India-born Sundar Pichai is new CEO of Google

-
Google just announced a masive change into its business.

It's implementing a new structure in which Google will become a subsidiary of a new company called Alphabet. Larry Page, Google's co-founder and former CEO, will now take over as the CEO of Alphabet.
Sundar Pichai, Google's product kingpin who has been rising through the ranks over the past several years, is now the CEO of Google.
Based on what we've heard from a former Google employee, it sounds like Pichai is a natural fit for the job.

His name may not ring a bell, but chances are you know some of the products Google's new CEO, Sundar Pichai, has worked on, including the Chrome browser and Android mobile operating system.
Pichai, 43, was named new CEO of the Internet titan Monday, as Google unveiled a new corporate structure creating an umbrella company dubbed Alphabet.
Pichai will oversee the biggest company under that umbrella, which will still be called Google and will continue to include some of Google's best-known products, including its search engine, ads, maps, apps, YouTube and Android system.
Alphabet will be run by Google chief Larry Page, who showered praise upon Pichai, the current senior vice president of products.

"I feel very fortunate to have someone as talented as he is to run the slightly slimmed down Google and this frees up time for me to continue to scale our aspirations," Page said in a blog post.
He said he was impressed with Pichai's "progress and dedication to the company" and promised to continue to groom him, who has been at Google since 2004.
"I have been spending quite a bit of time with Sundar, helping him and the company in any way I can, and I will of course continue to do that."
In his current role, Pichai oversees product management, engineering and research for Google's products and platforms, according to Google's filing at the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Before that, he was SVP of Google Android, Chrome and Apps, working on consumer products "used by millions of people," the filing said.
Pichai was part of the team that launched the Chrome browser in 2008.
US media described him as soft-spoken, little-known, and a long-time right-hand man to mentor Page.
Originally from Tamil Nadu province in southeast India, Pichai received a Bachelor of Technology from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
He also has a Master of Science from Stanford University and a Master of Business Administration from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Page said Pichai is the man to steer the Google ship in the coming years, as it continues to innovate and expand its product base.
"Google itself is also making all sorts of new products, and I know Sundar will always be focused on innovation-continuing to stretch boundaries," he said.
"I know he deeply cares that we can continue to make big strides on our core mission to organize the world's information."

The History Behind The 2 Minute Maggi Noodles!!

The History of Julius Maggi MAGGI owes its name to founder Julius Maggi (1846 - 1912), entrepreneur and inventor of the first product to bear the brand - MAGGI Soup Seasoning. Born in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, Julius took over a hammer mill from his father in 1869. At the time the milling industry was in crisis so Julius decided to open up new areas of production. He got in touch with physician Fridolin Schuler who had a concept for improving the nutritional content of meals for the labouring classes by making packaged foods out of milled pulses or legumes. Together they began product development and after two years of experimentation, the first industrially produced leguminous flour was put on the Swiss market in 1884. When the expected market breakthrough failed to occur, Julius went back to the drawing board and created MAGGI ready-to-use soups in in 1886, then launched MAGGI flavouring later in the year. More and more new products followed between 1887 and 1889. Julius op

The following are   NASA's plan if an asteroid is heading to Earth  Step 1: A text message would be sent to a team of 12 scientists.  Step 2: The scientist immediately start tracing the asteroid's path  Step 3:  They measure the size of the object and predict the time of impact  Step 4: They confirm with authorities whether the impact is unavoidable.  Step 5: A public statement would then be issued. Photo by  Bryan Goff  on  Unsplash Then NASA and emergency agencies how best to protect the Earth. They have simulated this experiment many times and come up with a few defensive options. They include firing lasers into the asteroid. Crashing a spacecraft into an approaching asteroid is another possibility. As is detonating a bomb next to an incoming object. There is no risk at the moment though. NASA can't detect any asteroid currently heading towards us. No large object is likely to strike for at least several hundred years.
