Important Blog

3-in-1 Google

Google tests a new homepage that replaces the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button with two new options that let you search using Yahoo and Live Search. "I'm Feeling Lucky" was rarely used and some people wondered if there's a connection between Google and The Pirate Bay, the popular search engine for torrents.

Google has always encouraged competition and the new options will certainly help Yahoo and Microsoft increase their market share. "We had a bug recently where we put a malware statement out for users, and in that time, Yahoo! searches gained very, very quickly. It looks like people will move very quickly from one search engine to another, for any number of reasons," explained Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

The main goal of the new features is to accelerate the innovation in search and to add variety to Google's monotonous homepage. Since the competition will be one click away, even the users who believed that Google is synonymous with web search will discover two alternative search engines.

To keep the number of words from the homepage constant, Marissa Mayer decided to remove the word "programs" from "advertising programs", a change that makes Google's homepage load 0.1415% faster in Google Chrome.

The new homepage will be slowly rolled out in the next hours to a small number of users from Santa Clara and King County. Apparently, some Yahoo engineers already found about the tests and they started to prevent the new users from going back to Google by displaying a peculiar message: "You could go to Google. Or you could stay here and get straight to your answers".

A few weeks ago I found myself in Buenos Aires, being led to what was described as a tango music show. Upon entering through the facade of a garage, a converted warehouse welcomed me along with an audience of all ages. Waiting for the show to begin, an over-sized Heineken accompanied me as I took in the atmosphere, marveling at the abstract decor, including a 6 ft toilet paper roll hanging from the ceiling.

Seoul Preview: Hyundai Genesis PRADA

Hyundai Motor has released the first official images of the Genesis PRADA, a collaborative work between the Korean automaker and the European fashion marque, PRADA. Scheduled to debut at the upcoming Seoul Motor Show this week, the Genesis PRADA receives many luxurious and exquisite upgrades from the conventional Genesis. It is the result of over four months of development between Hyundai's R&D Center in Namyang, Korea and PRADA's Design Center in Milan, Italy.

The exterior of the Genesis PRADA receives exclusive items such as matte-finish "dark-blue" paint, front grille, badges, and door handles. The Genesis PRADA also wears exclusive 20-inch nine-spoke alloy wheels and is fitted with a shark-fin antenna. The interior of the Genesis PRADA is trimmed in white "Saffiano" leather and includes upgrades including illuminated flooring and door trims.

In addition to the show car, Hyundai will craft only two more examples of the limited-edition Genesis PRADA. All proceeds will go to charity.

Try Your Query on a Different Search Engine

Google's search results pages haven't changed that much over time and most of the changes were subtle. An useful feature that has been removed was a list of competing search engines you could use if Google's results weren't very good. Here's an example from 2001:

"Try your query on: AltaVista Excite Google Groups (Deja) HotBot Lycos Yahoo!"

But Google's results have improved, the number of competing search engines has decreased and the list had to be updated frequently, so Google decided to remove the feature. Some add-ons have revived the feature: Customize Google is the most popular, but my favorite implementation is the Greasemonkey script "Try this search on", which lets you switch between different search engines.

Google's Matt Cutts had the idea to bring back the old feature as close to the original as possible and Tiffany Lane, another Google engineer, developed Retro Links, a Greasemonkey script that lists some alternative search engines at the bottom of the search results page. The list is customizable and you can choose between 42 services: Yahoo, Live Search, Flickr, Wikipedia, Gmail and many others.

I think it would be interesting if Google started to suggest third-party search engines that could provide useful results for your queries, based on your search history, location and relevance. In some cases, Google could even display results from other sites in some special OneBoxes: Flickr results sorted by "interestingness", Delicious bookmarks sorted by popularity, Twitter posts that are related to recent events etc.

Random Piracy

One of these pirates is not brought to you by Disney...

It amazes me that in 2009, there are still Pirates... (and successful one's at that)

(from CNN.com)
Pirates attacked a Japanese cargo ship off the coast of Somalia on Sunday, a Japanese Transportation Ministry official said. A pair of small pirate vessels fired on a ship operated by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines about 4 p.m. Somali time (9 a.m. ET), damaging the front of the ship, but not seriously, according to Masami Suekado. Pirating off Somalia has increased over the past four or five years as fishermen from Somalia realize that pirating is more lucrative. The crime, which is hard to prevent, has raised concerns internationally. READ MORE

Random Razor's Edge

Hey Chico!

and this is why Wrestling baffles the mind...

(from Wiki)

Scott Hall1 is an American professional wrestler, in 1992 his character evolved from Scott Hall to that of Razor Ramon, a Cuban American from Miami. The Latino-heel persona was modeled after Tony Montana and Manny Ray (Al Pacino and Steven Bauer's characters from the movie Scarface). Hall's nickname and catchphrase are derived out of quotes from the movie "Say hello to my little friend" and "Say goodnight to the bad guy". Later in his career, Hall claimed he pitched the idea of a Scarface-like character during a meeting with Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson, as a joke. Hall quoted lines with a Cuban accent and gave ideas for vignettes (also inspired by the movie) that would involve Hall recreating several scenes, such as Ramon driving around South Florida in a convertible with a leopard-skin interior. Although his pitch was taken right from the film, McMahon and Patterson were nevertheless floored by the ideas and called Hall a "genius." Hall later learned that neither McMahon nor Patterson had ever seen or heard of the movie; thus, they believed that Hall was coming up with the ideas right then and there. READ MORE

Translate Gmail Messages

PCWorld reports that Google plans to offer users a gift for Gmail's fifth birthday.

"Google will announce the next step in Gmail's evolution, a new product with a European multilingual angle on Monday. At an event in Brussels to mark Gmail's fifth birthday, Google will look at the impact of cloud computing on how people manage their daily tasks, review Gmail's evolution to date and announce the next step in its progression, the company wrote in an invitation."

Most likely, the new product is a Gmail Labs feature that lets you translate messages written in a foreign language. I've found the screenshot that will be used for the feature, which will probably be another great use of the Google Translate API.

Similar features that use Google Translate have been implemented in Google Reader, YouTube, Google Maps, Picasa Web Albums, but the future is a powerful client that translates pages on the fly.

Update: Gmail Labs is now available in 47 languages, but the translation feature hasn't been released.

Google China Music Search, Now Available Everywhere

Google China Music Search (English translation), a service launched last year by Google to better compete in a market dominated by Baidu, is now publicly accessible worldwide and it has a new homepage. The service has been created in partnership with Top100.cn to offer legal MP3 downloads.

"The venture goes directly after Baidu's music search audience, by offering high-quality music files embedded with a digital "watermark" that lets record labels track how often their songs are downloaded. The idea: Better-quality files will draw users away from unlicensed downloads, and give labels and search companies valuable data needed to make money from advertising," explained Wall Street Journal.

While the service is now accessible everywhere, you can only download music if you are in China (or if you use a proxy). Google Music has a large collection of music and there's visual tool that lets you find songs by choosing the tempo, the genre and other characteristics.

Except for this regional service, Google doesn't have any full-fledged music-related product. There's a YouTube category for music videos, a very limited music search engine, a music player and a media server for Google Desktop.

Real-Time Google Translate

Google China has recently released an experimental version of Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer that includes a lot of interesting features, but it's only available in Chinese.

The most exciting new feature is an integration with Google Translate that allows the toolbar to translate web pages that use AJAX extensively and even web sites that require SSL.

The screenshot below shows how Google Toolbar managed to translate all the text from Gmail, a web application that uses JavaScript to display the text messages. I didn't change Gmail's language to Chinese and all the messages are in English.

And here's an English-to-French translation for Google Docs. As you can see, Google Toolbar translated the navigation bar, the sidebar, the list of documents and even the contextual menu. When you use the interface and select an option, Google Toolbar detects the changes and translates the new messages almost in real-time.

When you use this feature for Google Reader, the toolbar translates all the posts as they are loaded.

Another interesting feature from the new experimental version of Google Toolbar is a sidebar for Google Bookmarks that brings many of the features that are already available in GMarks, a popular Firefox extension.

If you speak Chinese and you use Internet Explorer, try Google Toolbar, Labs Edition while keeping in mind that it's not a finished release. It's an interesting experience to use a software in a language you don't know, so you could try the toolbar even if you don't understand Chinese. For now, the toolbar is only available in Chinese, but the translation feature works for all the 41 languages supported by Google Translate (the main challenge is to find a specific language name). This is certainly the most advanced use of the Google Translate API and it shows that automatic translation is a feature which becomes even more powerful when it's integrated in the browser.

Leaked: Kia "VG" Concept revealed before Seoul debut

Scheduled for an official unveiling at the upcoming Seoul International Motor Show, Kia's long-awaited "VG" (project name: KND-5) premium sedan will appear in concept guise when it makes its debut. The lone image leaked of the concept above is a very accurate scope into the design of the production model.

The production model will be available in a myriad of engine options including a 2.4L Theta 4-cylinder (for the Korean market) and a 3.5L Lambda V6. The front-wheel drive sedan, which will share its underpinnings with the Hyundai Azera, will go on sale later this year in September for the Korean market. The "VG" will also reach American shores next spring.

Stay tuned for more information as the Seoul Motor Show's opening date of April 2nd gets closer.

Continue reading to view the full image.

UPDATE: Many publications and websites have been posting that the "VG" will replace the current Amanti. This is NOT TRUE as the "VG" will not bear the Amanti nomenclature and the Amanti will be replaced by a more luxurious model, code-named "CH".

Hyundai to offer factory performance upgrades for Genesis Coupe

Hyundai is developing a range of factory performance accessories for the Genesis Coupe in order to help the automaker to capture a share of the aftermarket division that it predicts will flock to the new coupe.

No details regarding specific performance parts were given, but it's safe to assume that most will be of the bolt-on variety offering modest performance gains, especially considering that any performance add-ons will have to comply with Hyundai's 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Hyundai will release its Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec later this year, which focuses on value and performance. The R-Spec shares many of its performance-oriented components with the pricier Track model, while removing non-essential premium conveniences (Bluetooth, cruise control, sunroof, etc.) to lower its weight and price. When it hits showrooms this fall, the Hyundai Genesis R-Spec will cost $24,500 including destination charge. Sources at Hyundai also mentioned that an R-Spec version of the 3.8 V-6 powered car could come to market at a future time, based on demand for such a car.

Random Flashback

interesting play on words?

I used to play Flashback: The Quest for Identity for hours when I was a youngin and thought of it completely RANDOMly today...

I'm pretty sure mini-Ben had no idea what was going on with the story of this game... but I knew it was awesome and I wanted to play it forever. I never owned this game, although the amount of times I rented it I've probably bought it twice at this point. At the time, the graphics were out-of-control good and the way you could jump through screens seemed really cool to me. What I do remember was that the gameplay was horrible and the guy would just casually fall 50 feet to his death if you went to close to the edge...

Sadly, I don't think I ever got past the first part... says a lot about who I am today.

No player is more crucial to the team while at the same time completely destructive to the "best-of-5" effort.

This guy will make a diving save of a drop shot to the far corner one second, then spike the ball into the crowd with Thor's fury the next.

I don't know why they made him so fragile.

He can be in the perfect position but switch to hit it backhand and rifle the ball off the side wall for no particular reason... He's like the lucky drunk baseball stadium fan who tries all game to get on the jumbo-tron, then when the camera's finally pick him up, he awkwardly freeze's up like a bar-mitzvah slow dance.

More Search Options in an Experimental Google Video Interface

Google tests a new "tool belt" format that exposes some advanced options and lets you refine the search results without visiting a special page. The format has been tested for web search, image search and now Google Video.

The experimental interface for Google Video includes a link to "search options" which displays a sidebar that lets you restrict the results to a certain video site, choose a date range, the duration of the videos and if they are embeddable. Most of the options are currently available in drop-downs below the search box and in the advanced search, but the new interface makes them more visible and encourages their use.

What I don't like is that Google devotes less space to the videos, it's more difficult to scan the results and the player's position changes when you scroll down.

To try the new interface, go to Google Video and paste in the address bar the following JavaScript code:

Random Economic Blame

Brazil's president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva...

does not care about white people...with blue eyes.

(from Huliq.com)
Speaking in Brasília at a joint press conference with U.K. prime minister Gordon Brown, Brazil's president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva blamed the global economic crisis on white people. Specifically, he blamed the crisis on "white people with blue eyes." In reality, he was probably wanted to point the blame of this crisis on wealthy Americans and Europeans (probably more toward Americans). Lula da Silva said:

“This crisis was caused by the irrational behaviour of white people with blue eyes, who before the crisis appeared to know everything and now demonstrate that they know nothing. I do not know any black or indigenous bankers so I can only say [it is wrong] that this part of mankind which is victimized more than any other should pay for the crisis."

According to Kanye West, Lula da Silva is the anti-Bush

On behalf of the world's economic misfortune.

Thanks to the entire team for their generous access during training exercises and patrols this Summer. Since the Service began in 1973, it has carried out more than 21,000 missions ranging from urgent patient transfers to dangerous search and rescue missions.

The Service depends entirely on the generous support of sponsors and the community to stay flying. Donations can be made here:

Import Your Old Hotmail Messages into Gmail

Now that Hotmail started to support POP3, you can import messages from Hotmail accounts into Gmail using the mail fetcher.

Go to the Accounts tab from Gmail's settings page and click on "Add a mail account you own". Type the Hotmail address and use the following settings:

Username: the complete email address
Password: your Hotmail password
POP Server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
Enable all the four subsequent options (the only option that's required is "Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail").

Since the mail fetcher emulates a standard mail client that supports POP, it will check for new messages periodically. You also have the option to add the Hotmail address as a custom "From" address so you no longer have to compose messages in Hotmail.

Hosted by Google, but Not Open to Search Engines

Like many other sites, Google uses robots.txt files to prevent search engines from indexing some of the content from google.com. In most cases, Google includes search results pages and other pages generated automatically, which would pollute indexes.

But sometimes Google excludes useful content, either directly using robots.txt files or using addresses that are difficult to index:

* published documents, spreadsheets and presentations from Google Docs - I suspect that the main reason why search engines aren't allowed to index Google Docs pages is that many documents would become public if search engines indexed invitation URLs.

* public pages for Google Reader's shared items - most of the content from these pages is copied from other pages, but Google Notebooks can be indexed by search engines.

* the albums and the photos hosted by Picasa Web Albums (the photos are indexed by Google Image Search, while the albums are included in Google's main search results). Picasa Web's front-end uses AJAX and URLs like http://picasaweb.google.com/guedin/AdriChezLesKiwisToutesLesPhotos12#5312778271091234418 can't be indexed by search engines, which usually remove fragments.

* the answers and questions from Google Moderator, another AJAX app that uses addresses like http://moderator.appspot.com/#15/e=cc&t=6. The application powers a new section from White House's website called "Open for Questions", which also can't be indexed by search engines.

* the LIFE photo archive, which is only available in Google Image Search. "It's disappointing that Google gets exclusive access to index these images and every other search engine is out of luck. Exclusivity like this doesn't seem in line with Google's philosophy," says Andy Baio.

* the books scanned by Google that are available in Google Book Search (they're included in Google's main search results, as part of Universal Search)

* the patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that are available in Google Patent Search

* the charts generated using Google Chart API

* the captions from videos hosted by YouTube and Google Video (they're indexed by YouTube and Google Video)

Seoul Preview: Hyundai BLUE-WILL Hybrid Concept

Hyundai has revealed the first pictures of the BLUE-WILL, a plug-in hybrid concept car the automaker will reveal at the Seoul Motor Show on April 2nd, 2009. The car's parallel hybrid system features a 1.6-liter direct injection gasoline motor, a 100 kilowatt electric motor, a continuously variable transmission, and a lithium ion polymer battery pack.

The lithium ion polymer pack is the first use of the technology in a production car, according to Hyundai, and is situated next to the fuel tank underneath the rear seats to maximize storage space in the trunk. The car also has a panoramic roof which integrates dye-sensitized solar cells in order to regenerate the batteries without blocking the view. Various parts of the car will be made from recycled materials, including bioplastics, plants, and soft drink bottles and will also be bio-degradable.

Drawing in Google Docs

Google Docs added a simple editor for drawings: you can insert shapes, draw lines and arrows, insert scribbles and text, change the color, the line width and other formatting options.

The drawing is inserted as an image, but it continues to be editable after you add it to the document. Google uses SVG in Firefox, Opera, Chrome and other browsers that support it and VML in Internet Explorer, so you don't need third-party plug-ins.

To try this feature, called internally Sketchy, go to the "Insert" menu and select "Drawing". This is one of the few features that works for all types of files that can be edited in Google Docs: documents, spreadsheets and presentations. It doesn't work well when two or more people edit the same drawing simultaneously and the interface is confusing: when you finish editing your drawing, you need to click on the "X" icon.
