I point you to the comment yesterday regarding the "news" about Google Scholar.
Seriously, between all the non-news and dupes lately, Slashdot is going downhill in a hurry.

They also had Google Scholar out for a year, but that didn't stop slashdot from posting about it as if it were new.
So, how much Google money are you getting, guys?
Shame it lacks the FTSE

You'd have thought that google.co.uk would choose leading UK stocks in preference to US market lists.
And when you click the link....

... before google really starts going after profits more agressively by starting to monkey with services like their search engine. They're doing great right now because there is a transition from traditional advertising to Internet advertising with Google owning that space, but at some point the growth WILL slow down and there will be a bigger emphasis on profits since the top line growth is slowing down. That will make things like paid placement and other currently "taboo" things very attractive to them.
Hopefully they can keep the innovation engine going to keep their growth rate up.
I still find interesting that google seems to get the data from yahoo services, or at least they point to them when you need detailed data.
Yahoo is better when you need info about financial news. I guess that's one of the reasons yahoo doesn't gets so many visitors - the bests things they do are things that nobody needs (how many people needs to get info about stocks, really?)

I trade in stocks frequently, holding a particular security for anywhere between 4 hours to a week. So yes, I do check Yahoo finance frequently, at least on a daily basis, sometime even more often. Yahoo gives me all the information I need in a well-formatted page without requiring Javascript, heavy graphics, or any other annoying unnecessary eye-candy that's not needed for a fucking informational page.
On another topic, what's with these retards around here who keep insisting that nobody uses Yahoo. Every time some idiot says that, they get 5 replies telling them how wrong that is, yet they don't learn. Take your head out of the sand already, you're not everybody, and if you only use Google and nothing else, you're definitely not smart either.
