Google Goggles in action

See Google Goggles, a visual search engine, in action on the T-Mobile G1. Google Goggles uses the phone's camera to locate an object of interest, then makes a search for you to Google's search engine. The results can be a bit hit or miss, but when they work, the result is amazing. This example shows Google Goggles recognizing text from a newspaper and finding the online version.

You are an idiot and lazy. In 10 seconds you can find it yourself. Use quotes and pick a unique phrase from the story and search for it.
