Got a Nokia smartphone? Search Google faster than... →
Posted by Robert Hamilton, Product Manager, Google mobile team At Google we like things that are fast: fast search, fast email, fast everything. In fact, we’re so in love with speed that we don’t even like the time it usually takes to launch a browser, head to Google and perform a search on our favourite Nokia smartphones. So, we decided to do something to speed it up. From today, if...

EyeClops Night Vision Goggles, My Secret Manhunt... →
The EyeClops Night Vision goggles let you see in total darkness using infrared lights, all while giving you that special Terminator look. Two attachments allow visibility 10 or 20 feet ahead—the 10-footers give off no light, the 20s show some small red dots. I tried them on in a pitch black room and saw every poster on the wall easily. They’re US$80, and they’ll be out sometime this...
Aquadom Is Largest Cylindrical Aquarium on the... →
What do you do with a 25-metre-high acrylic glass cylinder, 238,000 gallons of sea water, 2,600 fish from 56 different species, and two divers? The Aquadom, the largest cylindrical aquarium in the world, that’s what. In its core there’s an elevator that travels through a cylinder of glass. As you will see in the videos after the jump, it’s simply stunning.

The new KITT’s dashboard has been officially revealed, confirming the previously leaked image (in high resolution after the jump, along with a gratuitous—but necessary—photo of the new car and the Hoff at the Playboy Mansion) and Knight Rider’s producer David Bartis’ words about the interior design’s similarities with the iPhone:

BREAKING: MySpace Announces ‘Post to MySpace’ →
Our friends over at MySpace have sent over an announcement for a feature allowing you to promote your content with your MySpace profile. It is just about everything we’d want it to be if we were in charge of creating the project specifications, and it is an interesting and plainly useful feature for anyone who’s in the business (or hobby) of creating content of any kind out on the ‘Net.

Today, for all the moviegoers out there, we added a cool new feature to our search called the movie onebox. Now, rather than having to click through individual sites, you can see session times side by side for the cinemas in...
New Feature: Blog List →
Bloggers often feature a list of their favorite blogs, called a “blogroll,” in the sidebar of their own blog. Our latest page element, Blog List, helps you do just that, but we’ve mixed it in with Google Reader to make it even more powerful and useful. At its most basic, Blog List displays a list of links to your favorite blogs, with an optional icon. If you link to a blog with an Atom or RSS...

Nokia N96 Hands-On: Basically a Video Oriented N95... →
The N95 smartphone just does fine with its video playback. But the N96’s 16GB of internal memory, slightly bigger 2.8-inch screen, DVB TV tuner, special video browsing UI and kickstand make it better than its pappy. Note: The back of the phone has a new designer texture that we like a lot more than the now generic velvechron grip coating you see on a lot of handsets. We didn’t get to...

Mom's Perfect Pork Chops →
From the recipe archive. Sometimes the best food is really the simplest. We experiment frequently with different ways of preparing pork chops, but the way we have pork chops most regularly is with a simple dry rub and pan frying. My mother’s been making chops this way for years. We use a dry rub of my father’s, which requires some advance preparation (when you make some, you make more...

Huevos Rancheros →
One great benefit of growing up in California (LA actually) and having a Hispanic mother is being exposed at an early age to Mexican food. From the time I was 5 it was my job to prepare the salsa for the family. We have always had tortillas in the house like most people have bread in theirs. Consequently dishes that call for salsa and tortillas are likely to be prepared often, as we cook with...
Salsa Verde Carnitas →
Carnitas are the Mexican version of pulled pork. Braised first in a spicy sauce, pork shoulder is slow cooked until so tender the meat just shreds easily with a fork, then it’s roasted at high heat to make crispy browned bits full of flavor. It’s taco meat, burrito meat, or just stewy meat served with rice and beans. This version of carnitas is cooked first in a braise of tomatilla...
