#Google powers up highly scalable cloud-based Nosql database Google has introduced a new cloud-based Nosql database powered by Bigtable that is automatically scalable and designed specifically for large-scale implementations with an eye on the Internet of things.
Cloud Bigtable runs on Google's powerful Bigtable data storage system that already powers Gmail, Google search and Google analytics plus there's the added bonus that it's compatible with the Apache HBASE API.
The latter configuration means that it can be used with almost all existing applications in the Hadoop system whilst at the same time supporting Google's own Cloud Dataflow.
Google boasts that the solution offers its customers single-digit millisecond latency and double the performance per dollar when set against HBASE and Cassandra, according to Tech Crunch.
Cloud Bigtable is by no means Google's first trip into the cloud-based Nosql database space.
but is rather different in that it targets read-heavy workloads for mobile and web apps.
Google Cloud platform product manager told Tech Crunch, adding that many customers start on Cloud Datastore

On Black Friday last year, websites crashed, sales records were smashed and shoppers ravenously scooped up deals on tech, games and clothing in
while GAME's website was selling PS4 and Xbox One consoles to British gamers at a rate of 3, 600 per hour.
The numbers on Black Friday in 2014 were so big that websites fell over like Victorian ladies on a hot day, with HP, Best Buy, Currys, Tesco, Argos,
Boots and Game's websites all requiring smelling salts. The Currys website in the UK crashed
despite the company having implemented a system where users had to queue to use it,
And while Black Friday chaos online led to websites crashing, bedlam on the highstreet tends to be a lot more troublesome.
To give you an idea of just how busy the sites were, John Lewis and Currys-two of the UK's biggest retail websites-both saw their web traffic triple compared to Black Friday 2013.
Meanwhile, Techradar's own Black Friday pages attracted more than 1. 6 million page views. So it's no exaggeration to say that the pre-Christmas retail landscape was changed forever on November 28 last year.

#Europe is targeting Google under antitrust laws but missing the bigger picture Google it today and youl see that the European commission has turned up the heat in its long-running probe into anti-competitive behaviour by the web most popular search engine.
EC competition chief, Margrethe Vestager, issued formal objections alleging that Google abuses its dominant position in the market of eneral internet search In particular,
the EC claims that Google artificially boosts its own products in returning Google comparison shopping results in its service oogle Shopping

Since taking office in November 2014 Vestager has made the Google inquiry a top priority, signalling a willingness to consider court battles
and hefty fines if Google and other digital giants don fall into line with European competition law.
In this, she has displayed a distinct shift from her predecessor, Joaquín Almunia, whose multiple attempts to achieve private settlement with Google fell apart a year ago,
before descending into a political and economic boxing match. Vestager announcement comes amidst increasing restlessness by European policymakers that omething must be doneabout Google.
Identifying with precision the source of that anxiety, and the appropriate focus of action, is rather more challenging.
It focuses on the first and clearest of a number of complaints filed in 2009-10 by various Google competitors-from other giants, such as Microsoft, to small, struggling or defunct web businesses.
These complaints range from the EC current focus on Google prioritisation of its own products within vertical search services (currently,

#Google is reorganizing and Sundar Pichai will become new CEO In a blog post today,
Google cofounder Larry page announced a massive restructuring of the company, instituting Sundar Pichai as CEO and shifting himself and cofounder Sergey Brin to a larger holding company called Alphabet.
As CEO and President of Alphabet, Page and Brin will oversee Google as well as affiliated companies like the life extension project Calico and a drone delivery venture called Wing.
Alphabet will also direct Google's early-stage funding operations, dubbed Capital and Ventures. Under the new organization, each of those operations will have its own CEO and leadership
while Pichai and Google retain control of search, ads, maps, the Google Play Store, Youtube, and Android.
All Google shares will now be traded as shares of the larger Alphabet holding company, news that drove the company's share price up more than four percentage points in the wake of the announcement."

"I feel very fortunate to have talented someone as as he is to run the slightly slimmed down Google
it's an extension of a shift that's been ongoing within Google for some time, with Brin and Page increasingly interested in ambitious projects launched through Google X or outside funding.
Alphabet formalizes that division, separating Google's traditional products from the more ambitious ventures that critics have accused of distracting from the company's core strengths.
It remains to be seen how the new divisions will play out in practice, but the intention seems to be renewed a focus on both Google's current products
and the moonshots that aim to replace those products as Alphabet's focus in the decades to come."
#Google has a new logo Google is introducing a new logo today. Just a month after unveiling a major restructuring of the company,
Google is updating its image, too. The new Google logo is still a wordmark, but it's now using a sans-serif typeface,
making it look a lot more modern and playful. The colors are also softer than they used to be.
The logo bears a bit more resemblance to the logo of Google's new parent company, Alphabet, as well.
As Google's video introducing the new logo notes the wordmark has been evolving ever since it was created in 1998.
when Google first cleaned up the lettering and settled on its four colors. Since then, the logo has just been flattened out more and more,
Google is also changing the tiny"g"logo that you see on browser tabs. It's now going to be an uppercase"G"that's striped in all four of Google's colors.
Google says that the new design will be rolling out across all of its products soon in fact
it's already on Google's homepage, with a cute animation that wipes away the old logo and draws in the new one.
So why did Google decide to make the change? In a blog post, Google discusses how much technology has changed how we interact with its products and with the internet at large.
It doesn't really settle on a specific reason that a redesign was needed, but it says that this logo should better reflect the reality that Google is no longer a site you visit on a desktop computer it's a huge collection of sites, apps,
and services that you visit on PCS, Chromebooks, smartphones, and anywhere you can find a web browser.
Google writes that its new logo is meant to reflect"this reality and show you when the Google magic is working for you,
even on the tiniest screens.""Making the logo look good on small screens seems to have been a major consideration.
The new, simpler lettering is supposed to scale better to smaller sizes, making the wordmark more distinct and easier to read.
It's also supposed to be easier for Google to display on low-bandwidth connections:
Google says that it's made a version of its logo that's"only 305 bytes,
compared to our existing logo at 14,000 bytes.""Given that one of new Google CEO Sundar Pichai's big goals is to bring the internet and Google,
of course to areas of the globe that don't already have it, that small difference is definitely going to be an important one r

#Why Google Project Fi could be the beginning of the end for Verizon and AT&T Google made an exciting announcement Wednesday,
confirming plans to launch its own wireless service, Project Fi. The service will leverage existing Wi-fi networks
Google announcement is a great thing for the wireless industry the Wi-fi First industry and ultimately, a great thing for consumers.
and Google is the company to pave the way (and do so quickly). Given its size and influence in the device space,
Google Project Fi could help accelerate the adoption of Wi-fi First through a couple of key moves.
Google has the opportunity to speed up this adoption by creating standards and device requirements that would make Wi-fi connections more mainstream,
At the same time Google ushers in Wi-fi First to the masses, its wireless vision could fundamentally transform the role major carriers play in the market.
When you buy a phone through Google, Google will manage the relationship with Verizon instead of you.
When Wi-fi isn available, your device will automatically select which network it should connect to based on availability,
Youe buying the phone from Google, youe paying Google, and youe calling Google support if you experience any issues.
If Google move means consumers now have billing relationships with only Google, Verizon brand (which the company spends more than a billion dollars promoting each year) is diminished.
This model commoditizes the wireless carriers while simultaneously putting downward pressure on their margins. As such, the Wi-fi First business model eliminates erizonfrom consumersvernacular,
Based on Google track record, if there is any player that can take down Verizon and AT&T, who have been upselling consumers on wireless service that isn efficient
or cost-effective for decades, it Google. And it only a matter of time before carriersrelevance to smartphone subscribers everywhere is diminished.

#Google Alphabet: Where the brand vision? This week, Google grew up. Taking many in the business world by surprise,
the tech giant restructured itself under a new holding company, Alphabet. The shake-up means many of the oonshotprojects Google picked up over the years have been spun off into separate and independent companies,
while Google retains the most profitable side: search and advertising. To many, Alphabet will make a lot of sense.
Google had started to seem like a mega-conglomerate that was too powerful for its own good
and this will help change that. But there is a problem. Google is an exciting and innovative brand.
The company has spawned belief statements learned by heart by brand strategists and copied by businesses across the world.
more accountable and more management scalemakes Google sound more like a financial services firm than the innovative tech company we know and love.
Finally, Google vision, or the way it sees its position in the world, has always been core to its brand,

most creative people in the world, react to this new, corporate focus? After all, these are the same software engineers who are encouraged to design their own desks
People work for Google because it exciting, but the messaging wee heard this week has been anything but.
and could be a brilliant way of bringing order to Google complexity, the language surrounding the announcement also hints at new limitations,
Alphabet must still include the spirit of Google brand values within the new company and concede less to the financial markets
