Alright don’t get me wrong here. A wristband for some movement against HIV, terrorism or mere friendship sounds okay and acceptable but taking the Hand Shake movement this far sounds quite annoying. The movement itself has got such a flare that it has been given a blue colored wristband that says it out loud to skip the shake and Fight the Flu. I am not sure how many die hard followers this campaign has but for those who really are can get ten for $20.

Okay so we got water on the Moon and we got to know it quite a long time after the Moon Bombing. Which apparently is the reason why Google has taken the time to actually change its logo. Looks nice, perhaps I am big fan of the Sky, space and NASA but I am still wondering what more has NASA discovered and how rich is all the data those bombings have revealed to the space agency.

The Moon bombings might not have gone in vain as all television networks alerted the audiences of NASA finding water on the Moon. The LCROSS mission had uncovered the water on Moon last month in the Cabeus cater on Moon’s South Pole. The image released shows the explosion 20 seconds later and the plume sort of appears to be… a face [watch closely please]. Whatever that explosion may look like, NASA says it has hands on massive amounts of useful data, meaning we might have some other interesting things coming out for us in due time.
One question, is this water drinkable? I mean the astronauts might need some to kill their thirst in later missions.

What exactly is this new strategy of Rupert Murdoch? I mean why would he make News Corps’ content invisible to search engines? Okay, have the ever hungry lovers of News Corps subscribe to get the same news which they can elsewhere? Too many questions, but to be honest this is such a lame move, given that almost every other news service is leveraging the power of search engines to generate that extra bit of traffic along with a few bucks. Apparently Murdoch thinks Google users usually come to the site, thanks to a search, read one article and then disappear. So I guess he is trying to state that every other service should do the same? Bad move, and I hope he reverses it before News Corp is left to be nothing but some once glorified name in the next few years to come.

Now I didn’t know that Google GOing ahead to call its programming language Go would dig out some old ruins. Apparently Google has either been too careless with this or it really wanted to use its massive influence to overrun Frank McCabe’s efforts. Yes, McCabe has stepped out with solid proofs that state he already had a programming language by that name along with a book called Let’s Go! Now this is really annoying given that all your hard efforts just go in vain given that Big Daddy has chosen the same for his language. Google on the other hand is just quite, rather claims to be unaware of any such name to exist.

Craig Newmark is making his move as the Craiglist founder joins Wikimedia Foundation‘s advisory board. The board as we all know was created back in 2007, where members would at the yearly conference to decide and discuss various issues and share their expertise. With the inclusion of Newmark, I guess the Foundation is looking forward to have a customer service expert or something on similar lines for the guy.

While Google must have taken quite some time to get rid of the beta label, Microsoft has been pretty quick with that. Microsoft removed the beta label off Bing. This is primarily for the UK users and offers them localized search. The other important announcement includes the release of Bing Maps for the UK, meaning that users will no longer be directed to Multimap. While all this sounds impressive enough, the homepage will also feature photos of favorite spots in the UK.

With all the confusion surrounding the Google Chrome OS project, the Google might just announce its launch in the coming week. The biggest issue to present remains the shadowy nature of the hardware drivers which its engineers desperately try to work on. The other bit of rumor also states that Google is pushing hardware manufacturers to help create drivers for them. Now, this OS might be one of the best decisions by Google of late, but if this driver issue isn’t brought to attention the whole thing might just fall apart. This indicates the obvious, Chrome OS will not be functional on any device out there and might be fully supported on a select few perhaps Lenovo, HP, to name a couple.

Myxer has achieved a milestone as it crossed the 10 million ringtone mark that it had provided for the iPhone users. Users can download its tones in either of the two ways. The iTune users can grab the tunes directly from any channel, plus it has the site too where users can download the tunes from a library of over two million tunes. However if you are looking for an easier way to do so all you have to do is simply subscribe to the podcast and your iTunes automatically checks for files and download them. I am not a big phone of the iPhone but the device has really done quite a lot good to everyone around, ringtones is just another one of the list.
