Microsoft Office to get social after $1.2bn Yammer buy

Microsoft has bought the enterprise social network Yammer in a bid to boost the software giant's cloud selection.

The $1.2 billion (£769 million) cash deal was announce on Monday, confirming rumours of the looming acquisition. Yammer will continue to run as a standalone service, both it and Microsoft supposed, but Microsoft will push its acceptance as part of a range of cloud services that also include Office 365, SharePoint and Skype.

"As a Yammer client, you will continue to get a secure, private social network — delivered with the same focus on simplicity, modernism, and cross-platform experiences," Yammer chief David Sacks, who will continue to head up the company as part of Microsoft's Office division, supposed in a blog post. Indeed, Microsoft has previously experiment with this sort of thing, notably with its OfficeTalk trial a pair of years ago.

However, according to a account in The Seattle Times, Microsoft chief Steve Ballmer is particularly keen on the waged people nature of Yammer's acceptance.

"Consumerisation of IT is a trend which I think perhaps more than roughly any other company out there, Yammer has gotten true with its viral acceptance model," Ballmer was quote as saying on a discussion call. 
Yammer has itself been greedy in the recent past — in April it chosen up the UK firm oneDrum so as to add file-sharing capability to its product.

Egyptians have spoken

The second phase of the Egyptian revolution is on course with the statement that the leader of a Muslim Brotherhood affiliated party, Mr Mohammed Morsi, has won the country’s presidential election, beating a propose from the Hosni Mubarak era, former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq.

But whether Mr Morsi’s victory will turn out to be empty or a continuation of the revolution depends on the Egyptians themselves. After all, they caused the revolt that floored Mubarak, and they can deal with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces if it insist on wielding the real influence.

The council has already considerably emasculated the new president and insists on calling all the shots when a new constitution is drafted. All this could mean that the resist is far from over.

The chief worry, particularly in Western eyes, is that the Muslim Brotherhood might turn Egypt into a fundamentalist theocracy in the appearance of Iran. This is a genuine cause for be anxious.

But the normal Egyptian could not care less about the geopolitical position of Egypt in the Middle East; they fought extended and hard to remove a tyrant who had lorded it over them for 30 years, and all they want is freedom, jobs and food to eat.

No warning before jet shot down - Turkey

Turkey has accused Syria of shooting down a military plane in international airspace without warning and called a Nato meeting to discuss a answer to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Amid growing acrimony among the once-friendly neighbours, Syria said its forces had shot dead "terrorists" infiltrating its country from Turkey, which along with Western and Arab nations has backed the reason of Syrians fighting Assad.

Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu supposed the search for two missing pilots was still under way, in coordination with the Syrian authorities. He deprived of it was a "joint" operation.

He told state broadcaster TRT the plane had been clearly marked as Turkish and dismissed Syria's assertion it had not recognized the aircraft before opening flames.

Davutoglu supposed he also planned to set out Turkey's case before the United Nations Security Council where Western powers are seeking, in the face of Russian and Chinese antagonism, to push through a motion that could allow stronger measures alongside Assad. Moscow fears this could lead to military action that could weaken its interests in Syria.

What began as demonstrations alongside Assad developed last year into armed rebellion, tipping the country towards a sectarian public war, with thousands already killed crossways Syria.

Davutoglu supposed the jet was unarmed and had been on a solo mission to test domestic radar systems, but acknowledged it had temporarily crossed Syrian airspace 15 minutes before it was attacked. There was no "secret" constituent to its mission.

"Our plane was shot at a distance of 13 sea miles from Syria's border in global airspace," Davutoglu supposed.

"According to the radar imagery, our plane lost contact with headquarters after it was strike and because the pilot lost control, it crashed into Syrian waters after making irregular movements," he supposed.

The foreign ministry supposed Turkey knew the coordinates of the wreckage, 1,300 metres underwater, but had not found it yet.

Syria, formally at war with Israel and the target of Israeli air raids in the past, has supposed the plane was flying fast and low, just one kilometre off its coast when it was shot down as an unidentified intruder. It was only later on found to be Turkish.
