Yahoo Glue Vs Google. Yahoo Edges Google Out..

I just wrote about BSNL site hacking.

To see the buzz about that news on Internet, I tried searching it on two major search engine, namely Google and yahoo.

There what I see is really shocking, I said shocking because, I saw yahoo showing me some thing that's really unusual and I can clearly see Google far behind yahoo in search results.

1) Search "gujarat bsnl" on Google.

Here I see that, Google shows normal search result that I used to see always, no fancy thing about that.

2) Search "gujarat bsnl" on Yahoo (India).

Now see the difference, yahoo is showing same site but with different Title.

it's the same title that was used by hackers.

now I got some questions.

1) does this mean that yahoo has got more recent results for my search query then Google !!

2) Is this an extra care taken by Google by not including hacked site in their search index?

think about it............

p.s. By the way Yahoo Glue pages seems more informative and helpful then just plain search results.

Crystal Report controls gets locked in VS2003 IDE, How TO?

I encountered a strange problem recently while working on a Crystal Report in my ASP.Net project.

The Project I'm working on is developed in VS2003 in framework 1.1  and i was using VS2003 IDE to modify crystal report file.

when today i opened the crystal report file in VS2003 IDE, i see that the controls on my reports are locked !!!! I Cannot move, resize or add new controls. All I can do was to change the text in a text control.

this took me mad for a while, and i was astonished.  i mean what could have i done wrong ?

but after sometime, i got to know the problem. this is how it occurred to be ...

If you open a crystal report file in VS2003 IDE without opening that solution or web project, you cant (!!) change or modify the file.

so must open the solution first and then open the file from the solution explorer itself, in order to do some changes there !!

nice way to trouble our life...... thanks gates (who recommends windows !!) uncle.

Another Search Engine at horizon, Its called Powerset.

Powerset is launched today, is a new kid in town where searching is everybody's hobby (or rather business i should say).

I remember Last time i went thru it's site, it seem promising, and today when i took a test ride, it seems fundamentally strong. I said fundamentally 'coz it has to do lot more in order to stand firm in the search engine space which is dominated by Google mainly and other few notable players including yahoo,msn,ask...

there seems people noticing and even comparing it with Google (OMG !!) but it's all happening.

at present it's searching wiki pages, but will see more action soon, hopefully.
