      Now that is a nice use of all the data google collects. I wonder if google can predict the number of murders in a given state by tracking the usage of key search terms (kill, gun, knife, stab, clean up blood, remove finger prints, etc). Then if you track it by IP you could predict when someone using a certain computer was about to commit a crime, and arrest them before they did it[^].....Oh....hang on...think I've taken things slightly too far again.

        They could just be looking for a good laundry detergent ... remember the Tide commercial?

          There have to be literally thousands of possibilities similar to this one. Kinda motivates me to find something where there seems to be nothing in some of my companies data. Probably would get fired though.

            Cool! Looks like the bug is already busy in the barefoot belt.
