The top search Google search phrase is "Jessica Alba with Nude iPhone".

On somewhat related news.

I've found out that the built in google maps app on the iPhone does not actually show the same information as maps.google.com, a local street :
north city station drive, sun prairie, wi, 53590
shows up on maps.google.com but not on the iPhone google maps app, however you can get it on your iPhone if you go to maps.google.com in safari and search for it.

I seriously doubt anyone within a 50 mile radius of One Microsoft Way is allowed to use Google. Do it and your cattle will die.

Do it and your cattle will die? Must be what happened to Longhorn...

Re: Google Trends. If you want something really spicy and juicy to read click the trends link for Seth Tobias. He seems to have left no self-indulgence untouched.

Is http://www.youtube.com that hard to remember?

That's just an urban legend concocted by Arnold Horshack.

They just don't make films of that calibre any more.
