Google is, apparently, experimenting with adding Wikipedia entries to its Google News results, as some users report being shown links to Wikipedia among the ones from traditional news outlets.

After having monetized on its advertising programs for so long and taking the cash while only offering a platform and a few choices to advertisers, Google is now finally sharing with the world what only few have been able to test since January: demographic targeted ads.

The wave of URLs that appeared to lead to Google, but were created by hackers for their devious deeds, has caught the eye of security company McAfee, and boy, were they mad about it.

For a couple of days, rumors that the Spectrum Auction has been closed at $19.6 billion have been floating around and even Google confirmed it. The Mountain View-based company did not, however, say who the winner was, as this announcement was to be made by the FCC alone. The big day came yesterday, when Verizon was d... |

After Yahoo! turned to radio ads, it's Google's turn to step down from the clouds and have a hands-on approach to advertising. And a real sticky one, at that.

Compromise is all this life is about for most people.

The all-knowing and all-algorithm writing Google has failed utterly in what it has been bragging to do so well: keeping children from having access to pornographic material.

The new flat-rate data plans from phone carriers is overwhelming, pure and simple, and it is fueling the rate at which the Internet is accessed via mobile handheld devices up to rocket speed.

The Spanish version of Google has been quite fancy in the past two days. Doodle after doodle after… no, just two of them, but in a very rapid succession.

Google allowed its users to edit the maps before, by moving markers of their homes and businesses, but nothing of this magnitude has ever impacted the online community like the latest option added.

No, Clippy, I do not want any suggestions on what to do next. I just type in an article and there's nothing you can do to stop me!

Tired of reading about the Chinese government censoring the media and then going halfway for the compromise?

Google, the care keeper of the Internet, as some like to call it, has announced on the 8th of March that Privila sites have been removed from its index after the elaborate scheme that the Chicago-based company attempted and even managed to pull through, fooling the world's biggest search engine.

Censorship is all but the latest rage, nevertheless people and even governments use it abusively and obsessively.

Allegedly, comparative advertising is good for consumers, competition and free speech, or at least it is according to the Google Public Policy blog.

The Mountain View-based company has it good, judging from the requests it has pouring in.

Google's cash cow is its advertising program, as everybody knows, but the search engine is the core of what the Mountain View-based company stands for.

When Google introduced Sitelinks, it attended to navigational searches.

It was just last week when a security company noticed that Gmail captchas had been cracked, or should I say, a way to crack them had been found.
