Google Chromium OS is available as source code, which you can download and compile by yourself to create an image file compatible with any virtual machine solution, such as VMware or VirtualBox. It’s based on Linux, starts up in seconds and is mainly designed for the Web.

This is exactly the most outstanding feature in Google Chromium OS. In Google Chromium OS everything is web-based, or if you prefer it, in “the Cloud”. It is meant to be used with online web application and you will store all your files online. That’s what makes it so fast and lightweight: the OS doesn’t need to install anything on your computer, because you can access everything online.

This is the perfect Operating System for low-spec computers like notebooks. After logging in with your Gmail account, you are ready to start. Google Chromium OS may look a bit peculiar at first, but it’s also very intuitive. Peculiar because it’s completely different from any OS you may have tried so far – it’s just a web browser –, and intuitive because a web browser is where we spend most of the time on any other OS, so there’s no learning curve at all.

Google Chromium OS is certainly a revolutionary operating system that challenges us users to change our image of computers, and the way we’ve been using them so far.

I have got in touch with interesting Google’s services.

Google Site Search

Google Site Search offers you On-Demand Indexing to easily get your pages indexed into your Google Site Search within 24 hours. Your customers will benefit from an updated website!

Google Site Search: Don’t like waiting?

On demand indexing In Google CSE

On-Demand Indexing uses a special index that is designed just for Custom Search. The main Google search indexing process is separate and uses different selection criteria, so submitting pages for On-Demand Indexing will not make them appear any faster in the main Google index, or impact ranking on Google.com. For more information on On-Demand Indexing, as well as the allocation per CSE , see how to how to on demand indexing.

Google Custom Search

This is good feature of google’s to add custom search engine to your business website. With Google Custom Search, you can harness the power of Google to create a customized search experience for your own website.

This is a really great resource for designers learning how to design logos and also for dissecting the making of some of the world’s best logos:

http://desizntech.info/2009/04/40-logo-design-tutorial/

“Logo design is a sophisticated and complex process. The hardest thing to do is to come up with the concept behind the logo. Once you know what kind of logo you want, you sketch and design it. Logo design is one of those thing that has to be perfected, because a logo represents an idea, a brand and an identity. In recent contest I asked Desizn Tech’s reader what kind of post they would like to see, some readers asked about logo design tutorial. In this post, you will find 40 different kind logo tutorial from beginners to advanced level. Beside logo design, some of the links includes broad analysis behind the logo design process which should be helpful for graphic designers and web designers.” Read more >

It’s great news for developers and users who are interested in Google analytic data export API. One of Google Analytics API Team member announced news that we are very excited to announce a new member to the Google Data API family, Google Analytics! For those of you who don’t know, Analytics is a powerful web analysis tool that provides incredible amounts of data about where visitors come from, what they do while on your site and where they go from there. The best part is that it’s free for everyone!

The new Google Analytics Data Export API is now publicly available to all Analytics users as a Labs API that provides an easy to use way to get read-only access to your Analytics data. All report data that is available to you through the web interface will also be available through this new Google Data API. In addition to the standard Google Data API protocol of making requests over HTTP and accessing your data in XML, we will also be providing both a Java and JavaScript client library to make it even easier to integrate with your Analytics information.

With the availability of this API, you all now have a standardized way to integrate your Google Analytics Data with your own business data to extend existing products or create new standalone applications. Want to see custom views of your Analytics data? Create your own dashboards and gadgets that pull from the Analytics API. Want features that aren’t included in the web interface? Build them yourself instead of waiting for them to be developed. Take a look at this Android application from Actual Metrics or this desktop from Desktop-Reporting to see examples of what some developers have already done.

To dive in and begin writing your own apps, make sure you go to the Analytics API section of the Google Code website to find all of the necessary documentation. For key announcements, code changes and updates, sign up for the Google Analytics API Notify e-mail group which we promise will only send out e-mails when there is something that directly affects developers. Lastly, to share ideas and and get feedback from other developers, join the Google Analytics API Group.

For more details on Google Analytics and the new API, check out the Analytics blog. For more information about building gadgets with the JavaScript library and other topics related to the Google Data APIs, make sure to check out the website for our developer conference, Google I/O, which will be taking place from May 27-28th in San Francisco.

Google users can now develop client applications that download Analytics data in the form of Google Data API feeds, with the help of Google Analytics Data Export API.

Users can use the Data Export API to request data from an authorized Analytics profile user and also refine the result on the basis of query parameters.

At present, Data Export API is available in public beta and has a read-only access to Google Analytics Data. Even the current feeds in the Data Export API have been categorized into two groups:

* Analytics accounts and website profiles
* Analytics report data from a single profile

I am excited about this release: I believe that a 3D API for the web will allow web developers to create powerful, immersive 3D apps, that are comparable to the experience offered by client applications and game consoles. This will make the web better, not to mention more fun!

Google chrome team member has announced that a few weeks ago, we joked about creating a special version of Google Chrome that made the web 3D. Well today, all joking aside, a team at Google is actually taking a step in that direction by introducing O3D: a shader-based API for 3D graphics in the browser.

This API allows for the development of sophisticated 3D applications that rival experiences one would expect in native applications. Technology like this will eventually make launching high quality games as easy as clicking a link in your browser.

What is O3D?

O3D is an open-source web API for creating rich, interactive 3D applications in the browser. This API allows for the development of sophisticated 3D applications that rival experiences one would expect in native applications. Technology like this will eventually make launching high quality games as easy as clicking a link in your browser.

Read more about O3D on the Google Code blog or explore the API at code.google.com/apis/o3d.

With three genuine installments on the Web, it’s naturally time for the parodies of Microsoft’s “laptop hunter” ads to start rolling in.

The first one I’ve seen is from LandlineTV. It features Frank, a homeless guy with $1,000 to spend on a laptop.

Frank’s first stop is the Apple store.

“These are beautiful,” he says, spotting a MacBook Air that is “so thin” but costs $1,700.

“What can I get for $1,000?” Frank asks. Eventually, he winds up in front of a Windows PC.

“Windows Vista Home Premium…This is (BS),” Frank says.

“Is this plastic?” he asks, before noting that the computer has “second-rate Korean components.”

In the end, he uses the Windows laptop to cover his face while sleeping on the street. I’ve embedded the video below, but you should click play only if you don’t mind some coarse language, partial nudity, and complete PC bashing.

Microsoft, for its part, declined to comment on the parody. As for Landline, it is a three-person outfit that has been doing Web video since September. Among its earlier videos was one called “Hockey Moms for Truth.”

“We’re sort of a Saturday Night Live meets the Twitter Age,” CEO Jared Neumark said in an e-mail interview. Neumark said the company aims to crank out about two videos per week.

The Wikimedia Foundation has achieved its goal of raising over $6 million (in U.S. dollars) to sustain Wikipedia. As of Jan. 2, the campaign had generated just over $6.2 million from 125,000 donors from around the world. 

The San Francisco-based company said funds will be used to maintain and grow the Foundation’s technical infrastructure, which includes managing global traffic for Wikipedia.

A personal appeal from founder Jimmy Wales, published on the Wikimedia Foundation’s website on Dec. 23, 2008, resulted in a surge of more than 50,000 contributions in eight days, totaling $2 million and closing the gap towards the revenue goal.
