Why Google Changed Their FavICON

You may have noticed that Google has a new favicon, the small icon you see in your browser next to the URL or in your bookmarks list.

Few days ago Google changed their favicon, from “Big G” to “small g“. It was a surprise! Why would google change the “Big G” which is recognised all over the world!

Lots of questions filled my head…
• Why would google change the “Big G” which is recognised all over the world and create a dip in its brand recognition.
• Is this one of the google’s marketing trick to create buzz(as if they need one!)
• Is it trying to re-brand? (why would they do! everything is working more than fine for them)

No need to ponder more... I just "googled" it and found the answer on their own blog.

Chips stack up in third dimension

Stacks of chips, one on top of the other, will power the next generation of superfast PCs, IBM has announced. Laying chips vertically, instead of side by side, reduces the distance data has to travel by 1,000 times, making the chips faster and more efficient. Big blue has said that it will start producing the compact silicon sandwiches in 2008. Chip manufacturer Intel has previously announced that it is also developing similar vertical chip technology. Last year, the firm unveiled a chip with 80 processing cores and capable of more than a trillion calculations per second (teraflops) that used vertical stacking technology. Other firms, such as Tru-Si, have also developed techniques for creating 3D stacked chips. High rise Today most chips are laid out side-by-side, connected by wires. The new technique involves placing chips directly on top of each other, connected by tungsten filled pipes, etched through the silicon. These "through-silicon vias" (TSV), as they are...

A problem I faced with WSS 3.0 configuration

I’d like to share a typical problem recently I faced with WSS 3.0 configuration on a Windows 2003 Server. I created a virtual machine with Windows 2003 OS and named it “ myvpc ” in a hypothetical workgroup viz. “ WKGP ” (I initially planned to use it in stand-alone mode). Then I installed all available updates to the Windows Server and .Net framework 3.5 with IIS followed by Stand-alone installation of Latest WSS 3.0. The default team site and central administration site were working smooth. I even created another application using central administration. Later I changed my mind and thought that it would be better if I include this virtual machine into our company’s local intranet Domain. At this point of time I had to change the PC name from “ myvpc ” to “ SUDEV-VPC ” due to some or other reasons. Now, suddenly none of the SharePoint sites were accessible even from the “ localhost “! I opened IIS console and noticed that “SharePoint Admin” site was stopped!!! I checked the systems log...
