Google announced 6 new features for Gmail along with the ones that were in the development phase but won’t be added. They call that ‘graduation’ and ‘retirement’ respectively. Now Gmail will add video previews of all the YouTube video links you paste in your email. Besides, Auto complete has been added in the Gmail search.
This is an EPIC example of how a giant moves into wrong territories. The news is that Google has formed Google Energy LLC which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the “Web giant” Google will:
Google voice, a telecommunication service by Google, offers many services on your existing US phone number. It’s a cool service that gives you more control over your communication via phone .It offers a lot of ease and simplicity with things like Google voicemail, Voicemail transcription, Custom greetings, International calling, Notifications, reading voicemail, Sharing voicemails and many additional features.
Google Buzz is integrated with GMail. If your life is on internet and you are concerned with your privacy then you must be keeping separate privacy concerns for the services you use. Like sharing information on twitter can be different for you as compared to sharing it with your close friends on Facebook. Social Media giants are trying to convince us that the age of privacy is over because they need to make more money.
We love rumors specially when they have to do with bubbling gadgetry. Folks at AndroidSPIN have received a build file which, if it’s true, shows that HTC is going to release HTC Scorpion that will surely leave Google Nexus One far far away. With 1.5Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and Android 2.2, it’s going to be a geeks dream come true.
People are more curious now about their privacy on internet . As Google is an internet giant, it has a huge amount of user’s private data. Everyone is curious about this data as we don’t know what Google has and what it can do with it. They can even expose it (who knows) to intelligence agencies or other 3rd parties. To make us feel that Google gives a lot of priority to our privacy, Google tells about it’s 5 privacy principles:

Google China got tired of censorship applied by the Chinese Government for the Google’s Chinese version. Google refused to censor the results and tension occurred. Google threatened government either to do Google way or they will leave China. Discussions are going on and later on Google became a victim of massive cyber attack occurring from China.
Like many other well-known organizations, we face cyber attacks of varying degrees on a regular basis. In mid-December, we detected a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google. However, it soon became clear that what at first appeared to be solely a security incident--albeit a significant one--was something quite different.
First, this attack was not just on Google. As part of our investigation we have discovered that at least twenty other large companies from a wide range of businesses--including the Internet, finance, technology, media and chemical sectors--have been similarly targeted. We are currently in the process of notifying those companies, and we are also working with the relevant U.S. authorities
Computer and software security company McAfee last week identified a vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer as a key vector in the cyberattacks that hit Google and over 30 other companies in a high-profile, multi-staged and concentrated effort to hack into specific computer systems in order to obtain intellectual property.
Redmond has since issued a security advisory and later published its own risk assessment of the zero-day threat. This morning, McAfee announced that it is offering consumers and businesses further guidance on what it refers to as ‘Operation Aurora’.
THE Great Wall of China was largely built in the mid-15th century to keep out the invading hordes of the vast Mongol Empire. It succeeded, and much of the wall survives today as a great tourist attraction. Last century, China's Communist Party perceived a threat to its rule in the vast flow of uncensored information on the internet, and responded with the ''Great Firewall of China'', the most ambitious web-filtering system in the world. Now, a decade into the 21st century, online business empire Google, with the backing of the US, has mounted what may be a landmark challenge to Beijing.
Gipson Hoffman & Pancione, which is representing Cybersitter in a $2.2 billion piracy suit filed against China and seven major computer manufacturers, said in a statement that its attorneys were sent customized Trojan emails aimed at retrieving data from the company's computers and servers.
There is yet another twist in the Google-China fiasco. According to the sources at Reuters, the hackers who attacked the human rights activist Gmail accounts took advantage of a flaw found in Internet Explorer, and they were also supported by insiders from within the Google network.
Google has officially unveiled Google Nexus One in the recent Google Phone Event. The phone, that is manufactured by HTC, has a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor that is one of the fastest integrated processors for wireless devices today and a 3.7-inch AMLED screen. It runs Android 2.1 Operating System and has many sensors like accelerometer, proximity and light sensors. The camera can snap 5 megapixels of photos with support of an LED flash.
Last month Google introduced Closure Library. Closure Library is a JavaScript Library by Google. What’s special about this JavaScript library is that it comes with Closure Compiler that is a JavaScript Optimizer which compiles the web apps to an optimized and compact JavaScript code that increases performance. It also removes the dead or useless JavaScript code. How about using the Closure Library and having no need to go for the compiler? it decreases one step that can save a lot of time.
Engadget has just exclusively unveiled the full specs of Google Nexus One Phone. Also the invite-only retail sales are getting started from January 5th. Possibly, current registered developers may also get access to the sales.
Google https://www.programmerfish.com/category/app-engine-google/' target='_blank'>App Engine team has just released the new SDK v1.2.8 that adds much needed new features to the Admin Console Panel and this is the first time they previewed it with the developers before releasing the update so this means it definitely must have faced a lot of scrutiny before release.
Are you using a lot of Google services? I do! And I always felt a need for a centralized place where I can view summary of all the data of Google products that I use. Google has just launched this thing that is called Google Dashboard. The Google Dashboard allows you to view and control data associated with the different products you use with your Google Account. Not only it summarizes all of your Google accounts, but also makes you know what information Google has of you. Although it's still not on the Google homepage (It should be). You have to go to https://www.google.com/dashboard/ to access it.
Watch the official Google Dashboard video:
What a fantastic journey it has been! No doubt Google has been credited with making the internet useful. Ever since it started as a research project in a Stanford dorm room, it has never looked back.
Simplicity has always been the trademark of Google, hugely because of t
he ease it gives to the user to search. Today, we take a journey down the memory lane and see the evolution of this search giant’s page:
Google describes the change as indicative of it’s commitment to search! Well, 
how come increasing the size of the text box and font be a proof of it’s commitment to search? Today, Google announced that the search box’s size has been increased and so is the font size so that ‘you can see your query more clearly’. They also describe it as more fun experience. I don’t know how.
