Google Seeking "Search Without Search"
An anonymous reader writes "Forget Google Instant, the search giant is working on ways to push relevant info to users before they have even asked for it...
Foursquare-style location 'check-ins' are also apparently on the way next year."
Hello, gentlemen, look at your browser, now back to me, now back at your browser, now back to me. Sadly, it doesn't have the information you want, but if you stopped using some other search engine and switched to Google, you could have already had your information. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a flying car with the search engine your browser could use. What’s on your screen, back at me. I have it, it’s the search results to some query you have yet to even conceive. Look again, the search results are now pornography. Anything is possible when you use Google. I’m on a server.

That was weird. When I looked at you, all I saw was my browser. When I looked back to my browser, there you were.
One night I dreamed I was surfing the internet with Google. Many scenes from my life flashed across the screen.
In each scene I noticed trace routes in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of trace routes, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from lagging, disconnection or defeat, I could see only one set of trace routes, so I said to Google,
"You promised me Google,
that if I followed you, you would search with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of trace routes in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?"
Google replied, "The years when you have seen only one set of trace routes, my child, is when I searched for you."
