Saw a special on Google yesterday. I was unaware of the ability to track shipping just by plugging in the tracking number into Google. May be old news for most folks.

They were talking about the Google IPO as well. Seems most people are salivating over the idea of an IPO.

You do realize the inherent stupidity of what you just posted, right? :confused:

yup..... it makes firefox w/ the google box that much sweeter, (and ie w/ google bar). I also use that box for spell checking, a dictionary (define: word), and a calculator.

Oh sweet. I'm too lazy to go to their site and enter the tracking number. Google is so much faster. Nice find!

you don't need a toolbar for firefox. Instead of going alt-d -> "G xxx" for opera, all you need is ctrl-k->xxx in firefox. Saves 2 keypresses! :D
