Friday, April 3, 2009

Do you ever try to key in gmail.google.com as URL to your browser? Recently, it has been giving out some error messages (sometimes), displayed in Dutch laguage. Take a look at the screen shoot below.

---------------------------
Lieber Nutzer,

in Deutschland heißt unser E-Mail-Service Google Mail, nicht Gmail.

Sie können Ihre E-Mails in Deutschland direkt unter http://mail.google.com abrufen.

Ihr Google-Team


Der E-Mail-Service von Google ist in Deutschland nicht mehr über die von Ihnen eingegebene URL abrufbar.

Allgemeine Informationen zu Google finden Sie in Deutschland wie gewohnt unter www.google.de oder www.google.com.
---------------------------


Don't really know why, there has been so much "errors" or "glitches" with Google recently. Really when you becomes bigger, it is getting harder to maintain, not even to mention growth?

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Offending photos have been replaced by a black image with the message "This image is no longer available".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:

I am sure, you don't want your buddy see you being hit by your wive:

How can the car that taking the photos no stop by and have a help?

Street View first launched in the United States in May 2007 and is already available in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, France, Spain and Italy. Below is one from Japan:

Bet if she is your girlfriend or wive, you may request to remove it:

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.

9000 years legend Atlantis found?
Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Last week, a British man announced he'd found the lost city of Atlantis using Google Ocean -- the latest add-on to Google Earth that features 3D bathymetry, which lets you explore the ocean floor. A Google Ocean image of an underwater section of the Atlantic ocean at 31 15'15.53N 24 15'30.53W is drawing wide attention as a possible location of the lost city of Atlantis. The location is about 700 miles off the coasts of Morocco and Portugal and fits in very nicely with the whereabouts of Atlantis, as described by Plato.

Plato described it as an island "larger than Libya and Asia put together" in front of the Pillars of Hercules - the Straits of Gibraltar. He said Atlantis was a land of fabulous wealth, advanced civilisation and natural beauty destroyed by earthquakes and floods 9,000 years earlier. The legend of Atlantis has excited the public imagination for centuries. In recent years "evidence" of the lost kingdom has been found off the coast of Cyprus and in southern Spain.

The sharp outlines and uniform wall-like structures seen in the image are believed by many to be completely unnatural and the result of manmade activity and his structures. What can be seen clearly are several nearly straight lines, near perfect rectangles and what may be roads extending out toward dry land. The structure is currently under several thousand feet of water and was only recently made available thanks to the Ocean extension of Google Earth. Experts had said this was one of the possible sites of the city described by Plato, the Greek philosopher.

Google Earth has been responsible for several amazing discoveries in the past as the company pointed out: "It's true that many amazing discoveries have been made in Google Earth -- a pristine forest in Mozambique that is home to previously unknown species, a fringing coral reef off the coast of Australia, and the remains of an Ancient Roman villa, to name just a few." Unfortunately, Atlantis will not be added to this list, as Google dismisses 'Atlantis find'.

Despite Google's denial, some conspiracy theorists reject the company's explanation and say the search giant might be participating in a cover-up.

Google map guides him drive through the ocean
Thursday, February 5, 2009

The new version of Google Earth 5.0 lets users explore the oceans, view images of Mars, and watch the Earth's surface change over time. But this doesn't mean that as a human being, we can drive through the ocean. Lets take a look on this video, and see how Google Map guide this guy to drive through the ocean.

Well, the above maybe just some minor technical glitch. The real breakthrough is the newest version Google Earth, it lets you see what is under the water, what is on the MARS, and let you dive down under the water.

You can explore thousands of data points including videos and images of ocean life, details on the best surf spots, logs of real ocean expeditions, and much more.


Unfortunately, it is not a free software, only free for 7-day trial.
