Google-Countdown-learnsomuch
Okay, we’re not entirely sure what Google is counting down to [ahem, New Year], but when you go to the Google homepage and click on the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button without typing a query, a countdown time appears with more than 1.7 million seconds remaining as of 3 PM Pacific Time. Apparently this is rumoured to be a countdown to the New Year.
However, what if it isn’t a countdown to the New Year but rather a Countdown to the release of the new Google Nexus One smartphone?
I’m not that good at mathematics to work out whether the amount of “seconds” works out at midnight December 31 2009, so really this is just speculation, but it could be a countdown to the Nexus One, and there’s nothing on the page that says it’s a countdown to anything else.
when the 1.7 million minutes are converted into days, the results are about 20 days. The only thing we can think of happening in 20 days is New Year.
So what do you think, countdown to New Year or to the arrival of the Nexus One, if you do the maths be sure to drop us a comment in out comment section below. and Let us know your theories of what Google is counting down to.
Many people says that It may be release of Wave or Nexus one or New year.. lets see what happens after count down

I while ago I wrote about how Gravity, a native Twitter client for Symbian added some much-needed sexiness to that somewhat outdated operating system. But what Symbian was really lacking was a good, modern browser. And it seems like Opera has just fixed that.
Symbian’s built-in browser is painfully slow to use. It loads pages and then seems to re-render them using the attached style sheet (meaning it’ll first show you part of the page’s content and then appear to start all over again). It also does not play well with modern web apps that use lots of javascript and AJAX. I used it only if I had no other option, and greatly preferred the browser on my iPod Touch.
Mobile isn’t Mini
When I first got my phone I installed Opera Mini, which, probably because it’s Java-based, wasn’t much of an improvement. It had other quirks, not so much fewer of them. But then a couple of days ago, Opera released a beta for their upcoming Opera Mobile 10 browser. I gave it a try, and I have to say I came away thoroughly impressed.
Innovative UI
Opera’s new offering has a completely reworked interface that feels very modern, and is extremely easy to use. It handled everything I threw at it (including things like Gmail and Transmission’s web interface). And apart from a few slowdowns it seemed rock solid. This, much like Gravity is a piece of software that breathes some life into Symbian again. Finally, Symbian users have acces to common features such as tabbed browsing. If the OS is to succeed as an open source project, it’s going to need programs like this. In fact, they I’d recommend they’d use Mobile’s UI as a starting point for a user interface redesign. Now if only Symbian would let you specify the default browser…
*** EDIT ***
In case you’re wondering how to change the default speed dial shortcuts, Opera Mobile has a ‘right mouse button’ function. On a non-touchscreen phone, select a thumbnail and click and hold the center D-pad button until a menu pops up. Another thing to keep in mind is the shift and ctrl keys work like on a regular keyboard. You need to hold them down while pressing the next key. This is a departure from Symbian conventions, and I’m not sure how I feel about this.

Original Article: LinkedIn is testing a new design. Only a select number of users will see it, however.
New features include:
- A global navigation bar at the top of the page that provides convenient access to all LinkedIn services.
- Simplified local navigation within each of the LinkedIn areas (Profile, Contacts, Groups, etc.).
- More room available for page content. Less scrolling.
- A cleaner, less-cluttered look.
Here is what it looks like:


“We began the redesign effort several months ago by analyzing how people use LinkedIn,”says LinkedIn’s Kevin Bury. “We looked at what features people use the most and pored over several years of data from usability research on the site. Armed with this information we began doing design explorations of how to better organize LinkedIn features, and make them more convenient to find and use.”
“We factored into this effort additional features we knew were coming,” he adds. “We narrowed down the designs to a few candidates we felt were strong contenders. We then prototyped these designs and had users perform tasks with the prototypes in the usability lab. We went through numerous iterations until we arrived at a design we felt worked the best. One of the key features of the new design is that it allows much more space for page content – information about you and your professional network.”
LinkedIn says it will be paying attention to user feedback, and there is no word on whether or not changes will be permanent. That’s what testing is for though. The company also makes no mention of whether or not a greater number of users will be able to see the new design, and if so, when that would be.
It’s really Cool…..

Google said today it is taking aim at fraudulent companies that uses its name for money scams.
Bogus offers such as “Easy Cash with Google” and “Use Google to Make 1000s of Dollars!” has led the company to take a number of measures.

Google has filed a lawsuit against Pacific WebWorks and several other unnamed defendants for using its name in questionable money schemes.
The Official Google Blog offers more details. “Even as we’re taking legal action to try to cut these sites off at the source, we’re still working constantly to remove scammy URLs from our index, and we’ll permanently disable AdWords accounts that provide a poor or harmful user experience, whether or not they use Google’s trademarks illegally.”
Google warns users to be wary of the following names:
Google Adwork
Google ATM
Google Biz Kit
Google Cash
Earn Google Cash Kit
Google Fortune
Google Marketing Kit
Google Profits
The Home Business Kit for Google
Google StartUp Kit
Google Works
