Google also introduced CADIE (http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/landing/cadie/) (Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity), a major technological breakthrough and the first artificial intelligence tasked-array system. Google found "a powerful new technique for solving reinforcement learning problems, resulting in the first functional global-scale neuro-evolutionary learning cluster".

Then there's Google Mobile's new Brain Search (http://www.google.com/mobile/default/brainsearch.html), which "uses CADIE technology to index your brain to make your thoughts and memories searchable". You can use it to:


the name of that guy across the room
where you put your car keys
why you started dating this woman in the first place

To just skim over some of the other styff, there's a CADIE-powered version of Google Earth (http://earth.google.com/cadie.html), better Google Docs (http://www.google.com/google-d-s/cadie.html) and a 3D version of Chrome (http://chrome.blogspot.com/2009/04/introducing-google-chrome-with-3d.html).

The Gmail AutopilotTM by CADIE (http://mail.google.com/mail/help/autopilot/index.html) is also really awesome, e.g.

The YouTube videos were flipped (http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=6eXJnDH2PRU) to improve the user experience. "The biggest part of the new watch page is the real-time disorientation you'll get when you've clicked on a video from the home page. The new watch page lets you know what's happening right now in your world -- and it feels kinda funny." If you don't see the change, just add &flip=1 to the URL of a video page.

Google code search's homepage (http://www.google.com/codesearch) is also full of LOL. There seems to be a new programming language called "lolcode"...

In non-Google news, there is a new Grand Theft Auto called Harbour City (http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/967/967568p1.html), and the ability to "P1mp My Mount!" in World of Warcraft (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/underdev/mount-p1mpage.html)!1!!

Friend of my mum's came round this morning, he told us something that he had heard somebody's son had said to him mum.

The son calls his mum on his mobile, he says that he's been arrested by the police for drink driving, and is heading down to the police station to do a blood test. Obviously him mum is a bit distressed and a bit angry. A bit later he calls his mum back saying he's really confused and scared as he's having to fill out loads of forms and he doesn't know what to do. After a short talk with his mum he tells her he can't remember the date and asks her what the date is.

His mum realizes and hangs up.

Thought that was quite a good prank :D.
