Dear Google, Please resume scanning books, old magazines and newspapers, which you "paused" some time back. It was sensible to take a wait-and-see approach until this decision was reached. Thank you.

If FF16 was pulled, why did it _just_ (Thu, Oct 11, 12:05pm PST) download and try to update my 15.0.1? (WinXP) That made me . . . uncomfortable.

Yale scientists excitedly, repeatedly explain to anyone in the quad how ketamine vanquishes depression within hours, in, you know, a million million ways (yale.edu) I've read too many Onion headlines to ever read headlines like this again.
