150 years of MIT

Posted: 14 May 2011 02:05 PM PDT

2011 marks the 150th anniversary of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, founded to speed along America's industrial progress through scientific innovation. MIT has been at the forefront of computer science with key advancements in the field, like the invention of core memory, the first file sharing system and RSA, the algorithm for public key encryption. MIT and Google share many of the same goals and philosophies, and as part of MIT's 150th anniversary celebration, we wanted to take stock of the many ways we've been working together.

More than 500 MIT graduates work at Google, in Boston and beyond—on Android, Chrome, crisis relief efforts and more. At our Cambridge, Mass., office—just down the road from MIT's campus—and at the newly acquired ITA office, you can spot many MIT alumni Googlers proudly sporting red and gray in celebration of the milestone anniversary.

We love our Googler MIT grads, but our partnership with the university goes beyond an alumni relationship: we also support the university's mission of discovery and innovation in the sciences. Recently, we gave a focused research award to CSAIL to further research in computer science and artificial intelligence. We also partnered with researchers at the MIT Media Lab on Konbit, a service that helps communities rebuild themselves after a crisis. In the same lines, we're sponsoring MIT Next Lab, a group that researches and develops ways in which people can use mobile platforms to solve global and economic issues. And finally, as part of their 150th anniversary celebration, MIT announced a major Intelligence Initiative (I²) that we're helping to support. Beyond the pure scientific goals, it's hoped that this research will lead to practical applications in the form of more intelligent systems and software that will benefit society broadly

In addition, we have close relationships with some of MIT's faculty, like Hal Abelson, Professor of Computer Science and a member of Google's Visiting Faculty program, who has used our technology to conduct education outreach. He started the Young Android Project in 2007 and helped design App Inventor, which launched in 2010. Hal also teaches classes to non-engineers about building Android apps.

This summer we're looking forward to welcoming high school students into our Boston office through the MIT MITES program to introduce a whole new crop of future scientists to the joys of science and engineering. Plus, 50 MIT students will join Google as interns this summer alone.

Although MIT was established more than 100 years before the Internet was invented, the institution has continued to remain a world leader in technological research, development and advancement. We're excited to celebrate the university on its anniversary, and look forward to a continued and strong relationship for the next century to come.

Facebook announces "Facebook for EveryPhone" a low-cost app for feature phones

With all the fuss over Androids and iPhones, it’s easy to forget that there are lots of people out there who are using comparably unsophisticated phones.

Facebook, however, is taking notice with its latest app. Via Facebook for Every Phone, owners of over 2,500 different feature phones (or “dumbphones” as they are often called) can have access to the whole Facebook platform.

This includes basic functionality like the news feed and photos, as well as access to users’ inbox.
(The app also allows users to upload photos, though its unlikely that those photos are going to be particularly good.) So far Facebook for Every Phone is built to run on only Java phones but Facebook says it aims to support many more devices in the future.

But what about data fees? Facebook has that covered as well. Via deals with phone carriers, Facebook is offering free data access to the app for 90 days. Here’s the list, which is notably devoid of U.S. companies. That should be a pretty good indication of Facebook’s target demographic.

Airtel (India)
Banglalink (Bangladesh)
Beeline (Russia)
Celcom (Malaysia)
Etisalat (Egypt, Nigeria)
Globe (Philippines)
Idea (India)
Indosat (Indonesia)
O2 Telefonica (Germany)
Reliance (India)
Smart (Philippines)
Smartfren (Indonesia)
Telkomsel (Indonesia)
Three (Indonesia, United Kingdom)
TIM (Brazil)
TMN (Portugal)
Ufone (Pakistan)
Vodafone (Turkey)
XL (Indonesia)
