Apparently Google is reusing it’s strategy to build their own equipment.

First they build their own PC’s and now an analytic reveals that they may build their own 10G switches.

What if they are followed by other big data centers?

If it is true this may change switch market.

On Intertop Google vice-president announced that Gmail will now support IMAP.

This will allow account owner to sync their e-mail between different mobile devices.

Google adds web presentation software to its offering Google Docs.

Now Google Docs is fully functional web based office suite.

Is is with basic features (for now), but how many of you are using full functionality of your office suite?

Google is adding more apps to his Linux repository.

They also have script to setup repositories, but unfortunately it does not recognize CentOS and yum enabled distribution. I’ve added this code to check if yum is installed:

# Check if yum is installed RHEL v5 and CentOS 4.x and 5
if [ '/bin/rpm -q yum' ]; then
PACKAGEMANAGER=yum

Resulting script is here:

Google repos for centos

NOTE: After downloading the file just rename it from .txt to .sh and run with the shell:

bash google-repo-setup_CentOS.sh

Currently you can find there only picasa and google desktop

Google news moved from simply linking to news stories to publish full stories after deal with four news agencies.

News stories from the Agence France-Presse (AFP), Associated Press (AP),  UK Press Association (PA) and the Canadian Press will now be hosted on the Google News site. In addition Google will detect duplicate stories.

It is reported that new version of Google Earth includes a Flight simulator of F-16 or SR-22.

It seems that this goodie is included only in Windows version.

Give it a try.

To find file on the web type following in Google:
