It recognises the time of day if its a scenery shot! if you want a picture of the Eiffel Tower but from a lower perspective it will recognise the perspective too!!!!! Dayummmmm Google!!! They are going all out on this image searching thing!!!! awesome! it isn't available quite yet, only in google labs... but hopefully sometime soon. :)

Happy Earth Day!!!

According to earthday.net "Secretary of State Hilda Solis, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, Representative Edward Markey, green celebrities like Chevy Chase and Matthew Modine, and other representatives of the environmental community addressed the crowd and encouraged the world to join The Green Generation™." Some sources say if everyone turns off all of their electricity in their house for only one minute, it will have the same impact as taking every car off the streets for a whole day! So try to keep your energy use to a minimum. Small tips such as shutting off the water while you are brushing your teeth or for the ladies, shaving while the water is warming up. Try taking 1/2 or 3/4 full baths every so often. :)

(I made that picture by the way :) )

Susan Boyle, Household Name?

Susan Boyle, a 47 yr old woman went to the auditions of Britain's got Talent with hopes of having the status of Ellen Paige. Everyone laughed at that. Once she opened up her mouth and sang no one was laughing anymore. Along with the video of her on YouTube having over 5,000,000 views, reports on her MANY fan sites are requesting her to make an album!!!! Maybe her dream of becoming a name like Ellen Paige will come to life!

You can search your images for a specific colour! Wooooo Hoooo!! It is not available for the masses yet but hopefully it will be out for everyone soon!

Apple Gets HUGEE Profits!!

I know that if I look around my house and find how much it cost to make all of these things I would be shocked in comparison to the price i bought it at. I am shocked at the price it takes to make the new iPod Shuffle! Just take a guess........ $21.77!!!! That's it! The main processing chip inside of it only costs $5.95, the 4GB flash drive costs them $6.00, the battery is $1.20. Then there's the case and headphones. So, the price it takes for them to make it is 28% of the actual sale price. That means they mark it up by 300% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People still buy it so... good on Apple.

Fringe viewers have been sent secret messages?!?!

Viewers of the show fringe have been getting secret messages without their even knowing it! it turns out that the images shown before every commercial break are a code. "Nerds" have been able to crack the code and find out what they are saying. It has shown to come up with words such as Olivia (the main character), observer and child. Some images have multiple letters corresponding with that image... tricky...
