Google Instant for Images, Videos, Blogs, and Updates (realtime search)

Today, Google enables Instant capability for Images search, Videos, Updates, News, Books, Blogs, and Discussions.

Google Maps and Shopping Search are not yet.

For Google Realtime Search (Updates Search for Twitter, etc) search result is updated according to your input, and the same time the result is scrolled down realtime.

Google Instant provides Arrow Key Navigation

Do you find the small blue rectangle located left of Google Instant search result entry? (see red square on screen image)

I found that it is used by cursor (arrow) key navigation function provided by Google Instant.

• Up and Down arrow keys let you move up and down the rectangle and select one of the result
• Return key let you jump to the result
• At the bottom of screen, you can also select Next and Previous button

Arrow key navigation will help you speeding up your google-ing.

MobileMe is the pioneer instead of Google Instant

Many of us think the Google is the pioneer at Instant search technology derived from Google Wave.

However, Apple renewed MobileMe Web service on June, with instant search capabilities for Mail and Contacts.

When you start typing at search field, MobileMe starts searching and display search result instantly.

Google Translation has been similar to Google Instant/Wave

Recently, Google announced to launch the brand new technology called Google Instant (TechCrunch article 2010-09-08).

It is said as newest technology at many news sites or blogs.

However, I found that Google Translate also have similar capability (instant result display) since it adds some new features on 2010-08-30.

It also provides pronunciation.

I think instant capability is more useful on Google Translate than Google Instant Search.

rumor: Millions of devices watching this streaming could use FaceTime

Safari Reader customization - sans-serif font

Safari 5's Reader is incredibly cool. You can customize Safari Reader output by editing "Reader.html" file at "/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/" folder. This is the way to change the type face from serif to sans-serif both at title and body.

• The line 7 of Reader.html begins with "<style ". Insert following after the line 7; * { font-family: sans-serif !important; }

Technically, the key for this is style prioritization specification: "!important". Most of the parts of Safari Reader output is based on Reader.html styles, but body paragraphs are overridden by hard-coded Safari output. Please enjoy. Do not forget to backup before make modification to your system. [Japanese version]
