Jake of the Web

On the subject of modified Google searches: a black-screened "energy saving" Google search. The idea is that a black screen will require less energy for a computer monitor to display it than a white screen would. Read this article from Scientific America to help you decide if this is true or not.

A backwards Google search. You must place your searches backwards as well, so if
you are searching for "Jake of the Web" you would have to type "bew eht fo ekaj". Also, the "Feeling Lucky" button is the default choice, but if
you choose Google results all the results also show up backwards. It
messes with one's mind.

"Auto-Tune the News" A strange hybrid between "The Daily Show" and T-Pain, this group uses an auto-tuner to get news anchors and news makers to 'sing' - and then they sing right along. Occasionally the humor gets a little more surreal, where an 'angry gorilla' shows up to sing along. Four episodes so far - they all hit more than they miss, but all are worth seeing. I could see this going places.
