I didn't know before, that Google Maps knows where I'm living I'm living here, in the center. I can almost see my car.
Based on information found buried deep within the GMail's javascript source, Garett Rogers in a post at ZDNet entitled "GMail code hints at coming domain feature" gives a pretty good hint that Google is developing a service that will make GMail as a server. The code name of this service is "Caribou".
What makes Garett Rogers say that is these portions of javascript code from GMail:

In the Google Help center the answer to the question "Does Google censor search results?" is updated. Here is what one can read now:
Here is what the answer was before the update:
It is Google's policy not to censor search results. However, in response to local laws, regulations, or policies, we may do so. When we remove search results for these reasons, we display a notice on our search results pages. Please note: For some older removals (before March 2005), we may not show a notice at this time.

Google does evil, or at least they are not fair

Many sites on the internet such as "Google Blogoscoped", "Digital Point", "JenSense" and others reported that Google has added this phrase about adsense referrals without informing users (The problem is with the "90 days"):
* An AdSense referral is counted when a publisher, who has never previously enrolled in AdSense, creates an account and earns at least $100.00 within 90 days of sign-up. The referred publisher must be eligible for payment to qualify as a successful referral.
In the Google official Blog one can read in a post entitled "And now, News" by Krishna Bharat the Creator of Google News:
We're taking Google News out of beta! When we launched the English-language edition in September 2002, we entered untested waters with a grand experiment in news browsing - using computers to organize the world's news in real time and providing a bird's eye view of what's being reported on virtually any topic.
Google announced that their Talk service is supporting the industry standard XMPP protocol (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) now. The announce has been made public in the Google Official Blog by Mike Jazayeri, the Product Manager of GoogleTalk. What does this mean? Well, it means that anyone who has an IM service provider that supports XMPP can talk with GoogleTalk users and vis-versa. This is great! May be we are getting closer to the day where the IM service will be like the phone service. No matter who you have and who your friends have as provider, you can always talk to each other.
Probably you know it already: A free service for Google called Google talk that permits you to talk with and send instant messages to your friends. This service is in beta and requires a Gmail username and password. So to use it, you have to have a Gmail account.
There is a good feature and a missing feature with Google talk:
The missing one: Google Talk is not multi language. It is currently available in English only.
The Good one is: No ads, no pop-ups or clutter, just a clean and simple interface.
