Are we trusting Google too much?

3

Are we trusting Google too much?

1. why should chrome warn us with a message when we clear browsing history?


Whenever we try to clear browsing history, chromes tells that there is incognito mode to use, is Google worried if you clear your entire browsing history from chrome?

What does Google do with your browsing history?
Here's a clear evidence, "YouTube", Google's YouTube shows video contents relevant to our browsing history stored in chrome. that's how your information is used to make you use their product(YouTube) more than what you do normally.
you can find the difference when you go to "YouTube" home page in both conditions
1. first without browsing history - everything cleared in chrome- visit YouTube home page
2. after doing couple of Google searches, let chrome shows some history and visit YouTube, you will feel the difference

2. why should chrome has separate log in session separating it from other google products.

when you logged in chrome, also when you logged in some of other google product like gmail, when you signout of gmail,chrome logged in session wont go.

chrome separate login session stores all your data ( you can control it by visiting settings, how many of us do that, what about people who doesn't have enough computer experience to change the settings ) user specific data stored in each of our google account right from browsing history to form input data's.

3. How does google map works - showing traffic information in the road we travel.



It does collect our location information including in which speed we are traveling, it collects every one who uses android mobile or signed in to google map atleast once and using some algorithm it gives back.


4. What will happen with Google Glass?

                    XX_____XX 

5. Not just above four items, there are lot more things.. like

     At first time when you open Google Chrome, it asks you to sign in with Google account. How many of you signed in without knowing that it is a log in for Google chrome to save your personal browsing data  in your account?
      Many would have no idea initially that it is a log-in specially for Google Chrome. and would have signed in directly thinking it is normal google product sign-in.

 Obviously, we are very much benefited and addicted to all those products, and there are ways we can control sharing our data to a certain level, but how many of us are really concerned about it, going to settings, searching where it is and switching it off?

Google Restricts Labels in blogger (robot.txt)

2

Google Search restricts Labels (Categories) for all the blogs in Blogger (BlogSpot)

If you see something like this in your webmaster tools, be cool don’t worry for this.

This is because

Reason: Each Label entries are not sub pages, they are just a well framed search query
For example:
When you click the Label – Windows Trick in coolcomputricks.co.cc, the url pointing to that label is this

http://www.coolcomputricks.co.cc/search/label/Windows%20Trick

If you see this url carefully, you can see “/search/” in it, this means it is not actually a new page to be crawled by the Google search bot, it just a search query url, where all the pages yielded by this search query url is already indexed, so it just says it restricts the labels (search query url), but all the pages in your site is already indexed and included in search engine

The main idea behind having labels in the blogs or website, is to make the users comfortable in selecting categories they wished.

Google can do Calculators job toooo!!!

C

Using the Google calculator:



Google’s calculator tries to understand the problem you are attempting to solve without requiring you to use special syntax. However, it may be helpful to know the most direct way to pose a question to get the best results. Listed below are a few suggestions for the most common type of expressions (and a few more esoteric ones).

Most operators come between the two numbers they combine, such as the plus sign in the expression 1+1.

Operator

Function

Example

+

addition

3+44

-

subtraction

13-5

*

Multiplication

7*8

/

Division

12/3

^

exponentiation(raise to a power of)

8^2

%

modulo(finds the remainder after division)

8%7

X choose Y

determines the number of ways of choosing a set of Y elements from a set of X elements

18 choose 4

nth root of x

calculates the nth root of a x

5th root of 32

X % of Y

computes X percent of Y

20% of 150

Some operators work on only one number and should come before that number. In these cases, it often helps to put the number in parentheses.

Operator

Function

Example

sqrt

square root

sqrt(9)

sin, cos, etc.

trigonometric functions (numbers are assumed to be radians)

sin(pi/3)

tan(45 degrees)

ln logarithm base e ln(17)

log logarithm base 10 log(1,000)

A few operators come after the number.

!

factorial

5!

Other good things to know

Parentheses can be used to enclose the parts of your expression that you want evaluated first. For example, (1+2)*3 causes the addition to happen before the multiplication.

The in operator is used to specify what units you want used to express the answer. Put the word in followed by the name of a unit at the end of your expression. This works well for unit conversions such as: 5 kilometers in miles.

You can use hexadecimal, octal and binary numbers. Prefix hexadecimal numbers with 0x, octal numbers with 0o and binary numbers with 0b. For example: 0x7f + 0b10010101.

The calculator understands many different units, as well as many physical and mathematical constants. These can be used in your expression. Many of these constants and units have both long and short names. You can use either name in most cases. For example, km and kilometer both work, as do c and the speed of light.

Feel free to experiment with the calculator as not all of its capabilities are listed here. To get you started, we’ve included a few expressions linked to their results.

1 a.u./c

56*78

1.21 GW / 88 mph

e^(i pi)+1

100 miles in kilometers

sine(30 degrees)

G*(6e24 kg)/(4000 miles)^2

0x7d3 in roman numerals

0b1100101*0b1001

Speed up Firefox

C
Internet Tips and Tricks - Speed up Firefox


Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?

That's the beauty of this program being open source.
Here's what you do:
In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.

Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connections.

Double Click on the following settings and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.

Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300


One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.

Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!
