Wouldn't it be shameful for a company the magnitude of Google to be forced to admit that somebody stole its Domain Name System (its most basic task is to translate hostnames to IP addresses, in case you didn't know that)? Yes it would, don't even try to think about another answer, because it's jus... |

The quotation in the title is from an October 20th, 2006 conference call.

Yep, you've heard it correctly, I have just won 800,000 pounds at the UK lottery. You're probably curious why I'm so bored and what's the reason for not being excited about the amazing prize. Well, because it is only a stupid SPAM message that came into my inbox! I've seen too many of these i... |

The colored labels, which were introduced a couple of weeks ago, kind of revolutionized the approach to inbox and made it all of a sudden a friendly place with a means to quickly find whatever was needed, without having to use the internal search engine built into the client.

Alexandre Dumas' Three Musketeers' catchphrase is, I think, the one that best describes where Google is going to. The Mountain View based company is trying to unite its users under one single profile that will link from there to all the services it graces us with. This is coming in, one step at a time, and... |

I've often heard others just start swearing out of the blue while working on their computers. They just jump up from their chairs and start cursing, as if they've just got out of a fight and they're all black and blue.

The one subject that I'm always asked about, every morning, by my co-workers is what happened with GMail overnight, what features it was added and when some new things will be brought for everybody to play with.

I've just praised earlier in the week the GMail team for doing such a good job with the updates that would catch up soon with Yahoo!'s Mail at the rates things were going.

The one thing I can see Google is striving to beat Yahoo! at is the mail services and client options. They have a lot of ground to cover, over at the Mountain View Headquarters, and they don't waste one moment of their time on trivial things.
