I clicked the link to be opened in a new tab - and continued what I was doing.
I heard that beeping sound, and was completely baffled where it was coming from (didn't sound like it was coming from the speakers).
You should have seen me picking up papers on my desk listening to them. I listened to every potential port on my phone to see if it was giving off this sound.
I felt like I was going crazy while I was doing it, but I just couldn't figure out the source of the sound. Thinking back, if a camera was in my office, that woulda been hella funny to watch.

which comes up top of the google search results for "timer for 1 hour" for me. Now there is absolutely no way they can compete with Google's own offering from an SEO perspective.
While this example is trivial to some extent, does it set a precedent that while you can advertise and compete with Google, they can always have the unfair advantage at being top of the list.

Just like how "define: something" doesn't show a dictionary definiton for me anymore, a functionality i used all the time. And now can't be sure whether was actually removed, or just removed for me!

It seems that if they continue to do things this way, sooner or later, Google is likely to replace thousands of utility websites.
This seems like a change in their philosophy from sending users to other websites in as little time as possible, to using Google as a portal.
Interestingly, this change in philosophy by Yahoo from a search engine to a portal was what made Yahoo lose out to Google.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
done = Time.now + ARGV[0].to_i
while(true) do
sleep(10)
`say "Time's up!"` if Time.now > done
end
Or the alarm clock version: #!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'time'
done = Time.parse(ARGV[0])
while(true) do
sleep(10)
`say "Time's up!"` if Time.now > done
end

It has to be https://www.google.com/#q=timer+for+10+seconds so I made a custom search URL and can now use the timer through Alfred.
