does the + modifier in google search actually work now or is it still a google+ thing

if you want a search term to show up, put quotes around it. that also stops them from giving you results for "similar" words

google is clearly abusing market dominance in the video-streaming space in a way that practically defines monopolization

that the abused party has formerly done the same to others is a separate though equally hosed up issue

saying that what google is doing is hosed up isn't giving a moral pass to record labels etc., the world cannot be categorized via a purely good/bad binary

this was the post that crystallized for google management that they were becoming the new microsoft and caused larry to panic and take over. they tried to get her thrown off the google beat lol

all the a-team players got poached by facebook so they started a new PR division called google x so people wouldn't realize that they are about as innovative as a utility.

now that's an interesting post. much better than your "i hate google because they're not apple" posts :tipshat:

'Practical' Google exec caught in fatal sex web

SAN FRANCISCO � The Santa Cruz police detective put it simply Friday, in announcing the arrest of a call girl accused of killing a Google executive on his yacht last fall with an overdose of heroin.

"It's an amazing case," said deputy police chief Steve Clark.

Beyond the surreal circumstances, what's perhaps most amazing is how extremely successful high-tech exec Forrest Timothy Hayes, 51, wound up tangled in the orbit of exotic dancer-turned-prostitute Alix Tichelman, a woman with a thing for the fictitious TV serial killer Dexter and who liked to write poems about drugs.

Cardboard Box A posted:

Google is promising to fix a bug in Chrome for Windows that has been draining laptop batteries for years. The problem was first reported in 2010, but a recent investigation by Forbes has bumped the issue to the top of Google�s Chrome bug report list. Chrome�s battery drain problem affects Windows users as Google sets a parameter for processor-intensive tasks much lower than Microsoft recommends. The result means laptop processors are waking up far more often than they should when Chrome is open on Windows and a webpage is idle. Internet Explorer and Firefox don't exhibit the same battery drain problem.

name and shame

googling "Gene Simmons, Vanity, and John Stamos" got me this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Too_Young_to_Die

Never Too Young To Die is a 1986 B movie, starring John Stamos as Lance Stargrove, a young man who, with the help of secret-agent Danja Deering (Vanity a.k.a. Denise Matthews) must avenge the death of his secret-agent father (George Lazenby) at the hands of the evil hermaphrodite Velvet Von Ragner (Gene Simmons).

john stamos's character may have also been a gymnast, so you've got a gymkata angle, too
