During an early morning Street View search I ran into this:
Street .. or Panda ... View?
In case you don’t see it, try to spot for the” yellow man” icon that normally appears in the bottom window pane. It has been replaced by a Panda bear.
Now, as you may or may not know, Google is notorius for their April Fool’s practical jokes. So I looked around. And, in fact, Google has been having some fun with this Panda. Their April Fool’s blog post is about CADIE (Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity) which is said to be a “powerful new technique for solving reinforcement learning problems, resulting in the first functional global-scale neuro-evolutionary learning cluster.”
The blog post says, “Earlier today, for instance, CADIE deduced from a quick scan of the visual segment of the social web a set of online design principles from which she derived this intriguing homepage.” It’s Panda-rific. And, apparently, CADIE has found her way to Street View
CADIE's Website
Google has also turned YouTube upside down … literally. Check out this screen shot, and visit YouTube.com; videos linked from the home page appear to be doing it.
YouTube, turned upside down!
