Yes, the Apple fanboy... that calls Apple a bunch of brainwashed sheep.

Nice random Apple bashing. You Microsoft fanboys can't resist, can you?


You do realize that you did the exact same thing that you are criticizing, don't you?


You are free to use a non-American search provider that is more receptive to your friendly non-American needs. I suggest Baidu.


Exactly, just look at the Great Depression. 63% throughout. Very sane.


Nice strawman


constant talking heads are regarded as empty

This is a northern Europe-ism.


Cool. I hope your Paki dyke mom dies of AIDS! LOL, am I right?


Well, ok. Am I offended? Not. I'm not even a Paki, but whatever.


Awesome, HN is becoming reddit where every post that isn't bashing America has to be "BUT AMERICA"


Adsense? Are you serious? Google isn't a search engine. It's an ads engine.

Without Adsense, there is no Google. Everything else is just a platform for it.


Not sure what you're arguing. I was using Adsense as an example of a toxic product from Google.


Perhaps toxic, but Adsense/Adwords are what make Google possible. Without revenue there's no Google.


The dis-proportionality of contextual pay per click revenue has financed Google's excursions in to all of these other areas.

One has to wonder if Google had just stuck with search, the search product would be significantly better than it is today. Instead we've got Google trying to be everything to everyone, at the cost of the integrity of those search results.


Have the search results degraded that much in your opinion? I still find their results the most useful.


96% of revenue in the most recent quarter came from Advertising. If Google hadn't pioneered contextually relevant advertising it would likely be bankrupt today (as no VC would front the money it costs to run and maintain the datacenters powering search today).


The search results are a hell of a lot better than they were a year or two ago. Content farm results, gone! Thank Jebus.


Too bad the gravitation constant is 9.8


Actually the gravitation constant is 6.67×10^-11 N m^2/kg^2. Gravitational acceleration on earths surface is on average 9.81 m/s^2, and not really a constant (it varies slightly from place to place).

True, Rails is such a terrible and unsupported framework.
