Yes, it’s true Google acts as a dictionary and spell checker of sorts for many people, but care still needs to be taken.
For example it does not always realise a word has been misspelt if enough web pages are using the same incorrectly spelt version of said word, as Google has indexed enough instances [...]

Long running English soap opera Coronation Street has become the first such show to be officially placed on Google Street View… next stop Summer Bay?
“This is the first ever TV soap to be photographed for Street View and we’re thrilled that soon fans up and down the country will be able to imagine themselves heading [...]

I’d keep this for future reference, after all you have no idea who may be monitoring your use of Google.

I know a lot of people will Google a company or website name to reach it so they don’t have to type out the URL, but how about people who use one search engine to find another, as they do in Japan?
When hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of Japanese Internet users want to Google something [...]

I have a Google Android, or HTC Dream phone for a week or so to try out. I’ll be writing about the experience and hope to cover off the main user points when I do.
If there’s anything you’d like to know about the Android handset from a users point-of-view drop me a line, or leave [...]

I realize it’s hard to resist the impulse when [...]

I have a confession to make. I have not yet downloaded and installed Google’s Chrome browser. Shame on me.
I’ve been tuning into the excited babble coming out of various discussions forums and Twitter in recent days, but I still can’t motivate myself to “make the switch”.
I realise that this stance places my reputation as an [...]

Jeffrey Zeldman asks: how will the Google browser, Chrome, compete with other, better established alternatives? In other words, how will web users be enticed to make the switch to Chrome?
By offering a fast and responsive user experience? Or possibly some yet to be seen bells and whistles that can only be brought about by way [...]

The reaction to new search engine on the block Cuil hasn’t been particularly encouraging to date, so I’m referencing a slightly more positive post.
According to Aodhan Cullen of StatCounter the new search engine, established by former Google employees apparently, is outranking far older, and more established alternatives, such as AltaVista.
Cuil, launched on Monday July [...]
