quote:

When Google Capital met local services company Thumbtack last year, its partner David Lawee assured the San Francisco startup’s cofounders that the search giant was not personally interested in expanding into the space. In fact, it was his word that helped Google Capital seal a deal to lead a $100 million round of investment into a company that helps connect users with service providers such as handymen, plumbers and wedding DJs.

(...)

On Tuesday, Buzzfeed first reported that Google is working to create a new product in the home services market. Sources confirmed to FORBES that the Mountain View, Calif.-based technology giant is working on an offering through its ads team that will allow customers to connect with roofers and repairmen and put it in direct competition with Thumbtack and Amazon.com, which launched its own home service provider marketplace last week.

Buttercoin, a bitcoin exchange startup backed by Y Combinator and Google Ventures, is closing its doors this month after failing to raise new investment.

“Buttercoin will be turning off our service on April 10th at 11PM Pacific,” the company said in a note on its website. “Be sure to move your bitcoins to another service and remove your dollar balances by Friday April 10th at 11PM.”

so it was google who was paying off all the buttcoiner shills. the path for bitcoin to overthrow the dollar is finally free

oh, you pulled yourself up from your bootstraps and offered people entertainment they valued and agreed to a contract when building your brand? looks like you're the sad fucker here.

haha.. seriously? you're a voice with serious star power and a bright future? pathetic imo!!!!

lmfao you were Time magazine person of the year because "you" were empowered to make a living from "your" content on "your" channel. "you're are" the laughing stock of the internet!

Google purges bad extensions from Chrome

Tens of millions of users who visit Google sites use a browser loaded with malicious add-ons, research suggests.

Most rogue extensions bombard people with ads, but the most malicious steal login names and other valuable data.

Carried out by security experts and Google, the project analysed more than 100 million visits to the search giant's sites.

It led to Google purging almost 200 bad extensions from its online catalogues of browser add-ons.
