A shift in usage from desktops to mobile will not take down Google; if anyone were in a position to embrace this sort of change, Google would be a top contender. As for Facebook, I would venture to say that it is reaching the end of its life-cycle.

Google is like a Road Map, which collects a little bit from any gas station, restaurant or hotel you ask about along the way. They are a starting point and make money on referal.

facebook is a destination. You go there to share pictures, natter a bit or nose around your connections connections connections. If you want to research anything to buy you go back to Google.

If you cannot do business honestly, don't do it at all.

Yeah, if Microsoft were held to that particular standard they would have been out of business a long time ago.

Microsoft has hardly been an innovator. I wonder who they bought the patent from.

I wonder who funded this particular study. ;-)

I switched from Facebook to Google+, and I use it almost exclusively now. The population is smaller, but the discussions are better. On Facebook, I'm linked to personal friends, on Google+, I'm linked to people all over based on common interests. I like G+ better.

Opus Dei To Hunt Down Vatican Whistle-Blowers 286

from the dan-brown-hangs-his-head-dejectedly dept.

First time accepted submitter Aguazul2 writes "In a familiar story relocated into the bizarre world of the Vatican, a whistle-blower who brought to light excessive overpayments on contracts to friendly suppliers was sent to the USA as punishment, and further sources of leaks are now being hunted down by a crack team headed by an 82-year old Opus Dei cardinal. It's just like Wikileaks, only with parchment and quills — probably."
