Google Inc. (GOOG)’s dominance of the U.S. Internet search market slipped last month in the biggest drop since 2009 while Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) posted its largest share gain, as the companies grappled with the fallout of a search deal on Firefox browsers.

Google’s slice of the U.S. search market fell to 75.2 percent in December from 79.3 percent a year ago, while Yahoo jumped to 10.4 percent from 7.4 percent, according to analytics firm StatCounter. That put Google at its smallest share of the U.S. Web search market since at least 2008, when StatCounter first started tracking the numbers, and the highest share for Yahoo since 2009.

also the hangouts app/extension whatever in chrome just decides to close the chat window every now and again and it doesn't remember its size or position, so every time i reopen it, it's this tiny 300x400 window in the bottom right corner of my monitor.

how do you gently caress up being a search provider when people literally use google as a verb to mean search. it would be like bandaid going out of business.

it's easy; you just keep making things a little bit worse gradually over time, and people will try to find something that is like you but not sucky. "kleenex" might be shorthand for facial tissue, but i bet they don't sell the most facial tissue

if i'm wrong, replace with xerox and photocopies or something

do not mess around with vocs or particulate matter, especially from some impervious artificial lung shredding stuff like fiberglass,

literally tell your employer to literally gently caress off and go find yourself a job that doesn't make you get brain damage and cough blood out of your mouth and anus
