The Wonders Of Modern Technology

Despite temperatures approaching 30°C, thanks to the wonders of modern technology (air conditioning) I'm still nice and cool at work. I can't help but smile when people are ringing me all day and complaining that it's too hot! Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather be outside (in a shady spot!) too, but if I must work, then I'm glad of the air con!

Google Video

I must admit to being a big fan of Google and have been using the Personalized Homepage for quite a while. The other day, I went onto it from a friends computer, so of course I wasn't signed in. Just as I was about to sign in, I noticed the Google Video. Whilst I don't have it on my personalized screen, I have no objection to them putting it on as sample content. What I did object to was the actual video that loaded - it was called something like "2 girls fight" (I forget the exact name now). Refreshing the page several times revealed a number of similar videos which I would view as 'inappropriate' and certainly not the kind of thing I would be using to advertise my services if I was Google! I don't know whether or not they have any kind of filtering system in place, but I certainly think they should be a bit more careful about the kinds of things they have on their front pages.
