GOOGLE has captured the face of Jesus — in the middle of a FIELD. Satellite pictures appear to reveal the Lord's bearded face staring out of the ground in eastern Hungary. Eagle-eyed web browsers noticed it while looking at Google Maps images of remote farmland.

7 Future Facebook Features Facebook hasn’t updated in quite sometime and rumors are floating around that another big update is just around the bend. This has been met with mixed reactions: some people upset at the idea of another change in interface so soon, some still upset about the last update, and some just upset about Facebook for ideological reasons. 1. The “Stalk” Button: For years now, you have been able to poke your friends, message your friends, tag your friends, send your friends potatoes, IM them, and so on.

The marketing campaign of Microsoft for Windows 8 appears to have begun – the company briefly published a blog on msdn.com, and then took it down almost immediately. The blogger added that Windows 8 was “something completely different” from previous operating systems. Rumours had surfaced last month that Windows 8, which is referred to in the blog post as Windows Next, would launch on July 2011. Although the blog post reveals little detail, its brief appearance and subsequent deletion probably means that it will attract more attention than had it simply been published. Publicly, the company’s European head of Consumer and Online, John Mangelaars has said only that “Windows 8 will be mindblowing”. Sales of Windows 7, launched in July last year, were behind a large part of Microsoft’s 60 per cent increase in quarterly profits for the end of 2009, but the company is likely to come under increasing pressure in coming months. Google’s Chrome OS and Apple’s iPad are likely to challenge...

The company showed off its Google Chrome OS, saying that the lower-end PCs called Netbooks will include it in the second half of 2010. The new operating system will be based on Google’s 9-month-old Web browser, Chrome. Google intends to rely on help from the community of open-source programmers to develop Chrome operating system. It is promising that users will be able to fire up their computers and get on the Web in a few seconds. The rivals have spent years attacking each other, but with Chrome OS, Google makes it entry into Microsoft’s core territory, its lair. So, is it time for Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer to get worried? Not really, feel many analysts. Here’s why. Windows in Netbooks The early versions of the Chrome operating system will be tailored for Netbooks, a breed of low-cost, less powerful laptop computers that are becoming increasingly popular. However, a vast majority of Ne...
