It's a car?, ... It's a motorcycle?, ... Nope, it's my new Specialized Turbo electric bike! Finally a great solution for urban transport.
Truly transformative.

C'est une auto? Une motocyclette? non, ma nouvelle bicyclette electrique Specialized Turbo. Une bicyclette electrique qui offre enfin une solution excitante au transport urbain.

"While profit has become something of a dirty word, it's important to remember that many corporations reinvest their profits in research and product development, which in turn tends to lead to job creation, further economic growth and, ultimately, more tax."

Google boss Eric Schmidt (pictured) has defended the company's UK tax affairs after heavy criticism this week: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22585891

Should Google pay more tax? Has "profit" become a dirty word?

What does it look like to ride a 15 foot tall bicycle through the streets of Los Angeles? Check out this amazing video. Mad props to the rider for barely clearing the highway underpass and for the dismount at the end of a pier (not to be missed – watch 'til the end).

I met Jared Cohen about four years ago in Baghdad as a member of a delegation engaging with Iraqis on whether and how technology could help them rebuild their society. Jared and I weren’t sure what we might encounter or accomplish in a country that had been a conflict zone for six years. The answer stared right back at us: everywhere we looked, we saw mobile devices.

Four years later, we’re about to release The New Digital Age, a book about the future of people, nations and business (available April 23 - you can already pre-order!). My belief is that the future — a world of virtually unlimited internet connectivity, speed and processing power — can be a very bright place. In the next decade, the number of people connected to the internet will rise from 2 billion to 7 billion. What will that mean for the world? What will it mean for the internet? And how will individuals, states andorganiz... more »

Happy Pi Day! When you're using Google's calculator, use the word "pi" in the search bar to do your calculation. Say that you're measuring a tree and you want to know the radius. If you know that the circumference of the tree is 12 feet, then you can calculate the radius by entering in the equation 12/(2*pi) into Google. On the calculator, you'll see the result is 1.9098593171 and that's the radius.

We're excited about today's launch of code.org. Built around the vision that every child deserves the opportunity to learn how to code, code.org is raising awareness around the need for students to learn programming skills and the opportunities available to them when they do. Google supports widespread access to CS education and we hope this new site helps bring more awareness about the importance of computing.

Dear patrick,

Thank you for donating to the Wikimedia Foundation. You are wonderful!

It's easy to ignore our fundraising banners, and I'm really glad you didn't. This is how Wikipedia pays its bills --- people like you giving us money, so we can keep the site freely available for everyone around the world.

People tell me they donate to Wikipedia because they find it useful, and they trust it because even though it's not perfect, they know it's written for them. Wikipedia isn't meant... more »

Daily Chart: Interactive Big Mac index. Our fun guide allows users to choose a base currency and track the burger-based exchange rates of multiple nations over time. The Big Mac index was invented by The Economist in 1986 as a lighthearted guide to whether currencies are at their “correct” level. It is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity (PPP), the notion that global exchange rates should eventually adjust to make the price of identical baskets of tradable goods the same in each country. Our basket contains just one thing, a Big Mac hamburger. View interactive chart via http://econ.st/Xo2pS0 #bigmacindex

We've made an approximately $200 million equity investment in the Spinning Spur Wind Project, a wind farm in west Texas that generates enough energy to power more than 60,000 average U.S. homes: http://goo.gl/ZbWpP

This project joins 10 other renewable energy investments we’ve made since 2010. In total, the renewable energy projects we’ve invested in are capable of generating 2 gigawatts of power. See a list of all our investments on our Green site: http://goo.gl/Rc31L and for a sense of what 2 gigawatts of power can do, see our infographic:
