Virtual Keyboards in Google Search
http://bit.ly/ahNhIo
Virtual Keyboards in Google Search
Our user research has shown that many people are more comfortable formulating search queries in their own language but have difficulty typing these queries into Google.
To overcome the difficulty they face in typing in their local language scripts, some people have resorted to copying and pasting from other sites and from online translation tools. But there’s an easier way — a virtual, or “on-screen” keyboard, lets you type directly in your local language script in an easy and consistent manner, no matter where you are or what computer you’re using.

A Look into Google’s Insights
Ever wondered what the world is searching for on the internet? Google has this tool called Google Insights for Search that helps advertisers and marketers understand user behavior. The tool offers a comprehensive set of statistics based on search volume.
Google Insights is valuable when assessing how search-friendly your business or product is. You can compare seasonal trends, geographic distributions, and category-specific searches, and you can group all these variables together if you want to make your search even more specific.

Google to Launch Operating System
Google announced on their blog that they’re releasing an operating system: Google Chrome OS.
"Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we're already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve."

Google Wave
http://wave.google.com/
Google Wave is a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web, release late 2009.
Watch the demo video, sign up for updates and learn more about how to develop with Google Wave.
Open source
A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.
A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

A Fresh Look At Google Gears
http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/10/04/googles-gears-not-just-for-offline-accessibility/
A Fresh Look At Google Gears
The overall goal of Gears is to bestow upon web applications much of the same functionality enjoyed by desktop apps.
And it’s doing so through a browser extension that can be installed for a range of browsers (Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer) on a range of operating systems (Windows, Windows Mobile, Mac OS, and Linux).
With the release of Google’s own Chrome browser, some users don’t even have to install Gears; it just comes pre-loaded, making Chrome a super browser of sorts from the get-go.
