Think your computer is pretty fast? Think again. Compared with the newest quantum computer from D-Wave Systems of Burnaby, British Columbia, even the world's most powerful supercomputers are ...

After studying most of its servers for more than two years, Google finds memory failures are much more common than expected, and debunks some other myths, too. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from ...

Helene Martin is a “geek who gives back,” and Ian Whalley shapes some of Google’s most-used applications through computational thinking. Both will be featured speakers at the third annual Explorations ...

Google wants to hire more people with skills in computer science, data science and machine learning, and the company is turning to higher education for help fill the pipeline. A pilot program for ...
