Inzwischen haben sich die Gerüchte mehr oder weniger bewahrheitet. Google selbst mahlen die Mühlen der großen Browserhersteller zu langsam und nun versucht man übers Hintertürchen in HTML 5 zu kommen.
Gears soll der Schlüssel werden. Seit Version 0.3 ist es nicht mehr nur eine Browsererweiterung die Online Anwendungen auch ohne Internet verfügbar macht, sondern eine Implementierung der Browsertechnik der Zukunft, die aktuellen Browsern wesentliche Teile von HTML 5 durch die Hintertür bringt.
Bei HTML 5 ist noch nicht alles ganz festgelegt. Daher versucht Google nun mit Gears die Entwicklung voran zu treiben. Gears unterstützt neben Windows, Linux und Mac auch Windows Mobile. In die Browser Firefox und Internet Explorer wird Gears als Erweiterung installiert. Mit Version 0.4 will man dann den Safari unterstützen. Opera arbeitet an der Implementierung von Gears in Opera.
Gears ist schon jetzt eine plattformübergreifende Webtechnologie.
Gears macht aber nicht nur Anwendungen wie Google Docs, Remember the milk oder den Reader offline nutzbar, nein es kann auch dazu eingesetzt werden, Anwendungen zu Read the rest of this entry »

Very important!! You should always use SSL (https://) for Gmail!
A tool that automatically steals IDs of non-encrypted sessions and breaks into Google Mail accounts has been presented at the Defcon hackers’ conference in Las Vegas.
Last week Google introduced a new feature in Gmail that allows users to permanently switch on SSL and use it for every action involving Gmail, and not only, authentication. Users [...]

Google’s philanthropic arms, Google.org, is investing a little over $10 million
into the development of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Rather than extracting heat from the ground a few hundred feet down (or less) as traditional geothermal systems do, EGS goes several kilometers deep into the hot rock under the Earth.
If we could tap just two percent of that heat under the continental United States, one MIT study estimates that would supply more than 2500 times our energy needs. But getting that hot rock cost-effectively will require new technology. (See the video above for an illustration of a 50 megawatt EGS project in Australia).
The money will be broken up in the following way: $6.25 million will go to AltaRock Energy, another $4 million will go to Potter Drilling, and a $500,000 grant will go to a geothermal lab at Southern Methodist University.

Google’s data centers are the object of great fascination, and the intrigue about these facilities is only deepened by Google’s secrecy about its operations. We’ve written a lot about Google’s facilities, and thought it would be useful to summarize key information in a series of Frequently Asked Questions: The Google Data Center FAQ.
Why is Google so secretive about its data centers?
Google believes its data center operations give it a competitive advantage, and says as little as possible about these facilities. The company believes that details such as the size and power usage of its data centers could be valuable to competitors. To help maintain secrecy, Google typically seeks permits for its data center projects using Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs) that don’t mention Google, such as Lapis LLC (North Carolina) or Tetra LLC (Iowa).
How many data centers does Google have?
Nobody knows for sure, and the company isn’t saying. The conventional wisdom is that Google has dozens of data centers. We’re aware of at least 12 significant Google data center installations in the United States, with another three under construction. In Europe, Google is known to have equipment in at least five locations, with new data centers being built in two other venues.
Where are Google’s data centers located?
Google has disclosed the sites of four new facilities announced in 2007, but many of its older data center locations remain under wraps. Much of Google’s data center equipment is housed in the company’s own facilities, but it also continues to lease space in a number of third-party facilities. Much of its third-party data center space is focused around Read the rest of this entry »

..always wanted to know. Now you got it!
Data Center Knowledge recently published a “Google Data Center FAQ”. As most other web geeks, we here at Pingdom tend to find this kind of information quite fascinating. We have extracted some interesting tidbits, and also used the information to construct a map with all current and under-construction Google data center locations that are known today.
So how many data centers do Google use, and where are they?
Google data center locations
If you include data centers that are under construction, Google has 19 locations in the US where they operate data centers, 12 in Europe, one in Russia, one in South America, and three in Asia. Not all of the locations are dedicated Google data centers, since they sometimes lease space in other companies’ data centers.
