    Google Toolbar for Enterprise Admin Guide ● Introduction ● Technical Overview ● Downloading the Software ● Configuring the Group Policies ❍ Preferences ❍ Enterprise Integration ❍ Custom Buttons ❍ Popup Whitelist ● Defining Custom Buttons ● Pushing Out the Policy to User Registries ● Installing Google Toolbar on User Machines Introduction back to top This document contains information about setting up Google Toolbar for Enterprise. Google Toolbar is an end-user application that adds a search bar and other useful web tools to the Internet Explorer browser window. Google Toolbar for Enterprise makes it easy to provide enterprise users with the Google Toolbar and to create standards for its use. The document was written for Windows domain administrators. As an administrator, you can install and configure Google Toolbar for all users. By defining enterprise-wide policies for Google Toolbar, you can decide which buttons and features users can access. For example, you could remove the feature that saves search history, whitelist certain pages to exempt them from the popup blocker, or prevent users from sending votes to Google about their favorite web pages . You can configure policies before installing Google Toolbar for the users, or at any subsequent time. Google Toolbar also provides the ability to create custom buttons that display specified pages, direct searches to predefined systems, or display information from an RSS feed. Using Google Toolbar for Enterprise, you can define buttons for all users, using data from your own network or from the Internet. For example, you could create a custom button that directs a user's search to your Google Search Appliance or Google Mini to display a corporate web page or show important phone numbers from your intranet.

  • The Uatu System for Visualizing Networked Writing Activity
    The Uatu System for Visualizing Networked Writing Activity J. Holden Hill, Phillip Parli-Horne, Paul Gestwicki Brian McNely Computer Science Department English Department [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] Ball State University Computer Science Department Technical Report 2011-01 June 3, 2011 Abstract Over the course of an academic year, two students and a pair of faculty advisors have written software to visualize how participants collaborate on networked writing projects. Using Google Docs as a way to allow students to instantaneously interact with a document in real-time, this software captures data from Google’s cloud service and displays it in a pair of visualizations. We used agile methods of software development to devise a way to implement their ideas in an appealing way. This document contains detailed instructions on where the latest iteration of the software can be located. It also details the process of making the system operational on a new machine, stating how the software works and where it should be placed in the file system. The document also explains how one can use the system to visualize writing collaboration. Finally, many failed iterations of the software have led to meaningful reflections on software development practices. The document elaborates on the hardships of development, as well as provides insight on how this software may evolve toward richer experiences. 1Primary contact 1 1. Introduction The Uatu project is designed to visualize collaborations in a digital workspace. The name comes from the Marvel Comics character, Uatu the Watcher, who is tasked with watching over the universe; in the same way, this software watches over revisions of Google Documents and stores their information for later access.

This complaint concerns privacy and security risks associated with the provision of “Cloud Computing Services” by Google, Inc. to American consumers, businesses, and federal agencies of the United States government. Recent reports indicate that Google does not adequately safeguard the confidential information that it obtains. Given the previous opinions of the Federal Trade Commission regarding the obligation of service providers to ensure security, EPIC hereby petitions the Federal Trade Commission to open an investigation into Google’s Cloud Computing Services, to determine the adequacy of the privacy and security safeguards, to assess the representations made by the firm regarding these services, to determine whether the firm has engaged in unfair and/or deceptive trade practices, and to take any such measures as are necessary, including to enjoin Google from offering such services until safeguards are verifiably established. Such action by the Commission is necessary to ensure the safety and security of information submitted to Google by American consumers, American businesses, and American federal agencies. PARTIES 1. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (“EPIC”) is a public interest research organization incorporated in Washington, DC. EPIC’s activities include the review of government and private sector policies and practices to determine their impact on the privacy interests of the American public. Among its other activities, EPIC initiated the complaint to the FTC regarding Microsoft Passport in which the Commission subsequently required Microsoft to implement a comprehensive information security program for 1 Passport and similar services.1 EPIC also filed the complaint with the Commission regarding databroker ChoicePoint, Inc.

    Subscribing Via Google Reader to RSS Feeds & Classroom Blogs All of our classrooms at MJGDS have their own blog. Several grade levels are piloting individual student portfolios based on a blogging platform. • How do you keep up with all this information? • How do you filter and organize it? • How can you avoid having to go back to blogs to check if the owner has updated with a new post? The RSS feed comes to the rescue! According to Wikipedia RSS is defined as: “RSS (most commonly expanded as Really Simple Syndication) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based.” Licensed under Creative Commons Subscribe via RSS Google Reader to Classroom Blogs. Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano~ Langwitches Blog~ Globally Connected Learning Consultant Subscribing Via Google Reader to RSS Feeds & Classroom Blogs Start scanning websites you frequent for different variations of this RSS feed icon.

MATTHIAS HILD* The Google IPO IN THE SPRING OF 2004, GOOGLE WAS ONE OF THE MOST TALKED-ABOUT initial public offerings (IPOs) since Netscape's public offering in 1995.' Bullish investors believed Google could set off a string of successful IPOs and put an end to a four- year lull in technology offerings. 2 Executives at Google faced several questions in the following months, beginning with whether or not to sell shares to the public market.' If they made the decision to take the company public, what options did Google have for selling those shares? Was the traditional form of book-building through an investment bank necessarily the best course of action? As large invest- ment banks were courting Google's potentially enormous business, management had to evaluate the different options available for a company ready to move for- ward. Ultimately, Google chose to sell its stock through W.R.
