What kind of evil is Google: Accidental or intentional? | Privacy – InfoWorld – StumbleUpon. It does seem its more intentional than accidental these days. Well there goes my search engine rankings.

Google’s 3 Top Executives Have 8 Private Jets TechCrunch. My impression of reading this article is that pointing out the green initiatives of the company and then listing they have jets is to show they are hypocritical. I am not defending Google, but I think we should first look at our own lives before we judge others.

Search engine aims to give power to the people | TG Daily – StumbleUpon. Interesting challenge to Google. I hope this is successful. I love the fact that it doesn’t store searches. Makes it even better that data won’t be sold to advertisers.

Google wants to be “the operating system of your life” | motorcitytimes.com – StumbleUpon. I am moving away from Google as well. They still are unbeatable in search, but they are becoming harder to accept.

The Google Chromebook Is A Giant Bust, Won’t Be Taking The Place Of Your Laptop Anytime Soon [REVIEW]. I had a chance to use one of these too and I was very disappointed. It was unusable in my opinion. If you buy this, you will be sorry. Google is making many errors lately aren’t they?

Connected – Get all your contacts and conversations in one place | WiredCPU.com. If you have a wide variety of contacts from many social networks, this might be just the tool for you. If this is too much, you may also want to consider Zimbra Desktop. I am using it and it has more features than Gmail while syncing with Gmail/Google in several ways.

International visitors: This Translation is for you!

I have had a fair share of International visitors and they often use Google translate to understand the content on these pages. So to make it easier for them I installed Google translator. You have probably seen at the bottom of the post the ability to click on Translate and then choose the flag for your country of origin. I tried it on Spanish and it works well.

Why would I help people who I will have no financial benefit from? Why indeed does anyone share what they know, except to make the world a better place? Plus I have had international friendships, and people in other countries are just as deserving of help as people in this one.

Most of my traffic comes from Japan, India, China, Europe especially Spain, France, Germany. I am sometimes surprised when I read ping-backs and their original pages. I don’t understand the language but respect people who are multilingual.

I will use FF 5 in the next few days and see how it goes. I have also been having more problems with Chrome lately. Very slow and awkward on Gmail. Also scrolling in the Google RSS Reader application is slow and inconsistent. Lots of little things. I wonder if this means Google has jumped the shark? Too fast, and not enough QA.
