			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I noticed when on Google.com just before that it now has an Alexa rank of 1 when I am pretty sure that it was 2 not along ago (Yahoo.com originally was number 1). Although Alexa rank is generally not regarded as an accurate depiction of real traffic, it&#8217;s still pretty impressive because the lower you go on Alexa, the harder it gets to get a lower ranking.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure how long Google has been in front now because I&#8217;ve never paid attention to Google&#8217;s ranking considering I was used to it being stagnant. It&#8217;s a sign that Google is growing and an insight into Alexa data for Yahoo.com suggests that it&#8217;s falling behind a little more each day.</p>
<p>I know it&#8217;s nothing overly interesting, just wondering if anyone has noticed the change and when it happened?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Appple tries to capitalise on Twitters current buzz in the Internet and media by doing a write about Twitter on their Apple site.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What happens when a large company like Apple respected by many (fan boys) for it&#8217;s hardware and software offerings <a href="http://www.apple.com/business/profiles/twitter/" target="_blank">profiles Twitter on it&#8217;s website</a>? You get thousands of fan boy Apple nerds getting cyber erections and probably masturbating over the news as we speak.</p>
<p>Apple basically goes on about how Twitter uses mainly Apple products to run the site and it&#8217;s operations, which is fair enough. Twitter is getting a lot of buzz lately and Apple being a company after all of course are going to capitalise on the fact that most of the staff at Twitter use Apple products.</p>
<p>Now before you think I am biased, I do agree that Apple make awesome products. I do believe that Apple have revolutionised a lot of things over the years from computers to music players and even mobile phones with it&#8217;s iPhone offering, but eww.</p>
<p>But whether it be Apple, Linux or Windows, who cares? Does it even matter if Twitter use Apple products, do you actually find it interesting enough to be amazed by it? Are they implying they couldn&#8217;t run Twitter in a Linux or Windows environment?</p>
<p>If Apple supposedly make secure products for use in a business environment (even Twitter), why is it that in the PWN 2 OWN contest run in 2008 the <a href="http://www.techworld.com/security/news/index.cfm?newsid=11825" target="_blank">Apple Macbook Air was hacked within 2 minutes</a>? Yet, Vista and Linux weren&#8217;t so easy.</p>
<p>Apple may make pretty products, but in reality, a lot of people only use them because it&#8217;s the in thing to do really. This is nothing more than a PR stunt by Apple capitalising and most likely taking Twitter and Apple product use out of context.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you thought getting your application approved to be placed into the Apple Application Store wasn&#8217;t already difficult enough, it would seem an application where you get to shake a crappily drawn baby that doesn&#8217;t even remotely look real to death is morally wrong now, and the public + major blogs and news outlets are as well, they are a breed of new politcally correct application police officers complaining on your behalf  about pointless things like a mobile phone application.</p>
<p>Morally wrong? So invading another country based on lies and killing people, capturing them and then torturing them as well is morally right, but creating an application where you get to shake a non-existent baby is morally wrong and people all of a sudden make a stand against it? What. The. Fuck.</p>
<p>A TechCrunch blog author even <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/22/feel-like-shaking-a-baby-to-death-theres-an-app-for-that" target="_blank">wrote a story about it</a> and in it mentioned a lady who&#8217;s baby was injured after being shaken by the father (this is the lady that brought the application to the attention of <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10225016-37.html" target="_blank">CNET</a>, which basically started a big shit-storm). Uh, remind me again what a lady who&#8217;s baby was shaken by the father has to do with an application again other than the goal of the application is to shake a baby? Maybe the lady should have been more focused on I don&#8217;t know, looking after her fucking child.</p>
<p>Grow the hell up people. If you don&#8217;t like baby shaking applications, then don&#8217;t download them. If you do, then that&#8217;s your <span class="p">prerogative</span>. It&#8217;s ironic, if someone made an application just like this but replaced the baby with George Bush instead, and it was approved, no one would even complain about it! hows that for double standards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google Recently introduced a new service into it&#8217;s pool of about 1,000 other services it already has called <a href="http://www.google.com/profiles/" target="_blank">Google Profiles</a> which allows stalkers to easily identify you in Google searches.</p>
<p>Gone are the days when a potential employer would do a Google search on your name only to discover you&#8217;ve been secretly boasting about ripping off your previous company and stealing information, and thus costing you the job you wanted so dearly.</p>
<p>Now a potential employer, stalker or debt collector can simply type your name into Google and find all there is to know about you and where to potentially find you.</p>
<p>This new service from Google is very useful, but at the same time if you&#8217;re not careful you might find yourself in some psychopaths shed shackled to the walls while he tortures your anal passage with things not meant to be put into that area.</p>
<p>Want to hunt down an old girlfriend or school bully and perhaps teach him a lesson? Want to find that ex-wife that you used to beat everynight and day only to discover she skipped town with the kids while you were at the bar? Use Google Profiles, and say thanks Google.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Has Oprah bloated Twitter to the point where it will mainly consist of inactive users who signed up because Oprah said it was cool?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently Oprah found out about this big net thing that let&#8217;s you get information on stuff called the Internet. Soon after finding out about this &#8216;Internet thing&#8217;, she found the website Twitter (you know the time wasting website with the dumb owners who can&#8217;t answer questions in interviews?) and created an account.</p>
<p>Now with anything Oprah does, she blabs on and on about it on her television show, &#8220;The Oprah Winfrey Show&#8221;. And naturally anything Oprah likes, does, eats or says, the salivating dogs, oops, I mean stalker crazy fans will also like, do, eat and listen to everything Oprah says and does.</p>
<p>So Oprah goes &#8220;Folks, I&#8217;ve found a special website that allows you to send messages on the Internet, oh my god people, can you imagine such a thing that allows you to do that?&#8221;. Her audience then gasps in amazement as they have never heard of Twitter, let alone the Internet before.</p>
<p>So then, a few thousand soccer mothers bug their children to find this Twitter thing because Oprah uses it. Now here&#8217;s the trivial question: Will these new signups thanks to Oprah&#8217;s big fat mouth be one signin wonders? Will these baby making, male hating feminists use it once because Oprah does and then forget they signed up or don&#8217;t know how to use it due to their tiny brains?</p>
<p>I think Oprah has just bloated Twitter with a lot of users who won&#8217;t do anything but inflate Twitter&#8217;s user count, which I am sure they will be grateful for as they can use it to gain more funding if they need it.</p>
