Big Brother Google
Google has added a "Big Brother" service to their search engine, but it's a good one. It's the style of brother that tells you not to pilfer from the cookie jar when mom's back is turned. He's just looking out for your best interests, but if you want to nab a snack anyway and run the risk, he's not going to stop you.
Google announced their sponsorship of the StopBadWare.org project back in January, but didn't launch the integration of the service until 4 August 2006. They didn't announce the new feature via their blog, which is why it caught me by surprise when I was searching on MC Chris lyrics.
