			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google never ceases to amaze me.  Have you ever found yourself trying to find a picture via <a href="http://images.google.com" target="_blank">Google Image Search</a> and you just can&#8217;t get what you want?  You may see one picture that&#8217;s pretty close to what you want, but not quite there.</p>
<p><a href="http://similar-images.googlelabs.com/" target="_blank">Google Similar Images</a> to the rescue!  It allows you to choose an image from your search and find similar images based on it.  Seems to work quite well.  Have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For quite a while now (read: several years) I have wondered why Google&#8217;s personalized home page had the address www.google.com/<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight:bold;">ig</span>.  Of course, I should have noticed long before today that the &#8220;ig&#8221; stood for &#8220;iGoogle,&#8221; Google&#8217;s name for the personalized home page.</p>
<p>What is interesting, however, is that the url was www.google.com/ig well before the home page was called &#8220;iGoogle.&#8221;  It used to be called something along the lines of &#8220;Google Personal.&#8221;  Which is why, at that time, it was very confusing that the url ended in &#8220;ig.&#8221;</p>
<p>With the advent of &#8220;iGoogle&#8221; it all becomes clear, but I wonder why Google took so long to change the name to match the URL.  Any ideas?  The only one I can think of is that Google wanted to ensure that Apple wouldn&#8217;t get mad at it for using an &#8220;i-&#8221; name.</p>
