In a move that only Google could really pull off, the company has temporarily changed it’s name to Topeka, as in Topeka Kansas.
This all came about, according to Google’s blog,
Early last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas stunned the world by announcing that his city was changing its name to Google. We’ve been wondering ever [...]

Google Buzz: Another Social Networking Tool? (2010-2-11)

If you are a Google fanatic, or have a Gmail account, then you have no doubt by now been invited to try out Buzz.
Although I have only been using Buzz for oh, I’d say 30 minutes it seems to be nothing more than a mash up of Twitter and Gmail.
It is nice, however, to have [...]

Google: Is Chrome Dying? (2010-2-10)

When I came in this morning, I noticed that my favorite browser, Chrome, is having issues.
As you can see by the image above, it doens’t want to load Google pages, well, at least ones that require an account. It just gives the searching spinning circle until it just shuts down.

According to Boy Genius, it is [...]

Google Chrome 3 Final, Has Themes! (2009-9-16)

Yesterday, Google pulled Chrome Version 3 out of Beta.
This is a quicker than normal move for Google considering most of their flagship apps are either recently out of Beta after years, or are still in Beta.
As a personal fan of Chrome, I look forward to seeing what nuances they have added to it. My favorite [...]

Google: Make Your Own Chrome OS? (2009-8-17)

Gizmodo has an interesting article on how to install your own baked version of what could be the Chrome OS from Google.
I am not sure how valid or even relevant this version will be compared to what Google will come out with in the end, but it does look interesting, and difficult.
I don’t recommend this [...]

Google Page Rank: Beware Rank Widget! (2009-7-17)

Several weeks ago I posted about getting your Google Page Rank added to your blogs home page via Rank Widget.
DO NOT USE RANK WIDGET!
The code is benign enough, except that it also downloads pop up ads to your site. Some of my viewers verified they were seeing what I had interpreted as a FireFox issue [...]

Google Cloud OS: Rival to Microsoft, or Another Google Ploy? (2009-7-9)
