Very cool. Not too long-a bit fast-but catchy... 3.5 novas.
(ot, wtf "nova" comes up with a shitload of boobies!)

What? Do you mean on Google Image Search? Because I didn't get any (and yes, safe search is off).

And by "at least half," you mean "none"?

That's because, luca, your search has moderate filtering on. If you turn it off, you will get teh boobies.

No, as I said, filtering is off. Just for kicks I turned it on and back off... no change. I also tried doing the same with IE... no change.

Okay I split it off to keep the other thread from derailing further. You may have to repost in the other thread, Paul - I did what I could.

Anyhoo, it seems as though Google Image Search is giving the two of us different results. Namely, I don't get teh bewbies when I search for "nova" but these guys do.

EDIT: Clearing cache doesn't change anything.

Damn! I want the breasts!

Very very strange. I don't get any breasts, and I've tried searching anything possible. Could it be that I am connected through a University internet connection, and they might be filtering? (Damn Jesuits!)

Luca, any more insight? This google discrepancy has piqued my interest.

I get the same results when searching from a different computer on a different network, here on the U of MN campus. I don't know exactly how the U's internet service works, but the one I have at home is Qwest DSL. This is definitely NOT Qwest DSL (it's some kind of hyper-fast private U of M T3 thingie that gets something like 3-7 megabits down AND up), but I get the same results.

This is interesting. I get the porn pictures when connected normally, but when I VPN in through Northwestern U I get the results posted by Luca. I'll post screenshots momentarily. I would think this is on Google's end since I've heard nothing about anyone at the University doing this.

I also just noticed that it actually says it returns more results through .edu even though it isn't displaying the porn.

Home connection:


.edu through VPN (update: see post below. I now get the results above for both):

Weird. Now I get the same results for both. Those @ .edu, try again and see what happens.

BTW, this might have something to do with it:
Quote:
Google makes changes small-and-often. They will sometimes trial a particular feature with a set of users from a given network subnet; for example Excite@Home users often get to see new features. They aren't told of this, just presented with the new UI and observed how they use it.
From http://alan.blog-city.com/read/1003011.htm

Also, there has been a bit of discussion about Google actively updating the image search index which has received heavy criticism in recent months for being out-of-date.

I just did the GIS on "nova" (sans filter) and I got the PG version of the pages. And I'm doing this from an .edu site in the Twin Cities (not the U of M). Just to make sure there was no filtering going on, I did a search on "nikki nova" and, sure enough, plenty of uncensored skin appeared.

My filters are off. I get no boobies. Odd.

Edit: I'm not on a university line. It's a regular residential cable modem.
And firefox gives me no boobies either.

Come waste your time with me

I don't get boobies on either my home (Comcast) or .edu lines on either firefox or safari

Well, I guess Google is updating its Image Search database? Maybe that would explain it. I do tend to get a LOT of 404s when I do GIS.

The size of the bass units in the back of the Mondeo behind the orange Nova is ridiculous.
