    • ]]>     Strangely,Google Pack still ships Mozilla Firefox as a set of essential software instead of its own browser-The Chrome.Here’s my vote to move Chrome out of beta.

    • ]]>     “All along the watchtower…..riders are approaching” sang Bob Dylan.Ok I am exaggerating the issue.But it always is good to associate rock music to day to day things,isn’t it?

    Finally when we thought there is no escaping Google and its dominance,there are places like Russia where alternatives(superior?!) are available.

    Click here to read about a new search engine in Russia called Yandex which has a market share of 44%,10 points more than Google.

    I strongly believe that competition makes things much better for the users like us.

    • ]]>     I am sure you have read the numerous surveys(here & there) on Google being the best company to work,the most innovative etc etc,but there’s one more reason to work for Google.The guys there are earning so much that they probably needn’t bother much about the company’s balance sheets.So what do you do when you have loads of money and are somewhat talented???You would do things that nobody else would even try to do(either ’cause of the lack of time or money matters).Now I know why they are also ranked among the top innovative companies.They have loads and loads of free time to create,to innovate and fool around. Literally. 
    So the worlds supposedly best company religiously fools (tries to) on April 1st every year. Check out this year’s “The Adventures of a Lifetime“. You could learn how to be a Virgile Pioneer, whether you have the guts to be a Martian(by answering a questionnaire).
    Here’s a list of previous years Google April Fool’s Jokes : 
    2008 : Virgile and more here, here, here, here, here, here,..someone here has so much free time.
    2002 : PigeonRank
