SAN Cloud 9- It starts with a name (sometimes) then...: The Great Google Caught Flat Footed!

SAN Cloud 9- It starts with a name (sometimes) then...: The Great Google Caught Flat Footed!: " idea of "Google" being some sort of monopoly. This concept may come into play with certain standard online advertising concepts like CPC (cost per click) and Page Rank (a google term as in Google Page Rank). Thankfully there are some other website metrics out there like, Alexa tool bar ratings for example that also have some very important statistics that are not controlled by Google, rather Alexa is owned by Amazon.

Yet this is the story of how I found google promoting product that is not yet even in any sort of preliminary or even Beta Version!

Is it okay for a giant resource locator, like Google, to promote a product that does not yet even exist?

I am talking about: http://www.picapp.com/

Now when a small independent Web Developer, such as myself, attempt to create some level of hype, interest excitement, or even simply promoting a domain, that may well be for sale. it understandable when such a developer pepper his postings with some hype about an upcoming project.

Israel must Just Say No-to Negotiation Processes Mediated by Tyranny and Mutation of Justice.

Israel must Just Say No-to Negotiation Processes Mediated by Tyranny and Mutation of Justice.: "The final component of establishing and continuing to safeguard the rights of the US, Israel, and all of the other, peace-loving and cultured nations of the world, is to maintain the proper stance in effectively preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Focusing on 1000 or so murderous bandits who just got released from prison while ignoring a nation which is dangerously close to obtaining nuclear weapons is like concerning oneself with a small colony of ants ruining your picnic when you have just heard the unmistakable growl"

SCREW-UP: Groupon Told Employees They'd Be Able To Sell Stock Friday – And That's Not True!

SCREW-UP: Groupon Told Employees They'd Be Able To Sell Stock Friday – And That's Not True!: " Groupon management told employees that they would be able to sell some of their stock in the company the same day that it goes public (Friday).
This turned out not to be true.
Why is this a big deal?
Sources close to Groupon employees tell us that some of them took the original information and made big financial decisions based on it. They started looking at paying for stuff: cars, housing, tuition, and savings.
Also, this kind of mistake also contributes to the notion that Groupon might not be ready to be a public company."

THE TRUTH ABOUT GROUPON: The Devil's In The Revenue Details

THE TRUTH ABOUT GROUPON: The Devil's In The Revenue Details: "Is Groupon a "Ponzi scheme," as many critics have alleged?

CHARTS: Here's What The Wall Street Protesters Are So Angry About...

CHARTS: Here's What The Wall Street Protesters Are So Angry About...: "Do they have legitimate gripes?
To answer the latter question first, yes, they have very legitimate gripes.
And if America cannot figure out a way to address these gripes, the country will likely become increasingly "de-stabilized," as sociologists might say. And in that scenario, the current protests will likely be only the beginning.
The problem in a nutshell is this: Inequality in this country has hit a level that has been seen only once in the nation's history, and unemployment has reached a level that has been seen only once since the Great Depression. And, at the same time, corporate profits are at a record high."

CHARTS: Here's What The Wall Street Protesters Are So Angry About...

CHARTS: Here's What The Wall Street Protesters Are So Angry About...: "But the protesters have not done a good job of focusing their complaints—and thus have been skewered as malcontents who don't know what they stand for or want.
(An early list of "grievances" included some legitimate beefs, but was otherwise just a vague attack on "corporations." Given that these are the same corporations that employ more than 100 million Americans and make the products we all use every day, this broadside did not resonate with most Americans)."

Scott Walker's Chicago Speech Interrupted By 'Covert' Protesters: 'We Are The 99 Percent' (VIDEO)

Scott Walker's Chicago Speech Interrupted By 'Covert' Protesters: 'We Are The 99 Percent' (VIDEO): "Walker, who made many enemies by stripping unions of their collective bargaining rights, faces a potential recall and dwindling approval ratings in his home state, but he still has some powerful fans.
From the Union League Club's invitation:

Faced with mounting deficits and busted budgets, the freshman Governor took on powerful political interests – and won. In this talk, Governor Walker will review the challenges confronting Wisconsin (hint: they will sound familiar to Illinois residents), and what he proposes to overcome them. New realities are overtaking established institutions -- meet one of the young governors who is shaping the future of states in our federal system.
According to Stand Up! Chicago, the 70 protesters who attended the breakfast comprised almost half the total number of attendees.
