That is right you heard me. While Google was making its Street View Rounds in Germany, they photographed a naked guy in his car trunk!

Google Street View Naked Guy in Trunk

Caught ya red handed buddy! Needless to say, the image is no longer up on the Google Street View page as it has been brought to Google’s attention one way or the other.

These Google Street View incidents just keep on happening… One thing is for sure, it provides the occasional chuckle.

Google Chrome 7 To Be 60 Times Faster – Firefox 4 Increases Speed Too

New GPU acceleration that will be available for Google Chrome 7 helps the browser become 60 times faster than Chrome 6, as reported by Google.

“This system picks the best graphics API to use on each OS that Chromium supports: Windows XP/Vista/7, Mac OS and Linux,” — James Robinson & Gregg Tavares, Chromium Blog

This will assist in not only 2D graphics, but 3D graphics as well. An example video of Google Chrome 7 can be seen below. While it doesn’t look particularly impressive, it certainly is assisting in helping the aquarium demo run at its maximum potential in FPS (frames per second). A stable build of Google Chrome will be available this fall, however the developer’s build is already available.

“We’re excited to give developers fast 2D graphics, but we think truly hardware accelerating graphics on the Web means giving developers access to a programmable 3D graphics pipeline with WebGL. With WebGL and 3D CSS, developers can create modern games, impressive photo galleries, 3D data visualizations, virtual environments, and whatever else they can dream up.”



Youtube adds Vuvuzela Noise Option to Videos

Youtube decided to add the option to play the Vuvuzela noise on all their videos. To activate it go to any video and hit the soccer icon on the bottom (towards the right side.) After that prepare for your ears to bleed! Want an example of when not to use the Vuvuzela? Just go to the Ninja Cat video I posted previously and turn it on.

*Update* The link has been fixed. This option isn’t on all videos.



Googe Voice Available to All Now

Google likes to release services left and right. For awhile, their service Google Voice has been invite-only for beta testing reasons. Well, that day has come to an end and now it’s available to everyone! It seems to be a really interesting service packed with features so I suggest checking out the official Google Voice website for more information.
