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.

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.

Make the Internet Smarter at Helping Us | Both Sides of the Table – StumbleUpon. This article discusses some ideas how to read review sites, considering bias, balancing sources, and the relative importance of opinions. It seems clear as well that only a user-programmed AI for what is important to them is going to help with the increasing clutter of information.
