In what world is 34.77% to 35.72% "falling"? I think you are looking at the IE line. Also, IE is way more aggressively advertised and promoted than Chrome is. I've probably seen this ad over 100 times since March: http://www.youtube.com

Chrome, Android, Maps, AdWords (or pretty much all their Ads products), YouTube, Analytics, Docs ... should I keep going?

Google+ has a fantastic "Block" function, you should use it.

I'll take a lighter device + $100 over 16GB + LTE at least until LTE is widely available in my city (which is probably 2-3 years away). But again, ignoring OS which is generally not a good idea when making a phone purchase.

There are both cheaper plans available and you won't be locked in for 2 years. Both, combined, are worth more than the ~$300-$400 phone subsidy over two years that the telco provides.

Bing only has 15% in the US. Globally, it has less than 5% where Google is closer to 90%, so yes, for all intents and purposes, very few people (who would be affected by this policy) use Bing.

People said the same exactly thing w.r.t Android when Windows Phone 7 was released. I think history speaks for itself.

True, buts its a good consolidation/confirmation of what public information there is known about Google's datacenters.

you assume Android isn't trying to compete on features as well. Guess what, it is, and competing in various form factors and price. No offense, but unless this device blows the doors off in reviews (in battery life and usability) this thin

I hear stories like this all the time, but every single person I know that has an Android has very few, if any, problems (most own Samsungs or Nexus phones though). I mean to be honest, I hear a lot more complaining from the iPhone crowd,

When people ask why Nokia isn't selling a lot of Lumias, most people, correctly, answer "Windows Phone". Going with Android puts them in a much better position than Windows Phone for a lot of reasons, and every negative that can be said ab

I think Nokia seriously underestimated the "Instagram/Zynga" factor when they decided to go with Windows Phone. The average consumer does a minimal amount of research before buying a phone, and typically buy whatever the sales representati

If I was a betting man, I would say most of the usage is not in the USA and Europe. Probably primarily in India, Asia, and South America where Google products tend to get a ton of usage. That's really nothing to be ashamed of, but it re

From Vic himself: "Today's number of 100m is just on our plus.google.com destination site and the mobile app. Pretty amazing." I'm going to wager that uploading a photo through instant upload doesn't count as using the mobile app.

probably, but the same can be said about Facebook users. Anyways, Vic expanded more about this metric in the comments: The numbers at I/O were google+ users all across Google. So gmail users who used circles, or Android users who plus oned

And yet you can't install IE9 on Windows XP. You have to wonder why Google should go through the trouble to support users that even Microsoft won't support. Finally, this is not an example of Google pulling "the rug out from under people

This article should really be re-written and titled "iOS6 opens the door for Microsoft and Google". On the hardware front we are reaching a point where only incremental changes are necessary/possible, and even things like wireless charging

Wow, no prices or dates? Fail. (Guess they just wanted to announce/show off the devices before the iPhone5 announcement ... but without prices or dates, the hype is going to fade into non-existence).

Even in those two screens, everything just blends together (especially with the white text on yellow tiles). Just seems like a usability nightmare imo. Regardless, I don't find Android home screens messy at all (although there are a few wi

I am the only one that finds Metro to be ugly (hate the color choices and block-y design) and cluttered? This does not strike me as something I want to see on my home screen: http://d35lb3dl296zwu.cloudfront.net/uploads/photo/image/769...

People are all pointing to the fact that the new iPhone is coming out, and for obvious reasons, the iPhone4s will not sell as well. That said, people are forgetting that this is basically the FIRST TIME that any smartphone has sold more tha

Until people show me that paid results aren't relevant (hint: they usually are), then most of the real estate is fulfilling his purpose. Also, if Google decided to some how change to using 2 columns of organic search so they could squeeze 1

by lawdawg 14y ago
For a query like "credit card", those non-organic results seem much more, if not just as, relevant than the organic results. Why do people assume that if it's an ad that it must be non-relevant? Advertisers wouldn't be advertising on thes
