Well, the other day there was a bit of a ditty on Google controlling book rights. And we all love google (is it a capital ‘G’ or a small ‘g’?). And we all love youtube.
And now, there’s no need for kids to actually know anything, so long as they know google.
I wonder how google can help me teach my debating classes (well they can and they do but that’s another story).
Scaremongering/taking the piss/and actually finding info all can be done quite easily. Besides, one of those links came from Australia’s ABC, the long-searching foe of anything relevant to their existence… and those last two links were from newscorp and fairfax, respectively (pardon the pun).
Now, if my mate who sent me those first two links wants to back it up with any opinion and/or a bit more substance and thought, he is more than welcome to… as are all who peruse this site.
Game on.

PS If you want thought. Listen to Bush when he ad libs. Ad libs; that means the teleprompters are off and the daily CIA briefings are on. The politics are off and the reality is on. Note, Obama has changed his tune recently, too. Don’t s’pose it could be for the same reasons?

I think Google is not controlling all info.
Instead,Google collects nearly all the info in the net .
Right ???

Google is my friend. But no one should use it without a finely tuned bullshit filter.

Hope so, Tony. You’re probably right. BTW, nice free plug. Tizona’s will let it go this once.

Off Topic, but you should look into this, Ash. It’s how we (if “we” are savvy enough…okay, how YOU) can set a Blog Avatar so that it, instead of the WordPress “W”, shows up in the blog address bar, and in pingbacks.

Gotta take off now, catch y’all later.

Who says I haven’t already Spot? 😉
It’s just not working, which is annoying me no end considering I did it yesterday.
GRRRRR!

Ah… Well if anyone can tame our blog widgets into submission, it’d be you, Ash!

There is no good way of writing this, so I’ll just have to put it out there and have all of you imagine the horrible picture, but:
