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。”

我国的邻国——Myanmar（缅甸），学中国的手法，block了Google和Gmail。
YANGON: The Myanmar government has blocked the Google search engine and its mail service Gmail, say Internet users.
—— The Times of India -Google, Gmail banned in Myanmar: Surfers
除了google以外，这则报道也说缅甸政府也block了Yahoo和Hotmail。想也知道，缅甸并不如中国有那么多earning potential，所以这些大公司也不会为了五斗米折腰。我觉得上网如果很多网站开不到的话，还真的是残废。
以前去过缅甸，想过到访昂山舒吉的住处，可是那一带是不准外人进入的。
忽然间从电视那里听到”Chinese People have some kind of talent reading the news （中国人民有某种本事从新闻里读出弦外之音）”，缅甸人民不知道有没有这种本事，马来西亚人民呢？

前几天看到一个很有趣的theory，为什么马来西亚的失业率持续攀升。
一个公司，最大的就是老板。老板自己已经不能promote到更高的地位了，那它也就不用promote其他人上来了，因为都没那种position给其他人。因为这种金字塔的关系，没有人事动迁，所以一个公司也就不用再招聘什么新人。因为这种原因，如果没有人被炒鱿鱼的情况下，就没有人被promote，那就没有什么位子空出来，就不会去招聘人来做工。如果是因为这种原因的话，那么如果要让一间公司扩充就业机会给其他人的话，那一间公司就要扩大发展。
其实很多公司不看学历的，什么本地外国公司它们都不管的。最主要这些人失业的原因是因为自己的attitude problem（看我的housemate就懂）。
其实哪里都有工作机会，是看你自己放得下尊严罢了。
越来越多人想自己创业，创业容易守业难。赚钱机会哪里都有，看你的luck还有眼光了。最重要的是快，狠，准！（功夫）
