Ga-ga over Google


Visitors at Google's squat headquarters in Mountain View, California, sit in the lobby transfixed by the words scrolling by on the wall behind the receptionist.

The projected display, called Live Query, shows updated samples of what people around the world are typing into Google's search engine. The terms scroll by in English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French, Dutch, Italian - any of the 86 languages that Google tracks.
