Google Goggles Help You Keep Your Dignity

Dear Google, Thanks for a Glimpse in the Past!

In celebration of Google's 10th birthday they decided to give us all an awesome glimpse into the past. What they've gone and done is bring back the search engine just like it was in 2001.

Gmail Labs Gets Three More Features

Remember those Gmail Labs features that Google launched back in June? They included features for Gmail like mouse gestures, the option to choose from additional star icons, and more.
