Google Give Searchers 'Instant Previews' of Result Pages 252
First pressing 'Enter' was to much work... now actually clicking on the links and visiting the sites is to much, too... Google is testing instant previews, where you can see a miniature rendered view of the landing page without requiring you to click through and back-arrow.

I'm holding out for Quantum Google, which displays instantly every single web page that does and could ever exist. That way I'll never need to search for anything ever again!

Um, yes, I'd hope that Google Instant was censored because who wants to type in something innocent and have it come up with a porn site? Do you really want to be searching for something like "Sexual Harassment Lawsuits" and simply have all the sites for "sex" or "sexual" come up whenever you type them?
Yes, yes I do.

right. Its bad enough when the first link from google on (a bit of obscure JS/CSS/browser compatability issues) links to a BMEzine forum and you don't realize it until you notice the user icons and signatures. Was a helpful thread though, contained a lot of useful info, and some squicky stuff requiring brain bleach.

In older machines, as the metal wears and clearancesgrow, it's often a good idea to use a thicker lubricant to speed things up. I recommend 5W-40 Delvac 1.

It's funny. No matter what I search for, if I'm searching Google Images with Safe Search off, there's porn. And not even "Rule 34: if it exists, there's porn of it" stuff--just totally random porn that has nothing to do with my search. It's like Google is saying "I don't care what you're doing, wouldn't you rather be looking at porn?"
And the answer, of course, is usually "Um, sure, OK." And then there goes two hours.
