Google Labs Gets Similar Images and Google News Timeline
I use Google Images as much as I use Google, but the one frustration I have is being able to find the exact photo I want (and therefore get stuck clicking through page after page). No more! Google Labs has a new search feature called Similar Images where you can find images that look like an existing photo by clicking a link below the image.
Three Cool New Google Features
Go Google, go! Aside from the amazing Gmail labs they've been whipping up, Google has also been on a roll with some exciting new Google Search features. Check out my slideshow to see what they are!
How to Search For Certain Colors in Google Images
Google Images is great for finding pictures of anything and everything — you can even check out millions of historic Time magazine photos — but what if you want to search for images by color?
We already know that Yahoo has a shop by color application that comes in handy when you're looking for an article of clothing in a particular color, but if you want to do a general color search for any object, that's when Google comes in handy.
All you have to do is tweak the search results for the URL.
Google Images Adds Millions of Historic TIME Magazine Photos
One thing that upsets me about Google Images is the fact that it's sometimes difficult to find older photos — hey, the Internet is only 39 years old. Google is trying to change this by hosting millions of photos from the LIFE photo archive from the 1950s and onward. Search various categories like people, places, events, sports, and culture or add "source:life" to any Google image search to only search the LIFE photo archive.
Google Adds Facial Recognition To Image Search
You've got to give this a try. It's almost as cool as Google's new streetside views feature, although it's a secret that's been kept on the down low. Say you want to find pictures of Hayden Panettiere (aka Claire Bennet) from the show "Heroes".

Help Make Google Image Search Better With Label Game
If you ever find yourself bored and eager to help Google or upset with Google Image search results, consider using the Google Image Labeler, which allows ordinary Googlers to label images and help improve the quality of Google Image search results.
If you opt to do it you will be randomly paired with a partner who is online and using the feature at the same time. Over a two-minute period, you and your partner will view the same set of images and be asked to provide as many labels as possible to describe each image you see.
Kristen Stewart Is an Avid Self-Googler
Unlike John Mayer who denies Googling himself, most of you have admitted to taking to the popular search engine site to see what the web has to say about you.
In November's issue of Allure magazine, New Moon star Kristen Stewart talks about her Googling habits. Like when she gets lost in her car and the paparazzi follow her every move, she says:
"After I come back from this interview, I'll look up and see what an idiot I looked like getting lost.
Google's Street View in Europe to Blur Images
When Google's Street View launches in Europe, photos will be modified to ensure that faces and license plates are not visible. In hopes of offering more privacy to the people who appear in the images, Google is also considering making the US version completely anonymous. Considering all the controversial images that have been posted on the site, they've certainly got their work cut out for them.Source
Why a Texting While Driving Ban Is Good For Tech Progress
In California, if you're caught chatting on the phone while driving, you're slapped with a $25 fine. Personally, I think that texting while driving is a much more dangerous offense — you may need to use both hands and are forced to take your eyes off the road.
Although the idea of a texting while driving ban has been discussed, there's no official law just yet.
