That is true. We've been getting an increase of customers asking us to install them. Although like I said they don't work with anything but one speeds so we don't actually install many. I think I saw a display of one in Home Depot last time I was there as well.

that and because their businesses are inherently vulnerable and have non-existent moats (compared to other industries). but out of the two google is the most afraid and trying to protect their legacy business. zuck on the other hand realized a while ago that facebook.com wasnt going to be the future of the company and has been making plays ever since.

if twitter tanks enough, zuck will probably try to buy it. twitter isnt gonna go cheap tho, there'll probably be a bidding war between google and facebook. facebook doesnt have as much cash to offer but they can afford to pay a lot more in stock. google would probably have to pay a lot more in cash (as a proportion of cash and stock) for their board to take their bid over a less cash + tons of stock bid from facebook. its gonna be a poo poo show for google either way. they either miss out on a huge property which is the most pop-culturally relevant social network or they get it by blowing a gently caress ton of cash and diluting shareholders (which is worse than if facebook does it)

or twitter's management isnt completely poo poo and they start making money

the silence is broken by the sound of a wooden chair pushed back over the gymnasium floor as a single man rises like timid prairie dog with. his back and eyes are hunched over meekly but his eyes stare steadfast at the podium.

"no, i am google" he says.

"and i am google" echoes another. and as eyes search the room for the second voice another says "i am google".

"well if that's the case then were going to have one very confused valet." said the unimpressed speaker on stage. "good day."

i honestly thought that was in google maps since android 1.6 on my HTC G1. thought i just need to zoom in to a certain level or something, or my addresses were formatted wrong.

speaking the google the (something awful) search seems to be broken.
