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.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
