Google is refining search algorithm by returning only the most relevant results at the top of the page, sparing people from combing through the less relevant results below. For example,PageRank, named for Larry Page. It works by counting the number and quality of links to a page to determine a rough estimate of how important the website is. The underlying assumption is that more important websites are likely to receive more links from other websites.
6.Take a look at the following story about Google's top secret data center. Now why would Google want to keep its server room as a secret?
Google is one of the world’s largest hardware manufacturers, thanks to the fact that it builds much of its own equipment.

9.Talk about at least 3 projects that Google is currently working on. What do they want to accomplish? How long will they take to complete?
Home automation: Its Android @Home platform already has connected light bulbs, coffee pots, and more in the works. On top of that, Google has its eye on moving beyond the home, to a much broader "Internet of Things." At the company's most recent developer conference, it rolled out its open accessory development kit for Android, inviting makers everywhere to get busy connecting anything from small gadgets to big machines.
Robots: Google is reportedly running a secret division dubbed "Google X," which includes a lab in an undisclosed location where robots rule the roost,
Driverless cars :The company that provides directions and street-level data for all locations should make the cars to take you to them as well. That one of the new challenges that Google is taking today.
