FeedBurner RSS Feeds not updating
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Not sure if it is the news that Google going to lay 0ff demoralize the spirit of the staffs. More and more Google services are now having glitches. Many of the RSS Feeds through FeedBurner are not updated. Look at the screen shot below, the last update is on 29 March!
If you try to troubleshot, by either Ping the Feedburner or even resync the feed, it provides no help at all.
So lets join in the forum forum and hope the problem draws the attentio of the Google team.
Personally, I suspect the cause to be following:
1) Only those RSS that subscribe the Adsense Feed services are affected.
2) If your published post has a published date in the future, then very likely your feed will be affected.
So lets wait for a solution, either official or unofficial.

Images that Google Street removed
Monday, March 23, 2009
Google has removed dozens of photos from its new Street View service. The firm has been forced to pull some of the images after complaints. A spokesperson for Google told the BBC that anyone could have their images removed if they asked.
Offending photos have been replaced by a black image with the message "This image is no longer available". However, many of the images can still be viewed by moving up or down a notch on the street. So let us look at some examples:

Google Earth found a 1,000-year-old fishing trap
Thursday, March 19, 2009
The 260m long construction is thought to have been built 1,000 years ago, using large rocks placed on a river bed. They found a huge V-shape was clearly visible on the satellite images and divers were sent down to examine the structure.
Google Earth to narrow in on its precise location. Scientists estimate the stone fish trap to be 1,000 years old, the oldest underwater structure made by man, discovered in Wales. Scientists say, the sea level was much lower thousands of years ago, and the original fish trap was above water. Only a few ancient fish traps remain in Wales, once a thriving coastal fishing community.
Scientists believe large numbers of people worked together to erect the trap and it allowed them to catch plentiful numbers of fish for their supper. The trap is believed to have been made from locally quarried rock, or possibly boulders carried in by glaciers during the last Ice Age.
Archaeologists say medieval communities constructed stone fishing traps to catch fish and scooped them out with nets as the tide rolled out. This particular stone trap is larger than normal and would have required many medieval laborers to haul in the heavy boulders to construct it. The trap in the estuary of the River Teifi, near Cardigan, West Wales, lay undiscovered for a millennium until a strange underwater shape was spotted from a plane flying overhead.
Unlike the previous case, this discovery is real.
