They already reverted this experiment. Looks that way, at least, I have the all white back.

And tying back to the original "google is packet sniffing", I have no sympathy for anyone who doesn't set a fucking password on their wireless router.

Ok I was going to post a link of a blog I thought I had bookmarked. And Now I can't find the blog. At fucking all.

It was basically a blog of funny/disturbing websearches. So if anyone knows what it is, please tell me.

My question was going to be what search engine allows users to see all search terms that have been recently used? There's google trends but that's not really the same thing. And I'd imagine that google trends, like autofill, filters out innapropriate stuff. This blog has the typical disturbing things such as "geriatric midge amputees snorting cocaine off Osama bin Laden's ass"

No but this blog had a link to another blog that did exactly that, but I don't think it was failblog.

My wife has an Android live wallpaper that does exactly that. I'm not sure if it's publicly available though, since she has access to internal Google apps.
