Google Goggles Now Solves Sudoku for You

The 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!

While it sort of (actually, completely) defeats the purpose of Sudoku to begin with, it's definitely a hell of an impressive demo. 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!

People can make AI that play chess with you only because they understand chess mechanism much better than you do. Same goes for Sudoku, I would assume they got bored of solving ULTREXTREME levels and decided to just beat Sudoku once and for all with a servant who plays in their place.
