I like these videos. They're all a bit weird, but in a good way I think. =) - Tom Stocky

I like the hand crafted Chrome - Xitong Liu

fantastic! - Mustafa Burak Su

the way to go is SRWare Iron - http://www.srware.net/en... - "SRWare Iron: The browser of the future - based on the free Sourcecode "Chromium" - without any problems at privacy and security" - ovigia

finally, finally, Chrome for Mac beta is out! - Xitong Liu

I especially like this cartoon: http://www.google.com/chrome... - Hein Roehrig

"The new features will be rolling out in the next few days and will be available globally in English. You can try them out today by visiting http://www.google.com/trends and clicking on a 'hot topic,' which in most cases will bring you to a search results page with the new real-time feature." - Tom Stocky

"Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our new partners that we're announcing today: Facebook, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku and Identi.ca — along with Twitter, which we announced a few weeks ago." - Paul Buchheit

The realtime part seems a little canned though. When I hit reload, the same results slowly scroll in every time: http://www.google.com/search... - Paul Buchheit

"We recognize, however, that a crisis for news-gathering is not just a crisis for the newspaper industry. The flow of accurate information, diverse views and proper analysis is critical for a functioning democracy. We also acknowledge that it has been difficult for newspapers to make money from their online content. But just as there is no single cause of the industry's current problems, there is no single solution. We want to work with publishers to help them build bigger audiences, better engage readers, and make more money." - Eric Schmidt - Tom Stocky

"How has consumer spending changed over the past 15 years? Do we spend more on some things and spend less on other than we did in the early 80s? In this interactive, based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, you can explore just that." - Tom Stocky

Hm.. looks like the insurance companies are getting rich. THe amount spent on personal insurance and healthcare has gone way up! - Piaw Na

What's interesting is that personal insurance growth is non-linear. There was a huge 2% jump around 2000. What explains this? Besides the recession, was there some big legislative change that year? 9/11? - Ray Cromwell

It's around 75F here and it's only 7:30AM, but it got down in the low 60's last week:) - Michael Fidler

I went to Laax (http://bit.ly/6QeNgf) this time last year and had a great time, best snowboarding trip of my life by far. - Cem Ozkaynak

State-by-state heat graph of the top 50 search terms for Thanksgiving on Allrecipes.com -- pretty cool. - Tom Stocky

Californians ranked well below average on everything except Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. And Tofurky, I suspect, though it didn't make the list. - DeWitt Clinton

at a julefrokost Tom? I love the herring with curry salad :-) - Rasmus Lauridsen

No julekfrost, just dinner with a friend -- I wanted to try some traditional Danish food. =) - Tom Stocky

Cool, enjoy the danish "cuisine" - Rasmus Lauridsen

"'Our new identity is uniquely dynamic,' said the company's CEO Tim Armstrong in a press release. 'Our business is focused on creating world-class experiences for consumers and AOL is centered on creative and talented people - employees, partners, and advertisers. We have a clear strategy that we are passionate about and we plan on standing behind the AOL brand as we take the company into the next decade.'" - Tom Stocky

They' can't afford to pay licensing fees for their stock photography to get that silly 'Aol.' watermark removed? - Kevin Fox

not very cool. Maybe they'll try to by the Firefox brand :-D It worked last time... - Jonas S Karlsson

I really like this one -- only a minute long. This might be a sign that I've worked at Google too long, but I have to admit this gave me goosebumps. =) - Tom Stocky

Me too. Maybe it's just my personal experience (and the fact that I just ended up in the crib phase of this story about a year ago). - Joel Webber

Inspiring :-) - Pavel Kaplin

"Every search is a quest. Every quest is a story." - Tom Stocky

Just came across this for the first time. Amazing speech. - Tom Stocky

Istanbul has been wonderful -- I wish I had more time to spend here. I'll definitely need to come back! - Tom Stocky

@Tom by the way your presentation was great, we'll be looking forward to use motorola android phones in our country. - Berk Günsev

You can try it out at http://www.google.com/dashboa... - Tom Stocky

"I do believe that you can achieve more if you're willing to take risks," Lars said in a recent phone interview. "There's almost a total correlation between the amount of risk you're willing to take and then the amount of stuff you then potentially can get done." - Tom Stocky

Also geniuses behind Google Maps. - Burcu Dogan

"In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Brin family’s immigration to the United States, they have given gifts to several Jewish organizations that aided along the way. HIAS, which helped the family navigate the cumbersome process of leaving the Soviet Union for the United States, paid for tickets, gave them money and helped them apply for visas, received the largest amount." - Tom Stocky

Sergey's blog post on the subject: http://too.blogspot.com/2009... - Tom Stocky

"You don’t spread ideas just because they are 'good;' you spread them because of some other trigger or set of triggers has been pulled in your brain. We can now compare millions of viral ideas to uncover the building blocks of contagiousness." - Tom Stocky

"It starts very simply. A virus, just one, latches on to one of your cells and fools that cell into making lots more. Lots, lots more, like a million new viruses. This animation shows you how viruses trick healthy cells to join the dark side." - Tom Stocky

"We know we can’t do it alone. The way we see it, it’s our job to build the technology not just to help our users explore the world around them, but to enable them to contribute to it, and for others to build upon it." - Avni Shah - Tom Stocky

I saw an ad for this on TV last night ... I can't believe it actually exists. You can choose between "determined" and "happy" options. - Tom Stocky

"And now in this the twentieth century come these talking and playing machines and offer again to reduce the expression of music to a mathematical system of megaphones, wheels, cogs, disks, cylinders, and all manner of revolving things which are as like real art as the marble statue of Eve is like her beautiful living breathing daughters." - John Philip Sousa, 1906 - Tom Stocky

Sadness. The Angels swept the Sox. Those 3 runs in the 9th were the first-ever scored against Papelbon in the postseason -- 27 scoreless innings until that point. - Tom Stocky

"Others have questioned the impact of the agreement on competition, or asserted that it would limit consumer choice with respect to out-of-print books. In reality, nothing in this agreement precludes any other company or organization from pursuing their own similar effort. The agreement limits consumer choice in out-of-print books about as much as it limits consumer choice in unicorns. Today, if you want to access a typical out-of-print book, you have only one choice — fly to one of a handful of leading libraries in the country and hope to find it in the stacks." - Tom Stocky

"A few of us at Google created WhatBrowser.org to help teach people about web browsers. We wanted to show people that they have a lot of choice in browsers, since we noticed that most people were using the browser their computers came with." - Tom Stocky

Considering how much time people spend in the browser, the choice of which one to use is becoming increasingly important. But it seems like we need to do a better job educating our less technical friends -- most people don't realize there's a choice to make. - Tom Stocky

"Less than 8% of people who were interviewed on this day knew what a browser was." - Tom Stocky

Pretty soon, the answer, "Google" will be a legitimate answer to the browser question. If they play their cards right with Chrome. - April Buchheit

"We've found that certain search terms are good indicators of flu activity. Google Flu Trends uses aggregated Google search data to estimate flu activity." More info on how it works at http://www.google.org/flutren... - Tom Stocky
