Google

The Internet has been buzzing over the prospect of Google's Project Glass. It's mainly due to the fact that the glasses make people look like an extra from the set of 'Back to the Future Part II.' Now it seems that Google has been officially testing the prototype in the field with some of their biggest names in the beta testing chair.

There has been two general reactions to Google's 'Project Glass.' The first is that the internet connected augmented reality glasses are pretty frickin' cool. The second is that they are certain to cause all sorts of walking accidents. Jimmy Kimmel took on the new technology on Thursday night. You can probably guess which reaction the comic focused on.

Google's "Project Glass," augmented reality glasses that connect users to the internet, might be a great way to promote on-the-go connectivity. But, as this video parody shows, they could also be dangerous to one's health.

If Google had anounced they were developing new augmented reality glasses that keep the wearer permanently connected to the internet a few days ago, we'd be sure that it was one of the search giant's many April Fool's Day pranks. But it's no longer April 1st, and the 'Terminator 2'-style Google goggles are very real indeed.

Google's self-driving car project is a little hard to wrap your mind around. Is the search engine giant really going to be able to radically change the car and driver relationship which has been pretty static for the last 100 years?

Every year since 2000, except 2001 and 2003, Google has treated netizens to at least one, sometimes 17, April Fool’s Day pranks and easter eggs. And, since we know they love to play (check out their new Google Play offering), we’re hoping 2012 will be no different.

In this clever video by Tom Jenkins, Google Maps is used to free a toy car from the desk top and take it on a road trip across the country. Check out the innovative short below.

Google maps discovered a massive asymmetrical grid in the Chinese desert and it has folks wondering what in the world its purpose is.

If you use any of Google's many products (the ubiquitous search engine, Gmail, Google Plus, YouTube, etc.) you've probably seen all the notices about upcoming changes to the company's privacy policy. So what does it mean to you, and how can you put up a few necessary roadblocks?

We told you about the upcoming Google Glasses a few weeks ago, and now we have a few more details to share.

These aren’t just any glasses. These are 'Terminator' vision computers for your face. And a Google source says there is now a prototype of the Google Glasses.

In what may be the perfect summation of the crazy year that was, Rebecca Black, the internet sensation who sang the notorious song 'Friday,' was the top Google search term for 2011. Granted, Google doesn't take into account searches that were made ironically and/or while inebriated.

As 2011 comes to a close, Google Zeitgeist presents a video retrospective of the most-searched topics that made the year memorable.

To celebrate the 144th anniversary of  pioneering scientist Marie Curie's birth, Google dedicated its latest creative doodle to her -- giving the famed researcher a spot among other great "doodled" minds like Thomas Edison, "father of genetics" Gregor Mendel and "Vitamin C" scientist Albert Szent-Györgyi.

Did you know that internet mainstay Google, the search engine that gets 1 billion visitors each month, contains several carefully-hidden easter eggs? It's true.
