Keep Track of the 'Best of YouTube' Announcements

Emerald Catron — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:44:28 +0000

As part of their April Fool’s Day tradition, Google is running a pretty great prank on YouTube, right now. They are listing the nominees for the best of YouTube before it “shuts down.” Every video is nominated. They are listing every video on YouTube and reading their descriptions. We really hope they follow through and do this [...]

Wow, I guess there's a moral to this story. If you don't want everybody in the world to see it, don't do it in front of a Google Maps camera. This poor moron learned the hard way. Alexander's wife was innocently looking for an address using the street view feature and there was her man cozied up to another woman and looking right at the camere. FAIL!

In their high-paced efforts to document the mean streets of the world, it appears as if Google may have become cold-blooded donkey killers. In a series of shocking photographs widely circulating on Twitter, you can see the Google Street View car driving past a donkey in one shot and the brutal and dusty demise of the beast in the next.

For just a moment, liken a store shopping experience to one you'd have online. That is, instead of asking a human where something is, you'd ask a search engine, like Google. Admittedly, I really enjoyed the first "search engine" because she's really cute :-)

Google Makes Year in Review Video for Folks Who Weren't Paying Attention

Emerald Catron — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:05:26 +0000

It’s nice to know that Google isn’t just harvesting information about us and selling it to advertisers. Look! They also used our searches to make this video! The video, ‘Zeitgeist 2012: Year In Review,’ shows the top (non-porn) search terms for the last year and includes video as much as possible. If they included porn [...]

Google 'Dying Grandparent' On Google Images And You Get… Christina Aguilera?!

Dan Seitz — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:00:04 +0000

Christina Aguilera has fallen victim to an exceptionally strange search engine quirk: If you Google ‘dying grandparent’ in Google Images, it’s predominantly images of her, and she’s neither a grandparent nor dying. So what’s going on? It’s a result of a gossip item published in June about her family troubles. Aguilera was widely considered to [...]

Non-Existent Island Pops Up On Google Maps

There are hundreds of thousands of uninhabited islands on our planet. The South Pacific island of Sandy isn’t one of them… That’s not because there are people secretly living on the sixty-square-mile land mass. It’s because Sandy, despite appearing on Google maps, doesn’t actually exist. Researchers from the University of Sydney became confused when Sandy popped up on Google [...]

Find yourself wishing the holidays were over already? Well, thanks to a bug in the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, the month of December has been canceled altogether. Is Google the new Grinch?

Siri Versus Google Voice Search — Who Wins?

Emerald Catron — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 15:56:44 +0000

We’re sure Apple fanboys will have something to say about this. In a head-to-head contest between Siri and Google Voice Search, it looks like Siri is the loser. But at least she’s friendly while she’s taking her precious time answering your questions. Truthfully, though, both are still faster than asking another person, thankfully. We are [...]

Google Celebrates 107th Anniversary of 'Little Nemo' With Gorgeous Doodle

Emerald Catron — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 15:00:23 +0000

In case you were wondering what the deal is with today’s Google Doodle, it turns out today marks the 107th Anniversary of Winsor McCay’s ahead-of-its-time ‘Little Nemo’ comic strip. You might not be familiar with the comic strip, but perhaps you remember the movie ‘Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland.’ In case the ‘E.T.’ soundtrack accompanying [...]
