What Google’s Bouncy-ball Logo Means: “Get a Girlfriend!”

What Google’s Bouncy-ball Logo Means: “Get a Girlfriend!”

Doctors say that if you are wondering what’s up with today’s Google homepage, fear not: The answer exists in the Big G.

Made of blue balls. Get it?

“It is code for ‘Welcome to the nerd club, virgins! We brought bagels’.”

So far, Google hasn’t found us deserving to divulge why their homepage is featuring mouse-avoiding balls, saying only that it’s “fast, fun and interactive, just the way we think search should be.”

Clearly, it’ll have something to do with Google’s big nerd-fest tomorrow, where the company’s going to unveil GoogleBalls, which will… um… ah, who gives a sh-t? It’s called GoogleBalls, FFS*.

“The guy/gal whose job it is to come up with the different Google logos is the bomb,” Tweeted yet another a–hole who thinks, ‘Oh my GOD, my current thought is so poignant, I must share it with the universe. “Love seeing it change on occasion – and no, I do NOT live a boring life. ; )”

Others were less than impressed.

“I wouldn’t let one of the blue balls join. Now it spells Coogle. The world is now a better place.”

Google Instant Searches the Web As You Type

Google Instant Searches the Web As You Type

Google has rekindle its love for speedy Web searches with Google Instant, a new version of the search engine that displays results as you type.

When typing a search query with Google Instant, results appear after the first letter is entered, and they update as the user types. Marissa Mayer, Google’s vice president of search and user experience, said results are actually delivered “before you type,” because Google Instant predicts and automatically completes search terms.

According to Google, a typical searcher spends nine seconds entering a query, and 15 seconds searching for answers. Google hopes to shave two to five seconds per search using Google Instant.

Google claims that Instant won’t considerably slow down Internet connections, because the amount of data delivered for search terms is relatively small, and because the system only sends parts of the page that change when more typing alters a search result. For connections that are already slow, Google Instant automatically turns off, and users can also shut off the service through their user preferences or by clicking the drop down box to the right of the search bar.

Google boosts Chrome 6 speed into dead heat with leaders

Google boosts Chrome 6 speed into dead heat with leaders

New version is 17% faster than Chrome 5, 2.5 times faster than Firefox 3.6

Google’s Chrome 6 is 17% faster than the version it replaced, putting it in a virtual dead heat with the speed leaders, Opera and Safari, according to benchmark scores.

When Google celebrated the second anniversary of Chrome’s launch last week, Brian Rakowski, the browser’s director of product management, said: “A lot of things have changed in the last two years [in browsers], but the one thing we’ve learned is that speed matters.”

Tests run by Computerworld support Rakowski’s claim that speed matters: Chrome 6 is Google’s fastest browser ever at rendering JavaScript.

But although Chrome 6 is nearly 17% faster than May’s Chrome 5, it’s still slightly slower than both Opera 10.61 and Safari 5, the No. 1 and No. 2 browsers, respectively.

The speed race is tighter than ever, however; the SunSpider times of Opera, Safari and Chrome are within 12 milliseconds each other.

While that trio was essentially in a photo finish, Mozilla’s Firefox remained out of contention for the title of “Fastest Browser.” Firefox 3.6.9 beat only Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) in the JavaScript trials, and was two-and-a-half times slower than Chrome 6.

Mozilla will have better luck later this year when it ships Firefox 4. The newest preview, Firefox 4 Beta 4, was much more competitive than its production-level cousin: Chrome 6 was only 29% faster than Firefox Beta 4.

Google Chrome 5 Beta

If you’re using the stable version of Google Chrome, the latest beta release (Google Chrome 5.0.375.29 for Windows, Mac and Linux) will be a pleasant surprise. Here are 10 things you should try after installing Chrome 5 beta:

1. Google Chrome remembers zoom settings for each domain. Go to http://www.nytimes.com, zoom using Ctrl+ or Ctrl-, close the tab and reopen it.

2. Remove individual items from the history. Go to the History tab (Ctrl+H), click on “Edit items”, select the pages you want to remove and click on “Remove selected pages”.

3. The new bookmark manager is an HTML page that opens in a new tab. It looks better than the previous manager and it has the advantage that extensions will be able to add new features.

4. Google Chrome can synchronize themes and preferences, in addition to bookmarks.
