Google Search Tricks
I am pretty impressed with Google, especially considering that its a search engine and not some fantasmaflopical robotic brain which reads my thoughts and knows my innermost secrets. Wait, it is that.
Google won't really win me over until it can provide the correct answers to the following searches:
"My Birth Father"*
"How I will die"*
"Why doesn't he/she love me?"*
*links are the top hits on Google searches. Sadly, Google failed me. And all my friends out there seeking their birth fathers. You know who you are.

CNN Googles "Google"
Study: More Americans Googling themselves.
Lets be honest, the first thing I did when I heard of The Google back in the late 1940's (I was in on the earliest prototypes) was enter my own name. I'm a human being. Isn't it Google's primary function to see what other people can learn about you on the internet and then to get angry about Big Brother infiltrating your privacy, and then to secretly rejoice when you look really successful to those who have Googled you? I get 35 hits when I Google my first and last name in quotations. I know you have done it too, how many hits do you get?
By the way, you get 1,500,000,000 hits when you google "Google".

Google Launches 'The Google' For Older Adults
September 26, 2007 Issue 43•39
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—The popular search engine Google announced plans Friday to launch a new site, TheGoogle.com, to appeal to older adults not able to navigate the original website's single text field and two clearly marked buttons.
"The Google will have all the same information currently found on regular Google, but with the added features of not stealing your credit-card numbers or giving your computer all kinds of viruses," said Rick Tillich, The Google project director. "All you have to do to turn the website on is put the little blinking line thing in the cyberspace window at the top of the screen, type ' thegoogle.com,' and press 'return'—although it will also recognize http.wwwthegoogle.com, google.aol, and 'THEGOOGLE' typed into a Word document."
Tillich added that he hopes the site will soon replace Yahoo Internet Website.com as the most popular search engine for users over 55.
