My thoughts....
Firstly I was shocked by this kind of premium featured set by Google, as i always think Google as a free edition. Later I realized that there is free edition to and this is for the people who want a premium addition and Google want to make them as their customers. I think the plans offered below are high, I had a doubt whether you need to pay that much !!! My answer is no, because there are many full pledeged companies that are offering these features and they are better than this. So, for your personalized websites/blogs, you go for free edition and for professional custom search engines you go for other companies. The list is given below.

Custom Search Business Edition is available in a number of plans:

* Search less than 5,000 web pages: $100 per year
* Search less than 50,000 web pages: $500 per year
* Search less than 100,000 web pages: $850 per year
* Search less than 300,000 web pages: $2250 per year

Race-Track Memory

It’s the one of ten most emerging technologies as reviewed by hub of engineering world MIT. Stuart Parking fellow and manager of Magneto electronics group at IBM who had done research on the fundamental physics of magnetic materials and his research gave the present hard disks in every pc and laptop the thousands of storage capacity than it used to be before.

Parkin and his team now are in the process of developing a different kind of memory which could support heavy storage just as magnetic hard disks and speed of flash memory. In his words “Both the semiconductor and solid state devices will reach their size limits in terms of accessing bits and there should be some new means and which could be the one like ours which is 3 dimensional unlike the current memories.”


Their innovative technology has to do with U shaped magnetic nanowires arranged vertically as shown in the figure. There will be different magnetic polarities in the wires at different regions and the boundaries between the regions represent 1’s or 0’s depending on the polarities of the regions on the either side. Data can be moved when the current with single spin either +1/2 or –1/2 is passed through the wires. Read and write of data is performed at the bottom of the wires with small devices as shown through another wire perpendicular to the U shaped wire and the small device reads data from the nanowire.

How to hide the system tray icons ?

Windows displays icons for active and urgent notifications, and hides inactive ones. You can change the behavior for items present in the system tray. Sometimes, it annoys when there are too many system tray icons. They are also not needed to be shown always. Cleaning the system tray also provides more space on the task bar which can accommodate more number of windows.

Actually this feature is provided by much software by themselves but some don't provide this (e.g.: anti-viruses). They can also be forced to hide by this trick.

1. Right click on green colored start menu.
2. Select properties.
3. Navigate to taskbar (by default it is only active)
Then you can see a window similar to the one shown in the picture.
4. For every item, there are three options namely always hide, always show and hide when inactive.
5. Select the item for which you want to change the settings.
6. Click ok.

You are done, you can use this to keep an item to appear or hide permanently.
This is a very easy process to hide the system tray icons, through which you can get rid of annoying and useless icons. I assume that you know what the system tray icons are!

The new plug and surf drive can be taken anywhere and can be sued to surf the internet. The only problem with it is signals, the towers of the particular service providers have to send proper signals and if your drive can receive signals, you can use internet. The better the signals, the better the speed of your internet. The mobile based internet connections are slow and they will be disconnected easily.
