Get Wildcard Suggestions with a Google Autocomplete Trick
Google's autocomplete is a handy tool for both saving time and getting a feel for what people are searching. Reader scantorscantor points out a cool trick for getting a bit more from the autocomplete.
Normally, Google only autocompletes the end of a search query. If you type in a phrase and then delete the middle, though, it'll autocomplete at the place you deleted, leaving the end intact.
I am syncing my new iPhone! Hooray! (Except I really wish the iEmployee who I originally made the reservation with hadn't told me that I could pick up the phone on the next business day, because if I'd known that going to get it on a Sunday had been an option I would not have picked the 59th St store. Oh well.)
I need a name for this one. My previous iThings have all been shipboard computers - Dora, HAL, Holly. I'm considering Eddie for this one, but I'm open to suggestions.
Eddie is a good one.
There's also Minerva, Kendy, and Emerac!
I got the others, but what is "Eighteen Twelve" from?
It was a DRD on Farscape.
1812! man, i really need to do a Farscape rewatch.
especially if you have it play an 8 bit version of 1812 overture. Oh, that would be a high level of geek-dom. :: drool ::
