Gay Pride, by Google.

Until now, it seemed Google could doodle no wrong. Now, some critics contend Google's hidden rainbow illustration casts a cloud over Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. To celebrate gay pride in June, Google has placed a little rainbow next to its search bar that pops up when users type in terms like “gay,” “lesbian,” “homosexuality,” “LGBT,” “marriage equality,” “bisexuality” and “transgender.”

The hidden doodle "should keep the six-color rainbow, a symbol universally associated with gay pride ever since San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker created it 33 years ago, from appearing on the pages of those who are still opposed to gay rights. And keep Google from having to deal with any backlash,"

Technology: Google brings speech to search iPhone application

Voice commands on the phone aren't quite new to us now,but searching Google using your voice from your phone is something really new to us. The best thing is that you can use it and it's here,but the bad part is it's only available for the Apple’s iPhone. This feature might reach the Android market soon, but there isn’t any quick chance for markets such as Symbian.



It's quite easy to use the application.The application can answer location related questions (Finding the nearest Starbucks), give driving directions, respond to generic questions, and even search local data from the address book.It will record your voice, upload it to a Google Server via the data connection, process the data, and then return the results. Now, you may think that this process will take a long time but actually, the reports state it’s actually very quick. While not very perfect at this point, the new Google feature will be improved and will become big soon for sure.

The app will be free and might be available to download as soon as Friday
