It really is so cool, isn't it? Just so fabulously thoughtful and wise.

Wow, although creating a search system that's become #1 in the nation might be considered "brilliant" as well...


...this is still very awesome indeed. :)


Not sure why they called it Google Goggles, though...should be called Railings or at least Safety Net instead. (Ok, I'll admit...neither of those previous names have much appeal in them, but hopefully you get the point)

If this worked for SMS messages, I'd be more impressed. So, if you get home in one piece and log in to your computer, you can prevent yourself from sending a stupid message?

Does it work on smartphones? I think it's more useful if you stop yourself while at the bar.

personally, I'm more impressed with their mapping functions and search engines. But then, I don't need googles, beer or google brand.
