    Password lost for Google

    A friend of mine has lost access to Google. The friend needs it for their Gmail account. I tried to do a password reset, but that did not work. All it did was ask for any password, then for an email address. A code was sent and given to Google, however, Google refused to do anything more. The...

    Place Not Your Trust in Big Data

    I've always been suspiciously wary of dedicating my computing and data to the ubiquitous cloud. I want real programs running on my computer and my data in a box within my sight. I often get laughed at as some sort of dinosaur; yearning for the days of command lines and removable disks. And...

    Google ReCAPTCHA

    Am I the only one on the web that hates Google ReCAPTCHA? You know, "Click all the images that have TRAFFIC LIGHTS"? I HATE them! I hate the fact they're so damned ambigious. Is a square where there is only a little bit of the flange of the light fixture supposed to be clicked on not? What...

    DuckDuckGo

    Well, Google's constant demands for me to confirm that they can do what the hell they like with my info (There's an 'accept' button, no option not to) has finally caused me to switch to a different search engine. DuckDuckGo seems reasonable. Is it? What's the search engine of choice for the...

    What does Google Know about You?

    When I go to the following url that I found on Google News: http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/04/21/good-question-what-does-google-know-about-you/ I get: :scared: Though, in fact it should not be news to anyone that's been keeping up. I very rarely log on to Google and do not use gmail. ;)

    What are forum robot viewers under who's online?

    They don't show up here but on another forum I'm on in addition to 'guests' and 'members' it also shows robots under who's on the forum currently. So are they collecting advertiser data, are they search engines, or ???? I'd like to learn a bit more about them. Thanks.

    Google Keep - notetaking service

    Google today launched Keep, its own notetaking app for tablets and phones running Android 4+. It doesn't seem to be available on a browser yet like Google Drive, I would imagine that that's coming soon. It seems to do much the same job as Evernote or similar services. Vid: UbvkHEDvw-o Just...

As a result you can see how the usuage of phrases like "rock and roll", "The Great War", "World War I", etc. has waxed and waned over the past...
