Neat Google Search Feature

So I was tooling around with Google today, and noticed a neat feature in their search. If you type the name of a celebrity or well known person followed by eye color, the first result is indeed their eye color. This can also be done with other attributes like height, weight, ethnicity, hair color. I wonder what other little nuggets it has about people. I already know about google profiles, but I wonder what else you can search on about a person.

I want the Asus Eee Keyboard

I’m always looking for ways to integrate a computer into my living space, but not have it look out of place. The Asus Eee Keyboard is pretty good camouflage, it looks like it’s only a keyboard, but it’s really a full fledge computer (well, except for a optical drive). It connects wirelessly to your HDTV. For what I’d do with it in my living room (maybe some web browsing, email, etc.) it’s not bad.  Of course, now that I’ve got a bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected to my PS3, maybe I don’t need this, but I still want it

Groovy New Power Strips

I saw these today on my wanderings around the internets. We definitely need new ideas when it comes to power outlets and power strips. Everything has a different sized plug or wall wart.

New Tab Screen for Firefox?

I found this today while perusing through my feed reader. Aza’s got some interesting ideas on what should happen when you open a new tab in Firefox. His ideas are pretty well thought out, like place a search bar in the empty tab window, including results from your awesome bar, contextual actions (did you just copy an address? let me show you a map), and showing sites you routinely visit.

Usually when I’m opening a new tab, it’s through middle clicking a link to open in a new tab. I do think the search box will be handy, though. If I use the search bar at the top, I most always want the results in a new tab anyways. I’m all for making the browser smarter, something that learns how you use it and becomes optimized for YOUR workflow.
