Google Does the News
rizen was among the countless readers who submitted that google does the news. They've added a new tab to their interface, and a CNNish sorta web page that indexes thousands of online news sites. Their technology section is showing some Slashdot stories too (sweet!). I like that they combine related stories on the same subject.
Nifty setup.
New news makes the news. *snicker*

That dup detection code would do wonders to help slashdot. Any chance that Google will license it to /. ?
the best part of it is that Cricket is the headlining sport.
People who think they know everything really piss off those of us that actually do.
maybe time for slashdot to get a google topic
They already have one. It's called "Ask Slashdot"
GoogleNews does GoogleNews.
Their technology section is showing some Slashdot stories too (sweet!).
What if Google links to this story? Then you get the Slashdot slashdotting Google, who will slashdot Slashdot, who will bounce it to Google, who will bounce it back to Slashdot, who will retur*Runtime error: Endless recursive loop encountered, stack overflow. Brain dump follows.*

Waaaaaaaaaitaminute... Are you honestly trying to tell me that the rest of the world doesn't wait with bated breath for any and all developments that come out of American state legislatures? Come on now, next you'll be telling me that you guys don't celebrate the Fourth of July!

Then why don't you limeys create your own search engine that rules? Then you can do whatever you want with it!

I was just saying to my girlfriend that if there's any one company that I have more respect for than any other company in the world, it would be Google.
And then this came out. I got to point and say, "See, this is why!" Then I ran around the room in my underwear laughing maniacally. I think I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

And they will take over the world! But then again, they do have that image search....
Cue the cron/pr0n tab jokes..
Have you noticed that the file extension on the Netscape toolbar is "twhat"? How friggin' perfect is that? I can't believe the person who came up with that didn't read it the way I read it.

Are you saying that we could replace all the Slashdot users with a simple Perl script? In fact, perhaps someone has done this already and I am the only real person. Ahhh.... Maybe I am a Perl script too.
I was having trouble getting work done before with my manually created list of news sources. Now all I have to do is stare at the screen and hit 'refresh'. Maybe I can link refreshes to a blink of my eyes.
