Funny Domains By Microsoft & Google!

Hi friends,

I think 70% of us have an idea about Microsoft's current web search engine, Bing.com. (formerly Live Search, Windows Live Search, and MSN Search & is advertised as a "decision engine"). When you look into the Whois Record for bing.com, you can see this dot com domain is registered by Microsoft Corporation [No wonder :)]. No problem @ all. Now here comes the funny thing related to bing.com. When I was surfing the internet, I noticed an article says “fuckbing.com is owned by Microsoft”. When I try to open this domain, it was redirected to Bing Search Engine with the search keyword “fuckbing”. I think it's their trick to get more attention to bing :) [When a person who are angry at bing, and type that website in, will be redirect to bing instead..Great!]. Don't think there exists only 1 domain among this category. Microsoft has been main topic for jokes all over the net . so this time microsoft played it safe by buying the related domains to their new search engine “Bing”.
Below are some of funny domains related to Bing by Microsoft Corporation (Whois Record Snap also Given).

Domain Name : www.fuckbing.com (Whois)

Domain Name : www.bingsucks.com (Whois)

Do you think this type of domains only by Microsoft. No...This field also covered by Renowned Google Inc. In the same way of Microsoft, Google also owns one of the Domain Name....

www.googlesucks.com (Whois)

See this list is not complete. You can see this type of funny domains by many other IT/Non-IT Giants. Only you need some time & an Internet Connection...:)

Go With Google Go!

Hi friends,

Finally Google came with it's own Programming Language named "Go". It was released under an open source license. Google is no stranger to the open source world. The company has released the underlying code for several of its tools and services under open source licenses over the years. At first glance, Go looks a bit like C++, but borrows some elements, such as garbage collection, from scripting languages like Python and JavaScript. But Go’s real standout feature is its speed. A demo video on YouTube shows the entire language — over 120K lines of code — compiling in under 10 seconds.

Like many of Google’s open source projects, Go began life as a 20 percent time project (the time Google gives its engineers to experiment) and evolved into something more serious. Go has been in development for over two years now, but Google is hoping that, by releasing Go under a BSD-style license, a community will develop and build Go into a viable choice for software development.

In its Go FAQ, Google explains the main motivations behind the project:

“No major systems language has emerged in over a decade, but over that time the computing landscape has changed tremendously. There are several trends:

- Computers are enormously quicker but software development is not faster.

- Dependency management is a big part of software development today but the “header files” of languages in the C tradition are antithetical to clean dependency analysis—and fast compilation.

- There is a growing rebellion against cumbersome type systems like those of Java and C++, pushing people towards dynamically typed languages such as Python and JavaScript.

- Some fundamental concepts such as garbage collection and parallel computation are not well supported by popular systems languages.

- The emergence of multicore computers has generated worry and confusion.”

Google Says,

Go is....

1. simple

2. fast

3. safe

4. concurrent

5. fun &

6. open source

Then what are you waiting for? Go for it @ golang.org

Project 10^100 : 16 "big ideas"

Google has finally whittled down the more than 150,000 ideas submitted as part of its Project 10^100 to 16 themes that will compete for $10 million in funding. It's taken far longer than Google had originally anticipated, but the results of the company's 10th anniversary project to solicit ideas that could change the world are ready for inspection. Google is asking the public to vote on the most worthy of the 16 "idea themes" that it has identified from the submissions it has received over the past year.

“We hoped to capture the imagination of people around the world and offer a way to bring their best ideas to fruition. We were overwhelmed by the response — you sent us more than 150,000 ideas (approximately 10^5.2) in more than 25 languages and it took more than 3,000 Googlers in offices around the world to review the submissions,” Google announced. “We’ve pooled similar ideas into a set of 16 top idea themes aimed at addressing some important common goals, from making government more transparent to driving innovation in public transport.”

Because there were so many submissions, Google has decided to group them together into 16 different overall theme ideas. Also, they’re asking you to vote to help figure out which of the 16 themes the project’s advisory board should be looking at to pick the 5 projects that will get funded.

Here’s the full list of 16 themes to choose from:

- Encourage positive media depictions of engineers and scientists
- Build better banking tools for everyone
- Work toward socially conscious tax policies
- Collect and organize the world’s urban data
- Create more efficient landmine removal programs
- Drive innovation in public transport
- Build real-time, user-reported news service
- Make educational content available online for free
- Create real-time natural crisis tracking system
- Make government more transparent
- Help social entrepreneurs drive change
- Provide quality education to African students
- Create genocide monitoring and alert system
- Enhance science and engineering education
- Promote health monitoring and data analysis
- Create real-world issue reporting system

Voting will end on October 8, at which point the the advisory board will pick the five finalists which Google will then reveal. Then it will ask for proposals from individuals or organizations that want to help implement these ideas.
