5-stars joke from Google Australia:

Google gDay allows to search tomorrow’s web. The core technology that powers gDay is MATE (Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation). This technique can "predict almost anything on the web – tomorrow’s share price movements, sports results or news events. Plus, using language regression analysis, Google can even predict the actual wording of blogs and newspaper columns, 24 hours before they’re written!".

I think the creator will get a job in Wall Street immediately.
