Google Suggest Tries To Play Psychic
13 December 2004 in Root | Comments (0)
If you head over to Google Suggest and start to type in a search keyword, then Google will show a list below the box suggesting words that it thinks you are writing. An attempt to beat Microsoft’s AutoComplete feature in Internet Explorer? Not really, it does show the number of search results that each keyword has got which is a bit more info than the AutoComplete feature, which just lists previously typed searches.
It doesn’t work on my whole name (yet) but works on many big brands like Microsoft, Nokia, Coca Cola, etc. Is this yet another Google feature that privacy advocates will go bananas over soon?

Over at Smartphone Thoughts, I spotted something funny once again. This time, Amazon will pay you around 25 US$ if you buy the AudiovoxSMT5600 Smartphone. Which is what you should get when the rebate is larger than the price of the device…
Makes me wonder what the problems with this device are when they are giving money to buy/take it?
