April fools quick recap
I am a huge fan of Google's april fools!
because Google takes April 1 very seriously, and they turn it into an art!
Google Calendar and the free Wake Up Kit!
The "wake up" notification uses several progressively more annoying alerts to wake you up. First it will send an SMS message to your phone. If that fails, more coercive means will be used. The kit includes an industrial-sized bucket and is designed to be connected to your water main for automatic filling. In addition, a bed-flipping device is included for forceful removal from your sleeping quarters.

Google Search gDay "search content on the internet before it is created."

Using a mashup of numerous factors such as recurrence plots, fuzzy measure analysis, online betting odds and the weather forecast from the iGoogle weather gadget, we can create a sophisticated model of what the internet will look like 24 hours from now.
Steps to searches the web as it will look tomorrow:
