If you've already signed up to Google's experimental field trials, you might have started to notice people you know appearing within search queries. Expanding on shipping and flight results offered previously, Google's pulling that information from your Gmail account, meaning that you'll be able to poll for contact numbers, addresses (and more) through the search box. Of course, only you will be able to see the results and the beta feature can even link up to voice search. It currently supports all of your Gmail contacts, while Google+ connections are in the pipeline for future field tests. You can sign up to the trials at the second link below.

Bing might not yet have achieved true verb status, but it's definitely making all the right moves to get there. The latest twist on search? Curated content in search results. It's an experimental feature at the moment -- live in the US, but possibly not all territories just yet -- that delivers collections of images, videos or links relating to your query a-la Google's Knowledge Graph, but curated by a person (not an algorithm). Microsoft's testing the waters with a hand-picked selection of food and lifestyle bloggers right now, but hopes to expand this to more topics as the idea grows. Head to the more coverage link if you want to see what these cards might look like, in the meantime, time to dust off that abandoned spreadsheet blog?

Gamer Tests 'Surgeon Simulator 2013' With Hilarious Results

Disclaimer: The video, above, contains imagery and language that may be offensive to some viewers.

YouTube user Birgirpall tests video games in an online series called "I Broke..." to hilarious effect, providing over-the-top commentary and ridiculous captions (sometimes translating from his native Icelandic). In his latest video, Birgirpall takes on Surgeon Simulator 2013, a sim game in which players assume the role of shaky-handed surgeon Nigel Burke, and must perform life-saving surgery on patients.

Posted on Sunday, the nearly five-minute video has gone viral, with over 8,500 likes on YouTube. Watch all of "I Broke Surgeon Simulator 2013," above.
