I know I bop around a lot content-wise here. People have asked me about some of the Cocktails of the Week that have scrolled off the page in particular. Put your minds at ease, everything you are looking for is still here.
Google and The Onion: the parody that isn't.
Everyone knows Google - it's the verb we love, the internet search that's our ubiquitous friend. Google may have started out with a search engine but they are much more now. Google is a web browser (Chrome), an email client (Gmail), a messaging app (Talk), and voice chat (Voice). Google is an office suite that comprehensively manages your documents and calendar (Google Apps). Google is an operating system not just for your computer (Chrome), but for your cell phone (Android). Google is YouTube, Google Earth, and Google Maps.
Not only does Google have a picture of your house, they know your address, what you write and to whom, who you email and message with, what you store on your computer's hard drive (Google Desktop). They know what you do on your Android phone. They know what addresses you look up on Maps, and they know what photos you saved and look at with Picasa. This all seems great in the surface, but it would be wise to remember:
Google isn't in business to provide us with free stuff.
