On the Google Earth team, we're big fans of Earth Day, so much
so that we couldn't hold out until it arrives next week to
release our latest labor of love: href="http://earth.google.com/" id="v0rt"
>Google Earth 4.3. With this version,
we have completely rethought how you might interact with the 3D
world. We've redesigned the navigation to make it much easier
to fly from the heavens down to the streets of your town. And with
all of the great user-created buildings in the href="http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=bd89a6376cd5d61bc8513927f8b58de3&ct=hpr1"
id="ge4z" >3D Warehouse, we wanted to make
it easy for you to get right up close to see the rich detail.

We live in a world focused on celebrity, but there are also
luminaries — those guiding lights who actually inspire celebrities
along with the rest of us. Today there's a luminary we'd
like to call out: href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Lehrer" id="p_iz" >Tom
Lehrer. It hasn't escaped our attention that Mr. Lehrer
turned 80 last week. (We have it on good authority that his view of
numbers is such that 80 is not so different than 79, so he probably
won't mind this belated note.) We think he's great.
We're fans.

Mr. Lehrer is the Harvard mathematician turned parodist
songwriter-performer whose sense of humor, intelligence and rhythm
created a cult following that, weirdly enough, anticipated a lot of
what Google's culture tries to be about. His work is clever,
playful and fun and connects things in ways that surprises,
delights and inspires. (Consider href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNfx0FO4hzs"
id="zs_0" >"The Element Song", his ode to the periodic
table, or his lesson on href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a81YvrV7Vv8"
id="zp:h" >"New Math".) How could we not be inspired
by someone who can craft a good laugh, a great tune, and an elegant
equation?

From href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TytGOeiW0aE"
id="h9_z" >"The Masochism Tango" to

href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FgMTAj4f_o"
id="djxr" >"Who's Next" to

href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz-DHBiYnrc"
id="cjub" >"Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" (trust us,
you have to hear it), Mr. Lehrer's unique music carved out a
distinctive place in popular music in the 1950s and '60s. He
made his fans feel smart. An entrepreneur — and we like
entrepreneurs — he self-produced and sold his songs via mail
order. And for all the edginess in his humor, he ended up writing
some ten clever songs for the '70s public television
children's program The Electric Company, including
a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6gjvAYDZ6M" id="wdnx" >tune
about the letter 'e.'

Although Wikipedia notes that he performed only 109 shows and wrote
just 37 songs over 20 years, we think his impact and influence goes
well beyond those numbers. He was the best kind of "geek"
before the word made its way into pop culture. He's the kind of
character as comfortable teaching a university course on the
history of the musical — which he did — as running a seminar on
the nature of mathematics — which he did.

We hope that in retirement Mr. Lehrer is enjoying himself even a
fraction as much as we've enjoyed his work. We're grateful
that he's such a great example of how science, humor, music and
mathematics can be combined to create such wonderful things.

The Chinese stock market has caught people's attention in
recent years. People all over the country started investing, and
[stock information] has become one of the most popular search
keywords in China. After adding Shanghai/Shenzhen market data into
Google Finance and launching the Chinese finance onebox last year,
we are excited to announce the launch of href="http://finance.google.cn/"
id="tfv8" >Google Finance China. Now it's easier to get
Chinese stock and mutual fund data through our easy-to-use and
familiar interface in Chinese.

This was a joint effort across continents with engineers from New
York and Shanghai. We hope Google Finance China will become a
practical tool for Chinese investors to get up-to-date and
comprehensive financial information. The site includes popular
features such as Google Suggest for stock codes, whether you enter
the stock code or name in Chinese or pinyin, and a display of
financial information from Chinese sources on the stock price
chart.

At the same time we have launched a newly redesigned home page for
all our Google Finance sites ( href="http://finance.google.com/" id="wg.n" >U.S., href="http://finance.google.ca/"
id="o5hb" >Canada, href="http://finance.google.co.uk/" id="wy0m" >U.K., href="http://finance.google.cn/"
id="dw2y" >China). It's now easier to follow the latest news
affecting the market as well as those that are relevant to your
portfolio. We hope you enjoy this new look. The simultaneous launch
of the new homepage across countries is just one of the new
features and updates to come.

As usual, we encourage you to provide us with your ideas and
comments through the href="http://www.google.com/support/finance/" >Help Center. Your
feedback is very important for us to continuously improve Google
Finance.

This week Israel observed href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Hashoah" id="u3.v" >Yom
HaShoah, the Holocaust Remembrance Day, a holiday inaugurated
in 1959 to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. This is an
especially important day to id="omu9" >Yad Vashem, the Jerusalem-based
center for remembering the Holocaust's victims and survivors. I
was fortunate to tour Yad Vashem's href="http://www1.yadvashem.org/new_museum/overview.html" id="gc22"
>New Museum with my family last summer, and
was moved and inspired by the experience. Our guide told us an
anecdote about a visitor, a survivor of the camps, who recognized
an item in one exhibit and was able to explain its context to
museum curators and fellow visitors. This is why Yad Vashem is so
important: it's a place that preserves the horrible history of
the Holocaust and puts it in context for all of us.

But a lot of people, including many survivors, aren't able to
visit Yad Vashem. How can they discover and share stories? How can
they see an artifact or a photo and say, I recognize that item or
person because I was there? The answer, of course, is the
Internet.

We're proud to report that Yad Vashem has just launched two new
YouTube channels, href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.youtube.com/user/YadVashem"
id="gh7u23" >one in English, the href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.youtube.com/user/yadvashemarabic"
id="gh7u24" >other in Arabic. They feature
testimonies from Holocaust survivors, historians' lectures on
key issues related to the Holocaust, and footage of events big and
small ( id="o1kw" >Pope John Paul
II's visit in 2000, a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucu94QAi4dA" id="f3-o"
>touching family reunion). More
importantly, they are a way for Yad Vashem to surpass its physical
boundaries and reach out to an audience worldwide. This is the
promise the Internet holds: to inform and connect the globe, to
remember stories, to teach us. As href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elie_Wiesel" id="gh7u17"
>Elie Wiesel said in href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=D_kuKXRLEnY"
id="gh7u18" >his speech at the opening of the
museum: "If we decided to tell the tale, it is because we
wanted the world to be a better world, just a better world, and
learn and remember."

Thanks to Eleanor Roosevelt, who in the 1950s persuaded Congress to
recognize the importance of teachers with a celebratory day, today
is set aside in the U.S. to honor our educators and acknowledge the
contributions they make. I know that I speak for everyone at Google
when I say that none of us would be where we are today without our
teachers. On >National Teacher Day, we salute you, the
dedicated men and women who taught us much of what we know.

And we invite you to join us, too, at the next installment of the
>Google Teacher Academy at the Googleplex in
Mountain View, California on June 25th. Back by popular demand, the
GTA is an intensive one-day professional development event designed
to help K-12 teachers get immersed in innovative technologies.
Teachers near and far are invited to apply to spend the day with us
getting your hands on tools like Google Earth, Google Docs and the
entire Google Apps suite. Come, sit in classes, learn some new
stuff, and rub elbows with some of your most creative
contemporaries who, like you, are changing the world one student
and one classroom at a time.

Today, >Google for Educators is also pleased to
announce the launch of the new href="http://www.google.com/educators/geoeducation"
>Geo Education website, where you'll find
oodles of information about Google Earth, Maps, Sky and SketchUp.
In addition to spotlighting inspiring lessons from some pioneering
teachers, we are also sharing quick tips and ideas for easy ways
get started using geo tools in your classroom. Among other things,
you'll learn how to take flyover tours of peaks, valleys and
gorges, how to view constellations - even in the daytime - and how
to make a 3D model of your very own school.

And last but not least, awhile back, we asked teachers to share
stories about using Google Docs in the classroom. You href="http://www.google.com/educators/p_docs.html"
>told us about your students' collaborative
writing projects, about class presentations where kids were engaged
in dialog using the "chat" box throughout, and you
mentioned being able to be involved in the creative process early
on, instead of only seeing the final product. While we were
reading, we realized that Docs can be somewhat intimidating to the
uninitiated, so we created a href="http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dcdn7mjg_72nh25vq" >getting
started document specifically educators — with tips for
signing up, logging in, and working your way through a document –
both in-class and outside.

So happy Teacher Day! We hope you have an enjoyable day during
which you get a hundred shiny apples and maybe even a hug from a
kid who knows how much you do every day. And we hope to see you at
the Googleplex in June, too.

you may have read, Google, Comcast, Intel Capital, Time Warner
Cable, Bright House Networks and Trilogy Equity Partners have
entered into an agreement to invest $3.2 billion in a new wireless
broadband company. The new company will combine Clearwire's
existing consumer WiMAX business with Sprint's broadband
infrastructure and 2.5 GHz spectrum to create a new nationwide
wireless broadband network. In addition to our $500 million
contribution as part of the investment group, we will provide
search and applications to the network's users, and will work
with Clearwire to offer additional services and applications. This
will include jointly creating an open Internet protocol to work
with mobile broadband devices (including href="http://code.google.com/android/" id="e_d:"
>Android-powered devices) and implementing other
open network practices and policies.

We believe that the new network will provide wireless consumers
with real choices for the software applications, content and
handsets that they desire. Such freedom will mirror the openness
principles underlying the Internet and enable users to get the most
out of their wireless broadband experience. As we've supported
open standards for spectrum and wireless handsets, we're
especially excited that Clearwire intends to build and maintain a
network that will embrace important openness features. In
particular, the network will: (1) expand advanced high speed
wireless Internet access in the U.S., (2) allow consumers to
utilize any lawful applications, content and devices without
blocking, degrading or impairing Internet traffic and (3) engage in
reasonable and competitively-neutral network management.

We're looking forward to seeing the Clearwire network take
shape and begin to deliver benefits to users, and we will continue
to look for new partners to promote openness and bring compelling
applications and services to end users. There's more
information on Clearwire and the transaction on href="http://www.clearwire.com/transaction/" >Clearwire's
site.

Protecting employees from Internet threats is tough enough when
they're at work, much less when they're on the road.
Off-network users are particularly vulnerable to web threats
because they must remember to connect via VPN for protection when
they're away from the office.

Today we're making Internet security easier for people,
wherever they may be working. Google Web Security for Enterprise,
powered by Postini, provides real-time malware protection and URL
filtering with policy enforcement and reporting. An additional
feature extends the same protections to users working remotely on
laptops in hotels, cafes, and even guest networks without requiring
any action on their part.
