We recently discovered that the Google Maps API does not play nicely with SSL. Fair enough, but what are some options for overcoming this that others have used effectively? Will the Maps API work over SSL (HTTPS)? At this time, the Maps API is not available over a secure (SSL) connection. If you are running the Maps API o...
Hey all, I've been trying to get pretty charts to work in GWT on our internal network. Playing around with GWT-Ext's charts is nice, but it requires flash and is really messy to control (it seems buggy, in general). I'd like to hear about something that works with the least amount of dependencies and it also must work without a connec...
Searching for some sample code for converting a point in WGS84 coordinate system to a map position in Google Maps (pixel position), also supporting zoom levels. If the codes is well commented, then it can also be in some other language. You can also point me to a open source Java project :) Some resources found: OpenLayer implementa...
Does anyone here know any resources on how to get started writing a plugin for Google's Picasa? I love it for photo management, but I have some ideas for how it could be better. Riya-esque facial search: given a large enough corpus of faces and pictures (people tend to be repeated often in individuals' albums (family, friends), I wou...

I did this Just for kicks (so, not exactly a question, i can see the downmodding happening already) but, in lieu of Google's newfound inability to do math correctly (check it! according to google 500,000,000,000,002 - 500,000,000,000,001 = 0), i figured i'd try the following in C to run a little theory. int main() { char* a = "399999...
Effectively I want to give numeric scores to alphabetic grades and sum them. In Excel, putting the LOOKUP function into an array formula works: {=SUM(LOOKUP(grades, scoringarray))} With the VLOOKUP function this does not work (only gets the score for the first grade). Google Spreadsheets does not appear to have the LOOKUP function and...
OK. This problem is doing my head in. And I dont know if there even IS a definitive answer. We have a website, lets call it mycompany.com. It's a UK-based site, with UK based content. Google knows about it, and we have done a load of SEO on it. All is well. Except, we are about to relaunch my company, the GLOBAL brand, so we now need m...
So let's say I have an issue with some code and I want to use google to help find a solution. So I paste a code snippet into the search bar.

When you print from Google Docs (using the "print" link, not File/Print) you end up printing a nicely formated PDF file instead of relying on the print engine of the browser. Same is true for some of the reports in Google Analytics . . . the printed reports as PDF's are beautiful. How do they do that? I can't imagine they use somethin...
In SEO people talk a lot about Google PageRank. It's kind of a catch 22 because until your site is actually big and you don't really need search engines as much, it's unlikely that big sites will link to you and increase your PageRank! I've been told that it's easiest to simply get a couple high quality links to point to a site to raise...
