I shared a clip of a fan proposing to cricketer Zaheer Khan on the pitch. The discussion highlights 2005-era regional restrictions on Google Video in India and Germany, requiring proxies for access.
I discovered the Google Admin Console and several obscure subdomains, speculating on the administrative access they might provide. It captures my curiosity regarding Google's early internal licensing systems and web infrastructure in 2005.
I shared Petals Around the Rose, a classic dice-rolling riddle where players must deduce the secret rule for calculating totals. The name provides the crucial hint, though Bill Gates reportedly solved it through brute-force memorization.
I shared a brief update while going on vacation. The comments captured discussions about improving my blog's sidebar layout, finding copies of Richard Feynman's books, and dealing with office web filters blocking the site.
I posted a brief status update during the July 7, 2005 London bombings to confirm my safety as reports of explosions emerged. The discussion quickly shifted to community members sharing resources for free e-books and BitTorrent clients.
I curated a list of compelling videos from Google Video’s early library, featuring classic Honda and Nike ads. The most significant discovery is a deep-dive, five-hour Google factory tour exploring the company’s internal operations.

the India head of Google said this a few days ago that video.google.com is not allowed in countries like India, Germany, etc because of some compllicated laws. Guess thats what is causing these problems.

Wow… this is very interesting. I tried accessing this through a proxy server in Britain and was able to view the video. There may be something in what Amit said….
