Most of us depend on Gmail for our mailing needs both in professional and personal lives. We use Gmail so extensively that we assume we know everything about Gmail. Surprisingly, Gmail has a lot of features that might surprise you when you come to know they exist. Here are a few interesting Gmail features that can change the way you use this mailing platform.<br /><br /><strong>The dots you see in any Gmail address never matter</strong><br /><br />You can mail <a href="mailto:JoeMartin@gmail.com">JoeMartin@gmail.com</a> by altering the address as <a href="mailto:Joe.Martin@gmail.com">Joe.Martin@gmail.com</a> or <a href="mailto:J.o.e.M.a.r.t.i.n@gmail.com">J.o.e.M.a.r.t.i.n@gmail.com</a> and they will all be delivered to the same mailing address. The reason behind this is that the periods in the Gmail address never matter.<br /><br /><strong>You can use the snooze button on your Gmail interestingly</strong><br /><br />With the help of the free Gmail app Boomerang, it is possible to open an email and set it to be delivered to your inbox in a particular amount of time. To make use of this function, open Boomerang and set the conversation to be delivered in the time you want. <br /><br /><strong>You can find out who has spread your Gmail address</strong><br /><br />When you add a ‘+’ sign to your Gmail address and then any words in your Google account, it will still work. For instance, if you had to subscribe to a shopping site and you wish to do this with your email id, you can use your email id as <a href="mailto:JoeMartin+shopping@gmail.com">JoeMartin+shopping@gmail.com</a>. When you use this for signing up to a given site and if the site uses this mail id to send you emails, you will still get your emails in your regular inbox. The difference in the email address will however help you filter the mails on the basis of from where you have received them. In addition, when you get a mail from anew site bearing the different email id (JoeMartin+shopping @gmail.com), you will get to know who gave out your email id to third parties. <br /><br /><strong>It is possible to get desktop notifications for Gmail</strong><br /><br />If you check email frequently for some reason, you can set the Gmail to send pop up notifications on the bottom corner of your desktop screen as and when a mail lands on your inbox. You can set the notification for all mails or for mails that are labelled as ‘important’. In your inbox, click on the gear icon. Go to settings and scroll down to enable Desktop Notifications. <br /><br /><strong>It is possible to delete the full contents of your inbox</strong><br /><br />If you wish to clean up your inbox fully, you can do so using a particular feature of the Gmail. It is very easy to erase all the emails at once. In your inbox, you can see the number of email messages you are viewing on the screen. For example, it might read as 1-50 of 20,367. Click on this to ‘Show more messages’. From here, click on the checkbox you will find on top of the left side and choose ‘Select All’ option. At this point, Gmail will ask you if you really want to select all the messages in your inbox. Once you have thus selected all the messages in your Gmail account, click on the trashcan for deleting all the messages and it is done. <br />

This means that Huawei won’t have any access to Android Q until its released to the public and its future phones won’t be able to install the Google Play Store.<br /><br /><strong><em>Why you should care:<br /></em></strong>Without the Google Play Store on Huawei phones, you won’t be able to download YouTube, Gmail and Google Maps — a map you probably use on a daily basis to get you home. Apparently, the Chinese company saw this coming and has been working on its own software. But, as of now, its only available on a few products in China.<br /><strong><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/google-amazon-facebook-tiktok-flipkart-wait-for-election-results-in-india/articleshow/69408831.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">2.

They’re coming (hoping) that the new government will be able to clear the doubts surrounding new data localisation and e-commerce regulations. <br /><br /><strong><em>Why you should care:<br /></em></strong>E-commerce companies like Amazon and <keyword id="6354742" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Flipkart">Flipkart</keyword> are hoping to bring <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/the-indian-government-just-dealt-a-serious-surprise-to-amazon-and-flipkart-heres-what-that-means-for-online-shoppers/articleshow/67272151.cms">deep-discounting</a> back. With a new government, they expect less lobbying and pressure from the offline bodies that form a massive vote bank. <br /><br />And, WhatsApp Pay might finally be able to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/whatsapp-is-trying-to-make-payment-services-available-to-all-its-users-in-india/articleshow/66917241.cms">go beyond</a> its ‘beta’ release once it receives some clarification around the new data regulation policies imposed by the country's central bank.<br /><strong><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/amazon-vs-flipkart-house-of-flagships-for-new-smartphones-in-india/articleshow/69408528.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">3.

The company issued a statement saying that it is asking the vendors to take down the products. Over the weekend, 33 products silently disappeared from the e-commerce site. <br /><br /><strong><em>Why you should care:<br /></em></strong>Amazon may not have directly put the items on sale — pushing the responsibility onto third party vendors. But, this isn’t the first time that such an incident has occurred on the e-commerce platform. So, it calls into question the guidelines and regulations that Amazon has in place to counter such behaviour.<br /><br /><strong>5. <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/lok-sabha/political-ad-spend-on-facebook-google-tops-rs-53-cr/articleshow/69397065.cms">Political ad spend on Facebook, Google tops ₹530 million</a><br /></strong>Between the months of February to May, <keyword id="7611014" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="political-ad-spend">political ad spend</keyword> across Google and Facebook ballooned to ₹530 million in campaigning for the Lok Sabha election 2019 — most of which was dominated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). <br /><br /><strong><em>Why you should care:<br /></em></strong>It shows how the political environment in India is getting more competitive and more radicalised. It also exhibits how the paradigm is shifting towards online campaigns being just as important as the offline ones — making the filtration of fake and misinformation all the more important.<br /><br /><br /><strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tiktok-downloads-top-facebook-in-china-and-india/articleshow/69334254.cms">6.

And Samsung's recent missteps in the rollout of its cutting-edge foldable phone, which was delayed because of quality problems, have added further uncertainty to Samsung's reign.</p><p>But the Trump administration's decision to put Huawei <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-national-emergency-china-huawei-2019-5?r=US&amp;IR=T">on a US trade blacklist</a> could be just the helping hand Samsung needs to retain its status as the world's unrivaled smartphone superpower. </p><p>The blacklist has forced tech companies like Google and Intel to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/all-the-companies-that-have-cut-ties-with-huawei-2019-5">suspend business</a> with Huawei. That means Huawei's future phones <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-severed-ties-with-huawei-what-that-means-for-you-2019-5">will not be able to run on Google's Android</a> operating system, the most popular mobile software in the world.</p><p>While Huawei says it has built its own home-made smartphone operating system that will be ready by next year, there's no guarantee that consumers will buy Huawei phones if they have a new, unknown operating system, especially if that means the phones don't have system-level access to popular Google services like Gmail and Google Maps. </p><p>That's potentially good news for Samsung, which has been steadily losing market share to Huawei. In the first three months of 2019, Samsung accounted for 23.1% of the worldwide smartphone market, representing an 8.1% decrease from the year-ago period, according to <a href="https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS45042319">the International Data Corporation.</a> Huawei's position jumped 50% year-over-year, to claim a 19% share of the market in Q1.</p><p>Besides Huawei, no other smartphone maker comes close to Samsung in terms of the global market share. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/apple">Apple</a> trailed in third place with 11.7% of the market in Q1, whereas China-based smartphone maker Xiaomi ranked in fourth with 8% of the market.</p><p>If Huawei does see a dip in smartphone sales as a result of these new US government requirements, rivals like Apple and Xiaomi would still have a lot of catching up to do in order to endanger Samsung's spot at the top.</p><h2>An Apple backlash in China</h2><p>That's not to say it's impossible and that Samsung's position at the top is guaranteed. The smartphone market often fluctuates between quarters based on a variety of factors, with Apple and Huawei usually switching back and forth to place in second behind Samsung. In <a href="https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS44826119">the fourth quarter of 2018</a>, for example, Apple held 18.2% of the worldwide smartphone market, coming dangerously close to Samsung's 18.7% lead. Huawei placed in third with 16.1% of the market - although its share grew by 43.9% year-over-year while both Apple's and Samsung's declined.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Henry Nicholls/Reuters</span></p><p class="caption">Samsung Galaxy S10</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>But some analysts believe that the backlash against Huawei in the US <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/huawei-ban-in-us-could-backfire-on-apple-2019-5">could potentially hurt Apple's business in</a> China. A team of analysts at UBS recently circulated a note citing the treatment of Huawei in the US as a potential risk to Apple, writing that nationalist sentiment has been known to sometimes impact foreign goods in China. People in China also recently called for a boycott of Apple's products following the Trump administration's decision to put Huawei on a trade blacklist, according to <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosalindadams/us-china-trade-war-apple-huawei">BuzzFeed News.</a></p><p>To be sure, Samsung's smartphones do not have a strong presence in China, according to data from <a href="https://www.counterpointresearch.com/china-smartphone-share/">Counterpoint Research,</a> which doesn't even break out the Seoul-based tech giant in its ranking of the top smartphone vendors in the region.</p><p>But China is an important for Apple; it's the company's third largest market, and the iPhone accounted for 12% of China's smartphone market as of the fourth quarter of 2018 according to Counterpoint Research. If there is a boycott against Apple products in China, it could make it more difficult for the company to broaden the iPhone's reach and catch up to Samsung's global market share.</p><h2>The Folding Phone debacle</h2><p>There's another key way Samsung could stand to benefit from Huawei's misfortunes when it comes to the smartphone space: foldable phones. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-galaxy-fold-review-2019-4">Samsung's Galaxy Fold</a> got off to a rocky start to say the least after small number of reviewers reported that the device's screen had broken, prompting Samsung to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-officially-delays-galaxy-fold-release-date-read-full-statement-2019-4">indefinitely delay the Fold's launch</a>. Samsung still hasn't spoken out about when the phone will be released.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Reuters</span></p><p class="caption">Huawei Mate X</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>But the new restrictions Huawei faces when working with US companies could give Samsung's Galaxy Fold a second chance.</p><p>Huawei unveiled its <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/huawei-mate-x-folding-phone-first-look-2019-2">Mate X foldable phone</a> just days after Samsung debuted the Fold in February, showcasing an impressively designed device with a crease that appeared to be less noticeable than the one found on Samsung's phone. Huawei hasn't announced when the phone will be released yet, making it unclear whether or not it will be able to run on Google's Android software. The US government has granted Huawei a 90-day reprieve that will allow it to maintain and support its products until August 19. But we don't know if the Mate X will launch before then, although a report from <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/2019/04/08/huawei-mate-x-listed-sales-june/">GizmoChina</a> suggested it could be released in June.</p><p>Losing Android would be a tough blow for Huawei, but it's especially damaging for a device as expensive as the Mate X, which will be priced at around $2,600 when it launches. For shoppers outside of China, not having Google's widely popular suite of services and its enormous app store could drastically lower the Mate X's value proposition should it not run on Google's software. There's also the concern as to whether or not the software on Huawei's Mate X will be as feature-rich and polished as foldable phones that run on Google's Android, considering the search giant has tailored the next version of Android to make it adaptable to foldable form factors.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Hollis Johnson/Business Insider</span></p><p class="caption">Samsung Galaxy Fold</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Of course, Huawei and Samsung are not the only companies working on foldable devices. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/xiaomi-mi-fold-foldable-phone-video-2019-3">Xiaomi</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/motorola-razr-foldable-phone-images-leaked-2019-4">Motorola</a> are developing foldable phones of their own, but neither of those products seem as far along as those made by Samsung and Huawei. That could leave Samsung with an opportunity to own the nascent foldable smartphone market for a considerable amount of time should it re-launch the Galaxy Fold in the near future.</p><p>It's too soon to know precisely what will happen to Huawei as a result of the US government's recent trade sanctions. The company has said it's been working on its own operating system to replace Android, and the company's chief executive Ren Zhengfei recently told the <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Trade-war/Huawei-does-not-need-US-chips-CEO-on-Trump-export-ban">Nikkei Asian Review</a> that he expects the company's growth to slow only a little bit. But even if Zhengfei proves to be correct and Huawei's growth only mildly slows, that's still bound to be good news for Samsung's reign over the global smartphone market.  </p>   <p class="tagline">Get the latest Google stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/GOOG-Quote"> here.</a></p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gamestop-video-games-gaming-survive-digital-future-2019-5">Now that Google and Nintendo offer digital video games, GameStop could have the same fate as Blockbuster</a></h3>        <div>                    </div>    </div>

However, investigators have not uncovered any evidence linking Collins to the actual leaks or that Collins shared or uploaded the information he obtained.</p><p>So the government says that Ryan Collins, who it claims will plead guilty, was the technical expert who used "phishing" emails to pretend to be Apple in order to gain the passwords of famous women, access their iCloud and Gmail accounts, and then delve through their phone backups in search of intimate photos.</p><p>But that's just one side of the secretive online community that resulted in the leaks that were dubbed both "The Fappening" and "Celebgate." As well as hacking experts who are able to retrieve images, there are also collectors, traders, and people who sell the images for Bitcoin.</p><p><a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/internet-marketplace-for-hacked-photos-of-naked-celebrities-2014-10">Business Insider went undercover as a buyer looking for naked celebrity photos in October 2014</a>. We contacted a dealer known as "Sets Ahoy" (a "set" is a collection of photos) and asked whether he was selling anything. Sure enough, he sent over his catalogue. For one bitcoin (then worth around £242) he offered us stolen photographs of the following celebrities:</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"><p class="source"><span>Business Insider</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Sets Ahoy was a photo trader, but it was unlikely that he was directly connected to the Celebgate leak. Instead, that leak was largely down to one person: "OriginalGuy." That's the name of a user (or a group of users) of the anonymous online porn forum AnonIB who began to leak hundreds of stolen photos in September 2014.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"><p class="source"><span>AnonIB</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>The photos were first posted on AnonIB but quickly spread to 4chan and the rest of the internet. It's still not clear exactly why OriginalGuy chose to post the files online, as they were still valuable to private collectors. But he shared hundreds of files in one night and then disappeared and hasn't been heard from since.</p><p>The Department of Justice may well have caught the man who originally obtained the images, but what's still unclear is how the photos ended up online. If there's no evidence that Collins uploaded the files, then that raises the question of whether he himself was hacked, or whether he worked as part of a team that still exists.</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/little-known-google-features-2016-3">5 awesome Google features you didn't know about</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="J5Y2U3bzoIG_b9FvwXC1b1SZa9sN8clG" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Both Apple and Google addressed the future of their respective software platforms over these last two weeks, and both made it clear that intelligence will be a major emphasis moving forward.&#xa0;</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Google has <a href="https://www.google.com/landing/now/">Google Now</a>, the service that helps Android users by making recommendations based on their data - anything it can pull from Gmail, like flight information, restaurant reservations, package tracking, movies, and more. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">At Google's developer conference I/O in late May, Google one-upped Now with a new product, called <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/google-machine-learning-miles-ahead-of-apple-2015-5">Google Now On Tap</a>. While Google Now was only accessible via apps like Search and Chrome, <a href="http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2015/05/now-on-tap.html">Now On Tap</a> is actually part of the Android platform. It can basically read anything on your phone's screen to give you more information about what you're looking at in that very instant - so if you're reading a text about a new restaurant, you'll immediately see information about that place, including the ability to make a reservation. It's Google's idea of a more proactive assistant. You have to see it to believe it.</span></p><div><div></div></div><p class="embed-spacer"><span class="s1" style="line-height: 1.5em;">Apple also <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-ios-9-update-release-features-photos-2015-6">emphasized</a> intelligence at the keynote for its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, announcing more smart features across both the desktop and mobile platforms. For instance, <a href="http://www.apple.com/osx/elcapitan-preview/">Mac owners</a> will be able to use Spotlight search with more natural language queries like, "Show me documents I wrote last June," and it can also suggest people to contact, places nearby, sports scores, and more, based on your searches.&#xa0;</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&#xa0;</span></p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Siri is also going to be more proactive thanks to <a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/ios9-preview/">iOS 9</a>,&#xa0;so your mobile devices will be able to learn your habits and activate certain apps at certain times. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">So, Siri can pull up your favorite workout music if you plug in your headphones around a certain time or place, for instance, or know to pull up your podcasts if you connect to your car. It can even find unknown phone numbers by looking through your mail and contacts.&#xa0;</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">It's not at the level of Now On Tap, but Siri in iOS 9 will be extremely useful for staying organized, searching, and discovering.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Both Apple and Google are emphasizing this kind of intelligence across all their apps, too. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/google-photos-privacy-2015-5">Google's new photos application</a>, which lets you store a lifetime's worth of photos and videos, can find certain pictures you're looking for without you needing to label every single photo. Google's artificial intelligence has <a href="https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6128838?p=face&amp;rd=1">face matching technology</a> and object recognition so it can "see" everything in your photos - so if you search "beach," or "dogs," it can pull those up for you immediately.</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&#xa0;</span></p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Apple, meanwhile, wants to use intelligence to branch out into others' applications, so it announced a big move on Monday: Apple will open up its search API so developers can get their apps in Spotlight search results. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">In other words, if you want to go on vacation, you can swipe left from the home screen to access Spotlight search, search a destination in Spotlight - maybe Hawaii, or Paris - and Siri can show you specific listings from Airbnb for those places, or point you to flight reservations via Kayak, as long as you've downloaded those apps. Or maybe you want to cook a dish using a new food you just bought, like goat cheese: Spotlight search can pull up recipes from that cooking app you downloaded awhile ago, or point you to the Wikipedia page.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Obviously, these kinds of intelligent services have broad implications for many businesses as well as our own lives, but of these two companies, only Apple is emphasizing anonymity and privacy.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>"We don't mine your email, your photos or your contacts in the cloud to learn things about you - we honestly just don't want to know," Craig Federighi, Apple's VP of software engineering, said Monday.&#xa0;</span><span class="s1" style="line-height: 1.5em;">"All of this is done on device and it stays on device, under your control. And if we do have to perform a lookup on your behalf for instance for traffic conditions for instance, it's anonymous, it's not associated with your Apple ID, it's not linked to other Apple services, and it's not shared with third parties. Why would you do that? You are in control."</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&#xa0;</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Google, on the other hand, wants to know everything about you, from your photos to your music to your apps.

Artificial intelligence is still a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-artificial-intelligence-2015-1">major sticking point</a> in the tech world, with many smart people like <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-compares-ai-to-nukes-2014-8">Elon Musk</a> and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/stephen-hawking-on-artificial-intelligence-2015-5">Stephen Hawking</a> concerned about its future, but in small doses like this, Apple and Google are showing it can be wonderful.</span></p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-ios-9-new-features-2015-6">The 12 best new features coming to the iPhone</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="5maTJrdTpgHbMWUI2q_PxsufXl1FPqkr" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

Apple and Google are finally making everything they touch supremely intelligent, and that has massive implications

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Google is the 800-pound Gorilla in search and online advertising, and about 90% of its revenue from ads.</p>
<p>But the company knows it can't be a one-trick pony forever.</p>
<p>"For many years they talked about how investments would be 70 percent in core search, 20 percent on things ancillary to search and 10 percent on moonshots," Ben Schachter, an analyst with <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/30/technology/google-earnings-revenue-squeezed-profit-misses-estimate.html?_r=0">Macquarie Securities told The New York Times</a>. "Now we're pretty far from that. What does that mean for the company?"</p>
<p>While the income potential of those "moonshots" is still unknown (Google Glass, Google Fiber, driverless cars), Google actually has been systematically carving a considerable niche for itself in the <keyword id="6356323" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Enterprise">enterprise</keyword> tech business.</p>
<p>Companies spend about $4 trillion on technology worldwide and billions of that are suddenly being spent on cloud computing. And that's where Google plays.</p>
<p>Technology Business Research analyst Jillian Mirandi estimated that this<a href="http://tbri.com/analyst-perspectives/analyst-commentary/pgView.cfm?commentary=2215"> was a $1.6 billion for Google in 2014</a>. That may be tiny compared the $66 billion in 2014, but $1 billion+ business still isn't exactly peanuts.</p>
<p>According to Amit Singh, president of Google's enterprise unit, Google At Work, Google actually has a long list of products for the enterprise. Notice that all of them compete with products from its rival Microsoft.</p>
<p>They are:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://www.google.com/work/search/products/gsa.html"><strong>Google Search for Work </strong></a>is also called the Google Search Appliance. Companies install can install the appliance, or use a Google search service to add search to their internal systems or websites. This was Google's first enterprise product.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.gmail.com/intl/en_us/mail/help/work.html"><strong>Gmail for Work </strong></a>is only offered as part the Google Apps suit, but it is one of the major reasons companies buy Apps and companies can customize it.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/driveforwork/"><strong>Drive for Work</strong></a> is Google's unlimited cloud storage product, that competes with Microsoft OneDrive as well as Box and Dropbox.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/docs/">Docs</a> is a word processor</strong>, also part of Google Apps, that's known for its collaboration features.</li>
<li><strong>Videoconferencing</strong> is available as a cloud service called <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/hangouts/">Hangouts</a> or as a device called <a href="https://www.google.com/chrome/business/solutions/for-meetings.html">Chromebox for Meetings</a>. This competes with Microsoft's Skype and Lync for meetings, as well as expensive room based systems like Cisco's Telepresence.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.google.com/work/mapsearth/"><strong>Google Maps for Work </strong></a> is a service that allows developers to embed maps and GPS software into their apps. For instance, maps is embedded in Android Auto, which is how a car like Tesla provides GPS directions, and used by MapMyFITNESS. Microsoft offers a competing mapping service from Bing Maps.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.google.com/chrome/business/browser/">Chrome for Work</a>,</strong> a version of Google's Chrome browser that IT professionals can easily manage for thousands of users.</li>
<li><strong>Chromebooks</strong> are cloud PCs that uss the ChromeOS operating system. <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome/business/devices/">Google has a Chromebooks for Work program</a>, which <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/10/chromebooks-for-work-more-manageable.html">includes options of interest to businesses</a>. This program even offers apps that let you run Windows on a Chromebook (in geek speak, that's a "virtual desktop infrastructure" or VDI.)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.android.com/it/preview/"><strong>Android for Work</strong></a>, which is a special version of Android with extra security and features for businesses. It also includes specific version of Android like Android Auto, for car infotainment systems. This competes with Microsoft and Apple, and others.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://cloud.google.com/">Google Cloud computing</a></strong>, "That's a big thing," Singh jokes. Cloud consists of Google App Engine for writing and hosting apps, Google Compute Engine, which lets you rent computers and upload your own apps, Cloud Storage, for storing stuff related to your apps. On top of that are a ton of other apps databases, containers (the latest craze in app development), big data analysis apps and the like. Google's cloud competes with Microsoft's Azure and Amazon's Web Services.</li>
</ol>
<p>Although Google won't reveal revenue for any of these products, or for its enterprise unit at all, it sent us the following statistics to show off some of the growth Google At Work had in 2014:</p>
<ul>
<li>More than 60% of the Fortune 500 are actively using a paid Google for Work product (e.g. Apps, Clouds, Maps, Search, etc.)</li>
<li>Internally, Google hit its goal of 95% customer satisfaction (CSAT) for Google Apps customers, an improvement from 80% two years ago years ago and across all Google for Work products, the CSAT score is more than 90%.</li>
<li>Google Apps has ore than 5 million businesses customers.</li>
<li>More than 1,800 customers are signing up for Drive for Work each week</li>
<li>More than 40 million students, teachers and administrators use Google Apps for Education.</li>
<li>Google is winning cloud customers away from AWS, such as Atomic Fiction, dotCloud, and Just Develop IT (JDI).</li>
<li>Between all the apps hosted on App Engine, it serves 28 billion requests per day</li>
<li>Google's cloud database, Cloud Datastore, performs 6.3 trillion operations per month</li>
<li>At least 5 million Chromebooks were sold in 2014, accounting for about 1% of the PC market.</li>
</ul>
