I can’t believe FReepers never noticed this before. When Mickey was on stage at that event, that was the FIRST thing I noticed. Some posh designer put her up there as a black widow. Until now I just assumed that everyone saw what I saw. I’ve got to become more vocal about this kind of thing from now on. Perhaps my own radio show is in order. Nevertheless, its good to see this juxtaposition posted here.

Microsoft never even dreamed of being the evil which Google has become...

Can someone tell me what are some good, conservative-leaning companies who make computer technology? I’m using an Apple now- purchased it back in August BEFORE I found out they were against Proposition 8. I don’t like Microsoft either because of the Gates Foundation (more empty-headed “humanitarianism.”)

What are some good tech companies that keep politics out of business?

Gigablast's directory page looks exactly like Google's directory page (except the titles go across instead of up and down). . . . .

A total line of BS, urban myth. Google may have political leanings, but don’t count on them killing their market value by compromising their core product - reliable, relevant and complete search results.

As for your $4-$5 per click number, that’s also total hogwash. I buy 10’s of thousands of clicks each year and get a great many for 10 cents per.

Just under two months in here and you’re spreading unsourced nonsensical vanities. Please spend at least 5 minutes researching if you’re going to spread conspiracy theories.

It’s not nonsense.

*sponsored* ads are 4-5$ per click.

Google has censored info for the Obama administration.

Google’s CEO has met several times with Obama.

George Soros son is on Google’s staff.

Google was over-hyped to begin with — Gigablast and several others are just as good.

Most people don’t even access the results past the first couple pages, so the other 400 pages are useless.

I sure struck a nerve with you, but all that I say is 100% true.

They’re all similar. Open directory etc., they all use a similar directory format.

In fact, Google started with Yahoo’s search engine.

If you do a search on both Yahoo and Google, the results are nearly identical, search for search. It doesn’t matter much what you search on either.

Interesting.. A google search lists 10 pages of entries.

Some are...

Google has censored info for the Obama administration.

Source that shows that Google itself has done this, please.

Google’s CEO has met several times with Obama.

So?

George Soros son is on Google’s staff.

No one by the last name of Soros is a VP or higher at Google.

Google was over-hyped to begin with — Gigablast and several others are just as good.

Subjective... and wrong.

Most people don’t even access the results past the first couple pages, so the other 400 pages are useless.

Depends on what you're looking for. I've had to go deep several times, and I'm thankful for it.

I sure struck a nerve with you, but all that I say is 100% true. Possibly 50% true, but most likely 25%.

Calling BS.

Nope, this is true.

If you have a sponsored ad that comes up the first page of Google, it is 4-5$ per click for most topics.

I know this for a fact, as I used to have them on Google.

Of course, the price goes down as your ad appears lower in the list, or on subsequent pages.

No excuses, start using a different engine.

Interesting. Sounds high, but I guess someone out there will pay for positioning.

To: Larry Lucido

Yeahp, because positioning is really all that matters.

I tried both, on the first page and on the second. The second page got 0 clicks and the first page always got alot.

All the engines are like this.

It doesn’t matter though, i’m using something different as several others now are too.

If you’re involved with that project, submit it to Firefox for inclusion in its search bar. It doesn’t show right now.

Thanks .. but i’m not part of that project. I’m sure they’ll have one eventually.

I just have it open in a separate tab.

A few days ago I put my new laptop on ZoneAlarm and suddenly could not get connected to Free Republic...I tried and tried and then discovered that by changing to ZoneAlarm I had also switched my default search engine to Google. When I switched to MSN Live Search, I could get FR again, as you can see.......
