    That Gday is really cool technology. I think I'll add a link on my web site tomorrow.

    However, I wonder if the developers took into account the fact that searching on the internet is actually faster if your search goes from left to right? By this, I mean that electrons flow faster in the same direction in which the earth is rotating. For example, if I did a search from where I live on the east coast of the US towards England and the Greenwich Meridian, the rate of searching would be faster than if I searched in the other direction towards the west coast and Australia.

    What do you think?

    hmm, interesting technology... Google continues to amaze me!

    jimw surely it works faster the other way? if I send something from the uk to america the electrons barely have to move because the earth moves america towards them!!

    jimw - minisweeper has a point; i had assumed you were correct in what way the earth turns i hadn't even thought about it.

    did you guys also hear about the dialect translation google started doing in south korea?

    I also like the customtime. That would help me out especially when my boss tells me that I never sent him an email.

    Thanks for correcting me on the earth rotation direction.
