Benefits of Google Desktop

So many people are concerned about privacy issues with latest Google Desktop. If you enable "Search Across Computers" feature during the download, Google Desktop will save your word documents and excel spreadsheets on Google's servers. It may sound scary, but if trust Google with your information, you can have so much done from any machine.

Other day, I thought about making changes to my resume while at work. I put those thoughts in a word document on my work laptop and enabled "Search Across Computers" feature on it. My resume is sitting on my home desktop. To make the changes I simply logged into Google Desktop from home. Bingo! Now my latest resume reflects those thoughts.

Tips for airlines

Recently I flew to San Diego in a Delta flight and stayed in a Fairfield Inn. Well, why is it important? During my stay in the hotel, I could go any time in the morning and grab some breakfast. But in my Delta flight, I had to wait until the air hostess brings something to eat. I think Delta or any other airline can save bunch of money by keeping a small food court instead of keeping bunch of airhostess just to serve the food. I bet flyers would love that. It’s a win-win situation.

Search for "google" is reaching one billion search results

As of today search for "google" yields close to 1 billion search results. I think that is an incredible feat for a 7-year old company.
Recently Google removed total number of indexed pages from its homepage. At one point this number reached 10 billion. But most of them are redundant any way. I think Google is working on this issue. If this assumption is true, there are 1 billion unique web pages that mention "google"!
