Have you guys tried this one? You just have to log on to your gmail account and activate the feature. There are sure a lot of cool stuff over there which you can play around with the search engine.

Another innovation by Google to stay ahead, I suppose and probably another reason it is so difficult to topple Google from its top position.

Yup. To them being at the top doesn't mean that it gives them the chance to rest on their laurels. It is evident as can be seen from the new stuff that they try out. I wonder when will all these available.

One thing I like about these lab features is that one or two will become popular and will soon be a mainstream application. Some of the other cool google applications were germinated in this manner. Kudos to Google for this kind of innovation spirit.

I actually really think this is a pointless feature, Im sorry but scrolling with your keyboard? I know not everyone has a wheel mouse but this could be a security risk.

What if someone is searching and they press J then enter instantly by accident and it goes to a porn site when they are at work.

Like it but would prefer to see the features become permanent.
