One feature that Apple “bragged” about in their newest operating system, Snow Leopard, is its ability to run 64-bit apps, kernel and extensions.

Google has created a free “411″ service for all types of phones called, “GOOG411″. To use GOOG411, just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 from any phone, state the location and business type, GOOG411 automatically searches Google, connect to the business and that’s it! It’s all for free too!
