After the Chinese demands for Arun achal Pradesh, Google now has started FOOLING Indians as well! Google shows different maps to Indians and Chinese. In the Indian Version, it shows “ Arunachal Pradesh” as a Disputed region(Not even a part of India) where as in the Chinese version, it shows Arun achal Pradesh as an INTEGRAL PART of CHINA!
Google.The name needs no introduction.It's the world's no one Search Engine Giant and of course a part of our daily life. The Google turns 11 today.Let's celebrate Google's 11 th birthday with this unique logo.

This is probably the reason why Google wins the title of 'Best Employer' several years running. Google is said to be the dream job of a lot of people.
We already knew that working for Google had certain advantages, but, this giant of the search motor takes the welfare of its employees seriously ... as shown by this decompression (stress) capsule that is impermeable to sound and light . . ..
Moving around : A slide allows quick access from different floors . . . There are also poles available . . . they are similar to the ones used in fire stations .
Food . Employees can eat all they want from a vast choice of food and drink .
Work Station: Each employee has at least two large screens . There are 4-6 'Zooglers' per office .
INOVATION: Large boards are available just about everywere because 'ideas don't always come when seated in the office' says one of Googles managers .
LEISURE . Pool tables, video games etc . are available in many areas .
Communication . . . On each floor, there are private cabin areas where employees can attend to personal affairs ..

Google's Python engineers have launched a new project called Unladen Swallow, which aims to bring a major performance boost to the Python programming language by making runtime speed five times faster. The project is being implemented as a branch of the conventional CPython runtime and will be fully source-compatible with regular Python applications and native extensions. This will make it possible to eventually merge the improvements into Python trunk.
The goal of the Unladen Swallow project is to use LLVM, the Low Level Virtual Machine compiler infrastructure, to build a just-in-time (JIT) compilation engine that can replace Python's own specialized virtual machine. This approach offers a number of significant advantages. As the developers describe in the project plan, the project will make it possible to transition Python to a register-based virtual machine and will pave the way for future optimizations.
Adopting LLVM could also potentially open the door for more seamlessly integrating other languages with Python code, because the underlying LLVM intermediate representation is largely language-neutral.
The Unladen Swallow project also encompasses several other initiatives to improve other characteristics of the runtime and take advantage of modern hardware. Parallelization and higher utilization of multicore processors is one area where the developers are placing strong focus. They are considering the possibility of implementing a concurrent garbage collector, for example. They are very serious about fixing multithreading in Python and hope to slay the Global Interpreter Lock, a mechanism that provides thread safety but imposes limitations on the kind of scalability improvements that applications can get from concurrency.
Although the project is at a very early stage of development, an experimental prototype is already available. The source code can be downloaded from the project's version control system at the Google Code site. The current implementation is said to already provide a performance increase in some specific testing scenarios, but it's still only a flesh wound compared to the improvements that are coming.
For their second milestone, which is scheduled for the second quarter of 2009, they hope to replace the Python virtual machine with a functionally-equivalent LLVM-based implementation.
The Unladen Swallow developers hope that the project will eventually make it possible to use Python instead of C for a wider range of performance-sensitive tasks. They are building it on top of Python 2.6 (2.x is not dead yet) because it will allow many existing projects to adopt it and will also provide a clean glide path to Python 3.
Python is gaining some traction in enterprise environments and it's used extensively by Google within the company's own infrastructure and its hosted App Engine system. Google's investment in improving Python performance will make the language even more compelling for rapid web application development.
YouTube confirmed its website was being blocked in China, although the California firm offered no explanation for why Chinese authorities were barring access to the popular video-sharing service.
"YouTube has been blocked in China since yesterday," company spokesman Scott Rubin said.
"We do not know the reason for the blockage, and we're working as quickly as possible to restore access to our users in China."
Chinese authorities have a history of blocking websites they deem politically unacceptable or offensive.
A spokesman for the Chinese consulate in San Francisco told AFP he didn't have any information about YouTube being blocked in China.
The YouTube blockage came as government officials there publicly challenged the authenticity of a video that purports to show police beating to death a pro-Tibet demonstrator last year.
China's official Xinhua News Agency quoted an unidentified government source saying supporters of the Dalai Lama were "fabricating lies" by doctoring video to "deceive the international community."
In March of last year YouTube access was barred temporarily in China after video clips appeared showing violent unrest in the Tibetan capital Lhasa that triggered a virtual lockdown of the city by security forces.
Footage of Chinese troops apparently beating Tibetans last year in and near Lhasa following the deadly riots has appeared on YouTube in recent days. The source, date and location of the footage, posted by a Tibetan exile group, could not be independently confirmed.
The video shows hundreds of uniformed Chinese soldiers running through a Tibetan monastery, some of them beating a man with batons.
In another scene, uniformed soldiers kick, drag and beat several men and women who are lying on the ground, some of them with their hands bound behind their backs.
The narrator of the video said the violence was part of China's crackdown following anti-Chinese unrest in the Tibetan capital March 14, 2008, which Beijing says led to the deaths of 21 people by rioters.
This March, China deployed a heavy security presence in Tibet and neighboring provinces to head off unrest ahead of two significant anniversaries.
In addition to the March 14 anniversary, March 10 marked the 50th anniversary of a failed uprising against Chinese rule that led to Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama fleeing the Himalayan region for India.
Marc van der Chijs, a Dutch Internet entrepreneur who co-founded Shanghai-based video-sharing website Tudou.com, offered another theory for the YouTube blockage in a Tuesday message on his website.
"I suspect the real reason might be that YouTube just launched a Chinese version, which would make the site much more accessible for Chinese users," van der Chijs wrote.
"Not a very smart idea to do that in the middle of the National Congress, and I am surprised nobody at mother company Google's China offices rang an alarm bell about this before launch."
California-based Google bought YouTube in 2006 in a 1.65-billion-dollar stock deal.
"I don't like sites to be blocked; even not those of our competitors," van der Chijs wrote. "But, it will be an interesting discussion point for our Tudou board meeting tomorrow."
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemned the blocking of YouTube in China. The Paris-based group devoted to press freedom branded China an "enemy of the Internet" in a report published this month.
Chinese routinely censors Internet searches and conversations with sophisticated controls that essentially make the country's Web "the largest prison in the world for cyber-dissidents," according to an RSF statement.
RSF praised Internet users in China that have been cleverly mocking censors with satirical videos, songs and tales based on a "grass-mud horse" character referred to as "Caonima." The alpaca-like character is a comic play on a Chinese epithet.
Government officials have reportedly been ordering websites and online chat rooms to erase the spoof character through methods such as eliminating "caonima" as an Internet search key word.
RSF said wordplay was used to slip past censors in "a collective thumbing of your nose" at China's propaganda machine. Source

Back in June, Google rolled out a new favicon — the small icon that greets you when you access Google on your URL bar or your bookmarks list — and Google encouraged our users to submit their ideas for this important piece of Google branding. Volume of submissions we received, and Google has introduced a new favicon inspired by those submissions by users. While the final icon is a reinterpretation of one contest submission, it draws on design elements and ideas from many of them.
Google's New Favicon
André Resende, a computer science undergraduate student at the University of Campinas in Brazil, submitted the design that inspired our new favicon. His placement of a white 'g' on a color-blocked background was highly recognizable and attractive, while seeming to capture the essence of Google.
Favicon Submitted by André Resende
Google has changed the color layout slightly and moved the 'g' off center, his submission formed the basis for new design.
Incorporating all four of Google's colors (red, yellow, green, and blue) into the four corners of the favicon was a theme we liked in many submissions. Google saw this idea in the designs submitted by Hadi Onur Demirsoy, Lucian E. Marin, and Yusuf Sevgen (pictured below).
Google believes new favicon, which nicely integrates all of our original criteria: distinctive in shape, noticeable, colorful, timeless, and scalable to other sizes.

The search giant Google has officially launched its long-rumoured entry in the browser arena. Termed Chrome, the new browser will take on Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla Foundation's Firefox.
Google's entry in the browser market further embitters the long-going Microsoft-Google battle for Web supremacy. At the same time, it once again hots up the browser battles even as Microsoft has launched IE8 beta 2 and Firefox 3.0. But few people know why a browser might become an important weapon in the Google arsenal.
