Google Chrome Logo Domino

Dominos are fun and by looking at the work of this guy (and all the many other works he did) I finally know what self control mean...

Google Doodle with Pac-Man

Google celebrates 30 years from the release date of Pac-Man (22 May 1980 in Japan) with a doodle that's not just good taste but also very fun. Reach Google today and find their logo changed in a googolized version of the original Pac-Man level. There's more, you can interact with the doodle and play Pac-Man. Click one more time on the "insert coin" button and play a double.
I'm falling more and more in love with Google every passing day.

What's Google Knol?

Can someone explain me how Knol is supposed to be different or give the community a benefit with respect to Wikipedia?
Maybe providing way to share alternative knowledge on same topics?
Maybe Google's trying to limit Wiki's "power" by introducing and, possibly, pushing an alternative tool?



Knol is currently beta. What a surprise! :)
Thanks for feedback.

First African-American president in the U.S.A. history

One more time the huge book of history records an astonishing fact and, despite what you think of the political man or of his political program, this time is for the good.

What a better way to say "we've finished with all the racist stuff" that making it possible for an African-American to be elected president of the United States of America? Yes because despite all the money pouring, the advertisement and tv manipulation, and the natural desire for a change, this Obama success is the product of a radical change in the Americans mind that was just there in the corner awaiting for the chance to come to the light - and Obama gave it that chance.

So look at this glorious victory recorded in Google 2008 Elections Map

The Google 2008 U.S. Election Map

Google's for sure not only the top search engine and advertisement guy but it's also a map pal. With Google Maps and Google Earth you can explore, search and track down a lot of stuff (not only places!).

The 2008 U.S.A. Presidential Election is the event of the year, especially if we consider that should Barack Obama win it would be a milestone in the history of the United States of America. For the first time ever a black man could lead the most influential country in the world.

Well, google set up a page containing all the tools to follow this exciting presidential race and now there's a new map designed to keep track of the votes leading to the election of the new U.S. president.

Sightseeing Italy's major cities with Google Street View

On October 29th Google Maps Street View hit three Italian major cities plus the area around Como lake in the northern part of the country.
You can now go and have a stroll down Milan, Rome or Florence streets or the romantic coastline of the Como lake.

Google Maps Street View (together with the other geo apps like Google Earth) is the sightseeing killer application as it gives you the chance to visit places you've always dreamt to go but, for a reason or another, never managed to fulfill. As GMSV expand in coverage and quality the world gets shrinking and shrinking. These geographic apps make me think of the rift information technologies creates between what once were (and by most educators still are) the regular education tools and the resources that are available nowadays, easily and free. Just think of Google Earth, we X-Generation guys and girls used to see something like this (much more rudimentary though) in 80' movies or comics. These systems were usually pictures of high level military resources. Nowadays we used satellite maps to spot our pic-nic place!

Have I already said that I totally confide in technology (and especially in free open source software and open source hardware) for a better world?
