Ahh, Google…how you continue to amaze me. Search results aside, it has always been magical, at least some of the stuff you do.

I’ll leave the whole Google Wave thing and Buzz and even Nexus One out of all this.

They all sort of worked a little bit, but nothing like Google Earth, Google Maps and Gmail. Each one of those products could a company make (not to mention a small fortune in fees), but no, not you Google. You give them away and I love you for it.

Hi quality virtual globe with details (enough to pick out naked people) that would make a CIA spook jealous? (Okay one from 1950’s. Today, the CIA can pick-out your need for Selson Blue or Head And Shoulders). Genius. Oh, and make it so I can search and find the nearest joint to get my smoothie fix? Freakin’ Alien technology genius.

Free e-mail with unlimited storage (okay, whatever gigs and counting) was the best thing you ever did. Cloud storage to the masses…you own it Google.

But here you go, rockin’ our world with Google Instant. Search results as I type? Out of this world genius. So out of this world that it’s weirding me out. It’s like, you Google, can read my mind. I get what I’m looking for even before I know what I’m looking for. I used to think tab completion was uber cool. But no longer. Tab completion on-line is what Google Instant is.

No doubt millions of people have tried it already. And if they don’t walk away saying “Bing what?” they’re crazy.

You Google, get the gold star today. You’ve convinced me that you can still innovate in the search engine business.

…And only those Aliens from Vega Prime know how you do all your magical tricks. (I’m on to you!!!)

(Editor’s Note: We’re firm in our belief that Google is a form of alien invasion. Slowly working it’s way into our lives. I mean, who’s kidding who here? Don’t lie Google. Admit it. Even that Bloom Energy you’ve got powering your data centers is a form of clean fusion technology. You know it is.)

(Editor’s Note II: Really? You believe us when we tell you that we think Google’s a bunch of aliens? Seriously? Then I got not one, but TWO uncles in Nigeria that need to borrow $10,000 from you so they can release funds held by the government ($1 million dollars each!) for which they’d gladly share 30% with you. Just write to i.ama.shcmuk@techbucketblog.com for more info.)
