That makes sense, if virtually every update didn't promote the likes of Amazon, eBay, and Google properties. Small businesses are toast and getting toaster by the update

You are naive, even if disavow works, Google runs this update every six months are so. Do you realize what a traffic drop does to a business with payroll to meet?

Google knows about this and supposedly fixed that. But clustering reduces choices, increasing ad clicks and forcing companies to advertise (because they are not receiving that traffic.) (Downvote if you will but I doubt Google's intentions

The reality is that they will eventually find a company or five that will do exactly what they asked. Thanks to their checkbook. Moxie: Do not go to Saudi Arabia, you are probably persona non-grata by now.

Brilliantly put. I see some tech bloggers go through "specs" of speed, only to forget the data cap. If money is not an issue, then maybe, but most people usage over the cap will truly bite.

You could have been a "hero" to some stranger. Broke but a hero :) I agree 100% with your attitude by the way. Now you have time and resources to do nothing or to do the next thing.

Rumors are that Google favors those with Google+ 'likes' so I'm surprised businesses are taking a chance of not using them more. The pro/con scenarios are in favor of having an active Google+ page, at least for large businesses and brands.

You "need" to, in the same way an engagement ring "needs" to be diamond and cost 3x your salary. Certain things matter! WTF? We're talking about a PHONE CALL vs a tweet for your mom not spending $20K. If you can't spare five minutes, don'

Mothers Day -- you as a son/daughter show the appreciation for the sacrifices she made raising you . A birthday is totally different. And of course you don't "need" to, the sun will still rise the day after if you don't, but certain things

Yeah but 1000 years is different from 4000 etc, especially since we're talking about national identities. Many if not most modern Greeks, for example, still feel special and superior because they believe that they're direct ancestors of the

Major as is 4% of the vote for a compnay valued at almost $280 Billion is decided by ONE person. Add that of Bill Gates, Bill's foundation, maybe Paul Allen and it ads up. The point was mostly that virtually all his fortune is tied with Mic

With those two (Windows and Office natch) cash cows a sufficiently tech-savvy bonobo could CEO Microsoft and turn a profit each and every quarter. Heck, even I could. Sure you could. Even Apple and Jobs were lucky to beat you to the punch

I thought so too until I looked at MS's number over his tenure. Amazing growth and lots of money returned to shareholders. They may not get the press but they are minting cash and entering new businesses every year. They have over a dozen $

Maybe he's there to hype the crap out of the companies they invest in? Hyping and writing is all he does.

Fine. Why would a normal person need this, especially since this is in addition to his/her smartphone? Instead of looking like a dork all the time with G glasses on, why not look at the phone for a restaurant or directions and then put it
