Great pyramid

Just another reason to be a Googler!

It is no surprise that many techno companies offer a range of perks and other benefits to attract or keep their employees. These special offers have the effect of keeping the employee’s work place happier and make them be in the office more often. Because if you give your employees enough reasons to be around the office ,you are in likelihood to see productivity of the company go up.

Why on earth do you wanna head home when "everything" you need is at work? ;)

Google as always goes a step further in making their employees happier with a whole range of perks and  special offers! 

So, here is TechStrip giving you reasons to hate the fact that you (we) don't work at Google!

Google's new update of its Search Engine to sink the rankings of pirate websites

Google on Friday said it will be implementing a new search formula to give higher priority to legal contents and sink rankings for websites hit with piracy complaints.

Amit Singhal, Google's senior vice president of engineering, posted in his blog that they will be taking into account a new signal in their ranking. A particular websites ranking will be lowered based on the number of valid removal notice that it receives.

Singhal also said that Google receives more copyright removal notices daily - some 4.3 million in the past 30 days - than it did in all of 2009.

Websites that have been accused of piracy could defend themselves using "counter-notice" tools provided by Google, if they are innocent.

Motion Picture Association of America senior executive vice president Michael O'Leary said the film industry group was optimistic that change would help steer people away from "rogue cyberlockers, peer-to-peer sites, and other enterprises that steal the hard work of creators across the globe." 

Microsoft Kills Hotmail and gives birth to ‘social-friendly’ Outlook.com!

Microsoft the software giant killed its long standing email service Hotmail and gave its mail service over to ‘social-friendly’ Outlook.com.

The changes include the new email address “@outlook.com “ which will replace the older “@hotmail.com” address, used by  millions worldwide for more than 10 years of its service. Users can already "Upgrade to Outlook.com" to keep their existing address.

CoolMail

 Hotmail still the world's largest email service with 324 million users (about 36 per cent of the market) but had been losing its market to Google's fast-growing Gmail with 425 million users!
