Let's talk security and why you should take advantage of Gmail's recent SSL feature, and why you might want to be careful using other non-SSL webmail services. But first, make sure your connection is secured using SSL. How do you know a connection is secured by SSL? The handy "s" after "http" will tell you. For example, https://mail.google.com is encrypted while http://mail.google.com is not. You can force an encryption by adding the "s" yourself, or by turning on "Always use https" from the Browser Connection settings of your Gmail account.

Google Inc. is releasing its own Web browser in a long-anticipated move aimed at countering the dominance of Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer and ensuring easy access to its market-leading search engine. The Mountain View-based company took the unusual step of announcing its latest product on the Labor Day holiday after it prematurely sent out a comic book drawn up to herald the new browser's arrival. The free browser, called "Chrome," is supposed to be available for downloading Tuesday in more than 100 countries for computers running on Microsoft's Windows operating system. Google said it's still working on versions compatible with Apple Inc.'s Mac computer and the Linux operating system.

"One of the most common questions I receive is about how to become a Google Certified Trainer. So I have put together an infographic detailing the five steps to becoming a Google for Education Certified Trainer.

I have helped several hundred educators across the U.S. reach their goal of becoming a Google Certified Trainer. But that's not enough! I want to help everyone reach their goal of becoming a Google Certified Trainer. So to kick things off, I have put together this infographic detailing the five-step process."

Výborný plakát se základními operátory pro vyhledávání (nejen) na úvodní stránce Google, ale třeba také na Scholar. Praktické ukázky, kdy je nejprve řečeno, CO chci najít a teprve pak ukázáno s pěknou grafikou JAK to najdu. Líbilo by se mi v češtině.

"Nejnovější experiment od Googlu, který opět má pomoci s propagací prohlížeče Chrome, má potenciál zabavit vás na delší dobu než všechny předchozí dohromady. Nelze se divit, vždyť Lego nás už v dětství bavilo dlouhé hodiny, kdy jsme se od kostek nedokázali odtrhnout. Populární stavebnice si našla cestu na web. Jedná se rovněž o propagační materiál pro nadcházející film The Lego Movie. Dost bylo zbytečného řečnění, raději do adresního řádku zadejte www.buildwithchrome.com a začněte stavět."
