Hello, Miss?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Did anyone play the Google Halloween game[^] today?
It's pretty fun, drawing shapes with your mouse to defeat ghosts.

I strongly dislike the google doodles. All of them and just want to search for what I want like before.
|
|
|
|
|
They're not in the way, are they?
Instead of:
GOOGLE
[search field]
It's now:
DOODLE
[search field]
 
|
|
|
|
|
I thought the doodle was activated only if I clicked on it. The search would work like it always does otherwise.
|
|

I tend toward agreeing.
I don't want google to be part of my life, to be my (oh-so-fake-moronic-marketing-style) *friend*; I just want them to provide the goods and services they purport to provide.
They, on the other hand, seem to think that they should act as if they were part of my family, constantly sending me messages and talking to me in far-too familiar tones about what browser, etc, I should use, how nice they are about my privacy, and so on.
It's because they talk to me as if we were buddies that I use Yahoo search. They never pop up messages, or add them to the top of search results, and nor to they continually spam me with "Hey, Buddy!" e-mails; they just do their job.
So I never even see the doodles/Easter eggs that these oh-so-lovely "friends of mine" make, and e-mails from them are redirected to a look-in-here-when-you-feel-like-getting-p1ssed-off-with-marketing-morons directory (which I usually only check after logging in on new android devices).
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Odd - I play the google games and visit the various celebratory creations they make.
Never get anything from them. I don't have a gmail account, or for that matter, no social network connections (except CP - is/isn't that pathetic?). I don't even like sending email to gmail accounts as they can still profile me via the TOS agreed to by those with such accounts.
Maybe helpful? I use firefox with an ad-blocker, flash-cookie killer, and Ghostery's blocking of all those other little nasties. I'll often open/click/follow CP Offers - gotta do my bit.
Maybe you need to up-your-counter measures-game ?

Oh? How about the Internet of Things? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

The scariest part about Crystal Reports is that it's not a ghost nor undead, it's very much alive!

Mickeysoft was sometimes scary in the past, but at some point in the last ten years they finally went over the edge for good.
