Yahoo Image Search Sucks!

November 24, 2009

Let’s say that you want to write an article/blog post about the World Wide WebWWW. And you want to embed a (copylefted) image. What do you do? Obviously you’ll search for it using your favorites search engine. Let’s try it with Yahoo! Image Search:

Yahoo! Image Search For "www" shows porn images

Yahoo! Image Search Sucks

  • Try it yourself!

  • Yahoo loves me. NOT!

    November 11, 2009

    I think I am the worst web surfer. Ever. Yahoo! thinks I am naughty, because I make very, very bad requests!

    Yahoo music: bad request

    Yahoo music: bad request

    WTF?! That’s it?!
    What about the “Sorry, the page you requested was not found.” message?

    Sorry, the page you requested was not found.

    10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job

    October 19, 2009
    1. Getting a job and trading your time for money may seem like a good idea. There’s only one problem with it. It’s stupid!
    2. Limited experience
    3. Lifelong domestication
    4. Too many mouths to feed
    5. Way too risky
      Many employees believe getting a job is the safest and most secure way to support themselves. Morons. Does putting yourself in a position where someone else can turn off all your income just by saying two words (“You’re fired“) sound like a safe and secure situation to you?
    6. Having an evil bovine master
    7. Begging for money
    8. An inbred social life
    9. Loss of freedom
    10. Becoming a coward

    How does Alexa ranking work?

    June 30, 2009

    “Alexa could not exist without the participation of the Alexa Toolbar community. Each member of the community, in addition to getting a useful tool, is giving back. Simply by using the Firefox and IE toolbars each member contributes valuable information about the web, how it is used, what is important and what is not. This information is returned to the community as Related Links, Traffic Rankings and more.”

    how does alexa.com ranking work

    When I discussed it with a friend, he suggested that perhaps Alexa.com has a lot of DNS servers and every DNS request updates the information about websites ranking. Actually, they using on data from a limited number of epic morons who have Alexa Toolbar installed. That’s lame!
