Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University, and was formally incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998. You know there's more to something than meets the eye when such a massively successful company has such a simple layout though, and I mean that in the best way possible. Google has always done things a little bit differently, and that works to keep things fresh, immersive and consistently progressive.  Here are some Google facts you may not know! 1. The name 'Google' is actually derived from the mathematical term 'googol' which is basically 1 with a 100 zeros following it Source:  Livescience 2. Co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin originally named Google 'Backrub' One can only wonder why... Source:  Grabhouse 3. As part of their green initiative, Google regularly rents goats to mow the lawns of their mountain view HQ The employees claim they find it cal...

A potentially dangerous social media game, which has been linked to 130 teen deaths in Russia, is making its way to the UK, leading to schools issuing warnings to parents. The game is called the ‘Blue Whale Game’ and is being played across various social media platforms by youngsters. Teenagers are taking their own lives ‘as a result of social media game called Blue Whale’ It involves players being given a master that will control them and make them do tasks every day for 50 days. It seems like harmless fun but following investigations into the game in Russia, the game was found to be behind a large number of teen suicides. According to reports, those who took their lives had completed smaller challenges in the ‘game’ over the 50 days and by the end of it, were encouraged to try to ‘win the game’ by killing themselves. The headteacher of Woodlands School in Basildon has now issued a letter to parents warning them about the dangerous game. (Picture: Google) The headte...

yogishroof.blogspot.com Ever feel like your Internet is running slow? Sometimes Web pages take forever to load, and don't even get me started about downloading programs, pictures or even videos. It's very frustrating, especially when you pay for high-speed Internet. The problem is that it's not always the same thing that's causing your Internet to run slowly. Many things can cause websites and emails to load slowly. It could be your browser, your computer or a website problem. The place to start, however, is your Internet connection. For that, you need Speedtest.net. Speedtest.net will measure the ping time, download speed and upload speed of your Internet connection. Ping measures how fast you get a response back from the test server. The lower the number is the better. If you play online multiplayer games, you'll want less than 100 milliseconds. As for uploading and downloading, measurements are given in bits per second. Higher numbers are bet...

yogishroof.blogspot.com ABS-  " An anti-lock braking system or anti-skid braking system (ABS) is an automobile safety system that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to maintain tractive contact with the road surface according to driver inputs while braking, preventing the wheels from locking up (ceasing rotation) and avoiding uncontrolled skidding."   (Image Source: www.s2pacademy.com) ABS Working principle The basic theory behind anti-lock brakes is simple. It prevents the wheels from locking up, thus avoiding uncontrolled skidding. ABS generally offers improved vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and slippery surfaces. With ABS, you get better stability and control over a car while braking (Image Source: www.toyota.lk) A skidding wheel (where the tire contact patch is sliding relative to the road) has less traction (grip of the tire on the road) than a non-skidding wheel. For example, if your car drives over a road covered i...

yogishroof.blogspot.com Microsoft did put many software things in place [like the updates] to make piracy harder. It also stepped up pressure on the governments to enforce copyright laws. I know of many small businesses in India buying legal copies as they fear raids. It is only on the consumer side it is very expensive to prosecute. They introduced starter packs to reduce the barriers to buy legitimate copies. That said, Microsoft is not as hurt by students pirating Windows. It might even be helping them. If Microsoft made it impossible to buy pirated copies, some might use linux, some might use Mac and some might not buy a new PC for that year. All of those would hurt far more than losing potential revenues from that student. Those "free" copies create a massive pool of Windows users that attracts the whole ecosystem of developers - creating a virtuous cycle. The massive body of Windows-comfortable consumers coming to the workplace makes Windows the default standa...
