Cyberculture agenda: #Alphabet is the new Google
Rarely is the Internet simply handed a joke fest on this scale.
Google has reorganized itself into multiple companies, spinning off several of its most ambitious projects alongside its core Internet business under a new umbrella company called Alphabet.

What was Google before? To most people it was a ‘search’ company. It is the name that became a verb. I’ll just Google that for you.
When you’re the world’s dominant Internet company, you need a great URL. And Alphabet, Google’s new parent company, doesn’t disappoint.
If you know Sundar Pichai at all, it’s probably because you’ve suffered through one of the three-hour long Google I/O keynotes he has anchored in recent years. Softly spoken and thickly accented with a gangly, slightly stooped posture, it’s fair to say Pichai is not the world’s most charismatic stage presence
Google as we know it will no longer exist. The company is reorganizing under a new umbrella structure called Alphabet, helmed by Google co-founders Larry Page as CEO and Sergey Brin as President.
The father in Cleveland, Ohio who owns @alphabet is having a very good day.
Google just dropped a huge bomb on the tech world today that it will be restructuring under a new umbrella company called Alphabet. It also offered up a new website to go along with the announcement: abc.xyz In typical Google fashion, the site has a childlike aura, playing with alphabet blocks as the concept for all the companies that will fall under Alphabet, Inc. An obvious example: G is for Google. Then I looked over to the right of the page. And my eyes cannot unsee. “MAD SEX”? Google/Alphabet has officially become the Disney of tech landing pages. Intentional or…
Along with its new name, some of Google’s businesses are splitting off to become their own separate companies. Here’s a breakdown.
WIRED has followed Google since the beginning. From its roots to the present day, the history of the company formerly known as Google offers hints at where Alphabet might be headed.

Whitewashing Abdullah Gül, who was the good cop and acted as an AKP notary during his Presidency, began…
Erdoğan and Gül. For a long time they played the bad cop, good cop. Now Gül wants to distance himself from Erdoğan…
A much-awaited new book by Ahmet Sever, the 12-year ally of former president Abdullah Gül, leaves no doubt that tension between Gül and current President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan rose on several occasions, peaking after the corruption allegations arose against the latter’s former ministers in December 2013.
“President Abdullah Gül did not approve the government’s foreign policy, especially on Syria and Egypt. He thought that Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu had gone too far by acting as if they were the prime minister and foreign minister of Egypt and Syria, which was against Turkey’s best interests. He (Gül) said this to the face of Davutoğlu a number of times.”
And utterly unsuccessful Baykal of CHP, a long time friend of Erdoğan, started to be seen on the scenes. Trying to persuade CHP not to pursue corruption…
Deniz Baykal, the Republican People’s Party (CHP) Antalya deputy and former leader, who held a surprise meeting with President Erdoğan last week, said parties should not insist on reintroducing Turkey’s biggest ever corruption case, which engulfed four former ministers, as a red line in ongoing coalition negotiations.
Senior executives of opposition parties have indicated unwillingness to respond positively to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s expected invitation to hold separate meetings with the leaders of the four parties that have entered parliament.

‘We have created awareness about election security. Political parties were better organized in this election,’ the head of Vote and Beyond, an association whose 56,000 volunteers successfully monitored Turkey’s recent general election
With a leftist-based government in power since January, the results of last Sunday’s general elections in Turkey were seen in Greece largely as a victory for democracy and a defeat of autocracy.
