POPSWeblog Disclaimer Heretofore and unto now, a blogger hosted weblog has had to rely exclusively on the blanket disclaimer provided for the corporate body of blog*spot addresses. While this kind of disclaimer is usually sufficient to protect a blogger from liability, it falls short when dealing with inherently offensive content, websites with a mind of their own and authors who are excessively paranoid about being dragged into court. With the above firmly borne in mind, we propose this weblog disclaimer.

POPS"Google this: 'Patriotism'" bing is supposedly more "family friendly" than Google. I recommend swagbucks.com. You can earn points or swagbucks when you search that can later be exchanged for swag. You don't get a buck with every search but as you use searches over time you start to build them up. The swag at their store can range from gift cards to MP3 player to tee shirts to musical instruments. They even have an area where you can swap video games with others & earn extra swagbucks. I've just started using this site so I haven't been with them long enough to rack up too many bucks but I have a friend that bought her husband an iTunes gift card for his birthday this year which was nice since money is tight at their house right now.

POPSUnexplained Phenomenon Google Logo: Can You Explain It? telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/ flooded with inquiries and theories on the subliminal message. The logo, showing a classic saucer-shaped spacecraft shining a light down on the search-engine's regular logo, has been the subject of much speculation. The world's internet voices want to now whether the all-powerful web giant is trying to tell us something. But nobody can work out why Google has chosen this date to put a UFO logo on the world's most visited web page. "Does anybody know what's going on?" asks one. "Aliens landed on Earth this day last year," offers another blogger by way of explanation. Some think Google's global dominance may extend beyond this planet. "If Google says the aliens are coming, I'm getting out of here," says one US blogger. One of the things bothering the online community is that early on Saturday morning the new logo could be seen in some places, but not others. "Am I the one that is going crazy?" asks

POPSEasy Google Profit And Other Work-At-Home Scams Then it zeroes in on, and praises “Easy Google Profit,” which offers people work from home posting links on Web sites using text advertising applications. It all looked legitimate; except, as the reporter points out, the “Miami Gazette” does not exist. And in tiny, hard to read type below the newspaper logo, the following statement appeared: “This publication is an article advertisement for Easy Google Profit.” The reporter’s friend didn’t notice the warning signs and signed up with her debit card. She had unknowingly authorized this scam work-at-home company to charge $72 to her debit card every month until she called to cancel. For example, in April, 2009, the Texas Attorney General filed a complaint against Infusion Media, Inc., a company that allegedly ran at least three sham work-at-home websites, two of which capitalized on the Google brand: GoogleMoneyTree.com, Google TreasureChest.com and InternetIncomeIntiative.com.

POPSHave You Heard Of Rene Margritte? No? Too Bad!
I haven't (a cloistered life I've led). That is until this morning, when Google used one of his surrealist portraits as their logo to celebrate his birthday. This artist came upon Earth with little fanfare and left in the same manner. He did impact his being through his art and I am glad I stumbled or should I say Googled across the mark he left behind. Excerpted from his bio at: http://www.brain-juice.com/cgi-bin/show_bio.cgi?p_id=22 Magritte died - 8/15/67 - He lived humbly. He didn’t draw much attention to himself - Magritte managed to leave an artistic legacy of transforming the ordinary into the fantastic. Historians attribute Magritte's art to his desire to oppose and combat the triviality of everyday life, others say his work goes beyond escapism and serves to reveal a murkier and complex aspect of the human condition. - it is certain that Magritte's work is - hauntingly beautiful and deeply provocative.

POPSGoogle's Olympic Extravaganza Google’s main Olympics page has different designs depending on the country. The China homepage is more colorful than the US homepage. In the US, you can launch videos, gadgets, and see the current medals won overlaid on a Google Map (the latter is also featured on a standalone page). There are stories collected via Google News as well. The YouTube Olympics channel is only available in some countries, being geo-IP-banned elsewhere. “The IOC’s Channel will be accessible in territories where digital VOD rights have not been sold or have been acquired on a non-exclusive basis,” the press release explains. As previously mentioned, another onebox in results pop up when entering queries like taekwondo olympics, though it doesn’t work in every country (I added the “gl=us” parameter to the search URL here so you can see it). http://www.youtube.com/ytsummergames http://www.google.com/landing/summergames2008/index.html

POPSThis Day In History: An Open Letter To Google Dear Google comrades Sergei and Larry! The Party looks kindly at your attempts to correct and improve history by unobtrusively modifying the Google logo on notable calendar dates. For years you have zealously informed the masses about progressive and useful events like Earth Day or Earth Hour, while purposefully ignoring Memorial Day (no logo change on this reactionary American holiday). Most recently, you enlightened the unwashed about the Spanish artist Velázquez on June 6 without mentioning the Allied Invasion of Normandy on D-Day, a celebration of which would indeed be offensive to National Socialists. ~ The time is ripe for us to reinforce your amateurish efforts with our brand of historical revisionism that stands on a firm scientific foundation of the Party doctrine. The next big holiday is Independence Day. Review the following list of Party-recommended events and logos for mandatory inclusion.
