Yahoo’s boldness was quite obvious in a letter to Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer, marked the latest twist in a struggle pitting two high-tech icons trying to create a more difficult confront to online search and advertising leader Google Inc.

The edgy struggle now appears to have reached a turning point after more than two months of generally behind-the-scenes manipulation.Ballmer heated up the issue on the weekend by setting April 26 a deadline for Yahoo to accept Microsoft’s offer.

If Yahoo’s board doesn’t change his mind,Ballmer threatened to decrease Microsoft bid’s and inquire Yahoo’s shareholders to change the 10 directors opposing a buyout in a “proxy” contest.

Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock and Chief Executive Jerry Yang, also a member of the company’s board, fired back Monday in a letter that condemned Ballmer for not doing more to advance the negotiations.According to Bostock and Yang, Ballmer has attended at least two of the informal meetings held between Microsoft and Yahoo.

However, the letter didn’t rule out further discussions as long as Ballmer is prepared to enhance the unwelcomed offer, which Yahoo first insisted in early February after its board without any difference of opinion concluded the bid not high enough.

Microsoft had no immediate response to the Yahoo letter

The letter didn’t identify how much Yahoo believes its value, but some analysts have gathered that Microsoft could afford to pay as much as $34 or $35 per share — about $50 billion — to end the talk without further hostility.

In their Monday letter, Bostock and Yang stated that Yahoo stockholders with major stakes in the company agree Microsoft’s bid isn’t high enough, particularly since the offer has decreased by more than $2 billion.

A lots of conspiracies and inquiries are being asked not only with the buyer of the Microsoft but also to the public, about which the majority of the business expertise and planners say that, a large amount of public has got the ambiguity about the authorizations’ of the Yahoo.

In the meanwhile, the spokesmen of the company denied all these facts and justifications of Yahoo’s bid as they commented very clearly that they are all the rumors and conspiracies against us that Microsoft would buy our shares and rights, it is not a point to think about Yahoo’s selling.Although there is no doubt about this reality to say that both the chief executive officers of the Yahoo and Microsoft has met twice to each other about the issue of bidding, as the Microsoft do not claim to Yahoo rather it tells to us that they are no gonna more fix at their technological versions, they want to enhance their technological blocks and for this they wanna keep touch with the yahoo on equal matured business dealings and basis.Ever since this bid has been launched the supporters and executives of yahoo are focusing on arranging meeting with various advance companies to really have a secure solution about such a big bid.

Microsoft is taking a time on this issue as the Yahoo company is daily recognizing the funs and shows about their fame and goodwill so as to prove the bid is quite low and it is not acceptable to Yahoo for giving up right now from this globe of internet.

Computers – key to storing data.

The arrival of the magic machine, computer has helped men immensely in storing information and data on any given subject. After the inception of computers in every field, document retrieval systems have become the primary focus. Information storage and retrieval systems were revolutionized with the invention of computers.

Documents are retrieved entirely by employing the use of titles or keywords, through document retrieval systems. Any word frequently used in the document can aid the search and retrieval of documents. Everyone associated with computers are striving to find an effective mode of information retrieval from various databases.

Information retrieval – a complex process:

The widespread use of computers in all fields was considered the key to paperless offices, with the option of storing enormous data in it. The popularity of internet was the key to knowledge retrieval from various sources. Automatic retrieval strategy online was devised to constitute a primary source of extracting relevant information online and discarding the non-relevant ones.

Information retrieval, online can be a very simple process at the superficial level. Search engines play a prominent role in making the information available to the masses. A person, using the search engines, types a query and the information stored in the databases is retrieved by him within a click of a button on the keyboard. Complexity of the matter is apparent from the fact that though the information in enormous amount is obtained, location of the right information necessitates the user to skim and scan through many documents, which is indeed difficult.

Online information or document retrieval is a complex process in terms of the relevance of the information that is presented to the user. The computer can aid accessing information on a particular subject but it may not always gather information that is ‘relevant’ to the user. The problem is the inability of a computer, however complex to decode and relate the information that is perfect and relevant to the user’s need. This scenario might change in the coming years but currently the process in impracticable.

Characterization:

Characterization indicates the scheme employed, when crafting a document. The document is designed to be available to the user, when a query, pertaining to the document is attempted by the user. Human indexers play a prominent role in characterizing documents to suit speedy retrieval of documents online. A human indexer, analyses the array of terms that can be used possibly by a user to retrieve a document that is wrought by the human indexer. Indexers employ and spread the terms across the entire document to suit the user’s need. Inadvertently he dictates the nature of the queries that pertain to the document. This proves to be detrimental with a machine like computer. With reference to the computers, the document’s relevance to a particular query needs an effective model, which quantifies the relevance of documents and the query.

Phases of online document retrieval:

The first phase is input in which the documents are stored, inclusive of ‘document representatives’. Document representatives are the list of words that are considered significant and relevant to the document, to evince a response to a query posed by the user through information retrieval systems. Failing to find the right information, the users might resort to using different terms, to retrieve the document online, sometimes. This might prove useful and detrimental depending on the characterization of the document. The next process is the classification and structuring of the information for information or document retrieval. This process is the proper retrieval function, wherein the query is responded to with information.

The final process is the process, which retrieves the documents for the user.
Measures of efficacy:

Efficiency of the document retrieval or information retrieval systems online is measured by two factors, the relevance of information and the volume of information available online. To retrieve a document online, people have always used natural language and the natural language processing technique can not be efficacious completely with computer that processes information in machine language. Analysis and deduction of information is done by humans, through reading and if this process is duplicated in the computers, the relevance of the information and the volume of information on a particular subject can be improved. Research and development units are functioning vigorously to figure out a novel method, to improve the performance of online document retrieval systems, to aid a sophisticated and improved access to information and knowledge for humans.
