Google Goggles Now Solves Sudoku for YouThe newest version of Google Goggles has some nice upgrades—barcode scanning is faster, and it'll recognize and search print ads for you. But, really, the hands-down coolest feature is automatic Sudoku solving. No need to use your brain!

Google sent one of its software engineers to beat the pants off of Tammy McLeod—2009 national Sudoku champ—with his Google Goggles 1.3-equipped Nexus S. Watch the look of masked agony on her face as she realizes she's been defeated in her life's passion by a piece of plastic. Puny human! [Google]
