Using Google search engine, sometimes I found that flashing addresses
showing at the bottom of the screen make connections to Akamai or
Falkag. What do these two companies do? I believe that Akamai is
somewhere from the Eastern part of USA, and Falkag from Germany? Are
they the companies which look around or track you down on what
preferences that you have as you seach through the internet? are they
paid by advertisement companies?
Just curious!

I haven't the slightest idea. But have you looked these companies up with a
search. Then you should figure it out that way. Now as far as flashing
adverts(which Google doesn't use) I think you might have some adware on your
computer.

Akamai is kind of a hosting compnay for big traffic websites, loads of big
companies use them to mirror data. Don't worry about them. Dont know what
falkag is, could be the same idea

Akamai is not to feared, really. They're a clever caching and content
delivery and load balancing service that mirrors data for large web
sites and delivers data to ya quickly by feeding you data from servers
that are "near" to your IP address. So, if you're in say, Indiana
USA, akamai's technology feeds you a google IP address that
corresponds to a server that's near you in Indiana so your data comes
quicker than say, if it were all served off a central server.
