Google Goggles
A week or so ago I got me self a Apple iPad 2. I've only
scratched the surface of what it can do.
Anyway, in the many apps, I ran across the Google app that
include Google Goggles. This looks cool. Anyway this video
demonstrates better than writing a bunch of stuff.

[glow=red,2,300]Google Maps
HTML http://maps.google.com/
gets 8-bit NES treatment[/glow]

[quote]a fantastic April Fools' joke.
Head over to the main page for the Internet giant's maps tool.
In the upper right corner, click on Quest and turn Google Maps
into an 8-bit, classic video game wonderland.
"Our engineering team in Japan understood the importance of maps
on retro game systems," writes Tatsuo Nomura, software engineer
with Google Maps, at the application's official blog. "With the
power of Google's immense data centers, and support from
Nintendo and Square Enix, we were able to overcome the technical
and design hurdles of developing 8-bit maps. Today, we're
excited to announce the result: a version of Google Maps for
NES, with beautiful low-res graphics, simple and intuitive
controls, and a timeless soundtrack."
The maps pay homage to the classic NES role-playing game Dragon
Warrior, which was known as Dragon Quest in Japan.
Users can even view landmarks in 8-bit form, including The
Statue of Liberty, the Washington Monument and Mount Rushmore.
Fortunately, no Slimes were encountered during our journey.
Google has also posted a great video walkthrough on YouTube of
the spoof application for NES, including troubleshooting tips
such as "blowing on the cartridge."[/quote]
