The Battle of Giants

Whenever we ask someone to tell about the giants who control the web and its trends the first three names that they speak are Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. However it’s the rule of nature that more than one super-powers cannot co-exist in an environment; there will always be conflicts and battles between them. Similar is the case with these giants too. Let us see through some pictures

Among these three, Google clearly leads the market with its advance technology and number of users. The search provided by Google removes any other competitor out of the picture.

And we all know that whenever Microsoft releases anything, Google releases a better one. Be it browser, Search Engine, Mailing Service, Storage Service or any other. See below what Google has done to Explorer by releasing its Chrome Browser

I don’t know why everyone is trying to win the monopoly of search, Common there are 100 more things other than search. Microsoft was doing fine, but they had to release Bing, to compete with Google search. I mean why everyone is so madly after search, someone should acquire things like facebook, twitter

Recently we heard that Microsoft wants to acquire yahoo, for nearly 50 Billion Dollars. But can one giant eat another? I mean for this to happen one should be a lot bigger than other. Let us see the same incident by a picture

See what google itself has to say about all the giants. It’s the collection of data of all the searches that user make on Google, see them all, some are really funny

Below is a simple image but it really gives us the idea of the ultimate wish of Yahoo; to Become Google. Or is it the ultimate wish of Google: To Acquire Yahoo Time will decide!

No matter what user think or do, the battle will never be over and one person may be using services of all three simoultaneously.

Internet Weights as Much as a Strawberry

A mathematician recently calculated that eBook readers 'gain weight' when you add new books to your library - due to the energy 'gained' by electrons when they store information, and the weight of that energy.Environment Clean Generations

Filling a Kindle with books causes it to gain an infinitesimally small amount of mass - so small that it gains 100,000,000 times more when you recharge the battery.

Now a YouTube science channel has used the same mathematics to calculate the mass of the entire internet.

Surprisingly, the whole thing weighs just 50g - around the weight of a single (large) strawberry.Environment Clean Generations

 But the actual information in it weighs less than a speck of dust.

Vsauce says that the 50g figure is the weight of all the electrons in the electricity required to make the internet work - assuming 75-100 million servers supporting the internet, and not including the home PCs running it.
The whole lot equates to around 40billion watts - which weighs in around the same as a plump strawberry.
If you include all the home PCs using the net, the figure is roughly three strawberries.
The weight if you're just counting the data stored in the internet is much less.
It's difficult to quantify how much data there is in the internet - Vsauce used a (dated) estimate by Google's Eric Schmidt.Environment Clean Generations
Schmidt guessed that there were 5,000,000 terabytes of information in the internet - of which Google indexed 0.04 per cent.
The entire weight of that information would work out, Vsauce estimates, to 0.02 millionths of an ounce.

Swiss Alps Railways with Google Street

Google's fleet of Street View cars, trikes and snowmobiles have explored some interesting places over the years, including the Amazon river, the  ruins of Pompeii and the  Whistler mountain range in Canada. Now, the team has hit the train tracks.

The global mapping giant  teamed up with Rhaetian Railway to put a Street View trike on a train car and push it through the picturesque Albula-Bernina line in the Swiss Alps, between snow-capped mountains and narrow valleys.

The famous train line, which runs from Chur in Switzerland to Tirano in Italy, climbs almost 2,000 meters in altitude as it weaves through a network of tunnels, viaducts and galleries. It's one of the world's most popular rail journeys and was declared a World Heritage Site in 2008.

To capture it in all its splendour, Google's three-wheel pedicab was mounted onto a flatbed at the very front of a train. Cameras facing in nine different directions took still photos of the surrounding area which the team back at base will now stitch into 360-degree  panoramic shots.

You'll able to see the images yourself, and follow the Albula-Bernina line vicariously through Google Street View, "soon".
