Mystery Google
Do not know who owned this site, but it was referring to Google.com, the popular search engine's
When we use this search site, then we will get a random result that the results can not be expected and not to the things we want.
No matter what you type into the query box at Mystery Google it serves up the results of someone else's search.
A search for "Twitter," for example, delivered links to websites about "cabbage."
The query "Joe Biden" resulted in pages about "jellyfish."
"Michael Jackson" served up links about "coiffure."
And so on.
There is one consistent result.
Type in the query "What is Mystery Google?" and the reply is "That is the site you are on."
The Mystery Google website has the spartan look of the traditional Google home page but the background is black as opposed to white and features a glowing moon at the top of the page.
It also bears the notice "Google is a trademark of Google Inc."
Windows 7 to salvage Vista 'train wreck'
SAN FRANCISCO - Microsoft is scheduled to release Windows 7 to the world on Thursday as the US software giant tries to regain its stride after an embarrassing stumble with the previous generation operating system Vista.
"It's a big deal for Microsoft," analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley said of the Windows 7 launch. "Windows Vista was a train wreck."
While computer users may not give much thought to operating systems that serve as the brains of their machines, the programs are at the heart of Microsoft's global software empire.
Microsoft operating systems run more than 90 percent of the computers on Earth.
Importantly for Microsoft, versions of its popular programs such as Office, Outlook and Excel evolve to work better with successive Windows releases.
Winning users of new Windows systems translates into increased sales of other packaged software for the Redmond, Washington-based company.
Vista's dismal reception in the market broke Microsoft's rhythm regarding hooking people on upgraded software.
Computer users held firm to Windows XP, shunning much-maligned Vista.
"Microsoft is still a packaged software company," Enderle said. "If people don't buy their updated packages, they feel it."
Microsoft apparently learned a lesson from Vista and worked closely with computer makers, users and software developers while crafting Windows 7.
More than eight million people have dabbled with Windows 7 since Microsoft began a beta test phase in January, according to Parri Munsell, director of consumer product management for the Windows client group.
Early reviews praise Windows 7 for being everything Vista should have been.
"We always listen to our customers, but we took an even more thoughtful and pragmatic process this time around," Munsell told AFP. "We feel really good that people have been trying it for themselves."
Windows 7 features winning raves include enabling computers, television, radios, digital picture frames and other "smart" devices in homes to talk to each other.
Windows 7 also lets people use PCs to record television programmes and then watch shows "on demand" at any Internet-linked computer using Microsoft's Live service.
Touch-screen capabilities built into Windows 7 should give birth to monitors that further blur lines between television sets and PCs, according to Munsell.
Microsoft's primary objective with Windows 7 was to simplify the lives of PC users, according to Munsell.
"This is going to be the next XP where it sticks around for a very long time,"
said analyst Matt Rosoff of Directions On Microsoft, a private firm focused on tracking the software firm.
"It performs well with a lot of hardware and software, and then it gets out of the way. It is not flashy, but it is solid."
He added that Windows 7 works "surprisingly well" on netbooks -- low-cost bare-bones laptop computers that have devoured market share in the recent grim economic times.
Windows 7 will be available pre-loaded on personal computers as of Thursday, and people who bought Vista machines in recent months will be able to upgrade free.
Upgrading a home computer to Windows 7 will cost from 120 US dollars to 220 US dollars, depending on the version.
As well-built as Windows 7 is, it probably won't boost consumer PC purchases, which depend heavily on the economy, according to Rosoff.
A lot of corporations clinging to Windows XP are expected to upgrade to Windows 7, but after Microsoft's new Office 2010 suite of business applications is released next year.
"This kind of gets Microsoft back on track with its core business," Rosoff said. "It is not going to be something that takes the world by storm, but it is a solid operating system that people will be relying on for years."
The failure of Vista to catch on hurt Microsoft competitively, giving Apple the opportunity to woo PC users to Macintosh computers.
Apple could benefit anew if PC users faced with switching operating systems go for Macintosh machines instead of Windows 7, according to analysts.
Microsoft has been faulted in the past for lacking the type of marketing pizzazz for which longtime rival Apple is famous. Microsoft has devoted an ample budget to advertising Windows 7.
Microsoft has already been lambasted for hokey online videos describing how people can throw Windows 7 launch parties in their homes.
Microsoft and television studio Fox announced that Windows 7 will be the theme of an animated "Family Guy" television show featuring "musical numbers, comedy sketches, and celebrity guests."
"The fact that Microsoft is trying new things is actually pretty unique," Enderle said. "They are going to try to show that Microsoft and innovative marketing is not an oxymoron."

Palm Centro Review
The Palm Centro smartphone represents Palm's smallest and lightest smartphone to date. In addition to a new form factor, this new smartphone also carries a new name, "Centro". Palm's reasoning behind the new naming convention is the Palm Centro is "central to everything in your life". In reality, Palm is looking to capture a new audience who may have associated the Treo brand with being too "clunky" or business-like. Either way, it's hard to deny the Centro's strong ties to the Treo smartphone and that's not such a bad thing.
Designed for the CEO of the household or the young executive, the Centro features an entirely new form factor at an entirely new price point. Billed as $99.99, the new Palm Centro comes in under $100 as you'll see advertised in various marketing channels. This price is dependant upon signing a 2-year agreement and a supporting $25 data plan. Compared with Verizon and AT&T, Sprint's data pricing is still relatively cheap compared to the competition. If you are new to smartphones, then don't let the requirement of data disuade you from considering the Centro. Any smartphone would require a data plan and it's necessary to get the most from a smartphone. Data is required for web, instant messaging and email - basically all the good stuff you'd expect from a capable smartphone.
Centro Certainly Pocketable
The Centro may not be as thin as other smartphones such as the Moto Q, but it is most definitely smaller. The Centro is flat out pocketable and it's best friend might be the front pocket of your favorite jeans. It also feels light and this can be partially attributed to the smaller battery and plastic shell casing. Carryovers from the Treo smartphone include the ringer switch at the top of the phone allowing you to easily switch the ringer to vibrate mode and vice versa. The buttons on the front of the Centro have the familiar Power/End Call and Answer Call buttons. Neslted in the middle of the device are buttons for Phone, Calendar, Email/Messaging and Home (Applications). The 5-way navigator is a departure from previous designs. The rim that allows for 4-way selection appears to be too thin, but I had no issue navigating as it's actually raised from the center button. Suprisingly, the center button despite being larger than the previous Treo buttons, is a bit more difficult to use. I found that due to it being recessed, I sometimes hit the rim of the 4-way selector. The silver panel across the center of the device allows for navigating the Centro along application selection and answering calls. The panel does not provide the same tactile feel found on the Treo. In the real world, this had very little impact on my usability, but worth noting as something Palm's product design group might want to tackle with future hardware modifications.
What About The Centro Keyboard?
Where the panel lacks tactile reinforcement, the keyboard certainly makes up for it. Palm uses what is called "sheet key technology". What that means to the average user is that Palm has found a way to put a miniscule, yet fully functional keyboard onto a very small form factor. I've mentioned tactile responsiveness often and it's because I feel it's important to the successful implementation of a QWERTY keyboard. The Centro keyboard is responsive and that makes typing much easier, faster and will result in less typos. I was able to type at a fairly brisk pace, with very few errors. Given my history with the Treo, when conducting my review, I was probably more focused on the keyboard than other features of the Centro. The keyboard is certainly not without it's faults. The keys feel cramped and you'll noticed very little extension of your thumbs while typing on the Centro. On Treo smartphones, there is certainly more movement of your thumbs. That in mind, I'd be hesistant to say the keyboard is a deal breaker. If you are new to smartphones, the Centro keyboard will be a major upgrade when compared to standard 12-key wireless phone. If you are a Treo user considering the move to Centro, then it would certainly depend on your usage patterns and quite honestly the size of your hands. In making a small device, there are trade-offs that are unavoidable and the Centro keyboard is one. Thankfully, Palm has done a great job squeezing in a very responsive, tactile keyboard that is quite good onto a super small smartphone.
Centro Design
This is not your father's Treo, or at least not yet. Palm's peppy taglines speak of happy hours and in general "good times". The Centro ushers in this new era of Palm smartphones in two splashy colors. Ruby Red and Black Onyx are glossy colors that are accented with a touch of sparkle. The colors look as if they were inspired by a classic 50's diner. Even the device itself has a sort of retro feel to it. The design, while new, is certainly not something you'd see from Jonathon Ives. If this device were twice the size, you could make a case it was an old Handspring design that never left the drawing board until now. With the glossy finish comes a slick finish. While the trend in smartphones had shifted to rubberized coatings, Palm has bucked the trend with the Centro. According to Palm's product manager for the Centro, he reasoning behind this decision was to make the Centro "pocketable" and it certainly hits the mark. In addition to being pocketable, the Centro is a joy to hold. Pardon the pun, but the Centro fits nicely in the palm of your hand. Grabbing my keys, wallet and Centro didn't weigh me down at all.
Accessorizing the Centro
Those considering the Centro as an upgrade from the Treo will find that "most" of their accessories will work with the Centro. It features the Athena multi-connector allowing you to use your existing Treo chargers and hot sync cables. The device uses microSD, so you will not be able to utilize your existing memory expansion cards. Those planning on utilizing the Centro as a multimedia device will want to invest in a microSD, as opposed to storing your media on the device. The Centro supports microSD cards up to 4GB. Accessing the card slot required the removal of the battery door, which is a bit tricky with the glossy surface. On a positive note, this will prevent you from accidental loss of your memory card.
To keep costs down, Palm did not include a wired headset. For most, your existing Bluetooth headset will make you forget about the omission. Other cost cutters include the flimsy stylus. There are times when you will need to use a stylus to select onscreen icons when surfing the web or using other applications on the Centro. The included stylus, in all it's bright red glory, is certainly usuable but bends too easily. When accessorizing your Palm Centro, include a few dollars for an upgrade to your Centro stylus. Both the Treo 650 and Treo 700 series styli do not fit the Centro.
Battery life was surprisingly good during my testing period. I deliberately failed to charge my Centro each night and it lasted a few days of moderate calls, web surfing, IM and Sprint TV. Your mileage will vary, but overall battery life was more than sufficient for my needs. Power users will have to wait for extended battery solutions that will invarably become available in the next few weeks or months ahead.
Software Shines In Small Package
It's very appropriate that the title of this site is Everything Centro, as you can do most everything on the Centro. The software bundle is robust and almost identical to what's included on Palm's flagship model, the more expensive Treo 755p. The Palm OS is certainly showing its age, but this has allowed a certain refinement of the OS not found in other smartphones. When making a smartphone purchased, you'll be hard pressed to find this compliment of features and most certainly cannot be had at under $100.
Threaded SMS offers chat-style text messaging
Included Docs To Go allows document editing/reading of Microsoft Office documents
IM application provides integration of AIM, Messenger and Yahoo allowing you to be logged into all three services at once
Phone application offers feature allowing you to "Ignore with text", so if you are unable to take a call you can respond with a text message.
Streaming live TV using SprintTV (data plan required). Some minor buffering issues, but good quality picture is excellent "time killer". Expect to pay extra for assorted channels that are not included.
Full version of PocketTunes which is arguably the best MP3 player for the Palm OS
GoogleMaps
Sodoku
Voice Memo
Of course in addition to these apps, the Centro also offers an email client and web browser. While the web browser is fast, it is the "mobile web". To date, the only mobile device to offer a desktop like web experience has been the iPhone. Still, for access to sports scores, news and more, the web browser will offer fast and easy access. As long as you don't expect the "full version" of a website, you will not be disappointed.
With age, comes applications. There are thousands of available applications that extend the capabilities of the Centro. Most are available as free trial software, allowing you to try before you buy. In addition, there are plenty of free software applications for the Centro and this is certainly one of the advantages of an open platform.
Overall
While the Palm Centro probably will not win any smartphone beauty contests, the true beauty of the device lies in its size and feature-set. Palm has repacked their "smartphone experience" in a truly pocketable device. When the Treo is working late, the Centro is at happy hour and that's exactly where Palm hopes it's next generation of customers lie. While the Centro certainly evokes memories of the Treo, the new form factor is a distinct departure. If you are an existing Treo owner, the trade-off is simple. The Centro offers a similar experience in bite-size format, but expect some minor frustrations with the keyboard during extended typing sessions. If this is your first smartphone, you'll find the full QWERTY keyboard to be a major upgrade from a 12-key cellphone and the small form factor to be an extremely palatable solution. While some Treo accessories will work, existing Treo owners and new Palm users should expect to add costs for various accessories including case, replacement stylus and microSD memory expansion card. With a robust software package, new pocketable design and aggressive price point of $99.95, Palm's Centro smartphone represents an excellent value for first time smartphone buyers.

Transformers 2
In “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” two years have passed since Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and the Autobots saved the human race from the invading Decepticons. Now he's preparing for the biggest challenge of his life: leaving home for college.
Despite his extreme heroics, the battle of Mission City has become an urban legend believed only by conspiracy theorists. Sam is still an average teenager with everyday anxieties and excitement about heading off into adulthood, separating from his parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White) for the first time, and vowing to be faithful to girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox). Of course, he also has to explain his departure to his guardian robot, Bumblebee.
Leaving home is something the Autobots understand only too well. With the destruction of the Allspark, the Transformers home planet of Cybertron is uninhabitable, and the Autobots make the best of their lives on earth, working in league with the military as part of a TOP SECRET team called NEST. Operating alongside their human counterparts, field commanders Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel) and USAF Master Sergeant Epps (Tyrese Gibson), the NEST TEAM seeks to hunt down whatever remaining Decepticons are still hiding on earth. Unfortunately, even as the Autobots try to make a new life among humans, they discover they may not be welcome.
National Security Advisor Theodore Galloway (John Benjamin Hickey), driven to prove that all Transformers should be banished from earth, endeavors to terminate NEST, believing the Autobots’ very presence may endanger the human race. Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, agrees to leave our planet if the governments of the world wish it... but he warns Galloway to consider what happens if the Autobots leave earth defenseless.
Meanwhile at school, Sam adjusts to his pushy, legend-in-his-own mind roommate, Leo (Ramon Rodriguez), and an equally aggressive temptation in the form of a new co-ed, Alice (Isabel Lucas). Sam does his best to navigate college life, until suddenly he’s besieged by visions flashing across his brain like thunderbolts. The Decepticons soon learn what Sam doesn’t know; that he alone holds the key to the outcome of the struggle between evil and the ultimate power of good.
A normal life will have to wait. With the help of the Autobots, the soldiers of NEST, and an old adversary-turned-ally (John Turturro, returning as former Sector 7 Agent Simmons), Sam and Mikaela must uncover the secret history of the Transformers presence on earth, and the sacrifices that have to be made to save it from an ancient threat sworn on returning here for revenge... an ancient Decepticon named THE FALLEN.
