Google Search Engine Shutdown !

Have we ever stopped for a moment to think how dependent we have become on Google search ?
Have we ever wondered why 99 in 100 people have Google as their homepage ?
Have we ever wondered what would be the repercussions of closing down google for an hour ?
How many times in a day have we thought of browsing the internet and ended up reaching our preferred page through google search ?
How many times do we use the address bar in browser to actually type in the exact address that we would like to browse ?
I wish I had the expertise to block access to "www.google.com" to all the users across the globe for an hour. Even now when I am thinking of blocking the access to google, I am again opening google homepage to search for resources. I wish to write a lot more...but what do I write ? Since the inception of google, I have stopped thinking... Maybe not a google shutdown, but atleast someday I would use my own working brain to write an article that has no google written over it ! Good luck to us !

Google Tops 100 Best Places To Work


"Fortune Magazine's annual '100 Best Companies to Work For' list is out, and Google topped the list in their debut appearance. Some highlights of the benefits of working for Google that caught my eye were the free gourmet meals and the massages. The chance to spend 20% of your time working on your own personal projects also sounds very appealing. Of course, with resumes rolling in at the rate of thousands a day, the competition is fierce."

Amazon founder recruiting for private space program


The founder of retail website Amazon has advertised for engineers to join his private program aimed at opening the galaxy to more human exploration.


Jeff Bezos posted his hiring offer at http://www.blueorigin.com , the website of the Blue Origin 9 company he is financing with the goal of making spaceflights more affordable for the masses.

"We're working, patiently and step-by-step, to lower the cost of spaceflight so that many people can afford to go and so that we humans can better continue exploring the solar system," Bezos wrote.

"Accomplishing this mission will take a long time, and we're working on it methodically. Slow and steady is the way to achieve results, and we do not kid ourselves into thinking this will get easier as we go along."

Bezos included photos and a video clip of a November test flight of a Goddard rocket in Texas. An Amazon web service was used to create the visual presentation.

The Impact of Immigrant Innovators

"The Wall Street Journal is carrying a report on immigrant innovators and entrepreneurs. According to the piece, nearly a quarter of all California startups which went into business between 1995 and 2005 had an immigrant as a founding member. These businesses, together, employ almost half a million workers and generated about $50 billion in sales in the year 2005. The study seems quite topical, given recent discussions in the U.S. capital. From the article: 'Supporters of an immigration bill are likely to use the study to argue the importance of foreign-born workers to the U.S. economy. An immigration bill passed by the last Congress and heavily lobbied by business groups would have greatly increased the number of green cards available to skilled workers. Business has long argued that the U.S. schools aren't turning out enough scientists, mathematicians and engineers, and that the economy will lose its competitive edge without more skilled foreign workers.'"
