“Google Inc. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt will hit the campaign trail this week on behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, signaling Mr. Schmidt’s push for a greater voice in politics while giving the Obama campaign a boost from a highly desirable constituency…”

Note though that Schmidt made it clear that Google was NEUTRAL in the elections.

Everyone who has used an email client like Outlook knows that it makes email tasks like composing and formatting messages and even attaching files to your emails enjoyable, quick and easy. The problem is some of us operate on a shoe-string budget, we cannot afford to by Mr Gates’ email client and to pay for a personal email account with  the commercial email service providers.

Well the good news is for starters, as I know we all know, you can open a free Gmail account from Google. Now Gmail enables you to access your email from an easy to use desktop client like Outlook (or even your phone). Ah but we can’t afford Outlook, you say. That’s where open source software comes in.

gPhone is here!

September 23, 2008 · Posted in Technology · 2 Comments 

Google has scored another first, the first gPhone was announced today. This will go in history as one of the really defining moments for the open source world.

T-Mobile, the Germany mobile phone services provider unveiled the first Android powered phone, today. Android is a set of programs that will form the operating system and developing platform for gPhones. Android was developed by Google with the cooperation of more than 30 companies involved in the mobile phone industry, a group known as the Open  Handset Alliance. The Open Handset Alliance includes the likes of Google. Motorola, Samsung, Ebay, Intel and several other companies

Android is really a platform aimed at software geeks to develop exciting mobile phone applications such those found on the iPhone from Apple. The Android platform is based on the open source Linux operating system and as such should make a serious business case for open source software.

Google continues to redefine technology as we have known it and it seems nothing is stopping those guys at Googleplex.

Has Google become God?

www.thechurhofgoogle.org claims that Google is God. Here is the proof they give. I’d really like to hear your thoughts on this:

PROOF 1

Google is the closest thing to an Omniscient (all-knowing) entity in existence, which can be scientifically verified. She indexes over 9.5 billion WebPages, which is more than any other search engine on the web today. Not only is Google the closest known entity to being Omniscient, but She also sorts through this vast amount of knowledge using Her patented PageRank technology, organizing said data and making it easily accessible to us mere mortals.

Google founders: Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

I’m now certain that my favourite company, Google, literally has all the answers. Yes literally all the answers! “…if this Google monster has all the answers then why submit wrong assignments, why are there so many inaccurate writings out there, design terrible sites/systems, why so many misconceptions on nature and generally everything?”, i can hear the critics moan.  I think the answer lies in the fact that only quality questions get quality answers.
