Google Photos Breaks Free Of Google+, Now Offers Free, Unlimited Storage. Google officially announced its long-rumored revamp of its photo-sharing service, Google Photos, at its I/O developer conference in San Francisco today. The killer feature? Users can now backup up full-resolution photos and videos – up to 16MP for photos and 1080p for videos – to Google’s cloud for free. The service will roll out to Android, iOS and web users starting today, the company says. The free storage option makes more sense for those with point-and-shoot cameras, and lets you keep a copy of your photos that’s good for your typical printing and photo-sharing needs.
However, those with DSLR cameras or who want to store their photos and videos in their original sizes can choose a different plan which taps into your Google Account’s 15 GB of free storage. This is what was available before, and you can add to your storage quota as needed for a fee. The app also lets you sort your photos by day, or even scroll back through the months or years. Berci Meskó, MD, PhD sur Twitter : "7 Google Ventures Poised to Revolutionize Healthcare Excluding Google Glass...
7 Google Ventures Poised to Revolutionize Healthcare. Forget the “sky’s the limit.” Google is reaching for the moon when it comes to healthcare innovation. Call it bold. Call it ambitious. But one thing you can’t call Google’s recent foray into healthcare innovation is, well, subtle. With a mission to make “The world’s information useful,” and capitalize on its big-data prowess, Google is preparing to carve a serious space for itself in healthcare—right between data-enriched innovation and research revelation. It seems like the search-engine giant stumbled into healthcare with the emergence of Google Glass in 2013, when physicians, including Dr.
Some may question Google’s ability to turn its commercial beginnings into tomorrow’s healthcare innovations, but why not Google? According to the Wall Street Journal, more than one-third of Google’s venture capital this year went to healthcare and life-sciences companies, reflecting a 9% increase from the prior two years. So how does Google plan to define and perhaps revolutionize healthcare? 2. 3. Google’s algorithm changes. What is the link between Neil Armstrong and a Google search ? Google privacy principals : all about users, nothing about companies. Google has posted the 5 Google privacy principles.

Name tags in Picasa : it rocks ! Personnal Gmail or professional outlook :guess which one is my favorite ? As many people, to work day to day, I use outlook which is a corporate tool, and gmail for my private emails, because it’s free and convenient.Of course, outlook is a good tool, this is why we use it.What I like much in outlook is : it’s working quite fine : no major issues, performances are good, management of poor connections is fine the agenda management is great and very useful in compagny context,the synchronization with my blackberry is efficientit’s fully integrated with windows, no need to login again Outlook is fully integrated with other Microsoft tools (office, MOCS, portal), and it’s convenient But… When I compare it to gmail I use for personal purpose… I’m disappointed, and I m sure some functionality are missing to make my life better, and make my job more efficient.
In gmail, mails are organized by conversations, and not just listed like in outlook.This is really a great feature to make emails easily accessible.I’ve tried to reproduce it in outlook, but with no success. According to Google, Google docs is not (yet) a good alternative to Microsoft office ! The battle between google and microsoft is in progress, with a big battle Microsoft office / Google documents. Every day news come about new companies switching from Microsoft office to google doc. Last week, Dave Girouard gave an interview to ZDnet Asia.
Dave Girouard is an important guy in google (he’s one of the company’s four presidents including founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin), so his words are important. And what he said in this interview was a big surprise for me. To make it short, he explained that google documents is not the good solution for enterprise yet, it will be in 1 year ! His exact words are : We wouldn’t ask people to get rid of Microsoft Office and use Google Docs because it is not mature yet he expects Google’s online document application, Google Docs, to reach a “point of capability” next year that will serve the “vast majority’s needs”. Google set to acquire Waze for $1.3b. The acquisition follows months of speculation involving Google, Facebook and Apple. Sources inform ''Globes'' that Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) will acquire Waze Ltd. for $1.3 billion. The acquisition of the Israeli navigation app and traffic report start-up will be completed after months of reports that Waze would be sold to either Google or Facebook Inc.
(Nasdaq: FB). Ra'anana-based Waze has almost 50 million users. This is a big number for an Israeli company, which probably helped it achieve the hoped-for exit. Reports about a possible sale of Waze are not new. Another reason was that Waze insisted that its Israeli employees should continue working in Israel, which Facebook did not accept. In the past few months, there have been numerous reports that Apple Inc. Waze has developed one of the most popular navigation apps on the market.
The deal will turn some Waze founders into multimillionaires. Waze told "Globes" "no comment," and Google said, "We don't relate to rumors and speculation. " BNF (French National Library) is ready to surrender to Google ! The BNF is the French National Library. For years, and especially when Jean-Noël Jeanneney was in charge of the BNF (2002-2007), BNF has refused to discussed with google to scan it’s books. Jeanneney wrote a book about it : “Google and the myth of Universal knowledge : a view from Europe”.The argument is that google is a US private company so : they will make money with it, wich is against french idea of universal access to booksthey will not scan everything, but they will make choices, and the criteria will be an US angle At one point of time French people wanted to launch an initiative “against” Google initiative to scan books Gallica.
Today we learn that some discussions are ongoing between Google and the BNF. The reasons are easy : governments do not give money to do Gallica, and google proposes to do it for free. This is a very important news, it should make a lot of noise … Google’s algorithm changes. According to Google, Google docs is not (yet) a good alternative to Microsoft office ! How Does Google Work?

In the wake of the attacks that resulted in Google’s public threat to leave China , the search giant is abandoning Windows due to concerns over security. According to the Financial Times , the technology titan has been slowly phasing out the use of Windows internally since January, not long after it was assaulted by Chinese hackers.
For example, new hires are no longer offered Windows PCs — the choices are now an Apple Mac computer or a PC loaded with Linux. Google’s policies surrounding the internal use of Windows aren’t clear-cut, though. Some employees can still install Windows on their laptops, but not their desktop computers. However, Googlers need explicit permission from “quite senior levels” in order to keep using the Windows OS.
The move makes sense: Windows and Internet Explorer have been implicated as vectors in which hackers accessed personal accounts and confidential data from Google’s servers. EtherPad: Realtime Collaborative Text Editing. Google & the Future of Books - The New York Review of Books. How can we navigate through the information landscape that is only beginning to come into view? The question is more urgent than ever following the recent settlement between Google and the authors and publishers who were suing it for alleged breach of copyright.
For the last four years, Google has been digitizing millions of books, including many covered by copyright, from the collections of major research libraries, and making the texts searchable online. The authors and publishers objected that digitizing constituted a violation of their copyrights. After lengthy negotiations, the plaintiffs and Google agreed on a settlement, which will have a profound effect on the way books reach readers for the foreseeable future. What will that future be? No one knows, because the settlement is so complex that it is difficult to perceive the legal and economic contours in the new lay of the land.
I especially enjoy the exchange of letters between Jefferson and Madison. Liveblog: Google Takes $1 Billion Charge To Write Down AOL And Clearwire Investments. Google just released fourth quarter earnings. Net Income was down a whopping 68 percent to $382 million (compared to $1.2 billion a year ago), primarily because of a $1 billion impairment charge related Google’s ownership stakes in AOL (for which it took a $726 million writedown) and Clearwire ($355 million writedown). We all know why the AOL stake is worth less than what Google paid for it (just look at Time Warner’s stock.) Instead of the $20 billion that Google’s five percent stake valued AOL at the time of its original investment, its new writedown now values AOL at $5.5 billion. The Clearwire writedown isn’t surprising either. That is the Wimax company that had disaster written all over it.
Google is also allowing employees with underwater options to swap them for new ones. That is going to cost Google another estimated $460 million over the course of the new vesting period. I am waiting for the earnings call to start. Last Q we said we were in uncharted territory. Les incontournables de l’Optimisation AdSense.

In the wake of announcing its first round of layoffs this afternoon, Google has released several blog posts detailing the upcoming shutdown of a number of services (compiled here by Danny Sullivan). Included among the upcoming closures are: Google Notebooks, Google Catalogs, Dodgeball, Google Video, Google Mashup Editor, and future development of Jaiku (though the service will live on).
Below we’ve summarized the upcoming changes: Jaiku is currently being ported to Google App Engine, and will be released as an open source project on Google Code. Dodgeball, which allows users to share their current locations using SMS messages, will be discontinued entirely though Google has yet to establish a timeframe more specific than “a couple of months”. The Mashup Editor (which is in private beta) is being replaced by App Engine. Google Notebook will continue to function for current users, but will no longer accept new ones. Changes to recruiting.
