What is Google?
Hi all, it’s such a nice feeling to be back.
All of us must have observed the Advanced Query feature recently enabled on the Google Search Engine. Whenever you start typing in a query, Google automatically shows the top queries related to your search. There is an option to enable/disable this feature though, in the Google Preferences in case you don’t like it.

Microsoft versus Google now??
We had reported yesterday that Google has announced its own Operating System, the Google Chrome OS. And, all of us wondered at the timing, especially considering that they don’t even have a prototype or a clear path on as to how they are going to build it! Well, we believe we just found the answer.
As per the reports reaching us at GeeksBlogging@dotCOM, it is said that Microsoft is about to announce something BIG this Monday. If the rounds over the Internet are to be believed, it seems Microsoft may be launching “Microsoft Office in the Cloud”. All of us believe that MS Office is Microsoft’s second best selling software after MS Windows.

Google versus Microsoft?
Two brands, two giants. However, despite being so similar, are so different owing to the fields they work in.
Purely in the order of the companies’ registration date, Microsoft, revolutionary#1, the one which redefined Personal Computing with the Windows Operating System.

Google goats – go green!!
I just had to share this. I first heard about this on TechCrunch.
We all know about the sprawling Google campus in Mountain View, Carlifornina with lush green lawns around it. Now, how do you mow the grass down once it grows to much? you mow it! Google says, you graze it!!
Google has apparently hired a set of goats apparently from the company California Grazing to adopt the eco friendly approach to mow down the grass around its campus.
You can read the complete story on the official google blog, here.
