    we all know, google has always been the most dominant search engine. Google Earth is amazing. friends, ever tried to see Nepal on google earth??? you can actually see Kathmandu :) preety well...i am from western part of Nepal...Dhanghadhi and i could even distunguish my preety lil house...took a while though. Google's greatness does not stop here, before gmail, yahoo and hotmail were only proving 2 n 4 MB space for free email but after gmail...they were forced to provide 240 MB (hotmail, in beta it's 2 GB), 1 GB (yahoo, in beta its 2 GB). but still gmail is just extraordinary with conuting on storage size, labels, quick search, best spam filter etc isnt it? not only that, recently they are planning to buy youtube.com n they will soon be awarding 'best' videos on the site :)

     

    there are lot many other amazing things google brought us for FREE as gtalk (its k), picasa etc but now google reaches peak with new package...

    "Google Apps"

    Communicate...

    Give your users Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Talk accounts that use your own custom domain, helping them to stay connected and work together more effectively.

     

    Collaborate and publish...

    Docs & Spreadsheets lets users share files and collaborate in real-time. The Start Page is the first place your users will look to preview their inboxes and calendars, access your essential content, and search the web.

     

    ...and get on with business.

    It's all hosted by Google, so there's no hardware or software to install or download, and minimal setup and maintenance. You can get up and running quickly, even if you don't have technical resources.

    you can sign up for Premier (if u want to try) but u need to provide em credit card info. However, if u are not intrested u can cancel it before April 30th and u wont be charged :) isnt that free??? till deadline

    The Giraffe Test: Are You Really Qualified To Be A "Professional"?

     

    I don't want to worry you. You may have a good job and have been through college and various levels of training. But the thing is, you may not be qualified to be a "professional." The short quiz below consists of four questions and will reveal the truth.

     

    1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

     

    The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door.

     

    This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

     

     

     

    2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

     

    Did you say, "Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?" (Wrong Answer)

     

    Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door.

     

    This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

     

     

     

    3. The King of the Forest is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?

     

    Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory.

     

    OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

     

     

     

    4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?

     

    Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the animal conference.

     

    This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

     

    Note: According to sources, Anderson Consulting Worldwide (now "Accenture"), said around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting reportedly said this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

     

    now try this out on some of your "smart" friends
