Google CEO Eric Schmidt did one of his patented throat-clearers in as an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal today and it pretty much begs for translation.
Well, BoomTown shall not tarry from the task of decoding the extra-long rumination from the head of Google, who was responding to the recent spate of aggressive attacks by traditional media publishers.

Googles been taking a beating from the newspaper industry lately and Rupert Murdoch in particular. But the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal let Google CEO Eric Schmidt respond today in an Op-Ed piece which basically says Hey we know the Internet is killing your business but dont blame us.

- Eric Schmidt: Google Isn't Killing The Newspaper Business (feedburner.com)
Google is attempting to appease paid content providers with a couple of new updates to news search features.
First up, they've added restrictions to the First Click Free program. This has allowed publishers of paid content sites to let users gain access to an article without shelling out a dime.

If you want to learn more about how fast your site loads, then you'll want to check out a new feature from Google Webmaster Central. It's appropriately (and a bit vanilla-y) called Site Performance and right now it's an experimental feature.

But when it comes to TLDs such as .com and .net, it's not always clear. Google is adding country-specific information to the green URL line in the search results. Here's an example per the Google Webmaster Central blog:
You can tell Google what country your web site...

As I reported a few weeks back, News Corp. Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch said his company was considering blocking Google from being able to search its Web sites. I used my tabloid headline generator to create "Murdoch to Google: Drop Dead."
Today, the Google News Blog announced "Same Protocol, More Options for News Publishers." If we run this through my tabloid translator, I think we'd get the following headline: "Google to Murdoch: Here...

Remember the tests Google has been running on their homepage lately? Well, now they're officially rolling out the new version.
What they've decided to go with is the fade-in version. When you get access to the updated homepage (which is rolling out over a few days), you'll just see the Google logo, the search box, and the submit buttons.

When you browse the web, you type in the domain name of the URL you wish to visit. But behind every URL is an IP address - and it takes a bit of computing to get you where you want to go.

This can take several steps of resolution, which is all done behind the scenes.
