What do these madmen think they are doing to the economy!?!? What kind of internet company bursts its own bubble and takes my one share with it?:
After hailing the results of an 18-month effort to boost advertising revenue, Reyes said it would be increasingly difficult to maintain Google's rapid growth. "Most of what's left is just organic growth, which means you have to find ways to grow your traffic," Reyes said. "Clearly, our growth rates are slowing, and you see that each and every quarter." Reyes later put a more positive spin on his remarks. "I am not turning bearish at all," he said near the end of a 45-minute session that was webcast. "I think we have a lot of growth ahead of us. I think it's just a question of at what rate."With a court order against it over copyright and images, another having to be made about the bizzare concept of "click fraud" and recent flops like Google Analytics - maybe they are coming to realize that they live in the world, that there is no magic and that they are kinda running out of ideas. Ask yourself this. What could Google do for you that it is not doing now?

Find a way of fitting eggs, cheese & bacon into a convenient and portable breakfast / energy bar type snack -- that also has zero percent chance of leaking bacon grease onto your dress pants.

Yes! When we were in Lancaster PA summer of 2004, the admirable Best Western had exactly that product in the breakfast nook - an eggamahuffin in a wrapper.

Somebody ought to be marketing those things nationwide.
Whereas McD's has gone to the opposite end of the spectrum with the McGriddle -- making the eggs/cheese/bacon combo even <i>more</i> greasy by slapping it between syrup-infused mini-flapjacks.

But for your pant grease thing, they really have to be in Apollo moon launch style food-in-tube format.

Ah, the problem of being renegades out to change the 'system'. Eventually you become the 'system' and the rep begins to become mere hype. Such is the progression. Napster. Apple. Microsoft. Now google. But you left out google's image problem for ratting on dissidents in the PRC.

I did check out those sites comparing Google Images for China and everywhere else. "Do not evil" is pretty embarassing. More like "see no evil".
