This week in Google

Remember this slogan?

Yeah, once upon a time Google used to operate by this singular standard.

These days? Not so much. As of today, this is what they are calling the Gulf of Mexico.

Yeah, they are sucking up to Trump.

Over at Google Calendar, they are removing Black History Month, Indigenous People Month, Jewish Heritage, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and Hispanic Heritage Month, among others. Their “reasoning”? It is all too hard to keep track of. You know, the site that catalogs the whole ass internet can’t sort a few hundred days properly.

We have a LOT of rich tech folks getting on their knees for an old racist.

Yahoo Will Switch To Bing Search Engine – Lifehacker.com

Granted, apparently Bing is actually useful and a decent search engine. I wouldn’t really know as my history with Microsoft search has been awful. And no, I’m not a knee-jerk Microsoft basher; I’ve just been burned repeatedly to give such reviews much creedence.

So, basically, I use either Google or Yahoo for searching stuff. At least, I used to. Apparently, since Yahoo has some bills to pay off, they are joining forces with M$ and will soon be using the Bing search engine instead of their own useful one.

I guess this only leaves me using Yahoo for email and fantasy sports playing. Boo!
