Erm... what's the use of a 100mbit/sec connection with a mobile phone. Mobile phones can barely hold 100mbits at all, let alone be able to write 100mbits/sec to its hard drive (or SIM card, whatever it uses). Lets just say you were to use your phone for internet access (via GPRS or something), the majority of mobile providers' internet costs are huge (as you would expect since most of them charge by the kilobyte) so it can't really be used for that. I suppose it might make video messaging more clear, however, not having a video phone and not knowing the current quality, I can't see much of an improvement. At current, I really can't see much use for it, but I'm sure technology will catch up and before long we'll be needing much higher speeds for something.
As the words suggest, site: will search for the search terms in a specific site, or domain level (e.g. site:www.slashdot.org, site:.org), inurl: will search for the search terms in the URL as well as the content. allinurl: will search for the search terms only inside the url. filetype: will search for the search terms with results for only the specified filetype (e.g. filetype:.doc), etc.
It also has a very complex calculator function, which comes into effect automatically when you enter a mathematical query (e.g. tablespoon / pi ^ e).
It also (imo) has the best ranking system, which isnt bias by money (excluding the sponsored links).
With google soon to bring out their own email, I can see google becoming an extremely wide used site (even more so than now) in the near future.
"It would involve magor changes to change the virus enough for the scanner not to pick it up as the orignal virus"
Not true. Although I may be wrong, I was under the impression that the majority of AVs use a 'signature' to detect virii (in executable form). By signature I mean the AV checks a certain set of bytes in the program, say six or so, in a certain place. After reading an article on AV software a while back I have a fairly good understanding of how to get around those checks (I won't explain completely for obvious reasons) but it involves finding and changing the order of those signature bytes so the program functions in exactly the same way yet isn't detected by the AV. The article went into much more depth and made it easy for most people to bypass AV detection. The article is probably a couple of years old by now and that technique may no longer work, just thought it was worth a mention.
A few people have said you can use google by typing 'g' in the address bar, although that ddoesn't work for me, I recently read something on the internet about placing an entry into the HOSTS file, so that you can indeed use g for google, just thought I'd post it here, in case anybodys still reading this article..
"Note that you can put a specific line into your host file ("216.239.37.100 g") and google will show up whenever you type "g" into the location bar (like we would not need that to avoid excessive sniffing by our browsers:-)"
To be honest, before I used firefox, or phoenix as it was called back then, I very rarely used google. However, since firefox has a built in 'google function' as I call it (this works by typing google [searchtopic] in the address bar and hitting enter) I must use it around 10 to 20 times a day. Looking back on things, I don't know how I ever got anything done without firefox or google...
This is a ridiculous idea.. They really need to think things through and come up with a smart idea.
Instead of something which fights back, why not just block any IP which hits the website say over 60 times a minute? Even if its for a small period of time. This isn't a great method of protection, but i'm sure it will be a lot healthier for the server.
We all know that certain viruses (MyDoom being the one that springs to mind) that launch DDoS attacks on websites, so not only does the website suffer, but so too does the person infected with the virus.
Then there's the fact that people use proxy servers.. These proxy servers are going to be hammered, and the DDoS attacker will get away scott free...
There are salready everal non-3-character extensions already around. In fact, I think I'm fairly safe to assume there's by far more 2-character domains than there are 3-character domains... here's a few examples:
I think i have a pretty good understanding of how google works..
People submit their site, google goes to their site and visits every link it can find on the main page, then every link it finds on those other pages etc. So that pretty much the whole site is included.
This obviously means pages which are not linked do not get included in googles search, so i'm not surprised at the fact that less than 1% is ever crawled.
So how does this new method of crawling work? How can it possibly know what files are on the server if they are not linked in any way. The only way I can think of is a brute-force type method, which seems extremely stupid to me, since that would consume so much of the search engine's resources.
This also brings me onto the next point, like a few people have mentioned, there are certain pages on the web which append string onto the end or before the beggining of the URL, for example yourname.ismyfriend.com or www.somegamesite.com/attack.php?player=bob&attacks =5
so how many times would the crawler decide was enough to move onto the next link?
Also, since most of the internet is porn, and this new found technology will reveal another 90% or so percent of the internet, are we suddenly going to be showered with explicit sites?

Google is rapidly evolving into one of, if not, the most advanced search engine in the world.
Along with its regular search and local search, you can make an extremely customizable search with the following features:
site:, link:, inurl:, allinurl:, intitle:, allintitle:, intext:, allintext:, filetype:, ext:, inanchor:, allinanchor:, phonebook:, rphonebook:, bphonebook:, daterange:

apparently not anymore, i scrolled through a few pages of results without a single mention of google...
