The deal was reported in the TDN (Europeans partner with Turkish food portal) and the Milliyet Newspaper (Turkish: Yemek Sepeti’ne Almanlar girdi).

"Virgle" - Google Founders Page And Brin Want To Colonize Mars - I Can't Go
2008-04-02 00:18:00 "Virgle" sounds and reads like a great project. The founders of Google and the founder of Virgin want to collonize Mars. But my take on this, after some thought, is why the hell should we focus on taking our fucked-up act to Mars? Why can't Larry and Sergey focus on problems right here at home and in the U.S.A? We've got an economy that's a mess. High crime rates. Homeless people abound. And yet, these guys, these billionaires want to go off and start a Mars Colony. They want you to make a YouTube video and explain why you want to go to Mars. Heck, I'm going to explain why we should not go to Mars, at least not now. I think it's a waste of great time, money, and energy that could be applied to more worthwhile projects right here at home. I also don't like they they get to chose who goes. Why? Because it's there project? Will there be any Black folks beyond the estimated one percent who work for Google? I wonder. Well, here's their video:Larry and Sergey: Ri...

2007-11-07 18:29:00 Have you caught on to the YouTube craze? This video-sharing website has rocked the World Wide Web. Now, anyone can post a video and become world-famous overnight. From science experiments and music videos to adorable animals and laughing babies, more than 200 million videos are watched on YouTube every single day.YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, said they were inspired during a dinner party at Steve's San Francisco home. His guests had cell phones and digital cameras that could record video, but they didn't have a good way to share them with one another. "There's lots of services that share pictures, but when it comes to videos, you try to e-mail them back and forth and they were too large to e-mail," Steve says. "It's really complicated to try to share these videos online. So we thought with more people with digital cameras and more people with cell phones, people would start running into these problems."Chad, too, was one of those people?he had a new baby and wante...

Were "Early Baptist Founders" Anglicans?
2007-09-17 07:31:00 I recently received the following quote on my post entitled Are Baptists Protestant? I felt that it deserved an entire post dedicated to its rebuttal.“As John Smythe and the early Baptist founders were Anglican Separatists and the Anglican Church is very much a protestant church, I would argue that, yes, Baptists are protestants.”This premise is false on three fronts.Baptists predate the Anglican Church.The Anglican church was not founded until 1534 A.D. (17 years after the spark of the reformation). In fact, the very founding of this denomination came as the result of a conflict between Henry VIII and the Catholic Pope. Henry wanted a divorce from Queen Catherine of Aragon and the pope would not allow it. In retaliation, Henry declared himself as the supreme potentate of the Church of England and the Anglican Church was officially born.Baptists, however, were alive and well long before the advent of this new religion. Pay special attention to the following quotes.“We sha...

Google Founders Pay NASA for Jet Access
2007-09-14 16:12:00 Google Inc. co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are reportedly paying $1.3 million a year so their Boeing 767 plane can take off, land and park at a NASA-managed airport located just a few minutes away from the Internet search leader's Silicon Valley headquarters.The deal became effective Aug. 1, but NASA's Ames Research Center didn't announce the agreement until this week following reports that the large jet had been spotted at Moffett Federal Airfield located near Google's hometown of Mountain View. The news raised concerns about noise problems in cities neighboring the former naval air station.Moffett Field is normally off limits to private aircraft, but the space agency made an exception for Page and Brin in exchange for the right to carry scientists and their equipment on planes used by the two billionaires.NASA already has taken advantage of the agreement to study the Aurigid meteor shower, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, which reported the unusual arrangement...

2007-09-13 04:28:00 Author: Eric Subject: Most Think Founders Wanted Christian USAPosted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 10:28 pm (GMT -4) Most Think Founders Wanted Christian USA Andrea Stone Most Americans believe the nation's founders wrote Christianity into the Constitution, and people are less likely to say freedom to worship covers religious groups they consider extreme, a poll out today finds. The survey measuring attitudes toward freedom of religion, speech and the press found that 55% believe erroneously that the Constitution establishes a Christian nation. In the survey, which is conducted annually by the First Amendment Center, a non-partisan educational group, three out of four people who identify themselves as evangelical or Republican believe that the Constitution establishes a Christian nation. About half of Democrats and independents do. Most respondents, 58%, say teachers in public schools should be allowed to lead prayers.

Inside the Google Machine - from the founders
2007-09-10 17:09:00 Today’s video is good 20 minutes long but its really worth every second. Sergey Brin and Larry Page co-founded Google in 1998, and redefined the way people use the web. Now two of the world’s richest people, they still play an active role in the company, encouraging fresh approaches to Google’s unique culture and its expanding suite of services. In this video they offer a peek inside the Google machine, sharing tidbits about international search patterns and the philanthropic Google Foundation project (which soon became Google.org). They talk about how their shared Montessori background led to the company’s “20 Percent Time” policy, which is directly responsible for success stories such as Google News and AdSense. Google’s dedication to innovative thinking and employee happiness is behind everything from the offices’ specially soundproofed projectors (which make it much easier to follow what’s being said in meetings) to the ...
