SOME UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT GOOGLE

  • by

  1. “GOOGLE” IS A MISTAKE

Do you know, that “Google” is a mistake? The founders originally decided to go with the word Googol which is a mathematical term represented by the numeral one followed by 100 zeros. This was to show that the website can show tons of data. But, the twist came when founders were buying the domain they used the wrong spelling of “Googol” and they used rather “Google” and they were too happy but later they got to know that there’s something wrong but they decided to roll with it.

  1. THE FIRST GOOGLE COMPUTER WAS MADE FROM LEGO

You people must be what but yes due to budget constraints, the Google team has to go with lego sets to make tracks for the server which is not that weird because its founders were also poor college kids like us at that time.

But now it runs more than one million servers in data centers around the world to handle over 3.5 billion searches made internationally every day. Hard to imagine that it all started with a lego set.

  1. GOOGLE RENT GOATS

Yes, They rent goats to maintain the grounds of its headquarters. In 2009, They replaced lawn mowers with a herd of 200 goats to clean off the ground under its Green Initiative.

God knows what all perks they will be getting inside the HQ’s.

4. GOOGLE GAVE MOUNTAIN VIEW GIFT OF FREE WIFI

In 2006, the organization chose to give Mountain View, the California town where its principal central station is situated, free city-wide Wi-Fi. While positively liberal, it likely recently implied that considerably more individuals were allowed to hop on the web and utilize the web crawler.

  1. Gmail was launched on April Fool’s Day

Playing with Silicon Valley’s longstanding custom of pulling April Fool’s Day tricks, They revealed Gmail on April 1, 2004, in a wackily-worded declaration that was generally confused as a scam. It wasn’t Google Gulp. It was a splendid twofold phony and the forerunner to a Google staple that presently serves a huge number of clients over the world consistently.

Search Engine Google

  1. Google NY started in a Starbucks

In 2000, They informally commenced its New York arm at a Starbucks in New York City. It was helmed by a one-individual deals “group.” Now, a huge number of “NYooglers” check-in at its swanky, 2.9 million-square-foot New York office.

  1. There’s a reflection of Google

There’s a rotated version of Google known as ‘Google Mirror’, which shows everything in a mirrored avatar. It might sound like just fun and pointless add on but it helped to get it banned in China.

  1. Google first office was a garage

Started in September 1998, the company’s first workspace was Susan Wojcicki’s garage on Santa Margarita Ave, California. As for the house that built Google, the tech titan bought it because it was a historical place for everyone and then they filled the house with candy, snacks, and lava lamps.

Now, It is so much more than just a search engine, bringing out innovative ideas and trying out new things on almost a daily basis. It’s hard to imagine how they started and where they’ll be going next.

Why PC Gaming is better than Consoles ?

  • by

So, in this article, we are just continuing the old PC versus Console gaming debate with some of our arguments to prove my point “That PC Gaming is better”.

So, the first point to validate my point is “The ability to upgrade”. The best part is that you can upgrade your PC whenever you want to whereas you can’t even touch a single component of a console. The beauty of PC gaming is upgradability which means you can upgrade your PC whenever a new high resource-demanding game comes into the market.

Regardless of whether you constructed your very own or you purchased a PC from a gadget store, you can change out the parts with crisp new ones when they begin to demonstrate their age. Every single part inside a PC can be swapped out pretty effectively — it’s somewhat similar to cutting edge Legos.

Console vs PC Parts

While parts inside the console’s generally stayed unaltered through the span of their reality. All things considered, Sony has turned out with the PlayStation 4 Pro with 4K support, which is somewhat similar to updating the parts in a PC.

Another best thing is that you have full control over your PC and you can customize it the way you want it to be. You can give your PC a look that no console can match.

Consoles come in pre-decided specifications which manufacturer thinks is perfect for both consumers and manufacturers but you can build your own PC from scratch, you can pick and chose exactly what parts you want like a case, motherboard, graphics card, processor, RAM, and storage.

Why PC Gaming is Preferred?

pc gaming advantages vs console

Another main reason why I support PC gaming is you don’t get bothered by others whereas when you have a console you need television and if there are other people in the home then they also need television and its very irritating when your siblings disturb you when playing games because they want to watch some kiddish show.

PC games give you control over how you want to play the game, not as console where you have only a joystick with predefined controls which are pretty confusing also. In PC’s you can customize the controls and even you are a joystick person then you can play with the joystick also.

PC Gaming Advantages

Console games don’t have cheat codes and mods whereas PC games are customizable in itself where you can use MOD’s to improve gameplay or change however you like.

For example, almost all the GTA games have MOD’s where you can make it look better or you can even get some new unique weapons. There was one MOD for GTA V where you can use Samsung Galaxy Note 7 as dynamite (got the pun ?).

So who doesn’t love playing games with friends but do you know consoles charge hefty money to play multiplayer games and PC doesn’t take a penny to play with your friends. So, PC gaming saves you money in the long run.

There were few arguments from me to prove that PC gaming is better but if you got some arguments to cross-question me then you can post comments below and let us know.
