I'm following reports that Google may acquire Riya, a startup specializing in computer vision that recognizes faces and text in photos. This deal could significantly improve automated tagging and search within Google's image services.
I explore a resource for searching Google searches, a meta-search technique to discover specialized Google tools. It helps find niche search services and hidden features within the Google ecosystem that standard web queries might miss.
I’ve checked out the launch of Google Co-op, which enables deep content search and sharing, and Google Trends, a tool for analyzing search volume patterns over time, much like a customizable Google Zeitgeist.
I'm investigating the mysterious services.google.com subdomain. Early readers uncovered hidden links to Google University, event RSVPs, and internal consoles, providing a glimpse into how Google organized its enterprise and educational services in the mid-2000s.
I'm highlighting the launch of Google Finance and Google Mars, two new services providing market data and high-resolution planetary imagery. These tools represent Google's early expansion into niche data domains like financial services and astronomy.
I highlight research showing that viewing attractive faces provides a cognitive boost. Visual stimulation from "pretty faces" activates the brain's reward circuitry, which can improve focus and mental performance during tasks.
