[citation][nom]domenic[/nom]It's completely off topic but the company that claims that they “don’t do evil” are considering (maybe) doing something VERY evil with a very Evil company (Verizon)[/citation]
And Intel claims it hasn't been anti-competitive, and so has Microsoft. Oh, and Steve Job's claims you're holding your iPhone wrong. If you take claims at face value you're going to end up a very misguided person. Companies lie, that's a fact of life. They pay entire departments (PR) to lie and spin their way out of everything.
 
[citation][nom]pocketdrummer[/nom]AGREED!!!I couldn't believe it when I saw it, but I will drop EVERYTHING google if they do that. Hell, I'll use bing, I don't care.[/citation]

google is starting to slow down a lot. when it has a fresh install it's fast but after a few days it starts to get slow to the point where it can't find the web pages you are looking for. i am back to firefox. maybe it's because they are trying to send all your info to google

Every, and I mean every benchmark, gives Chrome about twice the speed of FF. And that lasts, even after a few days. Being a fanboy is not a good thing...

But try Opera - even faster than Chrome, and just as independent from Google as FF.

Too bad benchmarks are, for the most part, meaningless. I've used Chrome and it isn't twice as fast... unless I run Peacekeeper.
 
I would like to defend Google about misinformation. The public statement from Google regarding the Verizon deal is not tiered internet. It is about allowing higher priority to certain types of applications, not certain websites. This means that video may be given higher priority than VOIP because it requires it to run properly. The question is, how does Google actually benefit from this deal? It seems to be that this is a regulation issue that they should both be dealing with the government, not each other.
