Before logging to my gmail account, I surprisingly read that Gmail created a new feature, called Gmail Paper.
According to Google team, you can select all the documents you want to print including pictures, and Gmail will print them in high quality and deliver them in a pack to your home for free, regardless of […]

Google bought the dot com dot tn domain, and a new address is now available:
http://www.google.com.tn
Not too early, but it’s a good step.

Another interesting Google request due to Google bombing!
Type in the search field the following query:

Click if you wish on “I’m feeling lucky”; you will be redirected to a page that contains a fake IE 404 Error

Have fun!

Looking for more Google ranking, I updated my permalink structure and set it to the following for posts:
http://swobodin.fedora-tn.org/archive/999
The feature is included within wordpress, but you can handle it manually using mod_rewrite.
Note that old URL structure (/?p=999) still works.

After months of patience, tests, hacks, retrieving informations, spying, asking, using and modifying technologies, … I finally could accomplish what I was running after: Being highly ranked in Google!
Looking at statistics, I followed some Google referers, and to my surprise, I found my blog ranked in first position for some keywords; I first took it […]

Googlism.com will find out what Google.com thinks of you, your friends or anything! You have just to enter the name, specify whether it’s a person, thing place, time, … and you get funny results.
In fact, Goolism searches in Google and gets the results that contain the verb “to be” to make a definition. Just […]

Found a funny article in Wikipedia about Google bomb.
A Google bomb or Googlewash is a certain attempt to influence the ranking of a given page in results returned by the Google search engine, often with humorous or political intentions.
Here are some searches you can perform in Google in order to get a funny result:

Does Google support pattern matching?
Apparantly it does, except that there’s no really regular expressions! I tried to search using Perl, awk and Grep regular expressions, but it does not sem to accept them. Of course, some basic ones work, like the logical OR, for example
(A|B|C)
But I could not make it work for something like
.*somepackage.*[[:digit:]]+.*i(6|3)86\.rpm
 
Any […]

Unlike what might mean the title, I am not looking for a jester, I often smile and laugh whenever it’s possible after all.
I was looking for funny pictures to share them with friends, but I got the Internet White Screen of Death again! Means that the sites are blocked here…
There’s something I still can’t […]

Microsoft Buys Google
Have a look at http://g00gl3.com, enter your license and use google.
I know this joke since more than 2 years, and I can’t stop laughing every time I see it.
 
Can not find Intelligence
Visit a non-existent link at word press plugins portal; for example
http://wp-plugins.net/zzz ; no, it’s not really as serious as it seems […]

We know exactly what you have been searching for Google

Nobody can deny Google’s importance: aside from the search engine, Google has the best free E-mail, you may get some dollars without doing anything (adsense) and it offers a sophisticated analyze system (urchin).
However, the ranking system is doubtious, Sup’Comian Boy has already posted about this; and it’s true for my blog too: Although the […]

I don’t understand what does Google AI consist of? picking some words and making any ad? It does never fit with the context!
You may look at the sidebar that I got from Google to guess that the ads can not attract any reader from any part of the world! When I wrote a […]

Why, actually? Google is a free service, isn’t it? And it is becoming more and more a normal part of many people’s lifes. Coupled with an always on connection it has certainly become an extension of my own brain.
 
Some future predictions:
 
- In 2006, Google accidentally gets cut off from the rest of the internet […]
