Search Engines (#15)

Actually, I don’t like using Google because I find the conceit of the developers insufferable, and I hate that they offer stock — how can you possibly own stock in a company that doesn’t have a product?  It’s stupid.   I … Continue reading

Social Networking

So I was looking at the lists provided.  MySpace is certainly overrun with teenagers, and not a place I’d care to go.   Facebook was way too intrusive in its questions, and pummeled me with suggested "friends" I might like to … Continue reading
