http://tr.im/rlLb
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.

Google Talk Translates Your Chats

Google Talk Translates Your Chats
Google Talk IM service: bots (bot is short for robot, a program that mimics real conversation or serves some task in a chat channel) which will translate whatever you say into another language.
This is how it works: add en2zh@bot.talk.google.com as a friend in Google Talk and send it a message. It’s a bot that will translate whatever you say from English to Chinese.
For other languages, add any of the other 29 translation bots: ar2en, bg2en, de2en, de2fr, el2en, en2ar, en2de, en2el, en2es, en2fr, en2it, en2ja, en2ko, en2nl, en2ru, en2zh, es2en, fi2en, fr2de, fr2en, hi2en, hr2en, it2en, ja2en, ko2en, nl2en, ru2en, uk2en, ur2en, zh2en. If the names seem confusing to you, check this list of two-letter language abbreviations for clarification. The syntax is “[from language]2[to language]@bot.talk.google.com”

Timeline ... Google: Company History and Milestones
http://xtimeline.com/business/Google-s-Timeline
Timeline ... Google: Company History and Milestones
Google is a play on the word googol, which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, Mathematics and the Imagination by Kasner and James Newman. It refers to the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google's use of the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense, seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web.
