Google - When the Giants become too big

It won't be too much if someone says that 2009 is ' Google Year ' because the mark that the search giant left for the world of technology is very bold.

They are present with ' rising popularity ' with a lot of projects . But not only that, Google also closed its 2009 in the presence of most hotspots, fierce controversies.

Expand

Referring to Google, we often think of the image of an online search engine. But now it is probably not wrong to assume that Google is gradually turning into a software company.

In April 2001, Google launched a Gmail email service that triggered a massive wave of gigantic capacities of several gigabytes. But only when Google directly confronted the largest software company Microsoft by launching Google Chrome browser many people were startled to realize that the search giant was big enough and began to expand.

In April 2008, the Chrome browser was born with a modern Javascript system that allows a significant improvement in web surfing speed and the independent working mechanism of tabs. Only 6 months later, Google continued to " steal " Microsoft's playground by officially announcing the project of building Chrome OS operating system. Google CEO Eric Schmidt said Chrome OS is a web operating system that acts as a web application so it can run on any computer without hardware requirements. Meanwhile, each new version of Microsoft Windows requires more "hard" hardware, which is disadvantageous and costly for users.

With Google, Chrome OS will not only be a " gunfire " to hit Microsoft Windows, but if successful, the operating system is also a launcher to help Google Apps, especially Google Docs, a web-based application package. Their growth grows to new heights and continues to attack the opponent's ' dairy cow '.

Not only was it engrossed in the battle to defeat Microsoft, Google also showed the world their ambition to be much greater with the launch of the Android mobile platform in 2008. Although it is only 1 year older, Android promised to be a force not small in the future. When Google Apps is more closely linked to the Chrome OS operating system, Android mobile operating system, and its Chrome Web browser, all changes will take place, promising or even reshaping the century. Current technology, can change the way people work and entertain.

In the last days of 2009, Google continued to shock the tech world when it announced it was preparing to launch its first mobile phone called the Nexus One . By this product, the search king has officially set foot in the field of hardware and more importantly the fertile telecommunications land. If exactly what they intended, the Nexus One will allow users to call and text freely and for free.

But Google is still . Google

Be passionate about fighting on new fronts but Google still does not forget to strengthen its strengths in the field of search. They provide Public DNS to speed up browsers, especially when users use Google's basic services like search, email, and Google Apps. They built a new web protocol called SPDY with the ability to limit potential risks and help users speed up web surfing with the traditional HTTP protocol.

Under Bing's pressure - a search engine built by Microsoft that was launched in June 2009, Google decided to speed up the process of building a real-time search engine, which means that search results would not " lie still." 'as before that will be updated continuously every second according to information from social networks, blogs. In addition, Google is testing a range of new search features, such as Goggles, a " keyword " information search service that is a photo; voice search and translation technology .

In the field of mobile search, Google is developing a utility called ' Google Suggest ', which can provide smart suggestions for mobile location search service users.

And start to become ' obnoxious '

Greed if not rationally rationalized will make people obnoxious and Google has followed this path. The best example of hate is the book digitization project called Google Books. Google's plan is to translate millions of books in all languages ​​around the world into digital and into a library that allows people to access it freely on the Internet. But they have encountered an extremely strong opposition from most countries in the world such as China, Germany, France, England and even in their home country. French President Nicolas Sarkozy has recently stated: ' We will not let the entire national literary heritage be stolen by a big friendly friend named Google '. Saying that, on December 18, 2009, the Paris court ruled that the Google Books program violated French copyright law and penalized Google for 10,000 euros per day until there was no other work of France exists on the search giant's library.

Previously, on November 16, 2009, the Association of Publishers and Authors outside the United States also won a lawsuit against Google Books and forced the company to re-draft the agreement with the authors of their works. posted online.

However, Google Books ' is not yet ' compared to the imprints they have left in 2009 compared to the Google battle with media magnate Rupert Murdoch. Originating from the global press crisis in 2009, Rupert Murdoch has criticized Google harshly and called them " thieves " or " monsters specializing in blood-sucking newspapers ". According to media and Murdoch, Google took advantage of news websites to attract web users and use it as a source to earn money from its online advertising services.
