As if you accidentally type in "goggle" (I think this only affects Internet Explorer), bad things can happen

Bad things, such as these.

But it's a little tempting to try. :brow:

another thing about google:
it puts trackings on your computer.

I did it on internet explorer. Nothing happened. That video is just an ad I think for the program at the end of the video.

It is an ad, nothing more. But a pretty surreal one. Kinda reminds me of when Strongbad got that e-mail virus.

Of course, you could just bookmark http://www.google.com, so when you start to type it, the correct version appears.

This is why Opera and avast work miracles. IE kills kittens. Save the kitties, get Opera or Firefox.

I actually almost never type in the full url of sites I frequent. In particular all I type of the Alliance's address is "ch."
