Google Launches Google Print

Posted by samzenpus on from the even-more-searching dept.

Rescate writes "As reported by Reuters,Google is launching Google Print, which will show book excerpts next to regular Google search results. A spokesman said, "We're trying to index every book there is, and make it searchable for our users." Even though this competes with Amazon's A9 search which also searches within books, Google says the two companies will continue to work together, and that Google Print will link to Amazon, as well as other sellers, to buy books listed in the search results. Google will demonstrate the technology Thursday, Oct. 7 at the Frankfurt Book Fair."

    so many google features, why no porn.google.com? :o(

    one word: usenet

    alt.binaries.*.erotica.* is the biggest source of fresh porn you can imagine (even if you have a big imagination). Yes, it's got spam too, but if you don't like that try your luck on any p2p network (type your favourite female/male body part in the search box and instant entertainment)

    Internet is the biggest provider of adult entertainment if you ask me.

    You missed the frosty piss by an astounding 6 minutes. In the history of the universe, I would be hard pressed to find anybody that ever failed it as hard as you.

    Now, please examine this C code while I play Halo.

    void main()
    {
    while(1)
    printf("I am a fucking failure!");
    }

    Meanwhile I've got 4 gmail invites. The 4 first responses criticizing George Bush's policy OR (to play fair) telling me how he's not the most lousy US president post WWII America has known, will get an invite.
