The best never rest.

Why is Google the best search engine out there? Simple, they are constantly making subtle changes to there search engine. While the changes, on the whole, are hard to see that doesn't mean that they don't have a big impact. Have a look at some of the new stuff that Google is working on here. Here's a good review of the new features over at ars technica.

Now I've played with them and all of them are pretty useful. The Alternative View feature is awesome, especially the timeline.

Of course some people disagree about Google being the best search engine.

The beginning.

There is no picture of man fashioning the first stone tool. There is no picture of the first alloy of bronze being smelted.

Think of those things and then look at the these photos. For better or worse, the Atomic Age is born.

Avast ye scurvy dogs.

This will prove to be one of the most interesting legal cases about copyrights yet to come. I'd love to say that the Pirate boys have nothing to worry about but they've really pissed off a lot of people.

Anyway, I love the logo they are running today.

A glimmer of hope?

Celebrity hosts for American "Top Gear"?

While I enjoy reading car magazines I wouldn't exactly call the average automotive journalist "entertaining". When you let automotive journalists have a TV show you get MotorWeek and while it can be informative I would only recommend it to insomniacs looking for a good nap. Sure they know A LOT about cars but holy hell is it boring. MotorWeek is a lot like what is referred to as "Old Top Gear" by fans of the show. While the "old" show was better than the likes of MotorWeek it was still highly technical and very dry. Once the BBC allowed Clarkson to recreate Top Gear the way HE wanted it became what it is today, entertaining. So while the Top Gear hosts are automotive journalists they are very unique in that field because they have great humor and charm.

Fine, no journalists. Then who better than a race car driver to host a show? Have you ever listened to a racing driver talk after a race or in an interview? They are the whores of the automotive world and are rarely seen without a sponsors dick in their mouth. That would be the least objective show on television....NEXT!

Celebrity car nuts, now that is interesting idea. Let's take the examples given in the article of Seinfeld and Leno. Here are two guys that are funny, rich and are absolutely insane about cars. Who better than to host a show like that? First, they've got enough money that they don't give a shit who in the car world they piss off. Second, they are both great on camera. Third and most importantly, they both LOVE cars.

I just had a look at Leno's website which seems to cast some doubt on his objectivity. It's plastered with GM ads. Also, Seinfeld is probably the world's maddest Porsche collector, hardly an indicator of objectivity. He owns 10 Boxters? Come on Jerry, variety is the spice of life!

Wah! Cry the Mac Fanboys.

I'm sick of hearing all the Mac Fanboys cry about their blessed technology being copied. Those morons think that anything that has glassy icons on a customizable background is a copy of the Mac OSX interface. Steve Jobs didn't invent the Graphical User Interface, he stole the idea from the braintrust at PARC (along with WYSIWYG Fonts, printers, the mouse, etc). So isn't it appropriate that everyone else steals ideas from Apple?

I believe that's called Karma.

Another brilliant Idea I didn't have.

Watch these videos, Drunk History.

Now why the hell did I not come up with this shit? It's pure genius. I mean all you have to do is get hammered then tell some crazy ass historical account.


Fucking Aaron Burr.....

Great Planning!

So Dubai has BILLIONS to spend on artificial island communities and the world's tallest building but they don't have a redundant communications link installed? Watch, next week Dubai will start building their own Internet 3.0. That's just their style.

And (insert sarcasm) I feel so sorry for all those companies that relocated their "customer service" phone centers to India.

YAWN!

Another day of too much work and not enough interesting Internets news. Here's the best of what I could scrape up today:

• There's a couple new ZeroPunctuation Reviews up...hilarious as usual.
• Fifth Gear is back on but as per usual it is a REALLY poor substitute for Top Gear.
• John Edwards decides to throw in the towel....Does it seem early to you or is just me? He's probably been offered a VP slot by Hillary.....
• For those of you that don't watch Top Gear (what the hell is wrong with you?) here's a great bit by JC about the Peal.
• Drop the Googlebomb on those stupid bitches.
• The end is nigh. Whatever.
