Thanks for telling me this. I didn't know it.

But I would like to see SOME sort of remembrance.

Well, tomorrow is actually Memorial Day. Maybe tomorrow they will.

[quote] So, your idea is the virtual equivalent of marching up and down demanding that Google acquiescence to conservatives.

That's not adhering to conservative principles, that's knee-jerk liberalism. [/quote]

"Umm", where do you get the idea that complaining is only something liberals do, or invented, or even SHOULD do???

Seems to me we left the Empire of Britain after complaining about it for over a DECADE! Were all our founding fathers leftists?

I think YOUR burgers have burnt to a crisp by now.

Oops, I guess you don't know how to change your opening page do you. Or perhaps you are a communist and don't believe in the competitive marketplace.

All I hear is you crying waa waa, I don't like google. Well use something else. Does someone have a gun to your head forcing you to use it? Start your own search engine if you want. it doesn't make me smarter than you, just wiser.

Wow you are really the tolerant one. The point being made is that Google claims no bias but time after time they prove otherwise. Whether it's stacking search results towards a leftward skew or, as the matter at hand, not showing a reasonable recognition of those who have died in the service of their country, Google constantly proves that they have a subversive agenda called liberalism-by-any-means-possible.

I saw no argument that Google HAS to change their ways but rather that anyone that has a conservative belief system is in essence demeaning themselves if they use Google as their primary search engine. There was nothing about how Google has to change there ways - anyone with a pulse knows there are a multitude of search engines to choose from.

For some reason you and EEE have to accuse the original poster of some transgression that was never perpetrated in the first place. Childish really.

I think it is officially the 29th. That would be today.Or is there some arcane reason you wish to celebrate a day later than the rest of the country?

This is an "in your face" act by the Google top brass. They are off my list of favorites.

Sure, if you want to take a page from the lefties.

Pressuring an organization by showing the displeasure of the customer base is as free market as you can get. Back to Econ 101 for you.

Have fun "pressuring" them when most of their users are already freaking liberals.

Actually it was 30 May for years...when I was growing up- it wasn't a 3 day weekend- it was called Decoration Day and it was 30 May- regardless of the day of the week it fell on...

That's a different topic. The topic was that they didn't have a cute cuddly graphic on their logo.

Google works for me and my business. I don't know what you're searching for that gives liberal results. Porn? ROFL

That huge database they're compiling on search results is worth big bucks... now granted, you and i not using Google doesn't really do anything to discredit that database, but every little bit helps. Regardless, I dislike Google, but I don't care enough to stop using them yet. I hope Microsoft crushes them in the next Vista release, but they seem rather tame in their bite since Clinton/Reno dealt their anti-Capitalist tirade upon them.

Not that Microsoft's a conservative company by any stretch either, but they're better than most tech companies.

Okay, they don't have a "cute cuddly graphic". Although your statement is completely demeaning and says a lot about you and your take on today, the second portion is even better.

"...works for me and my business." And then you go on to say how the poster must be searching for porn. Wow. You care about no one or nothing do you? Except the almighty dollar and your business.

I thought I was shallow. Your heart is dead. Enjoy the money, while we remember and show respect to those that made your emptiness a possible reality.

Again, just wow. Your steaks are leather by now.

Google built a better mousetrap than the earlier search engines, that tried to be user's homepages by offering them mailboxes and other ad-supported, graphic-intensive crap. People just want to search without the BS.

That kind of the point they once "where then better mousetrap" that searched without the BS... but is that still the case?...nothing is static in this market and change can be for better or worse

Customers are now noting and complaining about Google starting to add there own "BS" in there search engines of a politically filter...

I do not see how a customer complained about a product not meeting their expectation or need or no longer meeting that their expectation or need is "anti free market"...

A customer can be wrong to the degree that the product still does what it always did, or a customer can misunderstand stand what in fact the product does offer.......

But a customer complained about a product not meeting there expectation or need or no longer meeting that there expectation or need is not anti free market..

I've done a lot of customer support over the years and a customer can be mistaken on there understanding, expectation or availability of a product .....but a customer can not be wrong in saying there "wants"...

A customer saying, complaining and bitching about their unsatisfied issue and wants is what creates the free market in the first place ...

Because someone comes along and meets it and make a profit doing it...there gold in them complains...

It not always "you build the product and then sell it"... it you find the wants, what people are bitching for, and provides it... at least any company I worked for did that
