The script adds a drop-down box on the search results page that lets you choose your filter type. Just last week we noticed that Google enabled face recognition in their image search, and once again the wonderful open source scripting community has quickly put the feature to easy use. After all, who wants to manually add &imgtype=face to all their URLs, anyway? Works wherever Greasemonkey does.

This is old news, but I wanted to remember it ... In Fall 2005, a student, doing a project for his high school civics class. took a photo to illustrate his First Amendment rights. The photo showed him standing next to a picture of George Bush, giving the thumbs-down sign. A Wal-Mart employee sent the photo to the local cops, who called the Secret Service, who then came to town and interrogated the student and his teacher. Don't you feel safer already?
