Strange Google Links

There are tons of pages hiding on the Google servers. And they are just waiting for you to visit them. Neil Patel has a nice little archive going of Google's lost treasures. Including a list of I don't know how many thousands of Britney Spears misspellings caught by Google. Some fun Google games. Google Moms tribute. And a look at a Google Bangalore employees life.


Google Hacks

We love Google hacks. And this site has a ton of them. Everything from a Google news map, Google Date searching, Google visual poetry, Google Sharing, and a Google battle. This site has a great set of time wasters.


Google's Test Automation Conference is coming up

The Test Automation conference hosted by Google is coming up fast. September 7th - 8th in Google's London office, close to Buckingham Palace. The conference is targeted around providing solutions for the automated software testing and quality assurance fields. There are going to be some great speakers, and presentation going on.

Topics include:

• Making the most of impoverished test suites.
• Building distributed systems is hard. Testing them is harder.
• Automated Testing on Mobile Handsets
• Testing Metro-WiFi – Automation Tools and Techniques

There is only one catch. You must apply to attend the conference. And the due date for applications is July 28th. You must let Google know what you expect to learn from this conference, and specific issues you wish the speakers to address. As well, Google wants you to send examples of technologies and projects you are working on. This will ensure only the best and most serious individuals will be in this conference.


Google Airport Mashups

Ever wonder how much CO2 our flight outputs into the air? This site will calculate that for you.

Airport parking is a giant hassle. This site helps you to compare and find airport parking facilities across the US.
