Top 7 Best Gmail Logos

full storyAgain, Still No Easter for Google
Last year it was the same as this year, nothing special for Google for this precious Christian holiday. I looked around at the other engines, but the only other search engine I saw doing anything was Ask.com, which has bunnies on their homepage. Bing.com has some baby chicks, but Yahoo! is doing nothing as well.
full storyGoogle Is Smarter Than You Think
Google is getting smarter and smarter, everyday. Faster than you may realize. Let’s look at this example to see how Google was able to translate what I wanted and what it was able to provide me. I did a search for “mytunes for mac” expecting to find some sort of app to let me steal [...]

Google is pushing full force to get Chrome adopted by the world.

full storyNo Celebration for President’s Day in the US
This is something I actually find a little odd. They celebrate artists, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Holloween, and everything else under the sky, but Google is not celebrating the day of all our past presidents. Google cannot try to hide behind the “we are not political” line, we know Google is quite forward with politics and [...]

As part of Google’s recent push [...]

full storyGoogle Loses Mobile Search Deal to Microsoft
In recent news, Verizon chose Microsoft over both Google and Yahoo! as its search provider for its mobile devices. Obviously Verizon did not choose Microsoft based on advanced or superior technology, but it’s purely based on the dollar amount of the deal. Microsoft must have forked out some serious cash to be selected as Verizon’s [...]
