A Google search can return millions of results. Cut that down significantly by searching just a single site with Google’s Site: feature. Open Google in your browser and type “site:” and then the website you wish to search. Like this: “site:komando.com” but leave off the quotation marks.

Tip in a tip: You can enter “site:komando.com search term” in your browser’s address bar and no need to go to Google. Again, no quotation marks needed.

AND FINALLY ...

Ready to be blown away by the power of technological innovation? A man who was paralyzed below the neck after an injury in 2007 was able to write again, using just his mind. Researchers at Standford University used AI software and a tiny microchip implant in the man’s brain to accomplish the feat. He imagined he was writing on a notepad, and the connected computer converted his thoughts into text. 

“We had no idea someone who had never moved his hands for 10 years, if you asked him to write, what his brain would do,” Dr. Frank Willett, study author and neuroscientist at Stanford, told USA Today. “It shows these fine dexterous (movements) still evoke rich patterns of brain activity that we can use.” 

Just think of the possibilities. Really amazing stuff. Did you catch Elon Musk’s video game-playing primate? Watch him playing Pong with just his mind.
