Google continues to produce cool stuff. We’re all familiar by now with our browsers trying to autocomplete URLs for us - start typing ‘www.eb’ and the browser will suggest a set of possibilities, including say ‘www.ebay.com.’ While it can occasionally be annoying, generally this is useful feature. Now imagine if your search engine did it for you. Or don’t bother trying to imagine, just go try it for yourself. I am amazed at how quickly this is streaming data down to my browser. I’m also convinced at this point that the world’s cleverest programmers work for Google.
