Interesting little quirk, search for 'gmail' and look at the results. Nostalgia of proportions only a true geek would appreciate.

You know, I didn't appreciate the magnitude of what they did until trying out your suggestion. I didn't realize that they'd literally gone back to the old search index . . . I thought it was just a superficial change.

Try "Al-Qaeda".

The index is pegged at ~= 9mth prior to 911. I know it's of questionable taste but it's an interesting exercise to see what public information google indexed. Or try http://www.google.com/search2001/search?hl=en&q=pixar+Wa...

Totally interesting.

Bin Laden is interesting all right. By '99 he was #456 on the FBI's most wanted list ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_Ten_Most_Wanted_Fugitives,_... and now on the Tango watchlist ~ http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm
