Google Presently coming soon?

google presently slideshow presentation tool coming soon?Could Google be developing a PowerPoint and Keynote killer? Looks like it might be in testing mode from the code that both the Google Operating System blog, and TechCrunch have reported on. It's a perfect choice for Google to add to its "non-office" suite of products. The code name appears to be Presently, and could have possibly been in the works by Writely before it was purchased by Google. We can only guess what it would look like today. Simple navigation, basic structures, the ability to store, share, and collaborate presentations online with friends. Maybe one day Google will come out and just say they are developing a Microsoft Office killer.

Other current players in the online presentation market include Slideshare, Prezzo, Zoho Show, Empressr, and Thumbstacks.

Google does not support click fraud

google eric schmidtApparently there was a little chatter around the blogosphere lately about how Google supports click fraud. Well, then business product manager for trust and security over at Google cleared some things up on Google's corporate blog.

Shurman Ghosemajumder, the business product manager for trust and security at Google spoke up about the issue at hand, and stated that a blogger quoted Eric Schmidt a little twistedly when he recently spoke about the click fraud issue.

When asked about click fraud at a Stanford economics event in March, Schmidt said there has been some talk about click fraud being a potential threat to the entire advertising business model, and he was wondering what people thoughts were, and if there was an economic solution, instead of a technical one. Eric was answering hypothetically, and was not describing Google's approach to click fraud. Eric went on to discuss the economic issues that can slow down fraud, dropping the price that the advertiser is willing to pay for potentially bad clicks. Thus, self correcting the actual real ad price.

The whole time during the presentation, he kept stating that Google does not take this approach.

You can find a video of the presentation at hand here.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
