Computer science news on Phys.org
http://www.google.com/ig

best homepage you can have

word of the day
quote of the day

That does Rock!
 
about:blank :(
 
Holy ****.. It is now http://www.google.com/ig

It was www.google.com..

It is, however, too bad that the google word of the day is the same as dictionary.com's. I wanted two different words!
 
about:blank here too. Although google.com/ig does look good.

Holy cow, you've opened my eyes. It was just plain old www.google.com. This is a revelation. I can even get my email on this.

What have I done

My homepage is and will remain my personal portal (it's database driven, so I can add links to it on the fly), but I will ensure that my first link on that page is now going to be http://www.google.com/ig

www.att.net

You'll have to scroll down to see all it contains.

Doesn't do nothing google can't do.

Except that it delivers the content to you, as opposed to you having to go hunt for it, and it has a google search at the bottom. Honestly, I don't use most of the things, for instance, I never go to movies :frown: so the link to current movies playing near me is not something I use. But if you have a life, this delivers a lot of current information and commonly used sites to your fingertips.

Well, google.com/ig can put all of that onto it, but you can chose exactly what you want, where you want it(you can move it around the page O.O )

So if you don't want the movies, you don't have to have it...

I actually just changed it to Google IG :!) a few hours ago, before reading this.
Previously it was livepage.apple.com :!) here, but at home it was mail.google.com :!)
