Google-Bombing
Eine "weltweite" Blogger-Initiative hat eine antisemitische Website von Platz eins in den Google-Suchergebnissen verdrängt. Doch derartige Aktionen schaden mehr als sie nützen
Eine "weltweite" Blogger-Initiative hat eine antisemitische Website von Platz eins in den Google-Suchergebnissen verdrängt. Diese "Sensation" wurde gespickt mit soviel Unwissen, falschen Darstellungen und offensichtlichem Dilettantismus verbreitet, dass ich nicht weiß, ob ich lachen oder weinen soll.

Juden beschweren sich über Google
Google.com: Bis vor kurzem bekam man bei der Suche nach dem Begriff 'jew' (zu deutsch: Jude) als erstes Ergebnis eine Homepage namens 'Jew watch'. Diese Homepage enthält antisemitische Inhalte.
Mittlerweile erhält man als bestes Ergebnis removejewwatch.com. Diese Seite wurde von Steven Weinstock ins Internet gestellt. Es handelt sich um eine Unterschriftenaktion.
Laut Weinstock wird die Seite 'Jew Watch' von Google entfernt, wenn sich 50.000 Leute eingetragen haben. Google dementierte dies jedoch. Die Suchergebnisse werden nur durch Algorithmen bestimmt.

The Original GOOGLE Computer Storage
The development of the Google algorithms was carried on on a variety of Computers, mainly provided by the NSF-DARPA-NASA-funded Digital Library project at Stanford. Click to see the equipment in its laboratory setting on the basement floor of Gates Information Sciences. Crawling the web to obtain its link structure required an enormous amount of storage in comparison with typical student projects at that time. We show here the original storage assembly, containing 10 4 Gigabyte disk drives, giving 40 Gbytes total.

The Secret Source of Google's Power
Much is being written about Gmail, Google's new free webmail system. There's something deeper to learn about Google from this product than the initial reaction to the product features, however. Ignore for a moment the observations about Google leapfrogging their competitors with more user value and a new feature or two. Or Google diversifying away from search into other applications; they've been doing that for a while. Or the privacy red herring.

What's a XooMLe?
XooMLe allows you to query the Google search engine and have your results returned in XML format. Why the heck would I want to do that? Well, if you are a developer, you might not have access to the SOAP functionality required to directly access the Google API, so XooMLe might provide an easy way for you to do all the same things, but using a much simpler, HTTP/URI/XML-based API.

Anonymizing Google's Cookie
If you use Google, and you accept it's cookie, you should give some thought to the implications, both good and potentially bad : this page tries to help you do that, together with an easy way to anonymize it without missing out on its benefits. First the good. It's useful to you. It's how Google saves your preferences (such as language, filtering, number of results per page, etc). If, like me, you want a hundred results per page (not just ten), in English only (not in languages I can't read), unfiltered for adult content (I'm not a child), then you need the Google cookie.

Georgia Firm Takes on Google
Google, with revenues approaching $1 billion a year, is being challenged in federal court by a tiny Norcross, Ga. company, Digital Envoy, which claims Google is using its technology without paying.
If Digital Envoy wins the case, it hopes for a judgment that could equal the less than $10 million it generates in revenue for a year.
