Google Logos



When Google was a Stanford research project, it was nicknamed BackRub because the technology checks backlinks to determine a site's importance.

Google - our favourite search engine, displays different logos from time to time. Here are some of my favourite google's holiday logos:

1. Leonardo da Vinci's Birthday - April 15, 2005



2. Leap Year - February 29, 2004


3. Happy Valentine's Day! - February 14, 2004


4. Google celebrates Einstein's birthday - March 14, 2003


5. Father's Day - June 16, 2002

Microsoft's XBox 360

Microsoft's XBox 360 is the future of digital entertainment. It boasts of the most popular and stunning games, a DVD player, internet connectivity, and plethora of intelligent services. With so much to XBox 360, some people have gone to the extent of saying that this is not merely a gaming console, its here to change your lifestyle in social terms forever.



Unlike the first-generation XBox, the 360 is sleek and concave, with optional face plates and a glowing green on/off button. XBox 360 is very un-Microsoft because it reaches acme of innovation and as we all are familiar with Microsoft's bullish work culture and with innovation least on its priority list. This has been made possible because XBox 360 was developed in a far-off simplistic, unimpressive Microsoft Center called The Millenium. This is the place where all the Microsoft's money losing projects are done. But in this project Bill Gates is betting billions of dollars. XBox 360 has been driven by one of their head shaven whacky VP named J Allard who is often called as "Baby Gates". Even Bill Gates admits that he and Allard are very alike and share the same insane passion for the technology. Here's J Allard for you (the brain behind new XBox)



Microsoft has sold 20 million of XBox 360's predcessor since its introduction in 2001. The machine has outsold Nintendo's GameCube console and has seen its momentum grow dramatically as it gets more mature. Despite its successes, the Xbox is merely an also-ran when compared to sales of Sony's PlayStation 2, which launched a year earlier and has sold nearly 87 million units. By being first to market in the next generation with the launch of XBox 360, Microsoft hopes to reverse its market position with Sony and take a leadership role in the industry.
