Trying to use Google today? Look at the calendar first. Google rolled out a bunch of pranks. If you want to find them on your own, have at it. If you want a spoiler, look at this list of Google's April Fools' silliness users have already found.
We wish this one were true. Maybe then we could meet our new deadlines:
Google Australia delivers gDay with MATE technology to “search content on the internet before it’s created,” i.e., from the future. From the page: “Google spiders crawl publicly available web information and our index of historic, cached web content. 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.” I saw this yesterday already and tried to search for “Google Blogoscoped” and indeed, found this post and opened its Google Cache version – I was then able to copy the full text of the post, which saved me a lot of writing today.
