Google & YouTube Present: Conan O'Brien

[YouTube - Link]


It may be long (nearly 50 minutes), but Conan’s recent appearance at Google was full of insight, hilarity, and general Conan-ness.

At one point (around 23:30) he leaves the stage to let an audience member touch his hair. This is shortly after his "impression of rapper Ludacris" after being asked about Jay Leno.

The program was hosted by Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering, who allowed Conan to poke fun at him, Google, and anything else.

Google Images Search

Here's a nice trick that you may or may not know of. Suppose you want to search for images of faces with Google Images. Nothing else, just faces. Here's what you do. Let's say you want pictures of anyone named Daisy.

Go to Google, click on Images. Type Daisy in the search bar and press Search. You'll see a lot of pictures of flowers. Look at the address bar at the top of your browser. Click at the back of the link, add this: &imgtype=face and press Search again (or press Enter).

There you go, just faces of people. You can do this with every search request. Of course, this is also possible if you go to 'Advanced Image Search' and click on either 'any content,' 'news content,' or 'faces.' LINK: Presurfer
