A grape story, although not too cherry under the circumstances. Actually, a real pity.

The thief was using his melon, knowing the police would think you were bananas if you called.

I heard the thief needed money so that he and his girl friend could marry. You canteloupe without it. And considering she was ugli but had rose hips, I guess his considerable passion fruit made that mango.

Well Griff - judging from the replies I would say that this is your most fruitful TOTD ever!

Cigarettes After Sex - Each Time You Fall In Love[^]
Stumbled upon this American ambient pop group last week.
I put on a playlist and before I knew it I had been working for over an hour straight without distractions.
So this awesome chill out music is also good for concentration (well, mine at least).
Also, don't fall asleep

A year or so ago I stumbled upon a site and couldn't remember the name.
It actually has a lot of tech articles (though, beware, it does have ads too).
I searched Google and Bing for "Mount flash drive on linux" because I remembered I was searching for something like that when I found it.
I had to go 5 pages deep into the Google results (and 4 pages deep on Bing) to find MakeUseOf - Technology, Simplified[^]
2 Questions
1. How does a site like this ever get found? Few searchers go 4 or 5 search results pages deep.
2. Is StackExchange taking over the web? those are almost always the first results  (blech!)
When Google and Bing are your vision into the Internet you get what they give you and not much else. You have a huge selection (the entire Internet), but you can only find limited choices.
Too bad.
It feels a bit like WalMart. If the only place you can shop is WalMart, then you can only buy what WalMart sells. 
I tried DuckDuckGo also and makeuseof.com was way at the bottom.
Maybe MakeUseOf.com is just bad at SEO? I don't know, but I don't know how sites like that one ever get found.

Oops, I was not talking about CP. I was talking about the MakeUseOf.com site.
CP is generally up there in the rankings.

Na, this is one big drawback of Google and generally speaking all search engines, because they actually decide of lots of things in your life.
I have standard options set to avoid StackExchange, Pinterest and other SE pollutions, e.g. -pinterest -stack ... added to every search by default.
qwant.com is also a good search engine, even if in your case, it does not return MakeUseOf neither.

Define "relevant"... Is it relevant for you, or relevant for Google ...?

Absolutely. Google is incredibly good at giving me results that help me find what I need very quickly. Based on QA, maybe it's a skill I've developed. I think it's pretty straightforward though.
