Google is going to launch its fiber-optic experimental network. As reported in the official company blog, Google’s innovative broadband network will allow to transfer data at ultra high speed. At least 50,000 users will be connected to this network at the first stage of the project. And then this figure may be increased to 500,000 people.

This new network will open doors for the Internet applications of the next generation developed for high speed access.

: Google Netbook

A Google netbook based on Chrome OS may be as real as a much-talked-of Google smartphone based on Android OS. So this new gadget should be considered as the best product for support of the first PC operating system that was developed by Google programmers.

According to the rumors that appear in different online-communities of IT experts, Google plans to put its netbook on the market at the end of 2010. As expected, it will have embedded modules for broadband Internet connection (WWAN), 3G and 4G modems and flash memory instead of hard drive.

Welcome to life beyond beta, Gmail!

Finally Google announces beta tag removal in Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Talk. Well, they all look and behave the same way they did yesterday, as far as I can tell. If there are changes, they will be aimed specifically at businesses. It’s understandable that no matter how reliable a service may seem, the beta label would still prohibit many companies to use it on a professional level. With this milestone Google will take a serious approach to targeting businesses for its Apps suite.

In fact, Gmail had been in beta for so long I wondered if it was part of its logo. Clearly, the beta tag doesn’t mean as much as it used to back in 2004, so if you feel nostalgic, you can stick back the “beta” label for your account. Just for old time’s sake.
