History of Google

I was lately dwelling through the History of Google.

Its worth telling you that it started as a small project in the Stanford University. I found some very interesting pictures about the initial basic installation of Google Server.

It was known as the BackRub .

Check out the stuff available at Wikipedia. Its worth some minutes of reading.

Interesting to find the policies which one of the biggest companies follow to maintain their Technical hoblaaah !!!

Here you can have some technical insights into Google.

Hope you enjoy it.

Benchmarking Evolved

A lot of tools are present over the internet which are used to benchmark various components of a computer.

But lately a new thingy started which was doing something sensible while benchmarking the maximum capabilities of a machine.

Initially these tools used to perform simple Floating Point Calculations [FPS] , but now tools like

folding@home , SETI, and GIMPS are here to perform some meaningfull calculations down there way.

I suggest you to donwload such tools and experience them.

Search Mechanics

I came across IBM's History flow lately.

It is a project wherein the Evolution of document in Wikipedia is visualized graphically to graphically to give meaning to the complete process of community service, which the users give while they share information through Wikipedia.

It has various features, such as a timeline, aging of data, growth and persistance.
