Just got a thirteen days old SMS. On average it was travelling at the speed of a stage-coach pulled by lazy nags. The time is ripe for the post to enter competition! Fear upon you GSM providers! Jeez…

German Google shows sponsored links. Just wondering what’s the logic behind them. I googled for Windows i18n function GetDateFormat, and got these ads:

I’m sure someone looking for GetDateFormat, will want to get a date, but it’s not get date as in fun, it’s rather GetDate() as in function. So why was it that GOOG didn’t meet the analysts’ expectations?

Here’s a nice one: Go to Google.com, select the language tools. Here you can choose, among others, the language of Google interface. Now, as you move the cursor over the various languages in “Use the Google Interface in Your Language”, look at the link address in the status bar. Some links have a longer language abbreviation, which starts with “xx-”. Twy them all :-)
