Feeling Lucky Google search in Firefox
For you Firefox users, try this. Type some words to search in the URL box atop the browser (not the Google search box). When you hit return, it automatically takes you the the Google I'm feeling lucky search result web page.

Google Print
Google Print is something else. I saw it demonstrated at Google's Analyst Day. Very powerfull full text search of books. It's incorporated into the basic google search. A9 has a simliar search tool for books sold on Amazon but you have to sign into the service to use it. To try it, simple do a regular google search. Do a search for something like books about Japanese food and you'll see books at the top of the search results. Your can then do further searching within the book. Your terms are yellow highlighted. And you can flip through the pages.

Firefox Browser
If you haven't tried it yet, I'd highly recommend downloading Firefox
browser. I now use it for all my non-work related browsing.
I continue using IE for work related design and testing as all our
clients continue to use IE. I wonder how the
corporate world conversion to Firefox is going. IT may not be too
thrilled about supporting multiple browsers on a machine, but if it
saves on security fix related costs, I'm sure they'd be more than happy
to load it on their corporate PCs.
It's so nice to surf NY Times and other sites and not worry about
popups and I love using the extensions you can add and build,
like Sage RSS Reader, and the Weather Channel constantly updated on your browser boarder.
