Gotta love google

After reading an article on slashdot about how a woman found her blind date on the FBI's most wanted list, I had to laugh. It just goes to show you how much info we now have at our finger tips these days. In a few seconds, you can find so much with google. Have you ever googled for your whole name (in quotes) to find what you can find? My cousin did that a couple of months ago and found all this family tree stuff about her, put on the web by someone we don't even know! That's one way to find distinct relitives...

Another slashdot article was about how Scientists create new form of matter. New? I thought that we had gotten ourselves into enough trouble before making more things that we mess up. Personally, I do love it when I see headlines like that or how something that was a total "fact" turns out to be totally wrong... It always reminds me that we still have so far to go in our science. But I think that we are getting there. Slowly. ;-)

Ya, but I didn't want to open it while at work... I have a feeling that they have people just monitoring the network looking for "restricted" material.

I'll have to wait to read about porn search engines at home. ;-)

Yeah, that booble thing sucks. Looking up regular words doesn't show any results. Hell, even looking up regular words you'd expect to find results for doesn't show anything. Maybe they just need more time to crawl

Either that or they just have it going to people that pay to be on the site...
Are you a bit disappointed kibbee?

Apparently it seems that kibbee needs a new source of pr0n. : )

I actually did open the webpage at work because I didn't any of the article... oh well ;P

Ya, I sent the link to a bunch of people at work, including my manager and they were loving it.
