Google Docs Gets New File Conversion Feature
Google has announced a new file conversion feature in Google Docs that lets you convert files that are already uploaded to your document list into a Google Docs format, as opposed to only being able to do so upon upload.
For example, you can convert PDFs to text using Google’s Optical Character Recognition technology. The changes make it easier for users to use Google Docs and then export content in ways that are compatible with Office and other productivity suites.

Revamped Google Images Now a Bandwidth Hog?
Google's redesigned "Google Images" is intended to allow searchers to discover more images faster. My own anecdotal experience with image search is not entirely conclusive, yet.
Google Web Search Help does have a complaint from a school in New Zealand with 1,200 students. Their Google Image Search data usage has more than doubled their weekly bandwidth fees, the post claims.
That's a pretty startling result.
