UPCOMING GOOGLE PROJECTS:-

Nest Labs is a home automation company headquartered in Palo Alto, California, that designs and manufactures sensor-driven, Wi-Fi-enabled,selflearning,programmable thermostats


Project Ara is the codename for an initiative that aims to develop an open hardware platform for creating highly modular smartphones. The platform will include a structural frame (endoskeleton that holds smartphone modules of the owner's choice), such as a display, camera or an extra battery. It would allow users to swap out malfunctioning modules or upgrade individual modules as innovations emerge, providing longer lifetime cycles for the handset, and potentially reducing electronic waste


Project Tango aspires to change the way smart phones see. It adds 3D sensors to Android phones to allow the devices to create 3D maps of their environment in real time, opening up a variety of compelling potential applications.


Project Loon is a research and development project being developed by Google with the mission of providing Internet access to rural and remote areas. The project uses high-altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 32 km (20 mi) to create an aerial wireless network with up to 3G-like speeds. It was named Project Loon, since Google itself found the very idea of providing internet access to the remaining 5 billion population quite unprecedented and crazy. The system aims to bring Internet access to remote and rural areas poorly served by existing provisions, and to improve communication during natural disasters to affected regions


Google Glass is a type of wearable technology with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD). It was developed by Google with the mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer. Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format. Wearers communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands


Smart contact lens

Add tiny circuits to a contact lens, and you might be able to measure glucose

levels in tears. Google is working on just such a contact lens to help with the

management of diabetes. And that's just the beginning of the technology's

potential medical applications


Self-driving cars

While the notion of a self-driving car may seem far-fetched, Google and other

companies have already demonstrated the technology. Nissan said it plans to be ready

to sell a driverless car by 2020. Google and the automakers experimenting with similar

systems now need to create the political, legal, and social conditions that will allow self-

driving cars on public roads.


Robots

Last December, Google bought eight companies involved in the development of robots.

That's not an exploratory investment; it's a major commitment, one that appears to

dovetail nicely with the autonomous navigation systems developed for Google's

driverless cars. One of the companies, Boston Dynamics, makes robots for military

applications.

FUN FACTS ABOUT GOOGLE

There are more than 2 million Google searches per second.

Google's search index is more than 100 million gigabytes in size. It would take 100,000 one-terabyte personal drives to contain the same amount of data


Google has a pet T-rex, named Stan, which lives at their California headquarters. Founders bought it to remind the employees to not let Google go extinct.


Google HQ rents goats from California Grazing to mow their lawns and fields. The employees think that it’s a lot cuter to watch goats do the mowing than lawn mowers


Google has the largest network of translators in the world They use the 20% / 5% rules. If at least 20% of people

use a feature, then it will be included. At least 5% of people need to use a particular search preference before it will make it into the ‘Advanced Preferences’.

They have found in user testing, that a small number of people are very typical of the larger user base. They run labs continually and always monitoring how people use a page of results.

Gmail was used internally for nearly 2years prior to launch to the public. They discovered there was approximately 6 types of email users, and Gmail has been designed to accommodate these 6.


Google has acquired 24 companies this year alone that's about three companies a month.

One of the biggest leap in search usage came about when they introduced their much improved spell checker giving birth to the “Did you mean…” feature. This instantly doubled their traffic, but they had some interesting discussions on how best to place that information, as most people simply tuned that out. But they discovered the placement at the bottom of the results was the most effective area.

The infamous “I feel lucky” is nearly never used. However, in trials it was found that removing it would somehow reduce the Google experience. Users wanted it kept. It was a comfort button.

57% of American kids say ‘Google’ as their first word.


Google has photographed more than 5 million miles of road for its Street View maps


Google's first ever Twitter post was as satisfyingly geeky as you could hope for. The message, sent in February 2009, reads "I'm 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010."

Things You Didn't Know You Could Do With Google


A search for "do a barrel roll" or "Z or R twice" will spin the page


Searching for "tilt" or "askew" will tilt the page


Want to recursively run searches for recursion? Search for "recursion."


Google's playful spirit comes out when you ask it to "define anagram..."


Searching for "zerg rush" creates a search page being eaten by 'O's. Click each O three times to kill it.

"Graph for (math function)" shows the function plot(NO CHEATING ON HOMEWORK)
