Google Squared

Google Squared ~. Impressive.

Searches I tried:

• South Park characters (includes real-life Saddam Hussein)
• types of knots (includes the band Slipknot, heh)
• mini coopers (sorta worked)
• Friends characters (didn't work at all)
• Finally, I was surprised to see this pic representing the book of Esther in a search for books in the bible

1. stopdesign: Goodbye Google (via).

   When a company is filled with engineers, it turns to engineering to solve problems. Reduce each decision to a simple logic problem. Remove all subjectivity and just look at the data. ... I had a recent debate over whether a border should be 3, 4 or 5 pixels wide, and was asked to prove my case. I can’t operate in an environment like that.

Google Chrome's EULA

Google Chrome EULA Claims Ownership of Everything You Create on Chrome, From Blog Posts to Emails (via). That's misleading... they merely reserve the right to reproduce anything you write anywhere they want to, but you still own the copyright.

Evidently Google Docs has a similar clause in their EULA.

Update: Google is removing that language from the EULA (via), and applying the new license retroactively. What about the matching clauses in their other products?

Update: Official Google Blog: Update to Google Chrome's terms of service.

1. Google Open Source Blog: Protocol Buffers: Google's Data Interchange Format (via).

   Edit: People are comparing it to Facebook's Thrift.

   I've also seen it compared to Ice.

1. Google Labs Publications: MapReduce:

   MapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating large data sets... Programs written in this functional style are automatically parallelized and executed on a large cluster of commodity machines. The run-time system takes care of the details of partitioning the input data, scheduling the program's execution across a set of machines, handling machine failures, and managing the required inter-machine communication. This allows programmers without any experience with parallel and distributed systems to easily utilize the resources of a large distributed system.

   Via Adam and Ned.
