Google Suggest Dissected

"Oh boy. Will Google throw out the DCMA on this one?"

Dyslexic users of slashdot, rejoice!

Re:Raising What Bar?

This really rose the bar? I don't see how.

Duh, its google-related. It must be better than everything else, thus raising the bar.

Clearly. /sarcasm

Google will stop my cell phone from working? Noooooo!

Even better, we supply one of those old Apple Newtons as the only input device. This way you get to learn your grammar and handwriting over again in a Google compliant manner.

Censored!!!

Try typing "porn" or "sex" or "cock" into Google Suggest. It doesn't come up with anything. I started to get suspicious when I typed the letter x to see what would come up, and got 4 or 5 variations of "xbox" but not a single "xxx" or "xxx porn" or anything.

Interestingly enough, they DIDN'T censor the racial slurs. "gay nigger" happily suggests "gay niggers from outer space" among other things. Also, type "tub" and one of the suggestions is "tubgirl".
