Google is REALLY watching now. John Battelle blogs: Not content to lease data from others who have satellites, Google today launched its own satellite into space. (Via BeetTv, thanks Andy.) Talk about web meets world....this is yet another indicator of the integration of virtual and physical. And it brings Google one step closer to what I think could be the company's Waterloo - a viral meme that Google is sensing too much, knows too much, ...

With all the talk about Google Chrome traffic and the future of the Web, we thought we’d take a look back at the past and just how far some online services have evolved. Our first Q-Rewind stop is in November of 1998, when a couple of dudes from Stanford set up a small search engine. The home page looked a little less high-tech than what we know now.

Mac OS X only: As its name suggests, free application DesktopLyrics automatically embeds lyrics on your desktop to the song you're currently listening to in iTunes. It's a simple app that does exactly what it says, but what it doesn't do is actually download lyrics—meaning that if you don't have the lyrics already embedded in the song's metadata, DesktopLyrics won't display anything. Luckily previously mentioned GimmeSomeTune automatically does just that (along with album art and ...
