“According to Silicon Alley Insider“

Working for Google is like a trip to paradise and most people who have been employed by the Mountain View-based company confirm it. Free food, swimming pools, restaurants, fast-foods, pool tables and gyms. They’re all free for the Google employees. But, have you ever asked yourself how much is Google spending on all these things? Well, the Silicon Alley Insider made an interesting analysis over the Google food budget, revealing that the Mountain View company spends more than $70 million a year for the food it offers to the employees!

The food budget was calculated by taking into consideration the number of employees currently working at the Googleplex, the workforce hired by other US offices, the amount of money paid for each Googler’s food per day and the number of days during which the Mountain View company is open to the employees. The equation revealed a total of $72,288,00 per year!

“Google is open 251 days a year. So let’s say that Google is providing about 600 meals per year, per employee. By its own count, Google has about 8,000 workers at the Googleplex in Mountain View, and another 700 at the office on Ninth Ave. in New York City. Buying DoubleClick netted Google 900 more U.S. employees (after laying off 300). So that’s a total of about 9,600 employees in Mountain View, New York, and from DoubleClick,” Vasanth Sridharan of Silicon Alley Insider wrote.

“Prentiss Hall, a helpful exec at Aramark Business Dining Services, thinks Google could be spending closer to $30 a day, based on the quality and level of service the company provides. So we multiplied the $30/day by the 9,600 employees in Mountain View and New York by the 251 days Google is open every year,”

Google keeps up the good work and today released another revolutionary technology, codenamed gDay, which may bring a different perspective of searching the web. First of all, gDay* is powered by MATE (Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation), which is quite an amazing aspect considering the fact that it now works in collaboration with Google’s search engine. Since I’m sure that the term MATE doesn’t ring any bells to you, gDay is actually a web service able to allow you to search today the webpages published tomorrow! If you still can’t believe it, here’s Google explanation for gDay:

“Google spiders crawl publicly available web information and our index of historic, cached web content. Using a mashup of numerous factors such as recurrence plots, fuzzy measure analysis, online betting odds and the weather forecast from the iGoogle weather gadget, we can create a sophisticated model of what the internet will look like 24 hours from now,” it is mentioned on the official website of the new solution.

What’s interesting is that gDay uses a different type of PageRank, namely SageRank, which is actually a ’statistical extrapolation of a page’s future PageRank’, as Google mentioned on the website.

People are pretty amazed by the new release, most of them finding the search solution revolutionary and extremely useful for their real life. Here’s a testimonial published on the gDay official website: “Wow, I just put a grand on number 7 in the 4th at Flemington tomorrow and bought my girlfriend a gift with the money I’m going to collect tomorrow. Thanks Google! This is awesome. I can now check the questions ahead of time and impress my girlfriend by knowing all the answers to Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader?” another user wrote.
