After the bloodbath yesterday, Google released a statement about query growth. It's very short so here's the text below. Interesting to see a direct response after hearing the soundbite from the trial from Apple's head or services.

"We continue to see overall query growth in Search. That includes an increase in total queries coming from Apple’s devices and platforms. More generally, as we enhance Search with new features, people are seeing that Google Search is more useful for more of their queries — and they’re accessing it for new things and in new ways, whether from browsers or the Google app, using their voice or Google Lens. We’re excited to continue this innovation and look forward

Been getting fed up with CNBC for a while and when i saw this article on the homepage I facepalmed. CNBC is taking the ESPN route of stepping away from actual analysis and discussion. Probably late to the party, but needed to rant

I'm trying to find a video sample to demonstrate what I mean (Top Gear clips are abound with these examples). The headlights seem to flicker in the same way a computer monitor would when appearing on film. Does anyone know why this is? Perhaps I just need my eyes checked...

It seems like there is so much enthusiasm for Google Fiber and so much hate for TWC (as well as Comcast) that their downfall is certain in the long run. Thought/ideas on how to play this?

Bear with me, as I don't have my copy handy, but I believe that in the end of AQWF, Paul commits suicide. After discussing this book at university, the classic interpretation is that he is killed on the front after all his ideals and friends are destroyed from the war. Suicide makes sense because:

*As mentioned, Paul is inconsolable after losing all his friends as well as his hope and spirit. He states this in the last few pages. *One of the last few lines (after Paul has been shot) is something along the lines of "his face looked like it has a smile on it...like he was glad the end had come"

Now for the logistical stuff:

*He says, "I stand up" in part of his last paragraph. Simply st

At the end of the latest episode, an icon shows up on Oscar's screen essentially saying that the 10 years of footage that's been collected throughout The Office will finally air. This raises an interesting point: They've been filming for 10 freaking years and it hasn't aired!!

As such, what do you think is the reason behind all this? I doubt a production company or studio would film something for such a long time with no payoff. Could the whole filming of The Office be a long term social experiment?

Essentially I'm asking what you think the story behind the filming of the show is. Thank you!
