The brilliant search engine itself...
Google Maps - [URL]http://www.google.com/maps[/URL]
Google Videos - [URL]http://video.google.com/[/URL]
Granted, the these two do only really reflect better in America, but the concepts are really really cool. Check out the maps feature - you can even view satallite images of the places you look for, it's insane!
Gmail - [URL]http://www.gmail.com[/URL]
Brilliant new email service, over 2GB of storage.
Google Desktop Search - [URL]http://desktop.google.com/[/URL]
Pretty cool desktop application, 10x better then the crap you get with Windows
Google Groups - [URL]http://groups-beta.google.com/[/URL]
Excellent if you are looking for snippets of information, especially for things computing related, there is a lot of stuff out there.

Cool shopping thing.
It's amazing to be honest, I remember when google was just a wee search engine, now its a completely different empire in itself.
Bets on when GoogleOS comes out then?

:P
> Bets on when GoogleOS comes out then?
It's rumored to be in development. The company poached a number of Microsft OS programmers.
I bet people even type in the map thing "Sylvia Saint", expecting to find her house and a live satellite feed of her anus.
If you go on the map thing, then just keep clicking zoom, you get to "Coffeyville Country Club".
I don't think it uses any Javascript to do it either, it's all dynamically rendered.
V. cool in my opinion.

Rumor has it that they are working on a browser in conjunction with the team at Firefox. This has been cirulating about for a while now, but nothing concrete yet confirming this.
Best thing I've ever played with from Google... Google Search Appliance (GB-1001 Google Box) [URL]http://www.google.com/enterprise/gsa/index.html[/URL]
Awesome bit of kit. Effectively, Google in a box for your own customization which then feeds out to Google Central. Expensive, sexy, but best of all, I got the free Google t'shirt when it arrived in the office.
