Once more Google nails it with an awesome easter egg. Simply head over to google.com and enter ‘do a barrel roll’ manually. You simply can’t ‘em!

Not much more to say! Google simply nailed it today with its tribute doodle to freddie mercury on his 65th birthday. awesome!   click on the doodle to play! – see the video what happens:

3 short and sweet breaking news for saturday morning: Twitter announced that it’s going to take over Atebit’s Tweetie. One of the best twitter clients (Tweetie for Mac, iPhone) so far and announced further that there might be an iPad version soon. And last but not least twitter announced that it’s gonna be free. So there will be a free official twitter.com twitter client. Guess that puts quite some pressure [...]

I guess it’s pretty obvious that we German are always against everything. It’s not only the case in holidays – but even in technical evolution. Right now it’s not Google who “we” are fighting, but the next big player in online business – facebook. Actually I’m quite tired to talk again about it since it’s in the media almost every day. So lets keep it short and simple: German government [...]

At least once a week I usually ad my 2 cents to current social media news. But I guess unless you’ve been hiding somewhere in Siberia you might have been struck by the buzz (muhahaha – not the last wordplay). So lets get started with facebook since this can be covered pretty fast. First thing: More users, more users, more users….not a surprise, but somehow interesting to see that the [...]

For all of those who keep asking me “you’re into this mobile thing, right? What about this Google Phone?”. Here are the facts. Nothing more, nothing less. Bottom line so far: Looks like it rocks! Manufactured by HTC 3.7″ OLED display (iPhone: 3.5″), 800 x 480 pixels Thin (59.8 mm thick) and Light (130 g w/ battery) Runs Android 2.1 Voice-enabled keyboard lets you speak into any text field 5 mp [...]

Since everybody’s talking about google these days (man, they’re really doing their best to be part of the news each day) I am sure that you’re all curious about what I think about it (hello mr. ego ;-) ). Actually it almost feels like Google tries to spam us during the last days ;-) But besides those mails that offer some mega increasing pills, Google offers something valuable. At least [...]

I’m pretty sure that I already lost some followers on twitter just because of this headline. But anyway it was google’s 11th birthday, so time for spreading some love ;-) First of all I have to say, that I’m not a groupie. I don’t like everything they do. Of course not! I don’t like that one of the guys (not quite sure whether Larry or Sergey) simply rent an island [...]

Now, while waiting for Google Wave – the Service that will change everything, of course – I came across Gist. Gist is not that much of a revolution, but a nice service that puts all interesting facts in one place. Below is the promo video…but it pretty much does, what it promisses… Some further facts: You can synchronize all of your email addresses. Exchange, web, whatever…But, of course, that’s not [...]

I guess all of you guys know about the Page Rank. This one little number that was used to judge about Websites quite often (mostly way to often!). If not, lmgtfy! For some reason (ok, actually we all know the reason ;-) ) the Page Rank was for a long time the number one metric in order to compare sites. Since I don’t want to go to much into the [...]

Herzlich Willkommen zur Kategorie “Sascha erklärt die Welt”. Heute: Google – Teil 1 Vorwort: Kommilitonen, potenzielle Arbeitgeber und weitere internetaffine Menschen überspringen diesen Artikel bitte einfach oder verzeihen mir zumindest die wohl teilweise flapsige Ausdrucksweise. Doch gestern beim Essen mit einigen Freunden (argentinisch – da schmeckt man das Glück der toten Kühe quasi) kam es zur Diskussion unter Leien wie das mit Google und der Suche und so funktioniert. Alles [...]

So ein bisschen wundert es mich ja schon. Normal geht immer ein Aufschrei der Empörung durch die (Mikro)blogosphäre sobald mal ein Googleservice für eine Nanosekunde nicht verfügbar ist. Doch was war gestern? Nix. Oder zumindest verhältnismäßig wenig, dafür, dass gmail, also googlemail (nich verklagen!), nicht erreichbar war. Und nun geht es heute morgen wieder so weiter? Was denn da los? Verschwörung? Werdet ihr alle von Big G bezahlt? Oder hat [...]

Once more an inappropriate Google Adwords collimation. In an era where online marketing and the use of Google Adwords becomes more and more crucial for economic success the guys at big G should really take action against those trying to abuse this services.
