Impressive! I am sitting in my couch – 12:14 AM and it felt like there was an earthquake. Let’s check:

Google search: Earthqake
… misspelled, but Google noticed:
Earthquake

the first result is the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program-Northern California two clicks into the site I can see a real-time map of quakes in California – another click an I am zoomed into the San Francisco map of quakes – confirmed, I just felt a quake of 4.3 on the Richter Scale. It occurred in Santa Rosa at at 12:09:34 AM

I commented in March about the fact that there is no Google for Dummies book so far – I just read that Wiley is going to publish Google for Dummies! It will be published in September. A second Google book “Google Pocket Guide” will also be published in June.
