Google Inc

   

   Google Inc. - The American multinational public corporation that invests in Internet search, cloud computing and advertising technology. Google maintains and develops a range of Internet services and products, and profits primarily from advertising, through its program AdWords. The company was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. 

   Google - search engine owned corporation Google Inc. First of popularity (84.65%), handles 41 billion 345 million queries a month, indexes over 8 billion Web pages, can find information on the 191 language. 
 

   Page and Brin initially named their search engine BackRub, because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of the site. 

   In the end, they changed the name to Google - an erroneous spelling of the word "googol", indicating the number of ones and zeros of hundred. It was chosen to show that the search engine wants to provide people with more information. Originally, Google was working on a site at Stanford University and had a domain google.stanford.edu 

   The domain name for Google was recorded September 15, 1997. The company was registered on September 4, 1998, and August 19, 2004 began selling its shares on the stock market. Then, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt has agreed to work together on Google for twenty years, until 2024.

   In 2001, Google received a patent that describes the mechanism of PageRank. The patent was officially issued by Stanford University and Lawrence Page's points as the inventor. In 2003, the company leased its current office complex at Silicon Graphics in Mountain View (California). The complex has since become known as the Googleplex (from the word "googolplex", meaning the number with a unit and googol zeros). By this time the name Google has become a household speech, with the result that the verb «google» was added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary with the meaning "use the search engine Google, to find information on the Internet." 

   The stated mission of the company from the beginning was "organizing the world's information, ensuring its accessibility and usefulness for all", and informal company slogan, coined by Google engineers Paul Buchheit: "Don`t be evil".

   Google controls more than a million servers in data centers around the world and handles over one billion search requests, and twenty-four petabytes of user data each day. The rapid growth of Google since its inception has led to a large number of products, unrelated directly to the company's flagship product - the search engine. Google has such online products like e-mail service Gmail, Orkut social tools, and Google Buzz. The company has and desktop products, such as browser Google Chrome, a program for working with photos Picasa and instant messaging Google Talk. In addition, Google is developing a mobile operating system Android, used on a large number of smartphones, as well as the operating system Google Chrome OS, which is still under development. In 2010, Google distribute 15,000 netbooks "CR-48" produced in partnership with Intel, were on board Chrome OS, used in solid-state SSD drives at 16Gb. Notice of the possibility  receive netbook from Google's received some owners of mailboxes Gmail. In order to get the CR-48 on hand, it was necessary to fill out a questionnaire to confirm the condition of use and above all - be a U.S. citizen and is on its own territory. The main condition of the apparatus consisted in the use of cloud computing from Google. Maybe in Russia, this machine does not appear (at least in the initial configuration), because it uses encryption technology forbidden KGB.

   Main site Google - google.com - is the most visited Internet sites, and numerous international sites Google (google.co.in, google.co.uk, etc.) are in the top hundred in attendance, as well as several other sites services Google - YouTube, Blogger and Orkut. Under the version to BrandZ, Google - the most powerful brand in the world. In 2011, Google was recognized as a company with the best reputation in the U.S., ahead of Microsoft, Sony and other companies. The dominant position of Google services on the market leads to criticism of the company on issues of privacy, copyright and censorship.

   In addition to the above services, Google offers a number of tools for different needs.

   Most of them - a web-based applications, that require the user to only the availability of the browser in which they work, and an internet connection. This allows us to use data from anywhere in the world and not be tied to one computer. Some of the services require the installation of additional programs (Flash-player graphics or a client for instant messaging) in addition to a comfortable work to a high speed connection (512 KB / s Google Video, from 256 KB / s Google Earth).

   Advantage of services and tools Google - the existence of a centralized data warehouse and thought-out interface.
