Google, the Tool – Another Essay

March 13, 2014 By Daniel Mihai Popescu Leave a Comment

I have been enraged when I figured out that Facebook’s creators signed the pact with the devil and facilitate it to become one of the most important tools to manipulating its users’ minds, under the mask of “connecting people” (excuse me the use of Nokia’s motto). I have calmed instantly. Money doesn’t smell, isn’t it? You want billions, you make them, if you donate and help the system handlers, because they control all the billions on the market. With its humanitarian cover, of helping “bad guys” capture, or directing revolutions, Facebook manipulates you (or at least has the potential to manipulate you) in whatever its handlers need to be done at a certain point. They claim that a “New World” will be better and everything they do, it is for humanity’s benefit. The secrecy of these actions is actually the reason pissing off the “conspirationists”. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have any more of them, at least publicly expressing, I mean. The real researchers disappear before the public finds out about their existence.

Unfortunately, Google is another tool. Here, I feel obliged to quote Guy Kawasaki (resuming the main reasons Google will dominate the internet, in his “What the Plus?” book): “Google has infinite money and talent, Google owns the river, Google owns the playing field”. This is dangerous. I can hardly believe that (as in Asimov’s “Foundation” series), this is sort of a Hari Seldon’s hypothetical plan applied just to saving humanity from its own destruction (of course, to Earth’s scale). He saved the Galaxy, and our handlers are saving us.

Google has been an occult tool, all along. The mask was “helping” people to find everything on the internet. “PR”, PageRank, a classification number given to your site, to every site, bearing Larry Page’s name (because he developed it and it’s based on his original algorithm), helps the easier ranking of sites when searching. A greater PR, represents a higher place in ranking, an easier possibility to be found. Unfortunately, Google never helped you to have a good rank, whatever you have done for that. Google puts “popular” websites up front, it helps them to come up in searches, because those sites serve a “higher goal”, that’s the only reason they became “popular” in the first place.

I have planned quite a different article to follow my almost uninterrupted “awards” series, but I needed to do more research, actually I still have to dig and to find some essential “references” by key speakers at an important global event happened at the end of February.

This article here, involves productivity, Google in general, Google Chrome, “SEO” and others. By the way, Google has been part of the mentioned event mentioned above, and will be published in my category named “The Shadows”, which is very foggy.

I consider myself a web developer and a consistent blogger, at least as my time allows, because I have multiple activities. Unfortunately, I experience some technical problems at the moment, but they are strictly personal and will be solved in the near future. On top of all, is that every time I’m accessing a Google site (gmail, search, youtube, or the mighty G+), after less that three minutes, my computer freezes. Chrome, the browser developed by Google’s technicians, is the worse. At my beginning on G+, I have installed it as an alternative to Firefox, which came perfect at the time, I have been inviting my Twitter friends to join me on G+, I had a gazillion of tabs opened and everything was as advertised, or almost everything, meaning that Chrome was “faster and sleeker”. Now? I wait from five minutes up for Chrome to upload at opening, with a minimum of addons, with just my G+ profile as the last tab. After that, you think it works any smoother? Not at all. Loads of scripts are taking hold of your system, all at the same or almost at the same time, and if your system is not “the last generation”, you may have the surprise to wait, and wait forever. Checking Chrome’s folder you discover that your “chrome data” is almost one GB. One Gigabyte of what? It hasn’t yet opened properly. You empty the cache and the memory is the same. Strange, isn’t it?

Not so strange, if you know that Google wants to direct you to a “Chromebook”. A Chromebook is a personal computer running Chrome OS as its operating system. Wow! (cf. Wikipedia)

Last Google’s “improvements” are that one can’t check the members of a circle as before, with the “search in circle” function, because they removed it, and they have removed the Alexa ranking bar under every site’s link appearing in searches (that appeared if one uses any Alexa related plugin with its browser). The first one is killing my system, I have to scroll all members to find out what I’m interested in (not telling that the “relevance” order went upside down exactly when I thought that I have figured it out), time in which my computer freezes, of course. I’m not describing what’s happening when opening another G+ tab in the same time, I need a browser re-start, for sure. The second one is worse, because I have to lose a lot of time more now, by checking what interests me one by one.

I like to do a proper research before affirming everything. Even if I don’t put the links every time (to cover my affirmations), that doesn’t mean that I speak in vane. Of course, there are sometimes my original thoughts, but I deeply want for everything I say, to stimulate your imagination and need to know more, so you will research on your own, you will think with your own head, not other one’s wanting to implement a certain idea, just for the sake of ultimate control.
