I must say I am very impressed. It has speech to speech translation for many languages. Now you can always find a bathroom in another country. Not all languages are supported, but I am sure they will be adding more soon. I this app a 10 out of 10. There is only one flaw I hope they do fix, there is no support for Klingon!]]> http://maxfenig.com/google-translate-app-for-the-iphone/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/bing-powered-by-google/ http://maxfenig.com/bing-powered-by-google/#comments Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:02:19 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=1114 Looks like Bing has been using old Google search results and got caught. Google went about trapping them in a very clever way, wonder how all this will play out.]]> http://maxfenig.com/bing-powered-by-google/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/google-please-scan-in-census-records/ http://maxfenig.com/google-please-scan-in-census-records/#comments Mon, 05 Jul 2010 23:35:12 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=990 http://maxfenig.com/google-please-scan-in-census-records/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/google-rube-goldberg/ http://maxfenig.com/google-rube-goldberg/#comments Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:19:46 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=970 Google’s latest doodle is a mashup between the 4th of July and Rube Goldberg and it’s animated. Well done Google!]]> http://maxfenig.com/google-rube-goldberg/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/playable-pac-man-google-doodle/ http://maxfenig.com/playable-pac-man-google-doodle/#comments Fri, 21 May 2010 15:45:37 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=913 Google just unveiled a Pac-Man doodle that you can actually play on Google.com. Their blog post Celebrating PAC-MAN’s 30th birthday says it is playable for the next 48 hours, hopefully they’ll keep a playable archive around forever. And since the Google’s post says first-ever playable doodle, hopefully there may be a second, and third, etc. UPDATE #1: Google’s tweet says there are 256 levels UPDATE #2: Google’s Playable Pacman is now occupying 3 of the top 10 trending topics worldwide on Twitter.

UPDATE #3: Google announced that the Pac-Man doodle will be permenately available. Thanks Google!]]> http://maxfenig.com/playable-pac-man-google-doodle/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/topeka/ http://maxfenig.com/topeka/#comments Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:58:30 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=712 Yay for the best search engine Google, I mean Topeka. That’s right folks Google has changed their name to Topeka.

I am too, there appears to be an outage right now.

Update: 4:32pm EST – Looks like it is back up]]> http://maxfenig.com/gmail-down/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/dont-be-evil/ http://maxfenig.com/dont-be-evil/#comments Wed, 13 Jan 2010 20:35:52 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=428 Google has just updated Google Docs (for some users, the rest of us coming soon) To allow users to upload any file type they want onto Google Docs, up to a 250 MB file. That’s really convenient especially since you can share files with other users. Does this mean a name change is imminent as well, since it now won’t really be just docs? More importantly Google.cn will no longer be censoring their search results. That’s a big bold move, from a big bold company. One would hope that this would lead to radical changes in China as well.]]> http://maxfenig.com/dont-be-evil/feed/ 0
