to 2%.
However, VIA Technologies, Inc. relied on low-cost low-power and competitive advantages, have won the first-line since last year, factory orders for the brand, Hewlett-Packard last year on the use of VIA C7-M processor to launch low-cost computer, this is the first VIA Technologies, Inc. Hewlett-Packard entered the mainstream Notebook Product Line; However, Hewlett-Packard computer and back to the next generation of low-priced Intel processor.
VIA Technologies, Inc. launched last year, low-power processors, the new Nano, because of product performance and power better than the previous generation of products; Samsung for the first time the use of VIA processor used in the 12-inch notebook product line, mainly Intel customers only when strictly power of the Atom processor can be used in 7-inch to 10-inch products, which will make Samsung products in favor of VIA.
Dell to enter the VIA supply chain, access to low-level server market. Analysts believe that this server price of about 400 U.S. dollars, only a fraction of the price of ordinary number of servers, performance is also weak, but the VIA processor architecture so that the server to maintain low power consumption and low-cost, but the order of the initial revenue contribution of VIA Technologies limited.

His work “is not in order to intercept a specific virus, but for each of the programs on your computer into a separate virtual operating system, in order to prevent theft of any harmful procedures, or to engage in espionage. Virus will become isolated and unable to perform their code.
