Web 2.0 too much a challenge for Google?

2007-03-13T09:26:00.000+01:00

Is Web 2.0 Bad for Google? by Mark Simon, Monday, March 12, 2007SINCE THE START OF '07, Yahoo's price per share has jumped about 20%.

‘Godett lokte incident bij snack zelf uit’ 5 Feb, 2004, 6:57pm WILLEMSTAD — Anthony Godett, leider van de regeringspartij FOL, zou het incident vorige week bij de snack aan de Cabo Verdeweg zelf hebben uitgelokt. Hij zou in enigszins beschonken toestand provocerende uitlatingen hebben gedaan aan het adres van de politiefunctionarissen die deze avond controleerden op onder andere de aanwezigheid

Ingezonden stuk WAAR GAAT het naar toe met de Nederlandse Antillen? Deze vraag komt de laatste tijd regelmatig aan de orde, zowel in de pers als in gesprekken tussen mensen onderling. De achterliggende vraag is vaak: hoe heeft het zover kunnen komen? Laten we beginnen met vast te stellen dat het beleid van Nederland de afgelopen decennia weinig positieve impulsen heeft bevat. Als geheel kan het

ANP 4/2 Carnavalsoptocht Curaçao gevaar voor volksgezondheid De traditionele carnavalsoptocht die in februari weer door de Curaçaose straten trekt is een gevaar voor de volksgezondheid. De optocht gaat dwars door het gebied ten westen van de olieraffinaderij waar de luchtvervuiling de normen extreem overschrijdt. Dit meldt de Stichting Humanitaire Zorg Curaçao. Dat de uitstoot van de

Sint Maarten stapt toch in Antilliaanse regering

WILLEMSTAD (ANP) - De National Alliance van Sint Maarten stapt toch in het gelijmde kabinet-Godett. Vorige week twijfelde partijleider William Marlin nog over deelname aan de coalitie, maar na beraad binnen zijn partij doet hij toch mee. De regering steunt nu op een meerderheid van dertien van de 22 zetels in de Staten (het parlement). Dit heeft de Regeringsvoorlichtingsdienst dinsdag bevestigd

Gewetenloos

Een andere formulering kan ik niet zo snel bedenken voor een aantal bestuurders die menen de wet aan hun zijde te hebben. In elke beschaafde, zichzelf respecterende democratie, tot welke categorie de Antillen al sinds enige maanden niet meer behoren, stapt een zichzelf respecterend politicus zelf op of wordt hij tenminste door zijn partij aan de kant geschoven indien hij is veroordeeld. Blijven

Godett zag kans hen te inspireren, een bijna onmogelijke taak. Immers de groep is voor het grootste deel

IN de Amigoe van 24 januari wordt bericht over onenigheid onder staatsrechtsgeleerden met betrekking tot de staatsrechtelijke positie van de regering die in de huidige politieke situatie niet langer door een meerderheid in de Staten wordt gesteund. Uitgangspunt is de regel dat een kabinet (niet de regering) ontslag vraagt zodra moet worden vastgesteld dat meerderheidssteun ontbreekt. Het

‘Antilliaanse regering verder zonder Sint Maarten’ De Antilliaanse regering-Godett is gelijmd en kan verder regeren, maar vooralsnog zonder de steun van Sint Maarten. De National Alliance van William Marlin heeft de coalitie laten weten dat hij twijfelt. Hij wil bedenktijd om een aantal kwesties binnen zijn partij te bespreken. Welke kwesties dit zijn, wilde Marlin niet kwijt. De Democratische

Ondertitel: Antillen willen apart zaken doen met Nederland De Antilliaanse eilanden Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Saba en Sint Eustatius zien geen toekomst meer in het landsverband van de Nederlandse Antillen.

De Antilliaanse minister Komproe (Justitie) laat de procureur-generaal van de Nederlandse Antillen voorlopig met rust. Vorige week stuurde Komproe de procureur-generaal nog een brief waarin hij het vertrouwen in hem opzegde en aankondigde hem te willen ontslaan. Dit vanwege de geheime lunch die de top van het Openbaar Ministerie had met de Nederlandse ministers Donner (Justitie) en De Graaf (

Modeling the Chaos of Battle Imagine this scenario — Allied forces cling to a sliver of beachhead, seemingly a hair's breadth away from disaster, outgunned by a phalanx of enemy armor and artillery closing in for the kill. But the enemy's confidence fades in the static of jammed radio frequencies and broken supply lines. His army, large yet badly trained and led, disintegrates as the nimble

The "Disorder" Of Battle: Entropy-Based Warfare Modeling Creating disorder is still a highly effective strategy in modern warfare and today's military leaders can simulate combat situations and use entropy models as the basis for making decisions. During the American Revolution, General Greene conducted a mobile warfare campaign designed to disperse and disrupt the cohesive operations of

Ondertitel: Mobiliseer de berustende massa Bij veranderingen in organisaties is het veelal zo dat 'enkelen' lang nadenken over wat er moet gebeuren en dat vervolgens aan 'velen' vertellen, in de hoop dat zij volgzaam reageren. Dat is echter een paradigma dat in de huidige tijd geen recht meer doet aan de kwaliteiten van veel medewerkers. Het wordt tijd dat we dat onder ogen zien. Vijf

RUIM EEN half jaar nadat de gouverneur de opdracht gaf een nieuw kabinet te formeren dat kon rekenen op een ruime meerderheid van tweederde van de Staten en waarin alle vijf eilanden zijn vertegenwoordigd, is de steun voor de regering-Louisa-Godett weggesmolten tot slechts 11 van de 22 parlementszetels. Géén meerderheid dus. Daarmee is in feite de legitimiteit om te regeren, komen te vervallen.
