Every month Google processes 100 billion queries, and typically returns results with microsecond speed. However, on a fairly regular basis, Google's search engine has to think a bit harder to render a result. On a daily basis, 15 percent of queries submitted -- 500 million -- have never been seen before by Google's search engine, and that has continued for the nearly 15 years the company has existed, according to John Wiley, the lead designer for Google Search. http://www.goldsteinreport.com/article.php?article=20268 Tue, 14 May 2013 18:25:20 +1000 Internet Use/New Technologies http://www.goldsteinreport.com/article.php?article=20246 If you've been following the events in Syria over the past few days, you know the country's Internet is now back from the dead after a 19-hour outage that the government blamed on "terrorist" sabotage--an explanation bought by approximately zero people. http://www.goldsteinreport.com/article.php?article=20246 Fri, 10 May 2013 11:57:42 +1000 Internet Use/New Technologies http://www.goldsteinreport.com/article.php?article=20228 It was suspiciously warm, the reception given to a study published a week ago in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

People didn't whoop exactly. But you know they wanted to. http://www.goldsteinreport.com/article.php?article=20228 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:47:48 +1000 Internet Use/New Technologies http://www.goldsteinreport.com/article.php?article=20227 China was on vacation much of last week for the May 1 Worker's Day holiday, but executives at two of China's most important online companies were busy completing a deal that could reshape the country's Internet. http://www.goldsteinreport.com/article.php?article=20227 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:45:55 +1000 Internet Use/New Technologies http://www.goldsteinreport.com/article.php?article=20208 After Microsoft released Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 in late February, the market share of the previously Windows 8-specific browser almost doubled.
