Official Google Blog

Official Google Blog Message from iwmpop@gmail.com : Here you can read all about it. I consider "Google" to be serious and safe, but it's nice to see that they publish the fact as well! Many people say "too powerful" - Well I think "Microsoft" is considerably more dangerous, with millions/billions to lose. Google products are not only good, but almost entirely free - apart from buying supplementary space for various programmes. I think I'll carry on trusting "Google" and distancing myself as much as possible from "Microsoft".

Old articles but in the news...!

Image
 Welcome An older article - dressed up! As you can see - because mrlemarquis never goes on holiday now...! And this isn't in Argentine either - sorry, my mistake! Planet warming time ? Looking forward to a touch of football to warm up the cockles of my heart (it was cold and sunny, just 6C, and with a Mistral wind that cut through everything),  I tuned in to a French TV station who advertised a match in Argentina, live and direct! All I saw at first, were hosepipes being turned on the spectators, and I supposed that those spectators were being naughty again! No, no, no! They were just hot! Here we were, in Southern France, freezing the proverbials, in November, and in Argentina they were cooking the same proverbials in November! Cold and miserable, but happy – somewhere – to know that the Climates seemed to be keeping some sort of regularity! Just hope it warms up soon – here, not there!           ...

A little joke for Saturday....

Image
  Here's a little joke for Saturday - it wouldn't be in good taste to publish it on a Sunday....! ************** Playing Golf Moses and Jesus were in a threesome playing golf one day. Moses pulled up to the tee and drove a long one. The ball landed in the fairway, but rolled directly toward a water hazard. Quickly Moses raised his club, the water parted and it rolled to the other side, safe and sound. Next, Jesus strolled up to the tee and hit a nice long one directly toward the same water hazard. It landed right in the center of the pond and kind of hovered over the water. Jesus casually walked out on the pond and chipped the ball onto the green. The third guy got up and randomly whacked the ball. It headed out over the fence and into oncoming traffic on a nearby street. It bounced off a truck and hit a nearby tree. From there, it bounced onto the roof of a shack close by and rolled down into the gutter, down the drain spout, out onto the fairway and straight towar...

Spam spam - there is only one spam...!

Image
Somebody sent me this (A French person) to ask me if I thought it was genuine! Even although G-mail had headlined it as below, he still wondered! Well- Don't! I've changed the links and mail adress so you won't be tempted! These things have been circulating off and on for a longish period.  If there was any reality, Col. KING wouldn't even be Col. KING (US ARMY ret) - He'd be Col. KING in jail! Other clues to spam are in the misspellings, or bad English (even if it's supposed to be an American!) Don't waste your time, risk your computer or risk even becoming a criminal - It's not worth it, and anyway - what would you do with all that money......?
