Exec: I’m having problems receiving e-mail.
IT guy: It’s the IMAP you are using. It’s not compatible with the settings that you have in your program.
Exec: This is unacceptable. I want you to call IMAP and get this resolved immediately!
IT guy: I can’t.
Exec: Why can’t you do this?
IT guy: Because IMAP is out to lunch with HTTP.

Google Squared is an experimental search tool that collects facts from the web and presents them in an organized collection, similar to a spreadsheet. If you search for [roller coasters], Google Squared builds a square with rows for each of several specific roller coasters and columns for corresponding facts, such as image, height and maximum speed.

I found this on Google Blog.
Working on the search team over the last few years, I have heard interesting stories of how Google has made a difference to individuals across the world. For instance, Yanick Cusson from Canada wrote to tell us about how he found his father:
“I will always remember the very first day I got Internet at home. I had not seen my father in 17 years and had no clue where he was. The very first web page I went to was Google, and I simply wrote his name in the search box, and guess what? A public announcement from the government dated four years back mentioned him as promoted! I called the person who wrote the announcement, and by luck, she worked one floor up from my father’s office. She transferred me directly to him, and we started talking. We have been in touch since then, and it’s great!”
It’s stories like this that show us how Google Search can make a real difference for people — and that’s what keeps us excited to come to work every day. If you have a story to share about how Google Search has made an impact on your life, we would love to hear it. Tell us here by writing your story or posting a video. We look forward to hearing from you.

Bug 1
Nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as “CON”. This is something pretty cool and unbelievable. At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn’t answer why this happened!
Try it now and let me know.
Bug 2
For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1) Open an empty notepad file
2) Type “Bush hid the facts” (without the quotes)
3) Save it as whatever you want.
4) Close it, and re-open it.
Is it just a really weird bug?
Bug 3
This is something pretty cool and neat and unbelievable. At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn’t answer why this happened!
It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself…
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
and then press ENTER
See the magic
