I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this theorem, which this doodle is too small to contain.
Google Says: I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this theorem, which this doodle is too small to contain. This is in honor of Pierre de Fermat, who said: “I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain.” The full sentence of what de Fermat actually said was, “it is impossible to separate a cube into two cubes, or a fourth power into two fourth powers, or in general, any power higher than the second, into two like powers. I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain.”

How to (ineffectively) contact Google Checkout

Re: [#839702105] I am reporting a problem not mentioned on the contact form Hello, We’d be more than happy to assist you and answer your question. However, to protect your privacy and security, we’re unable to respond to this inquiry because the Google Checkout Merchant ID you’ve provided is not associated with the email address you’ve provided. Your account and payment security is our highest priority. One aspect of our security safeguards is that we don’t release certain account information without a way of identifying the recipient of that information. We ask you to resubmit your request with an email address and Merchant ID associated with the Google Checkout account about which you’re inquiring at http://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/request.py?ara=1&ctx=emm A Merchant ID is a unique, numeric code assigned to your business by Google. The Merchant ID must be associated with one of the email addresses stored in your Google Checkout account. Here’s how to find your Google Checkout Merchant ID: 1. Sign in to your Checkout merchant account at http://checkout.google.com/sell/ctx=emm 2. Click the ‘Settings’ tab. 3. Click ‘Integration’. Your Merchant Key and ID will appear under ‘Account information’. Sincerely, The Google Checkout Team
Google Bans Adwords use for Facebook
You can no longer use Google Adwords to advertise things on Facebook. If you have anything that is related to Facebook and want to promote it, you will first need to get it approved by the Adwords team. I learned about this from a friend who has founded a social media marketing company who was trying to do some advertising. He sent me a transcript of the phone conversation he just had with a Google Adwords representative so I could share it here. Caller: Hello, I am calling because I received a promotion to advertise our company on Adwords. Google Adwords Rep: Hello, let me just get your name, email address, and website please. Caller: ____, _____, and _____. Google Adwords Rep: What is it that your company does? Caller: We assist small businesses establish an effective presence on Facebook and Twitter. Google Adwords Rep: Alright well I will actually have to check with my higher up to get this approved because we recently stopped running Adwords for Facebook. Caller: You did? Why? Google Adwords Rep: Yes, well we are currently in a fierce legal battle with Facebook so we have started screening our Adwords. We are turning down adwords that promote Facebook. I will email you within the next two days to let you know whether or not your Adwords campaign is approved. Maybe that fierce legal battle, which they are not discussing the details of, is related to Facebook’s advertisements, or the new Google Plus One service, which looks very … Continue reading
Google Implements Voice Search
Google Implements Voice Search At 1:18am EST on 23 June 2011 Google has implemented Voice Search. Google Voice Search was a tool from Google Labs that allowed someone to use thei phone to make a Google query. After the user called (650) 623-6706, the number of Google Voice’s search system, they would wait for the words Say your Search Keywords and then say the keywords. Since the introduction of the service, products from Google, such as GOOG-411, Google Maps and Google Mobile App, have been developed to use speech recognition technology in various ways. Next, they would either wait to have the page updated, or click on a link to bring up the search page the user requested. At the moment, both the demo of this service and the page have been shut down. In the summer of 2008, Google added voice search to the BlackBerry Pearl version of Google Maps for mobile, allowing Pearl users to say their searches in addition to typing them.

Google Fails Graceful Degradation
I’m a big fan of Graceful Degradation, Progressive Enhancement, and accessibility in web design. And I think that normally it is also important to Google as well, after all they have hundreds of millions of visitors each day and surely they stretch across the spectrum in terms of devices, browsers, and bandwidth. This is why I was very surprised to visit the Google homepage today without javascript and not see the Google Logo! I know that most people do have javascript enabled, but is it that hard to set up your page so that your branding doesn’t go missing when it is turned off? I feel like Google should have checked that. I mean, they do allow their search to work just fine without Javascript, so why not the logo too? I feel like this must have been an “oops” as they were probably working on the technology for the eclipse last minute or something. That was pretty cool technology that they used today, by the way. after
