8th of March every year marked as International Women’s Day! The above funny video was found on Youtube, hope you enjoy it and drive carefully in future!

What’s Happening on 2009 International Women’s Day?

On occasion of 2009 International Women’s Day the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that the specific health-care needs of women are often ignored or insufficiently taken into account in war situations.

In the world’s least developed countries, many of which are at war, women are 300 times more likely to die in childbirth or from pregnancy-related complications than in developed countries, according to UNICEF. While armed conflicts and other violence affect entire communities, women are particularly at risk of rape and other forms of sexual violence. Because of poor security conditions or because they have no means of transportation, it is often impossible for women to reach a health-care facility so as to give birth safely.

Something to share?

The International Women’s Day website by Aurora provides a free service to women around the world wanting to share and promote their IWD activity, videos, opinions and ideas. Feel free to submit gender-related items for the site that you consider relevant and useful.

Last but not least, wish every women have a Happy, Healthy & Confidence year!

Jerry Yang, co-founder of Yahoo and CEO since June 2007, is stepping down from the Chief Executive Officer position as soon as Yahoo find suitable person replace his position. Jerry Yang will be staying in the role of “Chief Yahoo” and maintaining a seat on the company’s board of directors.

In a statement released by Yahoo’s company Chairman Roy Bostock says: “Jerry and the Board have had an ongoing dialogue about succession timing, and we all agree that now is the right time to make the transition to a new CEO who can take the company to the next level. We are deeply grateful to Jerry for his many contributions as CEO over the past 18 months, and we are pleased that he plans to stay actively involved at Yahoo! as a key executive and member of the Board.”

After Yahoo rejecting Microsoft’s offer to acquire the company for $31/share earlier this year, Yahoo has slipped all the way to a recent low of $10.32 amidst its own internal problems and the broader economic slowdown, market believe this could be strong reason why Jerry Yang decide to leave the CEO position.

Yesterday Facebook announced that they have hit the 10 billion photo milestone. Due to every photo upload will generate 4 different image sizes, this make the 40 billion photo files, store on Facebook.

Doug Beaver provided some other interesting statistics including:

# 2-3 Terabytes of photos are being uploaded to facebook every day
# Facebook have just over one petabyte of photo storage
# they serve over 15 billion photo images per day
# Photo traffic now peaks at over 300,000 images served per second

Facebook is currently the largest online photo storage site, dominating even the highly popular photo sharing site: Flickr.

Jerry Says……

Now the question, will one day Facebook Photo apps take over other photo hosting company market like flickr, ImageShack and etc. ?

With this great photo upload statistic that facebook had, they should probably consider partner with some big boy in photo print industry like Kodak which allowed facebook users to direct print photos from their albums, this could be generate a not bad revenue for facebook too, don’t you think so?

Apple have finally launched Core 2 Duo based MacBook Pros onto the world market. MacBook Pros now available for sale from all major Apple websites including Australia, Apple’s greatest chance at gaining new Mac converts has arrived.

With Intel’s Core 2 Duo currently the most powerful mainstream processor, the MacBook Pro range available with either a 2.16Ghz or 2.33Ghz processor that Apple says is 39% faster than its predecessor. Intel says 40%, perhaps Apple wanted to be the tiniest bit more conservative!

Now with the added power, running OS X 10.4 (and soon 10.5), alongside XP and Vista will be smoother, more seamless and more enjoyable than ever.

According to a latest report from Cloudmark, up to 40 per cent of new Facebook profiles could be fictitious registrations (fake profile) created by spammers and malware writers to infect end users, security firm Cloudmark has warned.

Neil Cook, the European head of technology services at Cloudmark told vnunet.com “once set up with a portfolio of fake profiles, virus writers encourage users to click on links to malicious sites by including them on postings on other users’ walls or blogs.” Another tactic is to try and get users to visit their profile pages through friend requests or personal messages. The profile page then redirects visitors to a malware site.

Facebook is now suffering from the same challenges that plagued MySpace. MySpace had serious issues with spam early on which ended up driving many users away from the sight. This will continue to be one of Facebooks most important focuses over the coming months.

“Social networks are very collaborative so it’s great for spammers and virus writers to attack,” said Cook. “As soon as social networking took off, so did the attacks.”

Cook also predicted that SMS spam would eventually seep into the UK market, spreading from China and other Asian countries.

Jerry Say……

It really a headache for social networks to verified whether a social profile was genuine. Educating users of how to use social platform safely was very important and i think social networks should pick up this resposibility and educate their users, what to share and what not to share !

the following is the survey spotted in my facebook profile earlier today!
