Google, Hello! What's Your Name?


Google, Hello! What's Your Name?

Hello Google, what's your name? As the late great Douglas Adams once said, it's good to talk. And that certainly holds true when you're talking to Google, one of the most powerful and ubiquitous brands in the world. But do you know what Google's real name is? In fact, do you even know what name was chosen for this search engine when it was first launched in 1998? You might be surprised to learn that there isn't just one Google name – but many.

Self-driving cars

Google’s self-driving cars (currently being tested in Silicon Valley) are at Level 4 of automation. This means they can be fully automated no human input necessary. The entire car is essentially one big computer powered by an array of sensors: cameras, lasers and radar. 

Google has said that its self driving cars have already traveled 1.5 million miles with only a handful of accidents caused by humans (none of which were serious). However, there have been a few incidents blamed on defects in Google’s software and it's unclear whether there are bugs or glitches still yet to be discovered that could cause problems for users. 

Currently, many people believe self-driving cars will help alleviate traffic jams and make commutes safer for drivers. There are also more far-reaching implications: In theory, we may soon see fleets of self-driving trucks hauling cargo from coast to coast or buses carrying passengers from city to city without any driver involvement whatsoever. 

While these possibilities sound exciting, they also raise questions about safety and security (e.g., what happens if someone hacks into a bus full of passengers?). For now, expect semi-autonomous features like parallel parking assistance and lane departure warnings to show up first in luxury vehicles before moving downmarket as costs come down over time.

I am feeling lucky button

Here’s what you need to know about that little button: when you search for a general term like hotels in New York City, Google will show you a list of options and you can click on any one of them. You won’t see paid ads here. Now, when people search for a brand name like Kellogg’s Cereal or American Airlines, they might see an ad that says I am feeling lucky. 

This is where that little blue I’m Feeling Lucky button comes into play. When someone searches for a specific brand name, Google may include a special link at the top of its results page called I'm Feeling Lucky. Clicking on it takes users directly to that company's website. 

This feature helps businesses reach potential customers who are looking for their products or services but don't necessarily want to use keywords in their search queries. This part should talk about - Hello google tumhara naam kya hai: When you search for your own name (or anyone else’s), Google shows a personalized card with your picture and information pulled from public sources such as Facebook. 

The card also includes basic facts like your age, gender, occupation, education level and hometown. If you have a public Twitter account linked to your personal profile (and many people do), then Google will also pull in some recent tweets from there as well.

My Account

Log into your Google account. Click on My Account. Under Personal info & privacy, click on Manage your name under your profile picture. Scroll down to Privacy: How do I make my information private?, and click on Go to settings. Under Profile name, type in whatever you want to use as your display name. Hit Save. Now anyone who looks up your name will see that instead of John Doe or Jane Smith. 

To see what it looks like, go back to your search results page (just type something into the search bar) and look at someone else's results. You'll see their full names next to their pictures that's what yours will look like too. Note that if you want people with whom you interact regularly (coworkers, family members) to be able to find you by searching for just your first or last name, you can leave off your middle initial or even just choose a common one like John D. or Jane S. 

If you have Gmail, YouTube, or other Google accounts linked to your main one, those accounts will also change over to using your new name. However, if you don't want them changed over (say because they're work-related), check out these instructions from Google about how to unlink them so they won't get affected when you change your name. 

If you have an Android phone and are logged into any services through its built-in Google account management system (like Hangouts), those may need changing too. There are more detailed instructions here . And if there are any other apps that use data from your Google account, they may need updating as well you should contact each app developer individually to ask how best to proceed.

How many colors can your computer see?

The answer is 16.7 million. That’s how many colors can your computer see; roughly 1 in every 65 thousand of them are visible to a human. Of course, technology isn’t limited by that number alone and scientists are hard at work to develop new ways to improve machine vision systems and drastically increase color range and overall resolution capabilities. 

For example, researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a high-density OLED display that will be able to display up to 1000 times more pixels than current displays while only using 1/10th of its power consumption rate. In order for computers to see images, they need cameras in other words, an image sensor. Computers use cameras just like humans do: They convert light into electrical signals which are then converted into numerical values (this process is called digitization). 

Then, computers use these numbers to create digital images based on their original analog counterparts. If you think about it, it’s actually quite amazing that a camera can capture millions of pixels per second with little delay or lag time. This part should talk about - How many colors can your computer see.

Generally speaking, there are two types of sensors that computers use CMOS and CCD. CMOS stands for complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, which means that all photoelectrons created from photons hitting each pixel are collected and stored in buckets. 

These buckets help reduce noise, especially when shooting video footage. CCD stands for charge coupled device and refers to a bucket system similar to CMOS but rather than storing electrons after conversion happens immediately right after creation. So why is color so important?

The Daydream View VR headset

The Daydream View is Google’s first take on a VR headset that works with its flagship smartphones, including newer models like Pixel. The headset itself is light and easy to use; once you put it on your head, you just slide your phone into one of three slots and click a button to turn it on. 

With Google’s excellent Daydream app installed, then all you have to do is hit start and you’re in VR. There are even a few games already available for download through the Play Store if you want to test out how well your new tech works. One downside: A lot of top apps aren't optimized for Daydream yet (or at all), so don't expect full-featured versions of Facebook or Twitter just yet. While other headsets may be more advanced, they also tend to be heavier and bulkier. 

Google has worked hard to make sure that The Daydream View feels as comfortable as possible, from its unique fabric material design to its ability to stay cool while wearing it. Because of these factors, I can easily say that The Daydream View is my favorite mobile VR headset available right now at least until we see what Apple does with ARKit later this year.
