The Google Guys: Inside The Brilliant Minds Of Google Founders Larry Page And Sergey Brin skips past the general Google story and focuses on what really drives the company's founders. Larry is the main strategist, with business acumen and practical drive, while Sergey is the primary technologist and idealist, with brilliant ideas and strong moral positions. But they work closely together, almost like complementary halves of a single brain.

Richard L. Brandt is an award-winning journalist who has written about Silicon Valley for two decades, including fourteen years as a technology correspondent for BusinessWeek. He is also a consultant to entrepreneurial companies and the author of the blog Entrepreneur Watch. He shows the company as the brainchild of two brilliant individuals and looks at Google's business decisions in light of its founders' ambition and beliefs. Through interviews with current and former employees, competitors, partners, and senior Google management, plus conversations with the founders themselves, Brandt demystifies the company while clarifying a number of misconceptions.

Google search: Tip to search better on Google

Search on google is pretty simple: just type whatever comes to your mind & hit Enter or click on the Google Search button and you more than often find exactly what you were looking for. However the following tips can help you refine your technique to make the most of your searches:

1. Put quotes around phrases that must be searched together. If you put quotes around "electric curtains," Google won't waste your time finding one set of Web pages containing the word "electric" and another set containing the word "curtains."

2. Similarly, put a hyphen right before any word you want screened out. If you're looking up dolphins, for example, you'll have to wade through a million Miami Dolphins pages unless you search for "dolphins - Miami ."

3. Google is a calculator. Type in an equation ("32+2345*3- 234=").

4. Google is a package tracker. Type a FedEx or UPS package number (just the digits); when you click Search, Google offers a link to its tracking information.

5. Google is a global White Pages and Yellow Pages. Search for "phonebook:home depot norwalk , ct," Google instantly produces the address and phone number of the Norwalk Home Depot. This works with names ("phonebook: robert jones las vegas , NV") as well as businesses. Don't put any space after "phonebook."

6. Google is an atlas. Type in an area code, like 212, to see a Mapquest map of the area.

7. Google is a units-of-measurement converter. Type "teaspoons in a gallon," for example, or "centimeters in a foot."

8. Google is a stock ticker. Type in AMZN or GOOG, for example, to see a link to the current Amazon or Google stock price, graphs, financial news and so on.

9. Google is Wal-Mart's computer. Type in a UPC bar code number, such as "12345250015, " to see the description of the product you've just "scanned in." (Thanks to the Google Blog, http://google. blogspace. com , for this tip and the next couple.)

10. Google is an aviation buff. Type in a flight number like "United 22" for a link to a map of that flight's progress in the air. Or type in the tail number you see on an airplane for the full registration form for that plane.

11. Google is the Department of Motor Vehicles. Type in a VIN (vehicle identification number, which is etched onto a plate, usually on the door frame, of every car), like "VJ3SE1157MT001832, " to find out the car's year, make and model.

12 . Google is a curreny convertor. Type USD to INR to get the current x-change rate.
