The procedure for changing your DNS settings varies according to operating system and version (Windows, Mac or Linux) or the device (computer, phone, or router). We give general procedures here that might not apply for your OS or device; please consult your vendor documentation for authoritative information. Note: We recommend that only users who are proficient with configuring operating system settings make these changes. Important: Before you start Before you change your DNS settings to use Google Public DNS, be sure to write down the current server addresses or settings on a piece of paper. It is very important that you keep these numbers for backup purposes, in case you need to revert to them at any time.

...individual or group to seclude themselves or information, which therefore means that they get to select what information about themselves gets released to the public. Search engines and the internet cause the boundaries of what is considered private information to be blurred. Once private information gets released on the internet, it becomes very difficult to remove this information completely because it may have already been copied or archived. The internet and search engines have made people wonder what is actually considered private information. Since the line is very vague, it makes it very difficult to regulate and each problem that arises is unique because technology is changing at such a fast rate. The common question that seems come out of all of these privacy issues is how can technology companies like Google grow and remain competitive in the long run while remaining ethical and giving users their privacy? Privacy of personal information is a fundamental right of any person. No one wants his/her private details to be known to other people, especially ones who they are not familiar with. However, human society is based on cooperation between people. Society simply cannot function without this vital interaction between two human beings. No one is that capable or skillful enough to fulfill his/her daily requirements alone. The very fabric of society exists because a person has to depend on other people to get things done. Whenever one person talks to another, he/she unknowingly...

...DO YOU GOOGLE OR NAH? Nicole Edison American InterContinental University Abstract This paper will intend to provide an in depth look at Google as a company and not just a search engine. This paper will deliver qualitative data from research prepared and analyzed. Introduction In the twenty first century the face or in this case the faces of fortune five hundred companies are becoming younger and younger better known as generation ‘X”. From Facebooks owner Mark Zuckerberg to the two fledgling faces of Google Larry Page and Sergey Brin, what use to look like a three piece suit and loafers now look like khakis, a polo style shirt and Sperry’s. The world is changing and so is the way we bank, date, shop and for the most part find answers to anything we need to know. From BackRub’s To Google Google has become a household name so much so that in two-thousand six, Oxford English Dictionary added the word “Google” as a verb and has become a chosen way of researching almost anything for some as results will show later on in this paper. In nineteen ninety-six two Stanford University college students formed a company called BackRub which was created to find the significance of certain webpages. This search engine was made available to the student body of Stanford University only; and within four months the search engine was receiving over ten thousand searches daily which was a clear indication that there was a great need for a service of this kind and...

...people that make Google the kind of company it is. We hire people who are smart and determined, and we favor ability over experience. Although Googlers share common goals and visions for the company, we hail from all walks of life and speak dozens of languages, reflecting the global audience that we serve. And when not at work, Googlers pursue interests ranging from cycling to beekeeping, from frisbee to foxtrot. We strive to maintain the open culture often associated with startups, in which everyone is a hands-on contributor and feels comfortable sharing ideas and opinions. In our weekly all-hands (“TGIF”) meetings—not to mention over email or in the cafe—Googlers ask questions directly to Larry, Sergey and other execs about any number of company issues. Our offices and cafes are designed to encourage interactions between Googlers within and across teams, and to spark conversation about work as well as play. It’s pretty well documented that Google has a unique culture. It’s not the typical corporate culture. In fact, just by looking at pictures inside the Googleplex, you can see that it looks more like an adult playground, not a place for work. But Google’s success can be attributed to this culture. Google has people who’s sole job is to keep employees happy and maintain productivity. It may sound too controlling to some, but it’s how this world-changing organization operates. So can Google’s culture teach us anything? Yes. Google bases nearly everything off data, and while...

...Google Case Memo 1. Culture at Google a. Diagnose the culture at Google. From the material provided, I believe that Google has a very unique culture that can be thought of as a very strong customer-responsive culture. Their company motto is “Don’t be Evil” which exemplifies their goal of developing products in the best interest of the customer. Although they deal with their customers in a virtual world, they have increased customer satisfaction through their innovations that are developed in order to improve the usefulness and efficiency of their products. Additionally, Google encourages innovation within its organization. Engineers are allowed to spend 20% of their time to work on “pet” projects, which has cultivated numerous projects. Some of the more successful projects include Google Earth, Gmail, and Google mobile which allows customers to get answers via text(Google gears down). Furthermore, this empowers the employees of Google to create and improve effective products that will increase the convenience and satisfaction customers will experience when using the internet. Google seeks to eliminate hierarchical structures by dividing employees into small teams that work on certain tasks. Also, Google offers employees with incredible perks that set them apart from other companies and increases job satisfaction and motivation within their employees. For example, there is free food, free fitness center, and a free doctor on site that the employees have access to. Google is...

At Google, the goal is to focus on the YOU the consumer. Originally, Google was a research project that was performed by two Ph. D students by the name of Sergey Brinn and Larry Page in 1995. By 1996 their first search engine was named “Back Rub” and in 1998 established as incorporation September 4, 1998. Their first office was housed in garage.

...Ethics and Social Responsibility at Microsoft This section opens up by covering all the ways Microsoft has contributed to what the author has claimed to be a “positive reputation”. It covers everything the company has done to give back to society and how the company prides itself on its ethical standards, antitrust compliance and responsible competition. Microsoft is even quoted in the case that “it is committed to responsible and sustainable business practices that consider the social and environmental consequences of its actions”, but this after a decade of ethical and legal problems stemming from antitrust issues and several patent infringement complaints. The question is, would Microsoft have such a “positive reputation” today if we didn’t have the Sherman Act 1890, the Clayton Act 1914 and the Federal Trade Commission Act 1914 and if the Federal Trade Commission never began investigation Microsoft back in the early 1990s. Legal Issues Impacting Microsoft In the United States, Courts have held that a market share below 50% precludes finding monopoly power, and the leading treatise suggests that a share of over 70-75% for at least five years is required. While the law in the US allows creation of a monopoly, the courts have interpreted this to mean that monopoly is not unlawful “per se”, but if acquired through what the courts consider prohibited conduct, then it is unlawful. The Supreme Court also says, that a monopoly may engage in practices that any company...

...Google Case Study Taylor Anderson, Trenton Moses, Jacob Pyeatte, and Nicole Simon Southeast Missouri State University Abstract Google is a large corporation that leads the business world in providing a high-quality work environment for its employees. This paper will discuss the benefits Google provides to its employees, how the company is able to provide said benefits, and the human resource policies and strategies implemented within the company. Furthermore, this piece will offer answers to several questions asked at the conclusion of the textbook article as well as provide facts and suggestions regarding Google’s corporate structure and policies by referencing primary sources and using personal feedback from the authors. Google Case Study In the textbook, Human Resource Management by Gary Dessler (2011), an article on the powerhouse corporation, Google, was written regarding the company’s benefits, human resource strategies and policies, and how the company is able to provide such a work environment. Research will show whether or not Google’s new job candidate screening process is effective, how Google affords to give out such elaborate benefits, how Google recruits its employees, and more. Google has implemented a new candidate screening process that correlates personal traits from current employee’s answers on a survey regarding employee performance (Dessler, 2011, pp. 712-715). Some believe that this strategy limits Google’s ability to find the right candidate, but...
