China Beat every record of google 700 million people open and read google in china

 

Google data centers are known all over the world for their eco friendliness, so the word of three brand new data centers to open in China is a welcome piece of news in the industry.

Despite political tension between US and China, and some uncomfortable past experiences regarding search censorship and the infamous hacking incident, Google is bringing its ethical data center practices to Asia with $700 million total investment, said Google’s Asian-Pacific President Daniel Alegre.

If past experience of eco-friendly data centers is anything to go by the new center will be built according to the green standards Google has embraced in all of its data centers and offices since the beginning of the company.

This time around Google is piloting a unique cooling system to be used at the Taiwan data center. According to a Google spokesperson, the new method is based on nighttime cooling and thermal energy storage system. Large quantities of water will be cooled at night when the temperatures are at their lowest and power resources more readily available. Cool water will be stored in special insulated tanks where the low temperatures will be retained. In the daytime when temperatures rise and power is more costly, this cold water will be used to cool the data center.

In the past Google data centers became famous for using ‘free’ cooling techniques such as using the surrounding air and used toilet water to cool Google facilities.

The new data centers in China will provide users faster access to a variety of Google products and help meet the high demand for online services in the fastest growing new Internet user community in the world.

The opening of the $300 million Taiwan center is scheduled for the second half of 2013, with the other two centers to follow later.

With the construction of data centers in Hong Kong and Singapore already in progress, Google boasts a presence in 12 countries in the Asia Pacific region, including Indonesia and Thailand. The Eastern expansion of the global giant can mean more business opportunities and better connectivity in that region.

Google Lanuch Glass With New Features in Next Year

Apparently, Google has been giving their glasses a cool design to make them wearable by anyone who wants to view visual information in front of their eyes, from today’s temperature to real-time messages from friends. Known as Project Glass, this enterprise at the Google X lab has released photos online and had a video posted on YouTube (see below) this week as a preview to Google’s latest accomplishment in generating an improved pair of specs. The video suggested that users can further explore and connect with the world using significantly enhanced glasses.

google project glass 1 Google Project Glass: New Features, Release Date Until Next Year

On the Google+ page of Project Glass, a post has invited readers to be updated as the company continues to provide their stories and ideas, and that they would prefer to hear from the public about the features that they would want to see in Project Glass. Undoubtedly, the specs’ white, thin frame gives it a sleek and highly futuristic design. Researchers at Google have already tested the glasses using a heads-up display run by Android.

This project for augmented reality glasses has stirred various positive and negative comments alike whereas its design principal has also admitted whether the public will be open nd receptive to the glasses’ features. Nevertheless, it is expected to be put up for sale sometime this year for an estimated price similar as that of a typical smartphone.

Google Create New Maps For Android Users Google Maps 6.5 Better Navigation and suppor HD Graphics

Google Maps is – unsurprisingly – a stock feature of the Big G’s mobile operating system, and has today been served a pretty significant update.

If you’re running one of the premier devices on the market (Galaxy Nexus etc.), then there’s High Definition support which is not only easier to read, but nicer to look at in general. We live in an age where our digital devices are all marketed as facilitating groundbreaking/wonderful/beautifully crisp/(insert adjective) high definition, so you could say the Maps update is not before time.

As well as the HD visuals, the interface has been tweaked for those running Ice Cream Sandwich, and the app now includes preferred public transit mode as well as route options.

Although Ice Cream Sandwich has struggled to reach the masses, but has been widely praised for its new look. The new Google Maps certainly fits in nicely with ICS from an aesthetic point of view, and we’re pretty sure you’ll be as pleased with the updates as we are.

With the voice dictation shown in the video, the ad could easily be mistaken for one of the many Siri videos we’ve been bombarded with since October – but for the tasteful guitar sounds in the background!

The feature allowing users to select and prioritize transit mode has been in the pipeline for a while, and includes a handy ‘Recommended Route’.

Google has been bullishly dominant on the maps front over the past few years, and as well as being on every Android device, Google Maps is also pre-loaded on each and every iOS device. If Apple has its way, that won’t be the case for much longer, since the Cupertino company has reportedly been preparing an alternative of its own.
To conclude, you may also want to hit up the YouTube page of Google Maps, where you’ll find a dozen videos outlining the awesomeness of the updated app, explaining users the benefits of Maps on their Android devices.

Should you prefer to simply cut to the chase and crack on with the app, however, check out the download link below.
