Without much ado. Let me get straight to the point. Gaurav ( BMSIT,GSA for those of you who don't know who he is :P) recently received a huge package. After tearing it apart, this is what we found!
Google swag! Woo-hoo!
Now lets have an impromptu contest. Its simple!
Name the items(Google merchandise) you can see (and the ones that are obscured). You can guess the rest of the swag apart from the ones directly staring at your face! Two lucky people get a head start for the next Google event! Don't forget to add in your name, semester and branch!
Do you want to know how g+ is better than other social media?
Do you like clicking weird photographs?
Do you want to redefine craziness?
Though our college doesn't have much extracurricular activities,albeit a handful of them. The college Google student club is finally putting up an event on the25th of September,2013 at 1:30 pm in the main block seminar hall. Its basically going to be a fun information session which talks about Google+. A brief introduction about it will be shown through an interactive presentation and also emphasis will be given on the various user-friendly features laden in it.
After the brief info session we'll be having a photography event. Yes, you heard it right! A photography event. We know that people especially college students love clicking and posing for pics.Well, here's your chance.Before I continue let me be clear that this is open to everybody. You don't need to be a pro or an amateur. You just need to click pictures. As simple as that! A series of tasks which involves taking photos in different poses is given during the event and the same has to be submitted to us before the stipulated time. Also beware, the teams posting indecent,obscene pictures will be eliminated on spot
Aah...finally coming to the the most important part of it. The winners get to take home Google swag! How cool is that? Google merchandise like t-shirts, pouches etc will be distributed shortly.
Bring out the craziness and madness within you. Be as creative and weird as possible.
Looking forward for an event filled with fun and frolic
On
September 3rd, 2013 Google without much fanfare announced the latest version of
its Android operating system. Android has a rich heritage of naming its
operating systems with desserts (or confectionery products) and has been
alphabetically followed ever since its inception.
Here
is the brief and accurate information on the different code
names of Android. Read more about the Android story here

The
latest one to be added is the world famous ubiquitous chocolate bars which
is produced by Nestle known as KitKat. Rumor has it
that Google and Nestle went on non-monetary agreement to strike a
deal and everything was done and dusted within a time span of one hour!
But there is a significant promotional element: 50 million
KitKat bars in 19 countries including India will have prominent Android
branding and offer buyers the chance to win a Nexus 7 tablet and Google Play
gift cards. All those wrappers started production two months ago in secret so
they would be ready for the promotion.
The
whole tech world was taken by storm as everybody expected the new OS to be
Key lime Pie, but then other sources say that due to the insufficient
popularity of KLP, another popular product was decided. Internal
sources also say that the programmers at the Goggle headquarters used
to take KitKat breaks at midnight which adds more credibility to
the name chosen.
In
fact Key Lime Pie was a decoy code name for the
next Android OS. It was a deliberate attempt and strategically
planned to confuse people. The naming of the new OS was such a clandestine and
hush-hush affair that even the Google employees actually fell for it.
According
to the Verge, it says "adding to the air of intrigue, Nestle is commemorating the
partnership with 500 specially-produced KitKats in the shape of the Android
logo that the company claims took "weeks" to create in "a secret
location in Europe."
We also have a video where KitKat mocks Apple with a 4.4
parody video
Meanwhile back in India, some IIT grads are making a
compelling case for Android head honcho, Mr. Sunder Pichai to name the next Android OS
as ladoo or lassi. Well it might sound amusing but then you never know,the world might take a liking towards Indian sweets.There are
also rumor mills churning around that Google might strike a deal with Haldiram’s
to come up with something similar to what Nestle is doing but I guess that will
never see the light of the day anytime soon.
