You Had Me At Potato

Dear Google:

I am a big fan.... I already use a lot of your products.... I love your e-mail and I can't wait to get a cell phone with your Android operating system.... And your Google Earth program is crazy awesome....

But now, it's like you're looking straight into my soul.... How did you know that all it would take for me switch to your Google Chrome web browser, is a commercial displaying the speed of your Google Chrome compared to a potato, sound waves and lightning? The ball is now in Firefox's court, and they must attempt to win back my love....

Sincerely,

ASBLACKASOBAMA

p.s. You had me at potato.

Life Before Google

The good people over at ShoeBoxBlog.com have possibly created one of the funniest comic panels ever!


Seriously, what did we do before Google? Or Wikipedia for that matter?

I remember having to use something called an encyclopedia when I was in high school.... Remember pulling each 70 pound volume off of the shelf, just to learn a random outdated fact about the population of South Dakota?


I wonder what school was like before calculators were invented? We really do have it easy, don't we? Are we too reliant on the internet?

Quantity and Quality

Woo hoo! One of my YouTube videos has received 100,000 views! And over 250 comments!



However, I don't think that video is half as good as this one.... But this video one has around 250 views....

Finally, here's a question for all of you to ignore (funny sarcasm).... Some YouTube videos (not mine) contain Google advertisement at the bottom of the videos. Do these ads annoy you? They take up about a quarter of the video screen, and you have to minimize the ad if you want to get rid of it.... These ads drive me crazy, what do you think?

Google Earth

Google Earth is one of the most amazing products in the entire world. I don't know how they do it, but I think Google will take over the world one of these days...

I'm sure you've heard the reports that Google Earth may have found the Lost City of Atlantis, well, their satellite cameras have found a lot of other interesting items while taking pictures of our world.

This is the Coronado Naval Amphibious Base in San Diego . The Navy has reported that it's planning to spend more than $600,000 to mask the shape. "We don't want to be associated with something as symbolic and hateful as a swastika," a spokesman said.

This has been rumored to be a cruise missile, thought to be fired during military training exercises in the Utah mountains. Many dispute the image and say it's merely an airplane.
