You Should Not Eat Eggs in Those Ways

In same places many people like to boil eggs with sugar. But eggs and the sugar together can make the amino acid in the egg protein become another substance that is hard for human stomach to digest, which can be harmful to your health.

Many people think that raw eggs are more nutrient than boiled eggs. They also think raw eggs have the functions of moistening lung and throat. But in fact eating raw eggs is not only healthy but also can make you infected by virus. The protein structure of raw eggs is compact and egg protein contains antitrypsin that is difficult to be absorbed by human body.

Pregnant women are not advised to eat a large number of eggs. It can increase the burden of liver and kidney. Generally speaking about 3 eggs is enough for pregnant women.

It is believed that eggs contain high cholesterol level. So the elderly should not eat eggs. But this thought isn’t right. Egg yolk is rich in lecithin which can make fat and cholesterol very petty. In turn those substances can be easily taken in by body.

Eggs are not advised to be boiled for a long time. And eggs should not be eaten with soybean milk together.

The Living Habits That Can Easily Lead to Heart Diseases

We all know that sitting for a long time and eating and drinking so much are bad for your hearts. But there are still many habits that you may ignore that can damage your hearts too.

Lonely people should pay attention to heart diseases. They are more likely to be involved in heart diseases. The research results show that loneness can decrease people's immunity and make their blood pressure high. Also it can make people feel stressful that can result in depression. So it increases the possibility of getting heart diseases and stroke.

Balding people are also more likely to get heart diseases. Research finds that people whose hair is easy to drop get heart diseases 40 percent higher than ordinary people. Balding has something to do with the secretion of testicular hormone. And testicular hormone can affect the health of heart cells.

People who live around airport and noisy town take the risk of having a high possibility of getting heart diseases. Not having breakfast often can increase the risk of getting heart disease. A survey from a university in Australia proves that people who don’t have breakfast are inclined to be fat and have high cholesterol level, which are all factors that can lead to heart diseases.

Qihoo 360's Business Model isn’t Freemium

First we have to clarify the concept of freemium. The so-called freemium is one kind of business model that provides the main or basic function of the products or services freely but charges for the value-added functions of the products or services.

The first person to introduce the concept of freemium is venture capitalist Fred Wilson. He first said about this business concept that freemium provides free services in order to obtain a large number of users and then charges for value-added function or enhanced edition of the services from the users. He took Skype, Flickr, Trillian, Newsgator, Box.net and Webroot for example.

In China the most typical freemium is QQ, which provides chat, groups, file transmission, voice call and video call freely, but charges for QQshow and every kind of privileges of membership.

So this kind of business model must contain two requirements. One is to provide the same product or service to the non-paying and paying users. The second is the value-added function is for ordinary users but not companies or enterprise.

Now let us analyze the so-called freemium of Qihoo 360. It provides safety service to users and charges websites traffic from companies. So we can't call this business model freemium. The Qihoo 360's business model is the same as Baidu.com and Hao123.com. And all of the Qihoo 360's products and services can't add value-added functions that it can charge for. And Apple's App Store is not freemium.

E-Business Giants in China Remove Their Ads on Baidu.Com and Quit Baidu.Com Promotion

Baidu.com is the largest search engine in China and its search market portion has increased a lot especially after Google's quit. Just the same as Google, its main revenue comes from ads. But recently many advertisers announced that they would remove ads on Baidu.com, including Newegg.com, Dhgate.com and Dangdang.com.

Baidu.com has achieved a lot in Chinese online ads market. Because of the roaring ads price and low input-output ratio many e-business companies are unable to stand anymore. A few days ago Dangdang.com published on its website public notice writing that it would stop advertising on Baidu.com completely that includes brand zone and keywords promotion. It also added that it would not stop Baidu.com from collecting its websites. The CEO of Dangdang.com said that the reason was monopolistic Baidu.com manipulated the search results arbitrarily and didn’t respect intellectual property rights. And the CEO of 360buy.com also wrote on his micro blog to criticize Baidu.com.

There is no official response from Baidu.com when those companies decided to remove ads on Baidu.com.

Big e-business companies have the ability to promote themselves in other ways, but small and medium-sized companies must depend on Baidu.com promotion and ads. A staff from a group purchase website told that because its competitor bought the keyword of its company's name, every time users search its company's name they would be lead to competitor's website. So he said that they also were forced to advertise on Baidu.com.

360buy.Com CEO Criticizes Baidu.Com for Selling the Same Keyword to Many Advertisers

In 8th April, 360buy.com CEO Liu Qiangdong wrote in his micro blog to express his discontent. He wrote that, "I just searched Jingdong (keyword) on Baidu.com, but I found that this keyword was sold to eight competitors. This is piracy." He also added that Baidu can earn 15 million RMB by selling this keyword and 360buy.com would remove its advertisements on Baidu.

Because Baidu.com has sold the same keyword to many companies who compete with each other, many e-business companies and other companies have announced that they would not advertise on Baidu.com.

Besides this problem Baidu has received many other criticisms. Recently Baidu has been accused of providing articles, books that are copyright. And Baidu.com has seized 75.5 percent of the Chinese searching market and now has released its Box Computing which has been criticized for leading users to its own sites or other sites they want. Many analysts pointed out that Box Computing could influence many video and literature websites which may result in monopoly and marginalizing many small websites.

But some net citizens comment that it is common for companies to buy their competitors' keyword which would lead users to their own websites. And many found that at the beginning 360buy.com also competed with other companies in the same way. And many observers say this situation will continue for a long time without laws to regulate it.

As of now 360buy.com CEO Liu Qiangdong has deleted his words on his micro blog and Baidu.com also correct its searching results.

Online Group Purchase in China

After the success of Groupon.com, group purchase attracts more and more attention in China. Statistics show that there are 3,265 online group purchase e-business websites as of March, 2011. And Groupon.cn completely copies the business style of Groupon.com. Why this online business model becomes so popular in China? Will it succeed and last for a long time?

The popularity of online group purchase is not strange. We mainly follow the way of America on the internet development. With the success of micro blogs we have many internet giants who provided their own micro blogs services.

This business model can bring benefits to consumers, e-business websites and suppliers or wholesalers.

Besides those benefits we should not ignore the disadvantages of this group purchase model. Some disadvantages are obvious. Consumers can't have a completely control of the goods or services that they buy from the websites, the quality and after-sale services. And as to online group purchase platforms they can't have a good understanding of the true demands of the consumers. They can't get the specific locations and tastes of the consumers. And they also can't control the goods quality and after-sale services. The consumers' problems can't be solved timely.

Now we can only conclude that the group purchase model is extensive style. Consumers only choose goods passively. And to a large extent suppliers and platforms are passive in this business model. Whether this business model can succeed and last for a long time, only time will tell.

Kai-Fu Lee: Why Larry Page Is Tailor-made for the CEO of Google

Kai-Fu Lee, former vice global CEO of Microsoft and Google and CEO of Google Greater China Group and now focusing on his innovation works, wrote in his micro blog about his opinions about Larry Page becoming the CEO of Google.

Larry Page, the associated creator of Google, has become Google's new CEO. And Kai-Fu Lee thinks Page is tailor-made for the position for his foresight and bold decision making. He also adds that Page's introverted personality will be disadvantageous.

Acquiring Android proved Page's foresight. And he dares to dream and making bold decisions, which can avoid organization rigidity. Also he has a good understanding of Google's products and attaches importance on users. The inner products and technology teams like him and give Page full support.

Kai-Fu Lee also points out some disadvantages of Page, his poor communication skills for example. And Page only likes to do the things that he loves. He will stuff his ears and go to his emails when it comes to things about government, public relations and marketing. He really needs a partner to help him deal with things from outside.

Some foreign presses have the view that Page will face two consequences; one is that he will succeed like Jobs, or he will share the fate of former CEO of Yahoo!, Jerry Yang.

What Has Gmail Changed Email and the Internet?

Today is April Fools' Day. Today is Gmail's birthday. Seven years ago Google announced that it would provide email service. And everyone thought it was a joke. But on the April Fools' Day seven years ago, Google published its email service: Gmail, which shocked everybody. Influenced and led by Gmail, other email service and some other internet services have changed.

Before Gmail, email' storage capacity is very small, which is measured by MB. But with the emergency of Gmail, email's storage comes into the age of GB. JavaScript technology was just used to pop up dialog box and display the rolling words on status bar firstly. But now it becomes an important part of Ajax technology which is used widely on the internet. In Gmail mails are organized by dialogue. But in the past each mail was organized as single one. And it introduced Label into email, which is more useful than file folder. We often see some disturbing ads in the email, but we can see related ads in Gmail. Before email was just used to send and receive mails, but now we can chat via email and the third-party applications can be set up in the email. And now it is easy to find mails seven years ago.

We can conclude that Gmail is an evolutionary product and it brings convenience to us and changes our living and internet habits.
