I shall Google that yeah?

As you all know, Google is one of the fastest growing internet company ever known to mankind. At least it seems like one to me. Some of you might consider Youtube as a huge breakthrough. Wait till you check out these 3 new products/service from Google itself. Cant imagine any other companies doing this...but yeah, i'm sure ppl from Google will be able to pull this thru. Man...they shud be paying me to advertise for them =/

1.) The Gmail Paper
Summary: For the users of gmail, now they will be able to receive their mails in hardcopy. Yes, ur emails will be printed out and send to your house. But so far its for US and Canada, since its still in beta stage Here's the screenshot
And here are the Gmail Paper FAQ's for the service:

Is it free?

Yes. The cost of postage is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements, which will appear on the back of your Gmail Paper prints in red, bold, 36 pt Helvetica. No pop-ups, no flashy animations—these are physically impossible in the paper medium.

How about attachments?

All part of the deal. Photo attachments are printed on high-quality, glossy photo paper, and secured to your Gmail Paper with a paper clip. MP3 and WAV files will not be printed. We recommend maintaining copies of your non-paper Gmail in these cases.

Is there a limit?

You can make us print one, one thousand, or one hundred thousand of your emails. It’s whatever seems reasonable to you.

But what about the environment?

Not a problem. Gmail Paper is made out of 96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment. For every Gmail Paper we produce, the environment gets incrementally healthier.


Sounded too good to be true? Yups,totally. Who could have imagine this might made possible. Talk bout having actual spam mails. Hehe.
But havin the thought of it, they are darn rich. So it is possible for them to provide such service.
Moving on...

2.) Google Romance

This might be a lil boring and overused. But still, they wanna join in the rest of the crowd.
Yups, its another friendster, myspace, dating.com, etc etc etc

Since you all know how it works (or at least have a rough idea). I shall skip this. Aint tht fresh for an idea tho

3.) TiSP Beta (I really like this one =), i do hope it will be use worldwide)
http://www.google.com/tisp/

I'll just summarise it out, for those of u whoa are lazy to read their long draggy facts and figures.
First of all, they are coming out with their own internet service provider,aimed to get a higher speed than before. How? By utilising the sewage system instead of the telephone or cable line. By doing so, you will have a wireless connection coming from your toilet. Yes, you heard me...toilet! Where else u gonna get connected to the sewage then?!

Here's how its done:
1. Firstly, you will get a starter kit by registering for it. Its free since its in beta testing stage.
2. Remove the optic cable from the kit
3. Grab both ends firmly, as you release the weighted cable end and flush it down. This will send the cable to the system with thousands of TiSP Access Nodes


4. Plug the fiber optic cable into the TiSP wireless router, which will counterweight to withstand the force of flushing. After doin so, run the installation cd to configure the network settings

5. Lastly, wait bout 60 mins or so for the Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers (PHDs) to remove the sinker and plug the line into the global data networking system. Of course u do need to inform them that ur line has already been set up.

Voila! Your officially done

And check out the speed, you wont believe it
And now your thinking, Streamyx do suck big time. If we're to even compare it with their ordinary broadband.

Sad to say, it is only for US and Canada as well. Furthermore, our flushing/water system is the septic type where else for them, they are using the sewage system.
You know, we use the underground pipes which are linked to Indah Water. As for them, they just have to pop out the manhole cover and there they are, inside the underground tunnel sewage.

I know, i got very jealous of their internet connection. Whats more TiSP is all free and faster? =(
Darn it.
Anyway here's the vid from youtube. It made it to the news on FoxNews



























































Probably some of you might already find out bout it
But yes....ITS ONLY AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE!!! Lol.

Each year, Google will come out with something on the 1st of April to play around with its viewer. It will always seemed like a new product launching. Haha. Dun worry, the TiSP fooled me as well. Whats more when i viewed it on the 1st! =)

Anyway here's a funny video posted on youtube regarding bout pranks.
