Google at it again!
This thread is dedicated to The-Specialist, whom I know to be the most avid Google fanboi who ever lived
In the past 48 hours, Google have:
1. Trespassed on my property.
2. Invaded my home.
3. Insulted my intelligence.
And before Dino gets a word in I will preempt him:
"Insult nihil's intelligence? I didn' know Google had anyone technically competent enough to find such a target, let alone insult it"
I go into my porch and find a booklet lying on the floor, obviously hand delivered as the postman had already been. Hence #1 & #2 above. In UK private houses the "postbox" is usually a sprung flap in the front door.
This booklet is titled "A simple guide to the Internet" There is a highlighted circle on the front that says "Tear it out and pass it along!" Well I did think of tearing it up and using it for another purpose, but the paper is a bit too stiff and coarse for that!
It also witters on about the booklet showcasing "some of the useful, interesting and enjoyable things that can be done online" Well, I looked very carefully, and I couldn't find a single link to a pr0n site!
I wonder what Google are up to, and why this booklet should suddenly turn up out of the blue?
All I can think of is that I had a friend call round Monday and he asked me if I had noticed that the Internet had gotten faster? I pulled up my hub management software and sure enough it was connecting at 16.5 Megabytes a second as opposed to the one megabyte previously!
This suggests that my ISP have updated their hardware and probably have spare capacity, so this is probably a joint effort to promote their service and publicise Google at the same time?
On the inside cover:
www.google.co.uk
"A computer is a doorway into a new world that you couldn't imagine was possible"
Hmmm, I've heard about sites like that
Anyways, I have been using the Internet since the days of 28.8K dial-up modems. I do hope the little boogers didn't take a picture of my house while they were at it................ I have yet to get round to repainting the front door.

Hi JPnyc,
Basically they crossed my building line without prior authorisation, which is trespass.
They opened the mail flap, which is home invasion, as it is in my front door.

Google went to a lot of trouble to physically trespass and leave you a bit of reading material, Nihil. That's a rather nice, even old-fashioned gesture, don't you think?
All I have to show for the trespasses against this place is more and more log files.
