Google has a tradition of changing its logo on certain special days to reflect that day's importance.

It's Google's way of reminding us certain dates that we should never have forgotten and also a way of paying tribute to someone who did something important to mankind.
Like for instance, Google has celebrated the 125th birthday of Walter Gropius, the profound German architect that falls today, by changing the Google logo to reflect a series of buildings.

All these 'Google special logos' are designed by a graphic artist named Dennis Hwang.

Google Trends says that Yahoo is more popular than Google since a long time. Even though the graph of Google has been steadily climbing, it has never beaten Yahoo. Should we or shouldn't we believe you Google?

Well, Google didn't forget the Linux community this time. Google broke the old tradition of releasing software for Windows first, when a Linux version of Google Earth 4.3 (beta) was released together with the Windows and Mac versions. And as Amit puts it together, Google Earth 4.3 is a complete 'Wow!'

How to install Google Earth 4.3 beta in Linux?

Enter this command into a terminal and hit enter

wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin && chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin && ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin

This downloads the Google Earth installer and starts the graphical installer. At those on a slow connection, the installer is about 19 MB in size.



Watch this eye popping video of new features in this release of Google earth and head over to gearthblog.com for a complete overview of the new features.

I have been an avid user of Google Reader since it was introduced. I have more than one hundred feeds subscribed, each one categorized in an appropriate folder. I get around 150 feeds each morning, and if I had decided to read all of them, my boss would have been too happy about that. But each morning, I manages to complete my feed reading in just half an hour. How?

Two features of Google Reader comes to my help.

1. List View.
   
   Always select the list view. This shows the title of each article. If it is something that interests you, click the title to read the full post. In Expanded View you have to scroll through all the post to find whether there is any post that you might be interested.
   
   
   
2. Mark all as read.
   
   If you are someone like me, you hate unread feeds as much as unread emails. It makes me think I have unfinished business, takes my concentration away from where it ought to be. So I always make my unread feed count zero before leaving Google Reader. Hit the magic button.
   
   It's holiday season, and most of you returning after holidays may find them selfs drowning under a large pile of unread feeds. Selecting individual feed and hitting "Mark all as read" can be quite tiresome when you have a large number of feeds subscribed. Google has provided a rather neat solution for that. Select "All Items" from the top left menu. This displays all posts from all your feeds. Now hit "Mark all as read". You have your unread feeds reseted to zero. Peace
