According to foreign media reports, the news that Google will open stores this year. These stores operate, the operation will be fully done by the search giant. Reports that Google will opened the first store at the end of this year. Because the company’s hardware brands now have a certain size, search engine Giants believe that lack of stores do not allow consumers to experience before you make your purchase decision. Google’s ongoing cooperation with a number of British and American retailer, named a number of stores. Alleged new stores are operated by Google itself.

Reports also said that this decision is to look into how to sell “Google glasses” when this product. The wearable device is not cheap, the products of “explorers” prototype in advance last year, for $ 1500. After the input of large amounts of funds for research and development, and Google realize that they need to promote products directly to users.

After reports said that Google plans to open a European headquarters in Dublin retail shop. But Google in December last year to clarify the rumors, said the company has no plans to become a retailer.

Opening retail stores ideas will undoubtedly be logical. Google has a great effort by Nexus products to build your own brand, let alone sell hardware products directly on the official shop Play Store.

For Google’s competitors in the mobile market, Apple has opened stores in several countries. As of August 2012, Apple has had 395 import stores, 2011 store sales as high as $ 16 billion, according to America’s top retail sales per unit area.

According to foreign media reports, Google said they had in the fight against the site account stolen in action was a huge victory. In 2011, as of now, spam has been compromised Google’s number of users has dropped by 99.7%. It is reported that Google beginning in 2010 to this protracted war has developed state of the art security protocols. Today’s cybercriminals are using to steal user account password and then keep sending spam.

Google security engineer Mike Hearn pointed out that, since many users use the same password across multiple accounts, so once one of them an account password is stolen, it also means that several other exposures. Hearn said they sometimes throughout the day, you can see millions of Google accounts stolen.

In a threat analysis network system developed by Google, they have found more than 120 kinds of unofficial finds logon method.

Hearn also stressed that while Google has developed a protection system, but it is recommended that users create strong passwords to protect your account security.

On February 20, Google released above the Youtube “through Google glasses feels the world” videos. Last summer, Google launched Google spectacles of Explorer versions (Explorer), aimed at developers and early adopters.

France publishers announced that they have reached a ground-breaking online content use agreement with Google. But their counterparts in the rest of Europe, France caved in too easily on the Internet giant. This month, France signed the agreement President François hollande and Schmidt, Chairman of Google. Schmidt said that publishers and Google nervous relationship breakthroughs, and may become the models of other countries.

Under the deal, Google agreed to establish within three years a 60 million euro (about US $ 80 million) Fund of funds, to help publishers develop their digital departments. Both sides also pledged to deepen business cooperation, using Google’s online tool for difficult to cope with declining print revenue publishers to generate more online revenue.

But the online business to representatives of newspaper and magazine publishers, as well as a variety of other news sites France group, in its most important demand: that Google and other search engines and news “aggregators” should begin to pay for their content on the links made concessions.

Google maintains that its links are for publishers by directing traffic to their Web site services and is strongly opposed to any change to the principle of free links. Which were concerns by European members of the Publishers Association, based in Brussels, has been active in promoting this fundamental change in the relationship between publishers and Google lobbying group criticized France publishers are allowed to decide and sign commercial agreement has no legal status.

Publishers Association, Executive Director of anjila·miersiweide (Angela Mills Wade), said the agreement “could not solve the persistent problem of unauthorized repeat use and commercial use of the contents of and therefore unable to establish sustainable business models for online news media and ensure its sustainable financial certainty of investment required for quality content or legal redress mechanisms. ”

Germany publishers can not see the matter, Germany newspaper publishers association spokeswoman Anya·pasika (Anja Pasquay) said: “it is clear that France’s position is not our favorite. This is not Germany solution. “For Google to share billions of euros on advertising revenues, Germany had been rushed in the front line.

Under the agreement, Google says it will help publishers to more effectively use its digital advertising services, including AdSense, AdMob and Ad Exchange. Publishers are already using these services for free, it is not clear how to derive more revenue; both said that this part of the agreement remained confidential, because they are still consulting subsidiary terms and conditions.

More about the Innovation Fund projects. Publishers will submit proposals to the Fund, the Fund will be in Google’s engineers are selected with the participation of project financing and development. Google’s Copyright Policy Manager ximeng·molisen (Simon Morrison), said: “the idea is, for France that inject innovation into the sector. ”

So far, France publishers have struggled to make income from advertising or any other online source. Both sides did not disclose the deal could bring new revenue estimates. Natali·kelin, Chairman of the publishers of the news magazine Le Nouvel Observateur (Nathalie Collin) expressed the view that the interim body established 160 years digital business news Web site total revenues of only 70 million euros.

While Google did not disclose it in France’s annual revenues, but analysts estimated at about 1.5 billion euros. Colin admitted agreement negotiated on behalf of publishers has been criticized, saying it was “a compromise”. But, she says, to deal with things rather than with faster Google fought for years, their hopes may or may not help on the legislative implementation of better.

She said, “is part of the are very important to us to recognize the value of our content, this agreement gives us some recognition. Some argue it makes us dependent on Google. Want to work next on the network does not rely on Google is not realistic. We are dependent on Google. ”

In France an agreement announced a few weeks ago, Google had just reconciled with Belgium publishers for more than 6 years of legal proceedings, commitments of the agreement reached between the parties, promote each other’s services–while France’s agreement, both sides did not disclose the amount of revenue. Elsewhere in Europe, publishers said that is not enough. In several other European countries, including Italy, and Austria and Switzerland, they had begun under Germany’s proposal to study the possibility of legislation.

European Publishers Association said in a statement it was “support in Germany and other countries members of the rapid development in their countries in urgent need of legislation allows publishers to replication Publishers news aggregators and search engines charge a fee. ”

A few weeks ago, Google hacker Conference was held in San Francisco and New York. However this became the term “optical Assembly”, is built around Google launched Google goggles, organized the game invitation. According to foreign media reports, has been signed by a number of the developers of Google goggles development project can be in two days time the glasses and use company is developing application interfaces (API).

Ultimately, Google goggles has identified more than 80 kinds of applications. Google said it has eight teams won Conference Awards: the prize is a free piece of eyewear browser (Google I/O alpha version of booking for $ 1500. ）

Last month, Google will be the device to the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing and lists the device equipped with a wireless network card 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g, support WiFi wireless, and equipped with a Bluetooth module 4.0+LE.

However, many people through its creating saierji·Bulin (Serge Brin) knowledge of the equipment. Reason for this is that these days, many people saw him with Google goggles to take the New York subway.

At the same time, Google is trying to in the United States built store, Google goggles or a store promoting the new device to the user. Google’s management believes that, before you buy that potential customers need to personally try Google glasses, they will not buy.

Hedge fund manager ailikejiekesen (Eric Jackson) posted on Twitter, Google goggles (Google Glass) also need to be improved, would make the wearer feel headache. Jackson has been met in San Francisco technology company executives and venture capitalists, he wrote on Twitter: “some experiment with Google goggles risks investor said to me this week, Google goggles is still not very good, it makes the wearer feel headache. ”

Although this is only the words, but the negative evaluation is different from before Google glasses. Well-known technology blog site before TheVerge also published an article named qiaoxituobosiji (Josh Topolsky) review article, but that article is just Google tested a tuobosiji spectacle came to the conclusion after a few hours.

Due to the newness of the account, while any of the new products has just unveiled appear to be new and exciting. Now most people don’t know how to work Google goggles is also unclear whether always hanging in front of a display screen will have adverse effects on human vision. If Google glasses make the wearer feel a headache, it is also very possible.

Google app store Google Play in without permission of the user cases, will pay users to disclose personal information to the application developer. According to Australia’s one-application developer Dan Nolan (Dan Nolan) revealed that Google had sent him to buy his applications of the user’s name, address, and email address, and this information is sufficient to enable him to find and harass users who leave negative comments. Nolan was upgraded in the near future when paying customers information in his “merchant account” found in personal information.

Nolan said that the key to this thing is that Google has not been applied to purchase the license and developer without sharing this information. “This is Google’s major failures of supervision. In any case, I should not be purchased I can apply a user’s personal information, unless they choose to do so, and they are well aware that I will receive the information. “Nolan wrote in his blog on Tuesday.

“This is Google’s privacy a major issue, it should be repaired immediately. “He added.

Nolan provided Google Android application to Play the user’s personal information is “Paul’s eloquence” (Paul Keating Insult Generator), which is a slot software, imitating Australia Paul Keating, former Prime Minister (Paul Keating) speaking style. The Prime Minister is known for the belt political figures.

Nolan said he was not sure whether Google will also free the application user’s disclosure of personal information to developers, but he added that paying users to disclose personal information to developers can override the global scope of the problem. By contrast, Nolan said Apple simply sales volume of applications sent to developers.

“If you purchase an application on the Google Play, even if you later cancel the order, I have access to your e-mail address, home address, and your full name. “Nolan said.

As of this release, Google has yet to respond to the matter.

Google terms of service file of the Play and did not address issues related to the information about the share paying customers and developers. However, the articles make it clear that paying customers email and address information to share and magazine publisher.

Google’s privacy protection regulations, in “how we use the collected information” part Google make it clear that, Google’s service providers may share a user’s personal information, but does not include online advertising services provider Double-Click. Double-Click “will obtain your consent before using your information, while others are not doing. ”
