I was all ready to get out my credit card and give Google some money. This might be the first time!
Then I see the small print…

Very cool…
…version 2001
If you’re going to fail…
…fail in style.
“You have reached the error page for the error page…”
Life’s a pig when…
…you’re working on a blog that revolves around people doing technical jobs and the job gets technical.
Surely Google is aiming their product at the webapp-coding world; apparently they’re aiming for my Grandmother…

If you leave too long between the beta and the product…
…someone copies your tool.
Look around by Google
And they managed to do this without breaching a patent?
Google recognizes some faces…
Google Maps now recognizes faces and blurs them so that you can’t see them. Fantastic technology but…
…why doesn’t it blur the faces in the adverts in these images? Does the recognition system need a body?
