Google is talking to major retailers like Macy's, the Gap, and OfficeMax to offer customers one-day shipping when they buy products after finding them through Google searches.
It sounds a lot like Amazon Prime, Amazon's $79-per-year service that offers fast shipping and other benefits.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the service, and confirmed that Macy's had been approached by Google to participate.
The next-day shipping will apparently be combined with Google Product Search, which today lets users find products and compare them across different e-commerce sites to get the lowest price. When people buy a product from one of the sites after finding it on Google Product Search, they'll get an offer for one day shipping for a low fee, the Journal says.
Google won't be running an e-commerce site or stocking products in warehouses like Amazon does, but will instead create a system that figures out which retail partner's stores are nearest to a customer and have the product in stock. Then it would team up with UPS and local couriers for delivery.
Still, e-commerce fulfillment is a pretty big step removed from Google's core mission of organizing the world's information. Lack of focus has been a problem for the company, and CEO Larry Page has killed a lot of non-core products this year.

Using a magnifying glass, a shoebox, tape, and LEGOs, you can set your phone inside the box, seal it up, and watch as it's displayed on your wall. The image flips when it goes through the magnifying glass, so you'll need to make sure you lock the rotation on your phone if it has an accelerometer. It won't work for movies with subtitles, as the words will be flipped backwards and you're not going to get the same high quality image you get with a store bought projector, but it's cheap alternative for those looking to watch a few movies.

While it's billed as a social network, it operates more like a journal, where you record thoughts, photos, and events throughout the day. You get 150 friends and the limit is imposed to keep you with close friends. Since it's only available on iOS and Android, it also means its easy to keep private, so you likely won't have second-cousins bothering you for friendship.
The platform itself is dead simple, no apps, photo galleries, or links. It's solely about what you're thinking, doing, and who you're with. The updates in this version cover a wide spectrum, the completely new interface works great, and there are added features like music, check-in, and notification integration. You can also set it to record automatically, which means the app will track your location when you're in a new neighborhood or city.
Path is a free download for iOS and Android, with in-app purchases if you're interested in camera filters to apply to the notes you make. It can be used as a private journal of your daily activities or a small social network, it's up to you.
