<p><span class='drop_cap'>G</span>o to google.com and hit the &#8220;I&#8217;m Feeling Lucky&#8221; button leaving the query box empty. You&#8217;ll immediately see a countdown at the lower middle of the page.</p>
<div id="attachment_152" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><img src="http://www.techiepost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/google-homepage-ny.PNG" alt="Google Countdown" title="Google countdown" width="480" height="435" class="size-full wp-image-152" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Google Countdown</p></div>
<p>We&#8217;ve calculated to find out when the countdown ends, and figured out that this is a countdown to the new year&#8217;s first day. The countdown ends at 00:00 local time on January 1st, 2010. That means, whosoever visits this hidden page, will see the countdown to the end of the year according to their local time.</p>
<p>We still have no idea if it&#8217;s just a simple countdown, or Google is planning for something big on the occasion of the new year. As a result, what we can do is wait and see what Google is going to do.
