Brandon Davenport | Posted on 11:29 AM Just when you thought all odds we're turning on the iPad - somebody decided to turn on auto-generated captions at Youtube. New levels of absurdity will be reached in the next 8 minutes of this video caught by Engadget, complete with hilarious auto-captions and giggles all around.

We all use Google without thinking about it - every single day, and maybe even 20 times a day or more. What we do notice, however, is that sometimes they change their logo to celebrate an event, such as the anniversary of the moon landing for example; the interesting thing though is that Google has been up and running for just over 12 years, so those titles add up over time. Some of the old logos are butt ugly, but most of them are really neat and inventive.
Take a look into the Google Logo Archive:

We all have at one time or another put a proxy to use - either at school or work, but sometimes we spend hours looking for one that is not blocked, is fast and that works. Some of us even go to the lengths of running one from our own PC at our house. Instead, why not run one for free through the Google App Engine? More details after the break...

There have been a lot of funny Google Autocompletes - but these really top the charts! They feature some of the weirdest (in some cases disturbing) Autocompletes that we're captured and uploaded to the Internets, before Google could either fix it, or they simply became irrelevant, and disappeared from the mystical Autocomplete field. Lets take a look into the strange world of Autocompletes...
Brandon Davenport | Posted on 7:11 PM This is cool - Updates can be turned on through the Inbox drop-down menu. The cool part is you will just receive a notification for new waves, but not every update to waves, so your inbox won't be over-flowing -- Read more

European Director of Google's online sales, John Herlihy, was speaking at the Digital Landscapes conference at UCD. He made a point that Google is mostly oriented towards mobile devices, claiming they all become more important than desktop PCs.
He went on to say “In three years time, desktops will be irrelevant. In Japan, most research is done today on smart phones, not PCs,” and that makes sense.
Google isn't interested in how we make our videos, they just want to serve them, and add them to their search.
As we start to see the increase in mobile technology development like the iPad and Nexus One, we will start to see better reception from the public, thus re-enforcing the fact that people will start thinking "why do I need a PC? This thing is the size of a magazine and it can do everything I need..."
On the other hand, not many people are willing, just yet, to give up their PC. I know I am one of them, but it is really interesting to realize where all this will finally end up. The cloud.

When Motorola announced that the Droid would be receiving Android 2.1 via their Facebook page, bloggers and consumers alike were overcome with joy. However, as the week progressed it became apparent that the company had no intention of actually releasing the update within the specified timeframe. If you’re still holding out for Android 2.1 on your Droid, we’ve got good word that an official test build is running ramped in the wild. As of this moment it appears that Android 2.1 for the Droid will feature multi-touch in both the default browser as well as the revamped, re-stylised gallery application. You’ll also notice that the news and weather widgets have made the cut, however, the newer “application drawer” as featured on the Nexus One isn’t included in this build. Hopefully Motorola will be able to release this update soon, but more importantly, release it without any further setbacks.

Even though you may feel - upset and mad at Google for picking on poor little Picnik, there are a few things you need to know. First off, the Picnik crew is very happy to be acquired by Google for a few reasons. Also, this means a safer place for Picnik to exist because they are under the roof of Google.
"It means we can think BIG. Google processes petabytes of data every day, and with their worldwide infrastructure and world-class team, it is truly the best home we could have found." - Picnik said on their company blog today, and by how they tell us, this is a good thing. Don't expect any changes yet, but there will be new stuff coming.

If you think Google is merely just a search engine then you my friend are a Noogler; that's right, a Google n00b. If there's anything that the full graphic (shown after the break) shows is that Google is one of the hands holding the world afloat. Take them out of the picture and you have a dark dark place where people still use phone directories, dictionaries, and real world maps - how did we exist in such a primitive state before Google?! /sarcasm
