Symbian Happy To Collaborate With Google

Android developers and Google (NSDQ: GOOG) engineers may be frustrated with how Google’s mobile platform is developing, but it seems that its mythic powers to inspire fear in its competitors haven’t waned a bit. Today in Tokyo, Nigel Clifford, chief executive of Symbian, whose software powers some 60 percent of all smartphones, told a group of reporters that it would be “happy to collaborate” with Google, reports Reuters. Indeed, Clifford noted that Symbian already works with Google by putting its map applications and search engine on its platforms. Further collaboration between the two “could be on the application level or…could be on the more fundamental operating system level,” mused Clifford.

Google URL Index Hits 1 Trillion

mytrip points out news that Google's index of unique URLs has reached a milestone: one trillion. Google's blog provides some more information, noting, "The first Google index in 1998 already had 26 million pages, and by 2000 the Google index reached the one billion mark.

To keep up with this volume of information, our systems have come a long way since the first set of web data Google processed to answer queries. Back then, we did everything in batches: one workstation could compute the PageRank graph on 26 million pages in a couple of hours, and that set of pages would be used as Google's index for a fixed period of time. Today, Google downloads the web continuously, collecting updated page information and re-processing the entire web-l

MS, Yahoo! and Google

The ladies and (especially) gentlemen of Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google trooped into the US Congress to inform US politicians about how good and how bad and how anti-competitive the Yahoo!-Google advert deal is; Yahoo! got things off with a joke by their lawyer Michael Callahan that was pretty funny but disrespectful: ''With all due respect to Google, we have every expectation of fighting them and winning;'' Brad Smith, Microsoft solicitor, explained to the congresspeople that if search is the key to the Internet, as ''many'' believe, then ''this deal will put Google in a position to own that gateway and the information that flows through it''; so it's probably fair to say that when Microsoft takes over Yahoo!, this deal will follow the dodo and other extinct species.
