Either I'm tired or you're rambling, but in either case there's still one thing I want to pick out of that mess.
quote:
for most people the assuming-they're-wrong approach is probably the right one, because most people are quite stupid.
There's stupid and there's stupid, and there's also smart-but-hasn't-a-clue-about-computers-so-appears-stupid.
Which isn't a particularly eloquent way of putting it, so I made a picture:
Which is of course a massive oversimplification, but enough to make the point.
Just because a lot of people are stupid and a lot of people can't use computers doesn't mean Google should be dumbed down and made more difficult to use for smart people.
Anyway. You no doubt realise that, and might even pretend that you didn't forget for a moment, but I felt like making a pretty picture. Even if it isn't pretty. Or strictly a picture.
Anyway.
I've also noticed Google's recent shitness with results - I'm actually pleasantly surprised when what I want is in the top five results these days (except when I'm expecting Wikipedia, when I'm surprised when it's not), which is depressing.
But, I can't make a GoogleKiller, because I don't have the resources for that at the moment, and - unless someone randomly surprises me with something in the region of £800k - I wont have them for a long while.
Besides, Google needs to wait until I've conquered Facebook and Twitter. It'll be much easier once I've beaten them.
