Like many Harry Potter fans, we are convinced that our Hogwarts acceptance letter was hidden away by cruel parents on our 11th birthday, or else it somehow got lost in owl-post. Either way, we've been cruelly denied the opportunity to stroll the famous, cobbled street in order to shop for magical school supplies.

There's nothing like popping the question and letting the whole world see it go down from your point of view. That's exactly what happened for one man who decided to propose to his girlfriend while he wearing Google Glasses.

In honor of the birthday of legendary artist/filmmaker/credits designer Saul Bass, Google has dedicated a very entertaining Doodle to the man, best known for his collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese.

As part of their April Fool's Day tradition, Google is running a pretty great prank on YouTube, right now. They are listing the nominees for the best of YouTube before it "shuts down." Every video is nominated. They are listing every video on YouTube and reading their descriptions...

If you're anything like us, you probably have no idea what day it is. Well, it's Monday, April 1st. Yes, it's April Fool's Day, which means that Google is planning to pull the wool over our eyes all day long. Here are some of the pranks they're pulling, in case you are super-gullible...

Adidas and Google revealed a new talking sneaker prototype at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas last weekend. The motion-sensing kicks feature a speaker on the tongue that can make commands, give encouragement and post online status updates based on what the wearer is — or isn't — doing while wearing the shoes.

This (NSFW) video of Hitler reacting to the end of Google Reader is being passed around Twitter with the reckless abandon of people who just realized they're losing their favorite way to follow the internet.

Google may be going ahead in developing a ‘smart watch’. It would, of course, be called ‘the Google Smart Watch’. In October of 2012 Google was granted a patent for a wrist watch (or smart watch) with a flip-up display. Even though the patent was granted most business insiders thought the plan would remain on the drawing board.

It's nice to know that Google isn't just harvesting information about us and selling it to advertisers. Look! They also used our searches to make this video! The video, 'Zeitgeist 2012: Year In Review,' shows the top (non-porn) search terms for the last year and includes video as much as possible...

Christina Aguilera has fallen victim to an exceptionally strange search engine quirk: If you Google 'dying grandparent' in Google Images, it's predominantly images of her, and she's neither a grandparent nor dying. So what's going on?

There are hundreds of thousands of uninhabited islands on our planet. The South Pacific island of Sandy isn't one of them...

Find yourself wishing the holidays were over already? Well, thanks to a bug in the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, the month of December has been canceled altogether. Is Google the new Grinch?

We're sure Apple fanboys will have something to say about this. In a head-to-head contest between Siri and Google Voice Search, it looks like Siri is the loser.

In case you were wondering what the deal is with today's Google Doodle, it turns out today marks the 107th Anniversary of Winsor McCay's ahead-of-its-time 'Little Nemo' comic strip.

In one of the most unfortunate internet quirks we've ever seen, a Google Images search using the term "completely wrong" currently yields photo after photo of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Ouch! This won't help with his poll numbers for sure.
