Re: Google Adds Disclaimer Ad to Results for
—
This is getting absurd. First, an arguably racist photo caricature of the US president's wife, Michelle Obama, appeared in a search for her name, and Google decided to launch a disclaimer ad campaign on those results.

Your thoughts on waving so far
—
We're thankful that so many people have been willing to try out Google Wave in a host of different areas: personal, business, government, education and even not-for-profit. We've been glad to see positive responses, especially since we're still in a limited preview and not quite ready to give accounts to everyone who has requested one.

Here’s something that won’t be coming to the iPhone any time soon – an app store for Porn. Apple keeps ‘adult-only’ content off the iPhone. On Android there are no such restrictions and one company has taken that to its natural conclusion by launching the world’s first mobile store for porn.

If you're anything like me - and let's for all of our sakes pray that you're not - then your first thought as you stagger back to your desk today, bloated and giddy after Thanksgiving , will likely be "what can I do to kill time until the end of the week?" Actual work is out of the question, obviously. If you're a PC person then there's always ...

Over the last few days, Facebook has apparently been rolling out some UI changes to a small number of users, moving many of the navigation elements that currently rest at the bottom of the screen back to the left sidebar.
