However, at least some searches from the video seem a bit cherrypicked. "How much is Angelina Jolie worth?" is throwing an answer: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+is+angelina+jolie+w... But "How much is Brad Pitt worth?" isn't:

I'm sorry, are those spectacular bridges, incredible amount of roads and immaculately clean cities being sustained by the informal tax-evading economy? You can't praise both "worlds" without turning a hair.

Yeah, as if it mattered. It's like checking today's weather to decide whether climatic change is true or not.

Also, let's not forget that, in cladistics taxonomy (virtually the only one used by scientists in scientific journals), birds are dinosaurs. Dinosauria (dinosaurs) -> Saurischia (three-pronged hips) -> Theropoda (bipedal saurischi

"LG also claims that the high density of the display will make it impossible for the human eye to distinguish between individual pixels." Wasn't that already true for Retina displays? Maybe I'm missing something but why keep increasing the

The last part of your comment reminds me of that stock trader who saw the crisis as an opportunity to make a lot of money and was very glad about it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15059135

I also look back at your time on Google fondly, specifically for this 2004 email: Nelson Minar has invited you to open a free Google Gmail account. Thanks for that, man :-)

That's a very shallow view of how the non-autarkic part of the world (to which China certainly belongs) works, China's recent history and the influence of the "cocacolonization" effect. Stating it exerts no pressure whatsoever is an extraor

by vibragiel 15y ago
Yes. Where is the amount, extent, position, size, or value of the pressure exerted on China, that I estimated too highly?
