  Four Horsemen

  General

  It just happened. Thinking about the euphoria I felt about the last couple of years every time I had a internet-based search task — I just loved using Google. After all the things that have been there since 1996, Google was by far the best search engine that I have ever had the privilege of using. However, quite recently some dumb fuck (probably with an MBA or some arts or social degree — I do however not really care one way or the other) decided that google needs to be personalized. Thus forcing me to choose a background picture. Since I always appreciated the simple style of the Google website, I chose a white background. However, the oh-so Web 2.0 effect of fading in this background paper makes all my current machines stall for around 5 to 6 seconds. Yes, I am sure as hell not going to buy a new machine just because Google thinks it is not necessary to make this feature Opt-Out or anything.

  So, now that you rest in peace, here it is to you Google. In memories of the nice years we spent together:

  Fuck You!

  I’m using Yahoo again.
