Google fires unpopular products at random

Google.com has announced the termination of six Google service products. Just yesterday Google post on their blog a detailed briefing of the products which include Google Bookmarks List, Friend connect Gears, Search Timeline, Wave and Google Knoll. The post on Google's blog titled “more spring cleaning out of season”. Some Google customers are not soo happy about the discontinuation of a more popular web application called translate. The applications grants you the ability to translate languages. I will miss this tool, but the Google user body will never fully understand the reasoning to killing Google Translate. I use this tool all the time. This tool is a gateway to enter foreign websites.Google's decision seems a bit random in my conspiracy theory state of mind.

Inspire me too!

Nothing can inspire me more than a good movie. When I become engaged into a film, I feel like the main characters challenges become my own. Some inspirational films that I have watched in the past have inspired my interest in technology. The movie hackers pumped my interest in my early teenage years. I wanted to be like the main character, Zero Cool, the same hacker who kisses Angelina Jolie and the end of the film. Nerdy fantasy like this inspired me to learn how to type properly, console into computers and learn about computer networking. Most inspirational films like this leave me thinking about it for months or every time I want to get inspired again. If it were not for such films, the world would have very bad films.

Even though films are a great source of inspiration, the people in my life have inspired me to advance in my future.
