Some Facts about Google...

Google Fun Facts
Google sorts billions of bits of information for its users. Here are some little-known bits of information about Google:

#Google's name is a play on the word googol, which refers to the number 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, "Mathematics and the Imagination" by Kasner and James Newman. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.


#Google started as a research project at Stanford University, created by Ph.D. candidates Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were 24 years old and 23 years old respectively (a combined 47 years old).


#Google's index of web pages is the largest in the world, comprising of billions of web pages. Google searches this immense collection of web pages often in less than half a second.


#Google receives daily search requests from all over the world, including Antarctica.


#Users can restrict their searches for content in 35 non-English languages, including Chinese, Greek, Icelandic, Hebrew, Hungarian and Estonian. To date, no requests have been received from beyond the earth's orbit, but Google has a Klingon interface just in case.


#Google has a world-class staff of more than 2,668 employees known as Googlers. The company headquarters is called the Googleplex.


#Google translates billions of HTML web pages into a display format for WAP and i-mode phones and wireless handheld devices, and has made it possible to enter a search using only one phone pad keystroke per letter, instead of multiple keystrokes.


#Google Groups comprises more than 845 million Usenet messages, which is the world's largest collection of messages or the equivalent of more than a terabyte of human conversation.


#The basis of Google's search technology is called PageRank™, and assigns an "importance" value to each page on the web and gives it a rank to determine how useful it is. However, that's not why it's called PageRank. It's actually named after Google co-founder Larry Page.


#Googlers are multifaceted. One operations manager, who keeps the Google network in good health is a former neurosurgeon. One software engineer is a former rocket scientist. And the company's chef formerly prepared meals for members of The Grateful Dead and funkmeister George Clinton

Review of the book 'The Broker'

Book Review
By Zain Siddiqui (Student in EnTC at SIT,Lonavala)

The Broker
Author: John Grisham Rating: ****

This was the first and remains till date the only book by John Grisham that I’ve ever read. Here is a story that resembles the plot of a Tom Hanks starrer suspense-thriller. It’s got this lovely screenplay kind of a feel to it, where the protagonist, Joel Backman, is the lead of a deadly chase choreographed across Europe and climaxing in Washington D.C., where it all started in the first place. Joel Backman is a big time broker in D.C. where his lobbying skills earn him the unofficial tag of the second most powerful man in D.C. He has everything. Money, power, a good home and an army of lawyers to bail him out of even hell. But riding his wave too far out into the sea, he is left stranded in deep waters by his greed. His attempt to double cross governments of Saudi Arabia and China in a deal involving the sale of ‘JAM’, a satellite control program, and millions of dollars lands him in a soup. He somehow ends up in US jail for fraud. His company is closed down and he owes a lot of people their money. But midway through his sentence, the US decides to release him under a false identity in Italy. He doesn’t know why. He lives the life he is assigned to, glad to be free. But slowly realizes a false motive and here begins the chase.
Enjoy it!
Sidney Sheldon was once asked what he would choose to do if he could not be a successful writer. His reply?
“An unsuccessful writer!”

It will not last the night!
But ah my foes and oh my friends
It gives a lovely light!”
