Welcome to Motherboard

Collapse

Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology. Rather than squinting at technology through the lens of gizmos and gadgetry, Motherboard explores the ways it influences and affects music, art, design, film, gaming, sports, issues surrounding the environment, and everything else we find important.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

Yes, it’s true that internet searching it allows us to find answers to our questions really quickly, and even learn new things).

But one of the world’s biggest gripes is that web searching only lets us ask one question at a time. That’s not really the future we were promised. One question at a time is for school.

But finally, the search engine has caught up to the future. Meet www.googlegooglegooglegoogle.com. Amazing. The only hard part is having to type in all those letters, but that’s not really a big deal if, like me, your interns do your searching for you.

The geniuses behind it have a lot of plans for the future too, and they need money (Google, are you listening??) “to make this a cool, free service.” Though I think we’d all gladly pay for this. Here’s what they say about the Eureka moment:

Alex and Erty were chatting on Google Talk one night, and Erty wondered if Googlegoogle.com was taken. He jokingly wondered if they could set up a search service for Google itself. Unfortunately, Googlegoogle.com was taken, but Alex pointed out that GoogleGoogleGooglegoogle.com was available. In an impulse buy, they purchased the domain (Alex already had some hosting) and someone had the idea of putting four Googles on the page. Thus, GoogleGoogleGoogleGoogle was born.

So I guess the search engine wars are basically over. I can finally tell my interns to delete Altavista from their bookmarks.

    My computer screen is to small for that. I will stick to tabs.
