Why Google? Why?!!

    I've been trying to google something for work for the past half an hour but I can't stop playing that stupid icesweeper game on the searchpage.:(

    Why can't google be satisfied with being the supreme internet search engine? What do they want from us? Is is a secret ploy to trap us in the googleweb forever? Are they taking on the might of xbox and playstation? Or is some google employee just plain bored?

    See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. If I want bread I go to the shop. If I want to sleep I go to bed. If I want to play video games I play video games. And if I want to google something I use google.

    Gogle are disrupting the forces of nature here, and I, for one, won't stand for it. :(

    I might be an idiot, but I'm an idiot with an ice-polishing machine, and that makes me dangerous.

    I use the wee search box at the top right of the Firefox browser. Type shit in, instant Googling.

    But that means moving the cursor all the way up there, do you realise how much time you waste by doing that. Google Home is much more expedient.

    I thought this thread was going to be about Google getting rid of the safesearch off option, looks like I'm going to have to start my own thread...
