Google's new toys

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they-are-excellent! dept.

Google labs just released for your pleasure, some new toys to play with. The first is Google's Viewer, just type a few words to see a fully working preview of the web site. Another new idea: Google's Webquotes, View search results with quotes about them from other sites, and the last one is Google's Froogle, which aims to be the world's largest catalog.

  2. Britney's Guide to Semiconductor Physics by rednaxel · · Score: 5, Funny
    When I tried search for webquotes about Britney Spears, the following site appeared:

    Britney's Guide to Semiconductor Physics

    From the site:

    "It is a little known fact, that Ms Spears is an expert in semiconductor physics. Not content with just singing and acting, in the following pages, she will guide you in the fundamentals of the vital laser components that have made it possible to hear her super music in a digital format."

    P.S. Checkout the author's page as well...

    I wish I had a sig.
