Goosh# - Google in a nutshell
I am definitely a console junky, and the internet should never have become graphical, if you have the same thoughts as me then you will probably appreciate this neat google tool.
A guy named Stefan Grothkopp has written something that I wish I had thought of, an AJAX google shell named goosh# that allows you to quickly type what you’re after and get the info in a traditional unix format.
