Find local guides for the most popular places amongst surfers, business travelers, students, wine lovers, foodies, music lovers, LGBT, jetsetters, parents and many more. Google is buying the travel app startup JetPac for an undisclosed amount of money, JetPac announced on its website Monday.
"We look forward to working on exciting projects with our colleagues at Google," the announcement read. Jetpac added that it will be removing its apps from the App Store in the coming days, and will cease support for Apple on September 15.
JetPac ,which started in 2011, gained $2.4 million in funding in 2012 before launching in 2013. The app creates visual city guides by analyzing photos from social media to infer key information about the places they were taken. "We can spot lipstick, blue sky views, hipster mustaches and more, through advanced image processing on billions of photos," JetPac's website says. 



The process JetPac uses to analyze the photos is called neural network technology, The Guardian reported. The technology is a system of algorithms that can be trained to recognize different elements within photos. For example, the app can recognize things like makeup, accessories or facial hair in photos and determine the vibe of a restaurant or bar. JetPac can also crawl Facebook photos, using an algorithm to gauge where your friends had the most fun. The app has created more than 6,000 city guides so far using this advanced technology.

It is still not known what exactly Google will do with the acquisition, and if it will integrate the app's artificial intelligence technology into its image search and map services. Google previously acquired robotics-design company Boston Dynamics and artificial intelligence firm DeepMind, fueling chatter that it is seeking to grow its robotics and artificial intelligence capabilities.

Twitter Enter first time in Word's TOP 100 Brandz and Google($158.84 billion) Overtakes Apples No:1..!!

Google overtakes Apple as world's top brand: survey


U.S. search engine Google has overtaken rival technology titan Apple as the world’s top brand in terms of value, global market research agency Millward Brown said Wednesday.

Top 20 Fast Growth BrandZ

Google’s brand value shot up 40 percent in a year to $158.84 billion, Millward Brown said in its 2014 100 Top BrandZ report.


“Google has been extremely innovative this year with Google Glass, investments in artificial intelligence and a range of partnerships,” said Benoit Tranzer, the head of Millward Brown France.


Google Glass is Internet-linked eyewear for which the firm has joined hands with Luxottica, a frame giant behind Ray-Ban and other high-end brands, to sell the new product in the United States.


“All these activities send a very strong signal to consumers about the essence of Google,” Tranzer said.


Apple, which dominated the top position for three straight years, saw its brand value fall by 20% to $147.88 billion.



The top 10 of the 100 slots were dominated by U.S. firms. IBM was in third place at $107.54 billion, a fall of 4%, followed by Microsoft at $90.19 billion 29% rise.



Fast food chain McDonald’s ranked next at $85.71 billion, followed by Coca Cola ($80.68 billion), it said.


China led in the insurance sector with Ping An valued at $12.4 billion and China Life ($12 billion).

French luxury goods manufacturer Louis Vuitton ranked 30th overall but was the top luxury brand with a value of more than $25 billion.

Brand value is calculated on the basis of the firms’ financial performance and their standing among consumers.

Twitter and LinkedIn entered the Top 100 for the first time, at numbers 71 and 78, respectively. Amazon entered the Top 10 at number 10, the first retailer to achieve this distinction

Find Best Company for Internship based on Glassdoor Top 10 Rated Tech Companies....

The 10 Highest Rated Tech Companies for Internships

The social media company has the highest rated internships, according to Glassdoor. The jobs website, which offers reviews and commentary on workplaces all over the country, has compiled a list of the 25 companies that offer the best internship experiences, based on intern feedback. From Yahoo to Google to Apple, major tech companies managed to make it onto the list.

In addition to the data, Glassdoor also shared some of the questions potential interns were asked during the interview process:

    Facebook business operations intern interview: “You have a bag of N strings, and at random, you pull out an end. You pull out another end and you tie the two ends together. You take another two string ends and tie them together. You repeat this until there are no loose ends left to pull out of the bag. What is the expected number of loops?”

    Epic Systems intern interview: “An apple costs 40 cents, a grapefruit costs 80 cents and an orange costs 60 cents. Under these circumstances, how much does a pear cost?”

After answering these tough fastballs, these aspiring employees went on to enjoy their internships. We went through the list and boiled it down to the top 10 highest rated tech companies.

1. Facebook 

The social network is the number one overall company for hiring interns. It received a 4.6 out of 5 rating on Glassdoor.


“The culture is pretty awesome and has staying power," an anonymous software engineer intern told Glassdoor. "The intern program is amazing and everyone is actually happy that the interns are there.”

2. Google 

The mega search engine was at the top of the list in 2012 and 2013. Alas, Facebook just barely edged it out, also receiving a 4.6.


“Having the opportunity to take a look at all the wonderful stuff they've developed and taking part in the creation of new tools and products is an amazing experience, especially if you're still in college," a Google software engineer intern said for the study.

3. Qualcomm

Famous for creating and designing mobile technology, Qualcomm followed quickly behind Google with a 4.5 rating.


"Interns are automatically being considered for return internship opportunities or a full time position," an interim engineering intern for the company said.

4. Epic Systems

Epic actually ranked at number 5 in the overall company list, but lands at number 4 among tech companies. The software behemoth, which specializes in health organizations, clocked in with a 4.5 rating.


“Epic has a great support staff for interns, and ultimately, they want to see their interns both do excellent work and learn a lot at their time at Epic," said an Epic Systems software development intern. "It is a good place to start out.”

5. Intel

The massive manufacturers of digital technology came in overall at number 6, but took fifth place among tech companies. Intel, which made waves last month with its plans to cut jobs, landed a 4.4 rating from its interns.


6. Microsoft

One of the most valuable tech brands in the world, Microsoft landed on the list with a 4.3 rating, though it was actually number 7 on the top 25 list.


7. Apple

One of the few tech companies in the world to achieve massive success and a cult-like following, Apple landed at number 9 on the overall top 25 list. It jumped up to number 7 on the tech list, gathering a 4.3 rating.


8. Texas Instruments

Semiconductor design and manufacturing company TI (which you may recognize from its popular calculator division) came in at number 12 out of the original the top 25. Interns flocked to give it a 4.2 rating.


9. Yahoo 

Aspiring Marissa Mayers gave an internship at Yahoo a whirl. Though it was number 14 among the top 25, it gets spot 9 in the tech list. The company received a 4.1 rating on Glassdoor.


According to an anonymous Yahoo software engineer intern, one of the tough interview questions was, “What will you do if the Internet is not working?”

10. Hewlett-Packard

HP claimed the 16th spot on the list of the top 25, but jumped up much higher on the tech side. The corporation gets the number 10 spot with a 4.1 overall rating.
