Serious threat to the web in Italy

Posted by Matt Sucherman, VP and Deputy General Counsel – Europe, Middle East and Africa (cross-posted from the Official Google Blog ) In late 2006, students at a school in Turin, Italy filmed and then uploaded a video to Google Video that showed them bullying an autistic schoolmate. The video was totally reprehensible and we took it down within hours of being notified by the Italian police. We also worked with the local police to help identify the person responsible for uploading it and she was subsequently sentenced to 10 months community service by a court in Turin, as were several other classmates who were also involved

Association of personalities with different brands and its impact

In the past, we have had sports personalities earning money for advertising almost anything; so for example, many very fit sports personalities advertise junk fizzy drinks that do nothing but add empty calories to diets all over, and nobody seems to have objected in the past. It is only now that there seems to be

Phone Card Connection Fees

Connection fees can be one of the more onerous and tricky hidden fees charged by phone card service providers. Some phone card suppliers advertise enticingly low rates for making calls but charge a connection fee which is a hidden charge that is not included in the advertised rate. This fee is charged whenever a call is connected so it is a charge for each call that is made and is not based on the duration of the call.

The Wonder of Nature

Being in France one got used to all sorts of creatures running around in the garden (and the house of some occasions) from very large Toads to Lizards and Snakes plus the occasional Wild Boar and Bull (from the next field, who liked grazing in our orchard rather than their own field). I have some wonderful stories about one particular Bull which I named Daisy (I know the name doesnt suit) I’ll cover this soon.

As Time Goes By

OK If you read my previous Blog, then you may have guessed what we now do to keep the wolves from the door. Its that four letter word that has become a household name. Having spent the majority of money that we came back from France with on a very modest house – we had very little money to play with, but we felt a permanent residence was better than renting, at least the money we had would not quietly diminish

What Are Your Best Pre-Algebra Websites?

My Math Department is building a website with resources to help incoming (and existing) freshmen with some of the math skills that will help them be successful in high school mathematics. At this time, they are focusing on three areas: Fractions (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing) Integers (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing) Order of Operations We would really appreciate it if you would share websites (either explanatory or skills practice, or both) that you think are helpful for students in these areas. If you have a website you think would be really helpful that doesn’t fall into one of these areas, feel free to add that as well, as they hope to expand on this site in the future

The Rise-and-Shine Discussion

With my stint in Houston a few days behind me, and a much needed vacation stretching out before me, all I’m left with are the few freelance jobs I’ve taken on to keep me busy.  So waking up early is….well, just an option.  I can meander from under my covers as early (or late) as I want, and while enjoying the benefits of my new found liberty, I wondered how the rest of Blog Catalog feels about waking up. The discussion topic this week was simply, “What’s the First Thing You Do When You Wake Up?”.  The responses came in a pretty wide variety.  Going pee first thing was a trending response, as was saying a quick prayer.  HaplessHermit even said he cries first thing in the morning.  But the most common answer seemed to be ignoring (or abusing) that good ole faithful alarm clock. Scenexg responded that he’ll “hit the snooze button 7 times” before he gets out of bed every morning.  Jaspuri chimed in that his alarm, which is an app on his mobile phone, won’t allow him to hit the snooze button until he’s solved a maze and a math puzzle!  My praises go out to Jaspuri for having more strength than I.  I punch my blackberry when it doesn’t open Google fast enough, I can only imagine what I’d do if it wouldn’t shut up at 5 AM

Troubled voice over 3G

A few things have changed over the last month in the voice-over-internet arena since our last post about why there’s still no VoIP over 3G on the iPhone . Apple has finally given the green light for voice apps that use 3G mobile internet connection, and some of the developers have immediately jumped on the bandwagon. However, we’d like to remain cautious.
