New Google search

[Gentle Ben]

very interesting new Google search,
still in Beta. As you type in a question or search word it tries to
Keep one step ahead of you. For instance, if you start to type in TERB or Toronto it will start looking up things starting with the letters you
Type then when you get further, closer to finished it will already start
giving you SUGGESTIONS.

interesting

Goobers are the chocolate covered peanuts they used to have in movie theaters.
I do not think they have anything with nuts; you would want any nutrition to come from junk food

That Google is neat though

Firefox has had this embedded in the google search for a while. It first gives any of your previous searches that match then online ones based on net wide search frequencies.

This neat Google feature was on the Linux version of Firefox for some time also.

Talking about searches it it possible for someone to get your
approximate location based on your cell phone #. While calling
a friend recently I accidentally pressed a key that gave me the exact
intersection where his house is located! I am not sure
which key ( or combination of keys) I pressed, all I remember was a message
on my phone saying "GPRS is active".

Yes.
In fact many cell phones in the US have a GPS function that gives your EXACT location. Assume this is possible in Canada also.

The feature your referring to is offered by Bell AFAIK and is done using coordinates of the cell towers surrounding you ( aka A-GPS). The GPRS connection is used for data transfer, which will carry the info of the closest intersect your at.

Last time i checked, Rogers didn't offer this feature. Bell calls it Seek and Find (previously called MyFinder)

I don't know the shortcut keys since i am not a BM user but you can find it in the menu of your phone
