Yesterday Google has announced a very exciting blue dot feature for the mobile version of Google products search that will show that if the products is available in the stocks or not. According to many people this decision poses to be a threat to startup Milo whose main feature is to show the inventory in the products search both on the web and mobile devices as well. It has been found out that Milo instantly responded to this news of Google with a tweet that says “Google Product Search has availability for 5 retailers vs. Milo’s 49. Super cool web service, bro.”

The TechCrunch team asked for an additional response from Milo on which they sent a picture in which you can see many of the faces of people who were once part of Google’s original team and with that the Co-founder of Milo Jack Abraham said that they are not saying that they are a next Google but they are just adding a flavor of humor into this whole situation. The company also told that they are not afraid of Google because their lineup up of retailers is more than double as compared to the registered retailer stores of Google because at the time of launch Google has partnership with the best buys only like Sears, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, and West Elm while the list of merchants of Milo ranges very high by having best buys to the regional level department stores.

Yesterday Google released a new fantastic application from the Google Labs which is called the Google Reader Play and this application gives you a visual way of browsing through the most saved and shared content on Google Reader.

When you will launch this application you’ll be directed on the screen where all the contents are provided in the lower bar and with the help of your mouse you can click on any content (photo, video or other) to get more details of it on the main screen. A good thing about it is that Signing in is not mandatory for you and you can access it without sign in but for getting more enhanced features out of it you should sign in first.

After you sign in to this application it lets you to share the contents with others and also shows you the content first which your friends have shared on Google Reader. The concept is more than similar with StumbleVideo but a difference is that on Google reader you can have other content than only videos. From the development of Buzz recently and now Google reader it seems that Google is trying to get more advanced in the sharing business by encouraging more direct sharing.

A reaction of thrill comes when we talk about F1 Cars; today’s modern F1 Cars are a single seated cars, with an open cockpit, open wheels, rear wings and a substantial front. We are going to share some cool and interesting facts about Formula One Cars in to our interesting fact column….

• Do you know that 80,000 components are assembled together to make a F1 car? Even though these components are correctly assembled with 99.9% accuracy, it will still start with 80 things wrong.

• The deceleration and the retardation experience by the F1 driver when he pushes the brakes can be felt as if a normal car driver hits a brick wall at the speed of about 300 kilometer per hour.

• The F1 race cars can go from 0 to 160 kph speed and then back to 0 speeds in just 4 seconds.

• There are more than a kilometer length of a cable attached to as many as 100 of its actuators and sensors. Those are for monitoring and controlling various parts of the car.

• On an average the driver of the F1 reduces near about 4kgs of his body weight if he goes for just 1 race. This is because of the long time exposure of the high G forces as well as the temperatures.

• A F1 car is about 550kg in weight which is near about ½ of the total weight of a Mini.

• Aerodynamic design and the added down force is very much important. Just for an idea, take an example of a small plane; you know that it takes off at a speed slower than that of a F1 cars when it is on track.

• F1 race cars generally race at more than 300 kmph. If we do not have the aerodynamic down force, even the great racing cars which have sufficient power to produce the wheel spin will ultimately loss control at about 160 kmph.

• The down force has a tremendous power. Even in any street course race, it provides enough suction which basically can lift the manhole covers. Therefore, before the commencement of these type of race all manhole covers on the streets are welded from down in order to prevent from this mishap from happening.

• The refuelers which are used in F1 are able to supply 12 liters per second of fuel. Let assume that an average family car of 50 liter can fully filled in just 4 seconds. Actually they are using the refueling rigs which are now days used on the military helicopters of US.

• The top crew members of F1 can do refueling and change the tires both in just about 5 seconds. Amazing!!

• Every tire looses its weight during the race. It looses around 0.5 kg because of the wear.

These days the competition between the social marketing platforms is rising highly and each of them are bringing some more features to defeat the other. Facebook which is one of most common social networking place, is working very consistently in bringing new features into their platform and among the diversity of its features one thing was always felt to be missing and that is location service. Rumors have been circulating for very long time that facebook is bringing location service for their site and now on the NYT’s Bit blog this news has been shown that Facebook is going to bring the new location service in the April’s F8 conference.

Now one point to think is that, how will this application look like? May be it will be like twitter’s which is attaching location data to user’s status update or the company will go for some totally different way. It has also been heard that the company has tested some location services and the time is not very far when the new application will get its way into the Facebook’s applications list. One interesting thing about the news is that Facebook is not looking to beat any other location service provider like Foursquare or Gowalla but their main target is to beat Google who has provided the location service in Buzz.
