The feature, which usually takes users directly to the top result for their query, has been programmed to display a ticker when no words are entered into the search box.

As of 7.15pm GMT on Monday, the clock had reached 1,484,258.

It appears that the blue numbers are only visible to people using the search giant's English language portals such as Google.com, Google.co.uk, Google.ie and Google.com.au. Attempting the same trick on Google's French and German websites presents an error box instead.

Googlehas released no statement explaining the hidden clock, but initial speculation that the search giant had advance warning of the end of the world appears wide of the mark.

Simple calculations indicate that the number will fall to zero in 17 days – around the turn of the New Year.

If confirmed, this would be the latest in a long line of pranks and hidden treats dropped into Google products by the US firm's engineers.

Past "easter eggs", as they are known, include:

• Type "recursion" into the search box and it suggests "recursion" as an alternative, sending you on a loop of clicks that all generate identical results.

• Using the arrow keys, type "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A" while using the firm's RSS feed reader, and a little ninja appears on the left of the screen, which turns partially blue.

• The Mars feature of Google Earth 5 allows users to explore the surface of the Red Planet – and chat to the locals. Typing "Meliza" into the search box takes you to an area of the planet where you can strike up a conversation with a Martian.

New Years! I just checked it. It counts down at 60 ticks per minute. 60 ticks per minute = 1 minute. At the time I looked at this the count was 1375400, I timed one minute (60 sec) and the new count was 1375340. =60. it counts 60 ticks per minute. so,1 hr =3600 seconds
3600 *24 = 86400 seconds
1 day = 86,400 seconds
initial count:1,375,400 seconds / 86,400 seconds(A Day) = 15.91898 days.
As of today 12-16-09 0200hrs the countdown leads to January 1, 2010. Happy New Year!!!

اینا هم همه اینو تایید کردند :


One way to calculate seconds before new year 2010through MS Excel. Format a cell (sayA1) to General or Number and press put= after that and then cut and paste =DATEVALUE("1/1/2010")-NOW(). In the cell below (A2) press F2 again put= and then point your mouse to the above cell (i.e A1) then enter*24*60*60 and press enter you get seconds countdown to the new Year. The 'A1' cell will not keep ticking away and needs to be refreshed for real time data. The same formula by substituting dates can be used for any future date and time.
