Google Launches ‘The Google’ For Older Adults

Views: 0

The popular search engine Google announced plans Friday to launch a new site, TheGoogle.com, to appeal to older adults not able to navigate the original website’s single text field and two clearly marked buttons.

“The Google will have all the same information currently found on regular Google, but with the added features of not stealing your credit-card numbers or giving your computer all kinds of viruses,” said Rick Tillich, The Google project director. “All you have to do to turn the website on is put the little blinking line thing in the cyberspace window at the top of the screen, type ‘thegoogle.com,’ and press ‘return’ – although it will also recognize http.wwwthegoogle.com, google.aol, and ‘THEGOOGLE’ typed into a Word document.”

Tillich added that he hopes the site will soon replace Yahoo Internet Website.com as the most popular search engine for users over 55

Updating the blog

Views: 1

No, not with new posts, but the backend software… I’ve been getting a ridiculous amount of spam via the comments feature, and finally had enough. So I’ve updated to WordPress 2.12 and added the akismet plug-in in the hopes of eliminating all of the gibberish coming through. So if anyone would leave real comments (hint hint), I may actually see them now!

BTW, the return of the baby countdown (and the obligatory explanation post) is coming shortly.

Let Me Blow Ya Mind

OK, so the classic Rubik’s Cube wasn’t particularly difficult once you knew the patterns. Rubik’s Revenge (A 4×4 cube) was significantly harder. But I have no idea what to make of this:

Magic Cube 4D

If that weren’t brain-twisting enough, how about a Rubik’s Cube with five dimensions? And three people have actually solved it – I can only imagine what kind of mutants they are.

Bye Bye Blogger

Views: 3

After four years of using Blogger, it’s time for a change. I’ve switched over to WordPress, since I can host the entire thing on my website, and it’s far more customizable (I particularly like the Categories feature). So now the new address is 3nv7.com – the old address will still get you here as well.
