Google has announced that it has purchased one of the largest advertising networks in the mobile industry, Admob, for $750 million worth of Google shares. Google is set to purchase more companies over the next few months as it revs up its acquisition engine. SMART MOVE!

Google announced today that it is developing the Chrome OS, a lightweight operating system based on Linux and geared for people who do much of their computing on the Web.

A pedicab-like trike, mounted with an 8-foot-high camera has been rolling around the pedestrian walkways of the SDSU to collect panoramic images of the campus for Google Maps’ Street View feature, which gives users detailed, street-level views of map locations over the Internet.
The 250-pound vehicle, which resembles the pedicabs that carry tourists around Philadelphia and other cities, has the cyclist pumping the pedals up front, with the camera mounted on a tower in the back. On the rear is a red generator along with a large white chest that looks like it might dispense ice cream but actually contains the computer recording the digital images.
OK. And now Google ‘Peet the Pink Elephant’ … you get it 😉
