Yesterday (or still today in certain time zones) was Data Privacy Day.. I was made aware of this by a doodle on DuckDuckGo.

Of course I opened a new tab and rushed to see what the search engine that I used to use before they became evil had drawn for the event... And well, funny story, Google has totally avoided the subject and instead put up a doodle celebrating the 125th birthday of the biggest recorded snowflake.. p.s. please install Chrome.. Like WTF right ?

As you may know, if you have a Gaccount (Google account), Google has changed their terms of service so that now everything "G" is unified, and what you do in Youtube directly impacts the adverts in your emails, and things you search for.. . etc etc.. And all this with the magic wandish words like "simple", "easy" and "yada yada".

So why has Google omitted Data Privacy Day ? Maybe because data privacy is irrelevant in a system where your personal data lives across over 60 different services.. .. Perhaps I am wrong and it is just an innocent obsession with snowflakes..

BTW, this does not affect you if you do not have any account with Google, so for those rare people out there, bravo. : ]

The new year dead birds mystery has been shortly followed by a other mysterious events. Indeed the streets of London have been invaded literally overnight by Christmas trees. They seem to have just fallen from the sky.

If you are reading this there are chances you already know how to use the Interweb, when you are given an address (url, webiste link, etc) you know how to get there the proper way. However, so many people, and I mean many many many just get it completely wrong. So I thought maybe an image could help explain.

As you can see, when you have the actual address for a site you don't need to use a search engine to find it, you already have it, you may enter it in the "address bar", that is the bar on top circled in green. That is one of it's main uses, the other being that it indicates where you currently are. Would you lookup in the phone book a number you already have ? So why do that with an URL ?

LOLOMG !FAIL.. I'm sure this door was put there because it was cheaper than a window...

Edit note:
As youtube removed this video (like so many others). I had to find it again (because it's been re-posted since of course), this time they can remove it all they want..

i found this while looking for an imaginary movie that would have been called "Bombay the Hard Way" but apparently it doesn't really exist : ]

Maybe if things where really like this i'd become a jesus worshipper

My real problem is that there are more of these

In a small village in france a saw a sign.. the funny part is that it was "translated" to english so that some of the tourists could understand .. . .
