Google unveils deforestation monitor to combat climate changethe  philanthropic arm of Google, Google. org, introduced on Thursday a deforestation monitor that could be a useful tool to combat climate change.
Using a new platform, its high-performance satellite imagery-processing engine, the company can crunch the massive amounts of data stored on Google's servers to instantly produce,
using satellite images, detailed maps showing changes in forests over time. The platform, unveiled at the  International Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, could be used as a tool for nations to comply with the United nations-proposed REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries) program
 Google. org wrote in a  blog post. Emissions from tropical deforestation are comparable to the emissions of all of the European union,

Google wishes barcodes happy 57th birthdaywhen millions of people this morning switched on their PCS,
the ubiquitous Google doodle was unusual. It was a barcode. Why? Google is celebrating the 57th anniversary of the first patent for barcodes.
Google itself says little about its choice its choice except Invention of the bar code. Normally, the Google herald celebrates a holiday or person, not a thing.
This morning's Google doodle Patent number 2, 612,994 was granted to barcode inventors Norman J. Woodland of Ventnor, N. J. and Bernard Silver of Philadelphia on Oct 7, 1952.
In pure`patentese,'the second paragraph reads as follows: It is to provide automatic apparatus for classifying things according to photo-response to lines and/or colors
which constitute classification instructions and which have been attached to, imprinted upon or caused to represent the things be classified.
The doodle spells Google in Code 128, according to Techcrunch. Google is not exactly a disinterested party
when it comes to barcodes. It has an open source project known as ZXING to allow cell phones
Wikipedia barcode in code 128 What I find remarkable is that when Google honors the barcode by its doodling it,
everyone including me writes about it. At the moment, there's 69 related articles about the barcode doodle.
Norman Joseph Woodland, according to Wikipedia, celebrated his 88th birthday on Sept. 6 Â and got his idea in 1951
Norman J. Woodland Silver who died young in 1964 does not have his own Wikipedia page,
Google's new super headquarters open in London's Covent Gardengoogle s new super headquarters in London by designers PENSON may be home to some Union jack flag themes,
Pension really delivered on Google's new digs. The designers call the design a London townhouse-hybrid
Pension has named different parts of the office things like Secret Gardens, Allotments, Google Green, Google Park and Grannies Flat,
in compliance with Google's famed Red List that focuses on removing toxic ingredients of materials.
The Gardens connect to Google's cafe, and Google Park, which is a big garden.
The cafe was designed with a retro-feel and has a view over the city. The Google Green looks out across this area
linking together the cafe, Gardens and the Town hall, and features couches for Town hall overflow or informal meetings.
The super HQ follows along the new trends in office buildings, especially for the more progressive tech companies like Apple, Google Facebook and Twitter.
So Google Green, take note: There's a hungry segment of small business owners who could really benefit from real-time guidance on avoiding slow roads,

We'd like it to be thought of in terms of Wikipedia. I don't use Wikipedia all the time. But there have been a few times
