By the time it floated in 2004, Google was clocking up more than 200 million searches a day. Fast forward to 2024 and Google processes 8.5 billion searches daily - or 99,000 a second.

At the time, the search engine was just a prospect - but Wojcicki was so excited by the potential of Brin and Page's plans, she quit her marketing job at Intel on the spot.

The world's biggest airship has been unveiled as the Pathfinder 1's massive range of flight experiments begins. This gargantuan blimp, measuring 400 ft (121.9 meters), is nearly twice the length of a Boeing 747-8 quadjet, the world's longest aircraft.

LTA Research, a company owned by Google co-founder Sergey Brin, has funded the massive airship.

The hacker has said that the massive announcement is intended for 'families supporting Zionism,' sparking rumors that it might be used to threaten Jews based on their ethnicity, especially the Jewish community. However, experts have warned that data from the website and other companies, such as AncestryDNA and MyHeritage, may be used to sue anyone who has submitted a £100 swab. According to reports, nefarious criminals could use the details obtained via hacking these pages to blackmail subscribers and impersonate them.

Hundreds of thousands of Brits who used 23andMe to test their DNA were encouraged to change their passwords today, after a hacker named 'Golem' sold genetic profiles online for $10 per person. Golem has leaked millions of new user data, including information relating to the British Royal Family and dynasties, such as the Rothschilds and Rockefellers. The hacker has stated that the massive outbreak is targeted at "families supporting Zionism," causing rumors that it may be used to harm victims based on their ethnicity, particularly the Jewish one. Golem has noted that the database contains four million 23andMe customers with roots in Great Britain, 'the richest people to live in the United States and Western Europe.' Anne Wojcicki, the company's CEO, is expected to be worth $850 million and co-founded the company in 2006. She was married to Google cofounder Sergey Brin for eight years, becoming one of America's richest couples until their divorce. She is yet to comment on the suspected data leak, but a spokesperson for the company said it is'reviewing the evidence to see if it is legitimate.' A kit is sent in the mail to £99 23and million people. They spit in a saliva collection tube and send it back to a lab. A report detailing their DNA and ancestry is released online within three to four weeks by a password-secured account. The DNA of £238 was tested for health information, including risks of cancer, heart disease, and elevated blood pressure. Email addresses, photos, gender, date of birth, and genetic ancestry are among the stolen extensive DNA profiles, according to Golem. According to online publications, profiles are worth $10 per cent or $1 if bulk purchased in blocks of 100,000, but a significant number of 4 million were allegedly leaked online.

Google will appear in court today against the Justice Department and a coalition of states alleging antitrust abuses
www.dailymail.co.uk,
September 12, 2023
The proceedings got underway at 9:30 a.m., with both sides' opening statements taking place at 9:30 a.m., with the Justice Department being the other principal. The claims that the company misabused its dominance of search by pacing deals with wireless providers and smartphone manufacturers began by a veteran DoJ prosecutor who served on the government's last big monopoly case. Kenneth Dintzer, the company's lead litigator, said he and his staff had papers 'that match exactly' what Google did because the dealings made it so their search engine was the first thing users saw when they turned on their phones and browsers. He appeared in the court a 2007 case where a Google engineer said obtaining default search positions on Apple, LG, and Samsung devices could be a 'powerful strategic weapon' for the company's success - and a 'Achilles heel' for rivals. Google knowingly orchestrated those company dealings, with the intention of rigging the market and stomping out competitors in the process. Google, according to the government, participated in the campaign with the intention of stumbling out competition, while Google counters it faces a wide variety of competitors despite monopolizing nearly 90% of the internet search market. Google's case hinges on allegations that Google improperly orchestrated those company relations, rigging the market in the process. It's the government's first big monopoly case in a quarter-century, and the first in the modern internet age.
