What Do You Know About Google Wonder Wheel?

You know Google as search engine! And Google is not just making you to find only search result as you write and result is in your eyes! Yes, there is not so simple for Google as taking it as only one search engine.

Google is involving more and more tools to make your search most nearable as you are finding for. But Do you know about that tools! Yes what I am talking about is "Google Wonder Wheel". This tool in not new. But Did you ever use that? NO, I am probably sure. Because Google is not giving their publicity on any tools. So, You have to know what Google is going to publish as tool for you.

On May 2009 Google released a new feature called “Google Wonder Wheel” . Google Wonder Wheel is a wheel (of wonder) which shows related search terms to the current searched query and thus enable you to explore relevant search terms which might be the ones you originally wanted to search for, or simply give you more options to gain more information.

The wheel shaped like tool, with the simple aim of simplifying and arranging search results, is gaining popularity among users worldwide (where available) and reached 1 million google wonder wheels.

The wheel was first introduced publicly in May and became a favorable feature to many due to the layout and result display which basically get the work done for the user as far as relevant and related search results go. The fact that it’s a pre defined mind mapper which helps the user get all the related search results in a wheel shaped like display (similar to mind mapping softwares which are commonly used by many), gave users another reason to use it in addition to the features already provided by search engine giant Google.

More Relevant Results From The Same Website in Which You Want!

Google is too big and great search engine ever you have seen. It has also some great services that make your search to narrow what you want. I have discussed about Google's new service about Instant Search that save your time and good searchable to your search results. Now I am going to talk about it's tool that make your search narrow by your website. 

When you get back from the store and hop online to do some searching, you’re visiting a different kind of place—a website. Sometimes it turns out that one website is extremely likely to have the information you’re looking for, like when you’ve typed a website name as part of your search, or you’re looking for information from an official government office. 




To help you find this information more quickly, a few months ago we made a change to show more results from a particular domain when we’re confident that those results are likely to be most useful to you. This week we expanded the feature to include more queries and to show additional results (up to four) from the same website.

So, this will make your search result in your one particular website that is great for users who want to know about that particular site.

Technology is upgraded regularly. People wanting to get the latest technology have to buy mobiles at regular intervals. This is only feasible if you have enough resources. Still none would like to waste so much money on the handset-purchases, regularly.

The best way to experience the latest technology without spending high amount of money is by investing in second hand mobiles. People want to have latest technology but lack resources to own one due to budget constraint. They can also own a good quality handset with all the features in full through second-hand mobile phone. There are almost all options available in the second-hand mobile phone also.

Many people sell-off their used Sony mobile in a very good condition and with all latest features. These mobiles are laden with latest technology and all possible features which a person desires. This used Sony mobile may be purchased from the market through mobile phone sellers who sell brand-new and used mobiles to their customers - as per the demand.

Many internet users contact the classified-ad sites to get the right deal from this section. Advertisers place ads for sale of used mobiles. Visitors can visit the site and locate the finest and technologically superior Micromax mobiles. These mobile are low in cost and high in functions. Users prefer to buy these mobiles which are available at quite reasonable prices. Second-hand Micromax mobiles are user's delight because they have all the facilities as desired by the user.

Used-Samsung mobiles are in great demand. Samsung mobiles have touch screen facility which is in high demand these days. Used Samsung mobiles in almost brand-new conditions are available at 60% of the market price. This factor allures the customer to buy these mobiles and experience the touch screen facility at very low price.

Second-hand mobiles are available through many places. But one should be careful enough in purchasing the handset. Companies provide accessories like headset, operating CD, memory card, battery charger and many more things. One should go through the booklet to get all the accessories, to utilize the handset properly. Secondly, the bill should be taken to avoid any complications later on.

Rivals of CPU processors !

As we know There are two big companies in market which are rivals of each other from years in manufacturing and marketing of CPU processor !!

Any ways let me introduce both : Intel & AMD

Lets compare some latest released processors and get known which is better to buy as per our money budget

                                                              !  AMD PROCESSORS  ! 

• AMD introduces  8400 Series ( heavy range of processors with 6 cores ) which costs about 

  Six-Core  AMD Opteron 8425 HE                                                                    $1,514
  Six-Core  AMD Opteron 8431                                                                         $2,149
  Six-Core  AMD Opteron 8435                                                                         $2,649
  Six-Core AMD Opteron 8439                                                                          $2,649

                Pricing which is listed above are as per AMD.com own listing !
            

• so here as we have seen AMD introduce some new Athlon II processors , which are basically same X2 , X3 , X4 as before simply with 100 hz speed bump ,while cutting down the prices of  slower Athlon II models 
• Introduced , The Phenom II X3 720 OEM(No CPU Cooler and 30 days warranty) is now prices $ 100  instead of   $ 120 ! 
• So overall the thing whats going on is that that AMD almost introduce high ranged processors so that if  you want to buy any new faster processor about Dual Core you can get that cheaper than before  ! 

                                                    !  INTEL PROCESSORS  !                 
        

             Intel released the Core i5-760 2.8GHz at the $210 price point and also lowered the price of the        LGA1156 Core i7 870 down to $290, the same price as the slower Core i7 860, suggesting that it might just replace the two older and slower models by the newer and faster ones eventually.


For Extreme Use  but not for workstations and servers ! 



Intel® Core™ i7 processor Extreme Edition 
Desktop (LGA 1366/1156)  i7-980X (12M L3 cache, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 3.33 GHz 6.40 GT/sec Intel® QPI 32nm) $999  


Specially for servers and workstations 
    Quad Core Intel® Itanium® processor


9350 (24M L3 cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.73 GHz (185W)  $3,838 
9340 (20M L3 cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.60 GHz (185W)  $2,059 
9330 (20M L3 cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.46 GHz (155W)  $2,059
9320 (16M L3 cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.33 GHz (155W)  $1,614 
9310 (10M L3 cache, 2 Cores, 4 Threads, 1.60 GHz (130W)  $946  


    Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series, 8, 6 and 4 core versions



X7560 (24M L3 cache, 8 Cores, 16 Threads, 2.26 GHz (130W) 6.40 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $3,692 
X7550 (18M L3 cache, 8 Cores, 16 Threads, 2.00 GHz (130W) 6.40 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $2,729
E7540 (18M L3 cache, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 2.00 GHz (105W) 6.40 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $1,980 
E7530 (18M L3 cache, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 1.86 GHz (105W) 5.86 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $1,391 
E7520 (18M L3 cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.86 GHz (95W) 4.80 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $856 
L7555 (24M L3 cache, 8 Cores, 16 Threads, 1.86 GHz (95W) 5.86 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $3,157 
L7545 (18M L3 cache, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 1.86 GHz (95W) 5.86 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $2,087 
X7542 (18M L3 cache, 6 Cores, 6 Threads, 2.66 GHz (130W) 5.86 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $1,980




 So Both are good in their ways but still intel is # 1 company in processors !! but AMD is not so far ! 


        Personal advice to readers if you have tight budget then go with AMD so that you will get same thing which would get from intel  ! AMD is cheaper than Intel !   ~ Ax102 

Shoot this light out with the Bang! lamp: Remote control

When it comes turning an appliance off from a distance, you could use some Universal remote, or even the Clapper. Or you could use this Bang! lamp.

The lamp can be turned off with a special gun-shaped remote. All you need to do is point it at the lamp and pull the trigger. Not only does this “kill the light”, but the lamp shade will do a tilt thing, like it was hit with a bullet.

Of course, you might not want to leave this lying around when someone who is pro-gun control comes around. Of course, it is a plain white gun, and I don’t know how many real plain white pistols are out there.

I’m also not certain if the gun makes a sound when you shoot the lamp. Do you really want to hear a real loud “bang” every time you turn the lamp off? Talk about putting one’s lights out.

Right now, the Bang! lamp is just a concept for now. However, it could easily evolve into other devices that you want to shoot to shut off. For example, a Bang! alarm clock that you have to bust a cap in when you wake up in the morning. What about the bang! HDTV that you can shoot every time you see something you don’t like, just like Elvis (supposedly). I would be shooting the TV every minute if I had one of those. source

How to update the Flash Player

A few weeks ago, the Adobe folks presented a security bulletin stating that previous Flash versions have plenty of bugs, such as versions 9.0.48.0 and others, which have (9) bugs on the critical level. Considering the level of the bugs, and the number of people using the buggy versions, I’d say there are many flash users that are targets for the so called “bad guys”. 

And since the mere action of checking a website is more than enough to damage/control your computer, the situation is really critical.

Fortunately, there is a solution, which is to update the Flash Player to the latest version, also known as version 9.0.115.0. Check more details, and other info about how to properly update Flash in this Cnet article.

Google' s new Doodle Coming on Moday,12, 2010 based on X-ray theme!

Tomorrow, November 8th, is the 115th anniversary of the discovery of X-rays. Google will have a special logo, aka Doodle, of an X-ray of the Google logo. I bet you never knew what made up the Google logo? Well, now is your chance.

Since it is already tomorrow in Australia, you can check out the logo at Google Australia. As you can see, I have a picture of it below:

We see the Google logo is made up of bones, a key, a rubber duck, other skeletons and maybe a couple coins. 

the first x-ray or röntgen image:

Let me tell you something about this day, on November 8, 1895, German physics professor Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-rays while experimenting with Lenard and Crookes tubes and began studying them. You can read all about the history of X-rays at Wikipedia.

Check out my last article that was about Do You Know History of Google Logos and it's competition ?: "If I Could Do Anything, I Would…"

Do You Know History of Google Logos and it's competition ?: "If I Could Do Anything, I Would…"

When Google had  first created it's logos, nobody had anticipated how popular and integral they would become to the Google search experience. 

Nowadays, many users excitedly anticipate the release of each new doodle and some even collect them! But with it Now there are lot of people that are making collection of Google logos. And one thing is that Google has also made it's own website only for Google logos. Google logos is said "Google doodles"!

This is the best Doodle of Google that I like. This image is about 2 MB. you can see it in other window click on that:

Let I also say only Doodles instead of Google Logos! Doodles are known as the decorative changes that are made to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists and scientists. Google has one excellent team that only made this doodles! The doodle team never fails to find artistic ways to celebrate these unique events. They never forget any event to make it unique containing  Spring, Albert Einstein's birthday, or the 50th anniversary of understanding DNA. A group of Googlers regularly get together to decide the events and holidays that will receive doodles.

How did the idea for doodles originate?

In 1998, the concept of the doodle was born when Google founders Larry and Sergey played with the corporate logo to indicate their attendance at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert.

 A stick figure drawing was placed behind the 2nd o in the word, Google and the revised logo was intended as a comical message to Google users that the founders were “out of office.” While the first doodle was relatively simple, the idea of decorating the company logo to celebrate notable events was well received by our users.

A year later in 2000, Larry and Sergey asked current webmaster Dennis Hwang, an intern at the time, to produce a doodle for Bastille Day. Pleased with the result, Dennis was then appointed Google’s chief doodler and doodles became a regular occurrence on the Google homepage. 

In the beginning, the doodles tended to celebrate largely visible holidays; nowadays, doodles represent a wide array of events and anniversaries from the Olympics to the Mars Rover landing.

Let me tell you something about it's logos competition held by Google:

Doodle 4 Google is a competition open to K-12 students of U.S. schools to create their own Google doodle inspired by the theme, 

                                    




"If I Could Do Anything, I Would…". 

At Google  believe in thinking big and dreaming big, and Google can't think of anything more important than encouraging students to do the same. They are looking forward to what kind of creative visions kids will submit for what they would do in the world, if they could do anything. Some potential examples of this year's theme are:

If I Could Do Anything, I Would…

• …Figure out a cure for cancer
• …Build a movie theater on the moon
• …Be an underwater explorer

Google are delighted to encourage and celebrate the creativity of young people, and are excited to see the range of creative doodles that are submitted. And of course this type of activity will make more publicity of Google, But at other hand it's not necessary. Because I don't think that it will be a person who don't know about Google!! Google  had 20,000 schools who participated in this year's contest and we received over 33,000 entries.

I would like to inform you that the prizes are of course not small. it's about $15,000. And  National Winner for Doodle 4 Google in 2009 was Christin Engelberth, a sixth grader at Bernard Harris Middle School in San Antonio, Texas. She titled her doodle "A New Beginning" to express her wish that "out of the current crisis, discoveries will be found to help the Earth prosper once more."

MacBook Air Problem Reportedly Confirmed by Memo

Apple is aware of MacBook Air display problems, according to a memo reportedly     leaked from inside Apple. The memo notes fading 

colors after a MacBook Air wakes from sleep, and mentions a software update. The display problem reportedly affects both the new 13-inch and 11-inch MacBook Airs, and the purported Apple memo offers a workaround.

An Air leak is causing problems for Apple. A memo circulating on tech web sites, purporting to be a leaked internal document from the Cupertino, Calif.-based company, confirms reports  of display problems for the new MacBook Air.

The matter was even dubbed Antennagate by some in the press. Finally, Consumer Reports issued several negative reviews in which the nonprofit organization said it "can't recommend the iPhone 4" because its tests showed an antenna problem that could be fixed by a "bumper" case.

At last, Apple held a hastily arranged press conference . At the event, Apple acknowledged the problem, offered a free bumper case for every iPhone 4 customer, a refund for any case already purchased, or a full refund for an undamaged iPhone 4.

Chrome gets thumbs-up from India’s Biggest Star Amitabh Bachhan

-kaun-banega-crorepati-selection-at-marwah-studios

Internet users spend a majority of their time inside a web browser yet a small percentage of them, discounting the tech-savvy crowd, may actually know what a browser is. But you have to believe that Google Chrome is The best Browser ever. And If you are a big fan of Amitabh Bachhan than there is a great news for you. Amitabh Bachhan (Big B) also likes Google Chrome!(Credit: Amit Agarwal)

KBC, which is the Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz show, witnessed something slightly similar yesterday.

A contestant had this question on her screen -- Which of the following is not a web browser? The choices were Firefox, Opera, Facebook and Google Chrome. You might find this easy but the young lady, who was a doctor by profession, could only answer this after taking an audience poll.

While the lady most definitely missed these print ads for Chrome that recently appeared in most Indian newspapers, Google’s web browser got some real praise from the host Amitabh Bachchan himself who said -- “Chrome is a new browser, extremely beautiful and it runs very fast.”

The marketing team at Google India must be feeling lucky here because this surprise endorsement for Chrome comes from India’s biggest star on a hugely popular TV show and that too during prime time.

here is video for that. Check it out:
