Google goes to the Skies.

Google recently made headlines for its Google map feature that provides GPS (Global Positioning System).However its main drawback was that it was dependent on the number of towers
installed by your local telecoms company.The lesser the number of towers the more error prone would be Google Maps.
Google is all set to change that.According to Wall Street Journal, Google is in talks with
Space Data Corp—a company that provides balloon-based wireless networks.The only problem is that the balloons don't survive more than 24 hours.
So the next time you see a balloon with a Google Logo don't' be surprised.

Do we need so much space?

The e-mail as we know it brought a revolution in the internet.
No longer you had to write messages on paper, you can just type it and
send it via the internet.This happened about 10 years ago.

But with the advent of broadband connections Mail providers like Yahoo,
Google and Hotmail have started giving their customers phenomenal storage.
But do we need so much space?.

A basic Yahoo mail account offers you unlimited storage.A Google account
has over 2 Gbs space.( Google is continuously adding few mbs every minute , if you
want proof just look at the last line when you are signing into a Google account).

But you can send a file of size about 10 Mbs . If you are offering
unlimited storage you should allow a file at least 100Mbs to be sent.

The internet is getting congested with videos, flash etc.the rich companies will
buy more servers and continue to service more and more customers.

But a time will come when today's networks will get completely congested and an era where you had to wait for minutes for a Yahoo page to load will come back.Now that's something to worry about.


What you will do with unlimited storage if you can't access
your account?

The reason behind Google's success in advertising.....

Today everybody knows that Google is the leader in online advertising.But did you ever stopped and wondered why that happened?
The simple answer to that Google was willing to let common website publishers who had little knowledge in basic html to have a say in what add formats and type of advertisements they wanted.
This made Google's Adsense program program quite famous among website owners after
the company took over Blogger , it also allowed bloggers to earn money.
The motto of Google was simple:
" Earn and let Earn" (" DON'T BE EVIL is Google's official motto).

So when others companies followed the Google way, Google was already way ahead in the market share.
Google's endeavors will always be a success , as long it ensures participation from common people like you and me.

Google Not Pleased with Microsoft's Yahoo Bid.

Google is certainly not pleased with Microsoft's bid for Yahoo.This is what the search giant had to say about the bid on it's official Blog:

So Microsoft's hostile bid for Yahoo! raises troubling questions. This is about more than simply a financial transaction, one company taking over another. It's about preserving the underlying principles of the Internet: openness and innovation.

Could Microsoft now attempt to exert the same sort of inappropriate and illegal influence over the Internet that it did with the PC? While the Internet rewards competitive innovation, Microsoft has frequently sought to establish proprietary monopolies -- and then leverage its dominance into new, adjacent markets.

To add to that:

This hostile bid was announced on Friday, so there is plenty of time for these questions to be thoroughly addressed. We take Internet openness, choice and innovation seriously. They are the core of our culture. We believe that the interests of Internet users come first -- and should come first -- as the merits of this proposed acquisition are examined and alternatives explored.

Google certainly does not want Yahoo to join forces with Microsoft.............
