So if you Google j2se 1.4.2 api documentation, there’s a strange match toward the bottom of the first page:
See the link to java.sun.co%5cm? [%5c is URLese for \ (backslash).] I’m pretty sure co\m isn’t a valid TLD (i.e. a spammer can’t register something there), so is this a Google bug, or what?
I’ve been wondering lately why the doodle of my Scion in the rain has been cropping up all over the Internet in blog entries and forum posts. Finally, I decided to run a Google Image search for “rain”; sure enough, dsandler.org makes the front page.

Google has silently added a Bookmarks feature to My Search History, enabling you to quickly tag and comment any web page you’ve visited.
Well, it’s finally here—Google Reader, for all your RSS/Atom feeds. (The existence of such a project at Google has been the subject of some speculation.) It seems like their UI is flashy but needs some polish to knock over venerable apps like Bloglines (the old standard) and My Yahoo! (the juggernaut).
Note, however, that Google Reader isn’t as up-to-date as FeedTree:
Figure 1. Google Reader (at right), not even aware of its own announcement on Slashdot yet. (FeedTree, at left, has the skinny.)
So Google Talk is live. It appears to be a Jabber service at talk.google.com for GMail users (try it! your Jabber ID is you@gmail.com) with some VoIP extensions for you if you use the Google Brand™ Jabber client (Windows only).
[If you want to talk to me, my JID (and therefore my GMail address) is my first name (short version), dot, last name, at, gmail dot com.]
Also be sure to check out their Developers FAQ, which offers some slightly deeper details on the app:
4. Do you plan to support other real-time communication protocols?
Google Talk supports XMPP with the beta release. We plan to support SIP in a future release. Additionally, we will evaluate other protocols as appropriate, to continue to deliver on our commitment to open communications.
5. What protocols are used for voice calls?
Google Talk supports a custom XMPP-based signaling protocol and peer-to-peer communication mechanism. We will fully document this protocol. In the near future, we plan to support SIP signaling.
version 2 is out, including a new RSS-reading desktop sidebar. Just in case you’re keeping track, the Google euphemism for RSS feeds is “Web Clips”:
Read RSS and Atom feeds from the web. Click on an item to read the entire clip’s content in the details pane. Feeds are generally updated every 30 minutes. In Options, you can manually add a feed by entering its URL, or select a recent feed to add by clicking the “Add Recent Clips” button. Feeds are automatically added based on the web pages you visit, unless you uncheck the “Automatically add commonly viewed clips” checkbox.
