the way we all access and even think about information.
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.

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

equipment. Maybe Google wated to maintain their secrecy because if the
information of their equipment was shared google will not have that special
charateristic and other competitors will try to match their results.
