Download Panoramio pictures - google-maps

Right now Panoramio is shut down by Google, according to
link
However, when I open Google Earth, I can also find Panoramio photos. For example,
Is it possible to download these photos right now?
Thank you.

It's so easy. You just need to replace the number in this link:
https://static.panoramio.com.storage.googleapis.com/photos/original/80554884.jpg
For example, you have opened in browser 'Comment it'
http://www.panoramio.com/photo/55953867#comment
Just put 55953867 instead 80554884 in the first link.

Google logo, map tiles and other google images don’t load in Chrome (HTTP 400)

There are several similar entries in stackoverflow for this error (HTTP 400), but I haven't found anything relevant to mine; so if this is already answered... my apologies.
Chrome is my default browser, and I use many Google services everyday, like Gmail, Maps, Docs, etc.
However, time-to-time, when I am logged-in to Google, I notice some assets are not loading from Google websites (*.google.com).
For example; Google logo in upper-left corner at main www.google.com search results; or image tiles in Maps.
Those missing images (or assets in general images, JS, CSS) have references in the DevTools Console: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400
Once I clear storage in DevTools > Application, naturally I get logged out, but those missing assets start behaving normal and load as expected. I can log back in to Google services and use them without any issues, until next time it happens.
Since clearing storage (cookies and cache) fixes the issue, I don't think it's related with any of the installed add-ons (read AdBlock).
Has anyone experienced this issue, or better yet have a solution for this? Or should I continue blaming Google in general? :)
I was having a similar issue in Maps. I searched around on the intertubes and found a solution that worked for me:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/zbT4TK4x2QI
Synopsis: delete all the cookies for "www.google.com" starting with gsScrollPos
In Chrome:
click "three dot" menu on upper right
click settings
open the advanced section
click content settings
click cookies
click "see all cookies and site data"
click the search cookies box and type "google"
scroll down to find "www.google.com" and click it
now click the X next to each item starting with gsScrollPos
Hope that helps you!

Google plus share issues

I am getting an arrow icon while i share google plus blog:
https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://something.com&picture=http://www.somthing.com/image.jpg
Please see the share popup:
In the above picture you can see arrow marks (right and left) which i need to remove
I am not seeing anything in google plus share api to remove this?
Do you have any recommendation for this?
When you paste an URL, Google+ will automatically takes that image. In case if you have many images, you can just change the images at the top by just changing the left or right arrows to choose the exact image that you need.There seems to be no roundabout ways to remove that button.There is nothing in the Google plus share documentation too.

Put image picture when doing "GOOGLE SEARCH" as cnn does

I am building site.
I want to add ability to show an image beside the site+description when I am doing GOOGLE search, and see my site on organic GOOGLE search results.
i.e - https://www.google.co.il/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=8kzeU_mAFsOH4AaG6ID4AQ&gws_rd=ssl#q=cnn shows the result with a picture beside the site+description.
I tried to make a sample, as advised by webmaster tool, like follwing:
<img itemprop="image" ...>
but the above doesn't work (When I am searching by 'google search' image is not shown).
Thanks :)
Google does that stuff based on social networks, You would want to create a google+/facebook/twitter page for the site and upload a profile image there.
https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/175288?hl=en
Also you will want to confirm your domain ownership with google webmaster tools

All of these things increase the chance for your site getting a image next to it. BUT it is still determined by google's algorithms so it can take a while.

How to make google maps show in english

I have Gmail and all language settings I could find there are set to US English.
However, when I type "googlemaps" in my search bar and click on the link https://maps.google.com/‎ it will show me the map in Arabic language which I can not read. Does anybody know what I need to do in order to set it back to English?
There are two ways to do this that do not require logging in to a Google account.
Cookies: Go to google.com/ncr. This will set a cookie in your browser saying that you want to view the US English version of Google. This will apply to all google services such as Maps until you clear cookies.
Query strings: You can also just append ?hl=en to the end of the URL. For example: maps.google.com?hl=en. If you want to do it this way, it's worth reading about how query strings are formatted since you might run into issues if one is already in the URL.
Ok, I finally found it out myself. I share to maybe allow someone else with the same annoying problem to save some valuable time of his life.
First I went to this page: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2539428?hl=en&rd=1
Point 1 holds a link to Search Settings which I clicked. Now with me, this new page rendered in Arabic. I had to click around until I found some language selections with radio buttons. There I selected english and saved with the blue shaped button. After that, finally no more Arabic. HTH
Just log in to your Google account. Click the 'Log In' blue button at your upper left. It should solve the problem, if you've saved English as you preferred language.

Create a chrome extension which modifies a web page?

every time I go to a particular web page I hit F12 delete a node and uncheck a few absolute position boxes on two others. I would like to know how to do this with a chrome extension.
I have not made a chrome extension before so I thorough guide to making one would also be appreciated
I recommend you to read this guide first as Google suggests.
http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted.html
Also, I think in order to implement what you want to do, you'll need to use page action.
So, take a look at this page about page action.
