Google Street View being driven out of Europe


This week, Google is planning to begin the process of photographing various parts of the UK for its service Street View, but the British group for the protection of privacy has already made ​​preliminary preparations for war, claiming that they are prepared to sue the Commissioner for information, reports The Inquirer.





Street View, certainly good, it's actually the first service, which made ​​it possible to ' digitize ' the streets at the level of human eyes, and besides, and a panorama of 360 degrees gives the most complete picture of the terrain. However, the service has already caused a lot of criticism in the U.S., after there were people who found themselves on the pictures to make the car Google. Really frustrating when you know that family and friends can find your photo, which you defecate on the side of the highway, topless sunbathing, or simply go out and strip bars.





Representatives of the British organization for the protection of privacy (BPI) believe that the actions of Google at least break the law on data protection. Simon Davies, a representative of one of these associations said: ...





By a representative of Google, it is said that it is impossible to obtain the consent of everyone who is present at their pictures and offered technology ' blurring ', the system itself determines the location of human faces in images and blurs the image. But recall that this solution can not be considered reliable, because the technology Google manages to mix horses with people.





This is known British human rights activists, who remind us that before Google gave a beautiful promise, which related to privacy. What can I say about the protection of user data, even if these employees the company has managed to lose. You can also recall the promises of technology development ' reset cookies' when buying Doubleclick. The deal was held for a year, but we have not seen any action on the part of the search giant.





Either way, the confrontation between the activists of the BPI and Google promises to be interesting. Anyway, European human rights activists and lawmakers have often successfully ' put in place ' conceited Internet giants, recently it on your own skin felt Microsoft.

On Rambler running a beta version of a new search


Users Rambler offered an experimental version of the new search engine. The new version of the search is open to testing for all visitors Rambler at:. http://beta. rambler. ru /.





Rambler Media continues to consistently implement a development strategy that focuses on three main areas that cause the greatest interest among Internet users: search, communications, news. The new version of the search - the first new product launched in the framework of the strategic development plan Rambler.

New search lets you search for information not only on the Internet, but also in specialized sources of information - news, catalog prices, Wikipedia, the compilation of product reviews, based on exchange rates, weather, horoscopes, jobs, the playbill, as well as to find the address on the map. Connecting the specialized sources of information will in many cases to obtain a more complete, accurate and relevant response to a request. This approach to the search combines all-embracing universal search on the Internet and specialized precision ( the so-called vertical) search.

The main innovation Rambler search is to use the concept of ' meta - relevance ' - m. e. the search engine tries to automatically detect the user's request and subject to give him, along with traditional web search results, structured links to the most relevant search results in specialized sources of information. For example, when asked directly address the user can see the address on the map at the request of weather - current weather in your city, at the request of the goods - the list price of this product with different vendors and a link to a compilation of reviews, if you have a query on the latest news - . Dr..

Arkady Moreinis, Director of Development and Development Rambler Media, says: ' In recent years, the amount of information on the Internet has increased significantly in the traditional approach to the methods of searching and presentation of search results has seen its inherent weaknesses. This prompted a number of leading search engines to look for new approaches to finding and presenting information, particularly in the area of ​​structured search. We keep up with the times and technology, working to create for our customers the most convenient and appropriate to their needs of products, and we think that they will be appreciated by the visitors to our website. Now users shows the experimental version of the new search, in the future it will be continually improved: will add new topics, to improve the relevance of meta- algorithms that use sophisticated mathematical models and analysis of user behavior '.

Another new version of search is submitted that the web search results are now illustrated by the most relevant in the opinion of the picture of the found document. Studies have shown that visual information is perceived by people more quickly than just text, so the search results, accompanied by images, in many cases easier to allow people to navigate in the list of results.

Another interesting feature of the new search Rambler - it's tight integration with the catalog TOP100 - one of the most popular directory of sites in RuNet. Users can now search for information on sites included in this directory is getting search results in a structured form of the catalog by category.

Mark Opzoomer, CEO of Rambler Media, says: ' Rambler consistently moving towards the realization of the declared policies will continue to offer the audience Runet modern, innovative products. beta site. rambler. ru will be a platform where users can see Runet new products and their eyes follow the development of technologies Rambler '.

Corporate culture, or how not to become a company with






The fashionable phrase. ... usually associated with large, very famous and very successful company. That said, ... However, as is often the case with the well-known phrases loud, very few people can give a clear definition of corporate culture as a phenomenon. Even fewer people can explain why it is needed.







Corporate Culture. - A set of internal (often unspoken and unwritten ) rules and laws, on which construction work and collaboration within the organization. This, if you will, the ...






It can be divided into two ...






Professional corporate culture reflects the general attitude toward work and achievement. For example, if the company tacitly accepted work as long as required to achieve the desired result in the desired time, it is unlikely to be delayed a man accustomed to work only during the specified contractual work day. And vice versa - if everyone in the organization of ...






The moral and ethical corporate culture reflects the relationship and the degree of ... The moral and ethical component of the internal organization of plants involves several levels of relationships:.








  • employer - employee.


  • supervisor - subordinate.


  • employee - an employee.


  • Company - Partners.


  • Company - Clients.


  • Company - competitors.


  • company - job seekers.








As in everyday situations completely, set out the internal culture of interaction. Here works the principle of similarity: attracted to each other just is not extreme, and ... The reason is quite simple: the risk of co-operation is minimized to if we can understand the thinking of his partner and anticipate his actions and reactions.






Corporate culture sets the pace of work and, consequently, affects its quality and results.






I must say that quite often there are situations when there is an island within an organization of corporate ... For example, the internal culture of IT department are often very different from the order within the company as a whole. However, this phenomenon can lead to internal conflicts, which does not contribute to the health of the organization itself.






As mentioned above, corporate culture has a direct impact on the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the success of the organization. I will take a few corporate culture that distinguish successful companies from the mediocre.








  • Result - oriented.


  • Client- oriented.


  • Teamwork (against edinolichnichestva ).


  • Continuous professional development.


  • Pay and promotion on merit and actual performance indicators.


  • ...


  • ....








Despite the seemingly abstract concepts, corporate culture has a very specific influence on the results of the company. First, the corporate culture - or the spirit of the company - is in any organization. And often (unfortunately) it happens that the corporate culture - a set of unwritten rules of survival - contrary to the rules of formal. A clear sign - persistent failure to comply with the requirements of employees, the company imposed on them. By and large, corporate culture - is the real situation in the organization.






Second, the unwritten laws stipulate the adoption or rejection of various initiatives, which in turn is not the least impact on performance. For example, to better control the quality of employees the company decides to enter the individual performance plans for individuals and a system of performance indicators. If the spirit of the company does not imply a focus on results, such an innovation will not cause much excitement among workers, and they ( consciously or not ) would be to sabotage the work of. Another example: there is no point in wasting time and energy on teambuilding, if unspoken rule work - pull the blanket over himself.
