What's up with Google today? Renamed to Googe?


This is a screenshot I took of Google today. Either they are trying to be cute with the stem of the strawberry to be the L in their name or somebody has really messed up.


Either way this will be fixed soon so I have captured the screenshot so you can see...


Does anybody know what's up with this?

Google to Help Film Entire Universe

Google has joined a group of 19 universities and national labs to assist with surveying space and assisting in turning the captured nightly data (images, video) into useful public information - can everyone say: Google Universe!

Google sits in an interesting position to assist efforts like this. The LSST project; which stands for Large Synoptic Survey Telescope; will produce about 30 terabytes of image information every night. Seagate and Hitachi better hurry up with their new drive technology!

Google should be applauded for assisting in projects like this. One of the biggest barriers for undertaking some of these scientific expeditions is how to manage the vast and I mean vast amount of data produced.

Google also recently announced a major partnership with NASA as reported on Joe Duck's blog, link here: http://joeduck.wordpress.com/2006/12/17/nasa-google-space-research-project/
