Google is full of surprising fun “Easter eggs” and “Hoaxes“, hidden within search queries and other services. Google ‘s latest Easter egg discovered just in right time for the holiday season is very cool.
If you type “let it snow” into Google.com, the Mountain View-based search giant will return the normal search results. The Easter egg now starts to unfold in front of you with falling snowflakes. After a few moments the search page is completely obscured by a digital blizzard. Once the page is full of snow, you can literally ”draw” on the screen with your mouse. If you want to clear the screen, click on the “Defrost” button, but snowflakes will continue to fall in the background. [Read more...]
Android Market has exceeded 10 billion app downloads, Google announced on their Google blog. To celebrate the milestone, Google has announced that for the next 10 days, starting from December 6, they’ll have a new set of apps available each day for only 10 cents each.
“Of course, none of these apps would have existed if it weren’t for the developers who created them. Every day, these developers continue to push the limits on what’s possible and delight us in the process. For that, we thank them,” said Eric Chu in his post at the Android Developer’s blog post.
The celebration started with the following ten apps:
Asphalt 6 HD, Color & Draw for Kids,Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro, Fieldrunners HD, Great Little War Game, Minecraft, Paper Camera, Sketchbook Mobile, Soundhound Infinity and SwiftKey X.
Google is soon going to enable the new navigation menu replacing the current black navigation bar.
“The Google bar, which runs across the top of the browser of nearly all Google services and offers easy access to Google’s products, has recently updated its look for a more consistent, streamlined user experience and increased visibility of the most popular services,” explains Google.
The new navigation looks much more elegant and compact. You will find the gray navigation bar above each of Google’s products. The bar basically has three main areas. When you hover your mouse pointer over the Google logo on the left or click on it, a drop-down menu will appear with links to Google services. The menu links to Google+, Web Search, Image Search, Google Maps, YouTube, Google News, Gmail and Google Docs, but you can mouse over “More” to see more services. The central area has a search box for the Google service you are using now. The right side features a share box and notifications to take part on Google+ from any Google page. [Read more...]

Google has debuted a new search tool “Verbatim” that enables you to get results for your query exactly as you wrote it.
Google Search does a lot of work behind the scene to offer you relevant search results. Normally, when you use Google Search, Google intelligently provides a lot of results which are close to your search query. Improvements like automated spelling corrections, search for synonyms and similar or omit terms that may be redundant or irrelevant from your query, search for words with the same stem, like “running” when you actually searched for run helps you find what you wanted even if it’s not exactly what you type in.
But, sometimes even these intelligent changes do not yield good results. Sometimes you may have meant to search for the exact words you have typed and not the Google “corrected” version. For this reason, Google came up with their new Verbatim search tool. When you use Verbatim, Google returns results that matches the exact keywords you type in and drops all tweaks, personalizations and advanced search enhancements. [Read more...]
