Google: The God!

Today, Google is considered as The God! and Everybody needs Google in one or the other way and you can't imagine a single day without Google. People says that "You can get anything and everything from the Google which you need". From Google Search Engine to Google Android, Google provided best and made us to be depend on Google for everything. Also search engine Google is the closest humankind has ever come to directly experiencing an actual God(as typically defined). People rejects "supernatural Gods" because they are not scientifically provable but Google is :D and also Google exhibits many of the characteristics traditionally associated with such Deities and there is much more evidence in favor of Google's divinity than there is for the divinity of other more traditional Gods. If still you have any doubt, please click on this link and all your queries will be satisfied.

Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in March 1996 as a research project while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. The company was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998. Since then Google has made a progress which is amazing... which led it to the position where people do consider Google As God.


Google's plan was simply to create a search site that didn't suck. They had three new ideas:
1. Index more of the Web
2. Use links to rank search results
3. Have clean, simple web pages with unintrusive keyword-based ads.
They were determined to make a site that was good to use. No doubt there are great technical tricks within Google, but the overall plan was straightforward. And while they probably have bigger ambitions now, this alone brings them a billion dollars a year.

These are the products from google and all these products offer the best services which make our life really simple and too easy.
Google Search Engine(you can also add your sites to addurl), Gmail(Keyboard Shortcuts), Google Maps(also combined with Wikipedia to produce Wikimapia), Google Videos, Google news, Google blogs, Google Groups, Google Knol(i'm sure many people still don't know Google Knol :D), Google Directory, Google Labs, Google Moderator, Google Answers(retired now), Google Earth, Google Translator, Google Toolbar, Google Desktop, Google Fast Flip, Google Dictionary, Google Images and Image search and also Google Image upload i.e. PicasaWeb, Google Alerts, Google Notebook, Google Sketchup, Google PowerMeter, Google Finance, Google Script Converter, Google Image Swirl, Google Ads, Google Local Business center, Google Grants, Google Research, Google Bookmark, Google Voice, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Sites, Google Reader, Google Books, Google Product search, Google Pack, Google SMS Service, Google Guru, Google Talk, Google Chrome, Google Code and now Google Android aka Google OS, Google Wave and also real life products like Google Mobiles etc...Google is also creating a programming language "GO" which is supposed to compile like 'C' and program like 'Java', a transmission protocol called SPDY (speedy) that is supposed to make the internet twice as fast. (Which is it's final goal). If you are more interested in knowing all the Google products then here is the list of all Google products.

Advance search options in Google Provided even more easiness to life. To use Google's built-in calculator function, simply enter the calculation you'd like done into the search box. eg. enter "5*9+(sqrt 10)^3=" and you will get the direct solution :-) or if you want to use Google to convert between many different units of measurement of height, weight, and volume among many others. Just enter your desired conversion into the search box and it'll do the rest. eg enter "10.5 cm in inches" for conversion from cm to inches. Sometimes the best way to ask a question is to get Google to ‘fill in the blank’ by adding an asterisk (*) at the part of the sentence or question that you want finished into the Google search box like "Isaac Newton discovered *". you can get the more trick about Google search from here.

I am so much influenced by Google that i have written two lines for Google but these are in binary form... decode (if can't decode by urself, use online decoder) and enjoy

Wolfram Alpha and Google wave!!!





Today, the internet and things like Wolfram|Alpha and Google Wave made our life more easy.

Stephen Wolfram created the Wolfram|Alpha with the goal to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. In Wolfram|Alpha you can enter your question or calculation and Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and a growing collection of data to compute the answer which is made possible by the achievements of Mathematica and A New Kind of Science (NKS) or WolframScience and webMathematica. As of now, Wolfram|Alpha contains 10+ trillion pieces of data, 50,000+ types of algorithms and models, and linguistic capabilities for 1000+ domains. You can take tutorials about how to use WolframAlpha and also go through the WolframAlpha blog .

At the same time Google Wave provides almost real time chat with friends and colleagues and also provides a tool for collaboration where you can discuss about group projects, have brainstorming session and can work together using text, photos, videos, maps etc...and can also play interactive games... You can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add others at any point in the process. Playback feature provides more flexibility to rewind through messages. It has Innovative interface which attracts people towards this.
