Google becomes Scholar

Google today release beta version of Scholar Search.

Google says, "We recognize the debt we owe to all those in academia whose work has made Google itself a reality and we hope to make Google Scholar as useful to this community as possible. We believe everyone should have a chance to stand on the shoulders of giants."

Even without scholar search, I use Google search alot for any publication. So, I think the seach results will be more refined now. When you do a scholar search, the results list the authors name, publication and the year of publication. So, I think this is the major difference on how the search result is rendered.

Yahoo takes on spam, boosts e-mail storage (CNET)

Though not as much as Google, Yahoo! is now offering 250 MB for it's mail storage up from 100 MB for it's free accounts. I think that's enough for most of the people out there. Apparently, Yahoo! didn't want to be behind Hotmail in storage area. Hotmail is offering 250 MB (I have no clue if anybody got this, but not me... I'm still using only 2 MB for my spam).
