I noticed it yesterday while I was searching for some software on Google…and I must say, Google is becoming smarter day by day…
Google now shows brief one line info and links (including download link) about software you searched for…
But unfortunately they seem to have taken back this feature (may be they have enabled in some datacenters for testing)
Here is the screenshot.. 
Someone in Digit Forums asked about way to find out domains owned by Google, so I just checked whois info for google.com’s IP (216.239.37.99) and it listed 77 domain names…
some of them include names like….
and many more….
so what’s up google? Planning to start some new business? may be Hosting, sell domains ? or all these are your companies? or plans to start these companies 
Google recently launched their new software called Web Accelerator
What it does?
In simple words, your page request is sent to their (proxy) server, which checks for the page in server’s cache…if page is found then it shows that page otherwise requests new page from the website….this process should make the browsing faster but there is always disadvantage in it….
Google can always track the activities you do, i.e what sites you surf, what browser, OS you use…
It can also get your yahoo, hotmail or other passwords (unless it is behind SSL [HTTPS])
Google has mentioned it in their privacy policy also….
When you use Google Web Accelerator, Google servers receive and log your page requests. Page requests and data sent in encrypted form using an HTTPS connection will not go through Google. It is possible that some personally identifiable information could be sent to Google, if the information is sent without using an encrypted (HTTPS) connection.
This makes me think twice before using it…but I think we can have that much trust in google..hehe
You can get more info about the software on their official page

I hope this gets my sites listed on 1 from 5 for few keywords 
and get pages listed for some of the keywords which are listed well in other search engines but not visible at all in yahoo..
UPDATE: I see totally new results now, I am not able to find my company sites anywhere in the result, they totally kicked us without any reason…some spam is also present in results, spm blogs doing good well….
