Really Pittsburgh?
Guess there was nothing better to do.
Google this!
I’ll admit, the post was somewhat inspired by my webhost, Senor Jonathan Edwards.
I was looking through my stats (that’s right audience, I know about you…) and one of the nifty things that is tracked is what Google searches have led people to your page.
Thanks to my amazing reporting on this teenage crazy of Sexting, my page is the first thing to show up if someone Google searches for “bombastic sex girl pictures”. I’m not sure if this is really the type of site they are looking for.
On another side note, apparently someone can have “bombastic tits”. That doesn’t really make sense to me. Are they pretentious? Or perhaps they are simply over-inflated.
The more you know.

Google: A Modern Day Super Hero
Shortly after Google proved it could out-perform Sherlock Holmes, the company of innovative geniuses has caught another bunch of “crooks”, this time marijuana farmers in Sweden.
The drugs were hidden from sight by large corn stalks, but when the officers looked at the farmer’s address on Google Earth, they were able to easily distinguish the marijuana plants. The farmers have allegedly sold at least 7.7 tons of marijuana since 2004.
On a side note: Google employees have their own public Picasa web album (another free service hosted by Google). Their pics around the office make me a little jealous. They look like the happiest nerds I’ve ever seen.

Perhaps he should have Googled a few red herrings…
A San Francisco-based investment banker learned the hard-way not to post-meditate his crimes. After accidentally killing 55-year-old Gurdeep Kaur during a drunken hit-and-run, Lee Harbert went home and Googled himself guilty.
Although Harbert told the police he believed he hit a deer (in San Francisco?), police were able to prove otherwise by searching his PC. His Google search history showed search terms such as “auto parts, auto dealers out-of-state; auto glass, Las Vegas; auto glass reporting requirements to law enforcement, auto theft,” among other incriminating inquiries.
The gem that makes this perfect for an Encyclopedia Brown novel? Harpert searched for the term “hit-and-run” and then followed the link to a story about the crime he had committed.

Oh no…not Google
The associated press has a story (hosted by Google) indicating that Google is going to be laying off 100 recruiters and closing down engineering studios that could affect another 70 employees.
Google has up until now been an unstoppable force on the web. It’s a little terrifying to see your superheros fall. I guess even the business model of offering up everything for free may not be recession proof.
