Alicia Sacramone is hot

This comment comes thanks to the Internet: The top search on Google's hot trends list is the term "Alicia Sacramone is hot." The phrase shot up the charts following the U.S. Olympics team's dramatic collapse against China Tuesday night, thanks in no small part to two notable Sacramone screw-ups.

But I've got to say, Internet: I was thinking the exact same thing.

Google walks away from Digg deal

Digg has turned down a number of potential suitors. Microsoft and Al Gore's Current top the list, but Google has gotten back at Digg for standing up all its dates by leaving Digg at the alter. A rumored $200 million deal to buy Digg was reportedly called quits for unknown reasons by Google. Maybe Google saw this on the front page, and realized how stupid the site's readers are. Maybe Kevin Rose challenged Eric Schmidt to a chugging contest. Or maybe TechCrunch invented this whole imagined buyout, and has now tied it all into a neat little package it can quietly disappear after netting them hundreds of thousands of reads. Who knows?

Sidzilla leaks the internal memo
Adelson: "..and a pony. I want a pony for me and Kevin..."
Google: "No fuckin' way. We're done here!"
Setter says
Google decided to go straight to the source by buying 4chan and reddit.
aphonik suggests
I think Digg should mix things up a bit and offer to buy Google.

Google on "special people"

Computer algorithms are fun! Well, 99% of the time, they're really boring and miserable to work with and will do awful things to you behind your back. But in this rare instance, the Google algorithm has cracked a joke in poor taste about the mentally challenged -- or retards, as Google suggested. So what were the reactions like?

BoneStamp reminisces
I actually don't think there is anything wrong with this. I know it's not polite to call people this, but it is technically correct. In fact, I got in trouble for using the word "retarded" in a meeting once. I said "the data flow was being retarded by the router", which is a totally acceptable use of the word. Later, my co-worker was like, "that's offensive to people who are mentally challenged." I was like, "Retard means 'a slowing down or hindrance'... kind of like retarder brakes in a semi-truck. That's why they call mentally challenged people retarded, because their thinking is retarded (slowed down) by something in their brain." I called her retard for the rest of the day and she got really pissed!
