Would Rather Customize Your Google Search Page?

In the Blogspot today, Google announced that users can now let users use background on its minimalist search page. Google search page have been known for its traditional white background. The user has the option to upload their personal photos from their computer or from Google's Picasa Photo album.

It was a good thing though. But, why put user defined background in it. I mean it was better when it is all white and change the Google Icon from time to time. You know, that always thing that Google have done and reflects the season or any special occasion on that particular date.

Users may activate the customized feature by clicking the link located on the lower left corner of the search page. If you can't find it, maybe it's not available in your location as of the moment. According to Google, it will not affect the loading speed of the page and any activities you'll be having on that page.

How to: Simple Remedy of a PC that Randomly Crashes

Just because the Post-PC era is near it doesn't mean that there's no point anymore in taking good care of your PC. As long as it is working, keep it and take good care of it. It's not practical anymore in buying a new one. Not of course, if you are shifting to another PC lifestyle. You know, going to the "mainstream".

Post-PC era and Windows for Every Tablet is near

Have you ever wondered if we still have those conventionally PC's we have will still be around for the next 5 to 10 years. Or, would you still buy them at that time. The PC (Personal Computer) I'm referring to is the conventional workstation we have at home and at work. Where in you have the CPU, and its corresponding Peripherals connected by cables and sorts of hardware attaching to it. Doing upgrades and such.

Also, on the same plane, when we speak about PC's we always tagged along with the OS in it. And since its inception, during the 1980's, almost 90% of PC's were using Windows Operating System. Now, with the prediction of evolving the Personal Computing into something else will Windows also dissolve in the decline of conventional PC demand.

Accidents with Google Map? Who should you blame?

I came to ask these questions when I read about a woman filing a lawsuit for google maps incorrect direction. The poor walking directions caused here a permanent physical and mental injuries for she was hit by a vehicle while walking on a dirt road.

According to her complaint, Google had recklessly, carelessly and negligent in providing unsafe directions. Supposedly the road that she have walked on has no sidewalks and with vehicles running at high speeds. Meaning to say, she is using the Google map for guidance and was struck by a vehicle due to lack of warnings from it.
