Google Phone Nexus One

The Google Phone being discussed from over last one year. Again we have started listening the news and blogs for the Google Phone named as Nexus One. People have posted images to be proclaimed for the Google Phone.

TechCrunch.com says, “Last night, we started seeing some Tweets from Google employees and others about a new Android-powered Google phone that was apparently handed out at an “all hands” meeting. Now Google is confirming that it is indeed “dogfood” testing a new Android device with employees around the world.”

As per the Cory’s tweet, which was suitably enthusiastic and encouraging for Android fans, “Google Phone = iPhone + a little extra screen and a scroll wheel. Great touch screen, and Android”, whilst the festive image reproduced below, was initially posted on Twitpics.

Countdown on Google Home page

What is this countdown?

This is the first thing that comes in the mind when you go on the Google home page and simply click “I’m feeling lucky” button without any text in the search box.

Well it is the countdown for the new year 2010. No one currently knows whether there will be some new thing that will show up as this countdown finishes but one thing is sure that people will wait and watch.

Today, Google has officially launched the beta version of Google Chrome browser for Mac. You can download the Google Chrome for Mac from here.

Well after a few test, we find it faster over Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5 (tested on Macbook). Although, it is still in beta but it has most of the features which Windows version has. You can use the Address Bar (also called as Omni box) to enter any website URL, search on Google or search thru your bookmarks.

As stated in the video, Google Chrome for Mac uses the centralized location of passwords in Mac, i.e. Keychain Access. The benefits for that it can utilize the Keychain data saved thru different browsers and applications.

So people enjoy the Google Chrome for Mac and keep us posted on anything new you find.

You can watch a demo being released by Google

Google Public DNS

Leave a comment

Google has again added another service in its bucket. This time Google has targeted the DNS service (Domain Name Server). It has called it Google Public DNS and currently it is still under Google Code mode (or can say testing/beta mode). So, before trying this new service better you read the reviews. They have offered the service to anyone and everyone.

To use the service you have to just configure your network settings to point to the Google Public DNS server IPs. Following are the Google Public DNS server IPs

  • 8.8.8.8
  • 8.8.4.4

Before modifying your network settings, make sure you backup the current settings.

For detailed configuration steps you can go to “Using Google Public DNS“.
