  6. Google Buzz: Is Google too late to the game?

    Explore Article ZDNet Technology News

    Google Buzz is the newest Google product that exists. It can easily be summed up by saying it's the same as Twitter -- but integrated with your Gmail inbox, and a couple extra built-in features that you can see in this video. The question isn't whether Google's feature is good or not, but rather if it's going to take off quickly? Twitter has become pretty much the status quo as far as real-time updates go. Even if it's connected to Gmail and is pre-populated with your friends out of the box, it's not going to be easy for Google to compete with Twitter. Google had purchased a company called Jaiku a long time ago, but failed to make anything of...

  7. Google Working With National Security Agency, Report Says

    In a partnership that may inspire some to put their tinfoil hats on, Google has reportedly turned to the National Security Agency for help in improving the company's security infrastructure. The new partnership is still being finalized, but will be aimed at preventing future attacks like the one that hit Google in December, according to The Washington Post. This is not the first time the NSA has been tapped to help a U.S. corporation with cyber security, but the purported partnership would certainly be unique since Google's servers house such a vast collection of user data including search histories, e-mail, and personal documents.

    Explore Article ZDNet Technology News

    I found myself in an interesting Email exchange with a number of people. The topic of conversation was "does Google use virtualization?" I was fascinated when several people asserted that Google didn't use virtualization based upon Google's own statements. I suppose that would be true if one was working with the belief that visualization was equal to the use of virtual machine software to create virtual servers, virtual clients and the like. This, after all, is what makes these types of discussions so interesting and so much fun. Virtualization is more than the use of virtual machine technology Over the last 35 or so years of IT history, however, virtualization has been a term used to speak about many different...
