badware.org blocking websites, google censorship

Google is now partially censoring websites that are believed to have spyware or badware. You get a badware page about warning you and the text URL of the link but there is no link to continue on.

This should be added to controversy. Ie, what gives right google to decide what is badware and warn when they dont warn about other sites like smoking, etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wikitalk009 (talk • contribs) 11:41, 24 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

A bit strange that you can't tell the difference between visiting a web site that installs unwanted software on your computer and a site with words about smoking on. ••Briantist•• talk 23:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is not censorship, they ae still lettinng you go to the sites. It is just so that people's computers are safer. "Smoking on" is a social issue, and google is not censored, exept for porn and stuff like that. And in China. ffm yes? 16:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Google Tv

gogog google! The creator of googles father was born in 1947 and he was in the vietnamese warIm sure many of you may have heard of this video by "Infinite Solutions" If not look it up on google blogs. They seem to show proof and show you a way that is is real and how to get it. Other people claim to have tried it, but very few people seem to be showing proof. My question is, is this a hoax?

- Yes. Technostalgia 23:14, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We should at least give it a mention in the article. No people gave proof, but no ones proved it wrong either. 24.164.18.127 02:47, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:CITE. We are not a directory of rumors, slashdot is for that. We need reliable information, not speculation. ffm yes? 16:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The other videos produced by Infinite Solutions seem to be hoaxes. For example, see the very serious sounding video showing how to use a cell phone with ethernet wrapped around it suspended inside a salad bowl to get better wireless networking (!!).


The entire article is a joke, clearly written by Google staffers. A gigantic multinational organisation which has shown exponential growth and which keeps information on it's users ?indefinitely and what do we get? Nonsense about April fools jokes. Some info on their financial operation, takeover plans etc is essential. Everything that's wrong with Wiki at the moment can be seen in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Borsabil (talk • contribs) 15:18, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

when you do a search on google, underneith each link is the web adress followed by a number. like "www.1234567.com -57k" what would the 57k mean? J.L.Main 01:02, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Straight from Google help (http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=35891): " This number is the size of the text portion of the web page, and gives you some idea of how quickly it might display.

I have renominated this article for featured status. The April 2004 nomination cited lack of references and cultural impact info as the primary reasons of failure.

Recent Changes to Article Summary

Recently, the article's summary section has been dramatically increased in size and wording. I'm not certain on who made these changes, but I feel that it could hinder the nomination for being a featured article. There are also other changes that really need to be made to this article, because recently things have been unnecessarily edited, leaving just a bigger mess.

Does anyone else see the motive in me re-editing the changes to the summary section? Thanks. Mambo Jambo 16:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the edit history, it should be obvious that I edited the LEAD paragraph, trying to make it a better summary of the article conforming to standards in WP:LEAD. If you can improve this, please do. Dr. Cash 17:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Enterprise products

Currently:

In 2007, Google launched Google Apps Premium Edition, a software suite for businesses that provides e-mail, instant messaging, calendar, word processing, as well as a spreadsheet program.[43] This product is targeted primarily at the business user, and intended to compete directly versus Microsoft's Office suite, with a price of approximately $50 per user per year compared to $500 per user for Microsoft Office.[43]

This section needs to be re-done. "Docs and Spreadsheets" needs to be mentioned in the previous section about Applications and not here (they're available without the Apps Premium Edition); this service does not compete with MS Office (even "Docs and Spreadsheets" don't really compete with it). And there's nothing approximate about $50 per user per year fee. -Olegos 23:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Information moved to the section on products. It is not notable enough for its own main section. Plus, it's largely speculation anyways, but considering that it got a decent amount of press coverage, a brief mention might be noteworthy. Dr. Cash 19:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Google Inc. is developing its own mobile phone, according to industry insiders and analysts, while a Google official in Spain last week acknowledged the company is "investigating" such a project.

Google isn't commenting directly on leaks from Europe and the United States which describe a low-cost, Internet-connected phone with a color, wide-screen design. Newspaper and blog reports in recent months have Google shopping its phone design to potential mobile phone manufacturing partners in Asia.For more on the subject visit :http://www.webdesigningcompany.net "Mobile is an important area for Google," Google spokeswoman Erin Fors said on Friday. "We remain focused on creating applications and establishing and growing partnerships with industry leaders to develop innovative services for users worldwide. However, we have nothing further to announce."

Gadget enthusiasts who only two months ago were obsessed with the potential revolutionary impact on the phone industry of Apple Inc.'s iPhone device -- due out in June and at prices starting at $500 -- have shifted their attention to whether Google is developing an even lower-cost phone.

April Fool:Newest Google guffaw

Monday, April 02, 2007 Newest Google guffaw: High-speed Internet through your toilet By Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Presiding over a company with a market value of $143 billion apparently gives Silicon Valley's most famous billionaires a good sense of humor -- and a case of corporate potty mouth.

Senior executives at Google Inc. launched their annual April Fools' Day prank Sunday, posting a link on the company's home page to a site offering consumers free high-speed wireless Internet through their home plumbing systems.

Code-named Dark Porcelain, Google said its Toilet Internet Service Provider (TiSP) works with Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Vista operating system. But sorry -- septic tanks are incompatible with the system's requirements.

The gag included a mock press release quoting Google co-founder and president Larry Page, a step-by-step online installation manual, and a scatological selection of Frequently Asked Questions. On some Google sites, the company's official logo -- a lticolored Google that changes according to the season and on holidays -- substituted a commode for the second g. There's actually a thriving little underground community that's been studying this exact solution for a long time, Page said in the facetious statement. And today our Toilet ISP team is pleased to be leading the way through the sewers, up out of your toilet and -- splat -- right onto your PC. Marissa Mayer, a Google vice president, called TiSP a breakthrough product, particularly for those users who, like Larry himself, do much of their best thinking in the bathroom. TiSP is the latest April Fools joke at the Mountain View, Calif.-based company, where hijinks pervade cubicles all year long. In blogs, Google employees joke about the recent injection of green dye into milk in the cafeteria, while another talks about zany underlings filling the vice president of engineering's office with sand. Visit me at http://www.webdesigningcompany.net. Anyway Eric Raymond, a software developer in Malvern, Pa., and author of the New Hacker's Dictionary, said TiSP nailed several important tenets of hacker humor.

The concept of free wireless access parallels a legitimate, four-year deal between Google and EarthLink Inc. to provide free wireless Internet service throughout San Francisco starting in early 2008.

As part of the spoof, Google said TiSP would be offered in three speeds: Trickle, The No. 2, and Royal Flush.

The leitmotif of hacker humor is precise reasoning from utterly bizarre premises, and once you're in that groove, you're absolutely fearless about going deeper, Raymond said. We also have a tendency to deliberately zigzag between highly intellectual humor and utter slapstick. The more zigzags you can manage in a single spoof, the funnier it is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Charlesmartinn (talk • contribs) 05:27, 5 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Web Hosting

Hello,

Does anyone know whether Google is concidering starting a webhosting project, offering webspace for people to host their site? It seems as a good idea and logical step for Google to take.

Thank you, LAUBO 17:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Google Earth

Google Earth really ought to be listed under "acquisitions" since it was acquired by purchasing Keyhole, the company that originally developed it... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.79.186.127 (talk) 13:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I personally don't think that searching for "google" on wikipedia should take you to the article on google.com. I think that the word "google" is actually a mathematical term. Let's not help propogate stupidity on the internet, but rather keep things clear. And no, I'm not signing my post. That's totally uneccessary and needs to be omited from the wikipedia discussion procedure. It doesn't cut down on anything.

The statement that all Google Earth images can be found elsewhere should be removed or modified, since the images on Street View are unique to Google Earth. 70.118.225.241 09:15, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly, navigating to deja.com brings you to groups.google.com

Google did not originally own deja.com. Their "original" domain has always been google.com.

Environmental Records Section

I would like to add an Environmental Records Section to the Google Wiki Page. I feel that it is relevant to the company's image and moto. Here are a few sample programs at Google that support environmental issues:

  • Company dining facilities that serve organic sustainable foods.
  • Charitable contributions to organizations that fight global warming.
  • On-site farmers markets.
  • Composting of food waste and use of compostable plates and silverware.
  • Use of green fuels and solar power.
  • Fully subsidized employee bus pools for commuting employees.

The motto...

Isn't the Google's motto "Dont'be evil" instead of "You can make money without doing evil"? The aricle states:

Google's corporate philosophy includes statements such as, "You can make money without doing evil,"

But there is no source for that. Google gives us more results for the first version of the motto (click) than for the second (click). Google Story (a red link? impossible :>) — ISBN 055380457X and ISBN 978-0553804577 (Amazon link) also tells us it's the first version. Any ideas? Andrij Kursetsky ⊗ 20:29, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Slightly unorthodox request

Hello, I'm trying to reach a human at Google that knows where once can make a request to have a bot do automated searches (the TOS are clear that this is a no-no without permission). The help email addy gives no joy (they simply quote the TOS back).

I've had an offer from Kylu to resend the request from a Foundation email address, but we're still laking a destination for the request.

Google caving in to the demands of some groups

There's nothing in the article about Google's history of giving in to the demands of some groups. The Church of Scientology demanded that they demote anti-Scientology websites in favour of the official ones. George W. Bush demanded that a site critical of his policies be demoted on searches for the phrase "dumb motherfucker". China demanded that Google remove links to sites appearing in searches about "freedom" or "democracy". Google has consistently acquiesced to the demands of these groups and others. --Darth Borehd 23:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
