当Google不喜欢google时
Thursday, August 17th, 2006 |Google的奇迹之一就是把自己的brand动词名词形容词化。例如一个人要讲一样东西,他们就会讲,“go and google it”。
What has Google upset is people who use phrases like “I’m going to google it” or “I just googled his name on the Internet and found what I was looking for.” “We think it’s important to make the distinction between using the word ‘Google’ to describe using Google to search the Internet and using the word ‘google’ to generally describe searching the Internet. It has some serious trademark issues,” said a representative for Google.
就像你讲无聊小站很无聊,可是事实上你没什么去读,你没资格讲我无聊一样。
Google has announced to offer free Internet access to everyone in its Silicon Valley hometown. The new wireless network is believed to establish Mountain View, California as the largest U.S. city with free Internet access available throughout the entire community.

虽然很多年以前,马来西亚的MSC(Multimedia Super Corridor)立志要追上美国的Silicon Valley,不过到今时今地,由于行政人员的马虎,还有种种申请license的关卡,导致很多外国公司止步来马来西亚。而Tmnet这个monopolized大马网络市场的呢,他们提供的streamyx三天两头就down,你说奇怪不奇怪?
对了,其实把一个字verblize, adjectivelize和nounlize不只是google罢了,“学运”也是。
学运:“我是学运,我搞学运的,我在学运做工,我做的事很学运。”
