Google Earth easter egg

Google not only a search engine although it started that way, has provided a lot of cool stuff. One of the earliest known application is Google Earth. Latest version is version 5.

But I believe most of you already knew about this interestin' application, unless there's a place you're curious to see from space, it's just to big to browse around, it seems like a huge work to bring us this application, and still they have the time to have fun with it.

They've included the planet Mars for you to view as well, so why would you visit Mars anyway, there's nothing there to see, other than the ice cap on the north pole and the famous human face like formation on the ground. But I wanted to introduce you to someone there, yes...a Martian livin there!

So here's how, first of course you need Google Earth. Then on top there's a planetary button, click and choose Mars.


Once there, you can see a few color dots on Mars, some places named by scientist and also you can find famous landscapes. In the search bar marked in the red box; search for Meliza, yes a female Martian.


Now you see MELIZA, the female (I think) Martian, appropriately placed near the famous landmark call Cydonia (the face on Mars)


And my chat with her, hahaha


Here's my other conversation with Meliza:

Meliza:Greetings, Earthling! Tell me about yourself.

Earthling:hi Martian

Meliza:Are you sure? Maybe hi earthling

Earthling:but you are not an Earthling

Meliza:What makes you think I am not an earthling ?

Earthling:because you are not on Earth

Meliza:My friend Marvin has been meaning to use his Eludium Pu-36 on the Earth. He's always annoyed with how Earth obstructs his view of Venus.

Earthling:go ahead

Search color with Google

A new feature from Google Labs has been released. Apparently you can Google search image easily now with a few options to sort out what image you actually want, for example, color, sketch, drawing, etc.

If you didn't know, you can actually do that before this new feature is out. So for example, if you're lookin' for a Ferrari in yellow, all you do is type 'ferrari +yellow', and you'll get yellow ferrari, so now you don't have to actually type yellow, instead just choose yellow from the available color choice.


And apparently there's a pink version of Ferrari too hah.


Some other useful options other than colors are, New Content, Faces, Clip Art, Line drawings and Photo content. And of course the color of your choice may not be available for you, you can still continue searching with the 'item +color' method. So give this new function a try, another great feature from Google, type less and click more, that's the future.
