Google Vid

Twelve weeks with geeks is on google video - trailer here, feature-length for purchase here.

I particularly like the google vid query syntax,

geeks is:forsale

Will give you the feaure-length version. It's more intuitive (natural language) than some of the queries you have to come up with on google search proper,

"parent directory " MP3 -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums [artist] [title]

On the other hand, google video frames its credit card form, forcing you to think twice about the SSL nature of the transaction.

Boo google.

In case you'd missed it - Google Earth is now on OS X. I managed to locate my grandparent's place in New Delhi. That's something.

Note: Google video purchases are still US only. Complete bummer.

Tried to find my mother's village in southern France. They located the mountain alright, but wouldn't zoom in even to see the trees.
