http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/31/delicious-20-launches-really-it-totally-launched/

I hear that Delicious2.0 will be launched.

I hear that the speed, the retrieval(the performance of search), and the design had improved according to the article.

I want to pay attention though it is still too unfamiliar service in Japan(Delicious has heard only the name).

Google To Launch Venture Fund(July 30, 2008 TechCrunch)

The WSJ is reporting that Google is set to launch a venture fund to give it the option of investing in startups instead of just flat out buying them.

Google has purchased the start-up immediately up to now.

However, why is the venture capital established this time?

What is the necessity for the indirect investment?

This point is interesting for me.

According to the news, I heard that Japanese longevity became the longest.

According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, it seems to be a great factor that the mortality rate improved it.

How To Lose Your Cuil 20 Seconds After Launch (July 29, 2008 TechCrunch)

The hype cycle now lasts less than a day. Take yesterday’s over-hyped launch  of stealth search startup Cuil , which was quickly followed by a backlash when everyone realized that it was selling a bill of goods. This was entirely the company’s own fault. It pre-briefed every blogger and tech journalist on the planet, but didn’t allow anyone to actually test the search engine before the launch.

A lot of criticisms are drawn to Cuil of a new search engine.

It is a criticism to the Web search result.

A lot of bloggers and journalist should have been expecting it of a new search engine.

Having advertised it to the blogger and the journalist all over the world came to cause a lot of criticisms oppositely.

And, this news comes to spread all over the world.

I especially feel the heat recently.

The temperature reached 39 degrees in Gifu Prefecture Tajimi City in Japan the other day, and it became the number one heat this year.

There are 30-degree or more temperature also in the Japanese whole country.

Are the heat measures not to consider done?

The most much take care is Hyperthermia.

There are a lot of people who become Hyperthermia and fell this year.

It is said that Hyperthermia will happen because moisture and salinity in the inside of the body decrease by sweating, and the temperature rises.

The following symptoms appear to Hyperthermia.

• Heat convulsion.
• Headache.
• Dizziness.
• Nausea etc.

In addition, the function of the liver decreases when the symptom of Hyperthermia deteriorates.

In the worst case, there seems to be fear of the death, too.

When going out, it is important to make it avoid direct sunlight with the hat and the umbrella as Hyperthermia measures, and to do the moisture replenishment.

We must take care about the child and the senior citizen.

Copy and Paste Finally Coming to the iPhone. Sort Of. (July 28, 2008 TechCrunch)

MagicPad, a new application from Proximi that is currently waiting for approval on Apple’s App Store, is finally making copy and paste a reality on the iPhone.

At last, it seems to have achieved copy & paste of the function that the user who used iPhone had hoped most.

However, I hear that copy & paste cannot be done on iPhone freely yet.

Why is mounting the function of copy & paste late?

I think that Apple might be worried what beautiful shape of it express the function of copy & paste on the touch screen of iPhone.

Cuil Exits Stealth Mode With A Massive Search Engine(July 27, 2008 TechCrunch)

Menlo Park based Cuil will launch later this evening with an index of 120 billion web pages, making them arguably the most comprehensive search engine on the web (Google doesn’t disclose the size of their index, although they claim to know about a trillion unique web pages) (Update: see our very early testing here).

I hear that Cuil will launch.
How do you advance by Cuil though Powerset was purchased by Microsoft the other day?
Is Cuil does advance in the independent path or purchased?
It is interesting.
