Google Terminates Six Services

Jonah Bomber writes with this excerpt from Information Week: "In addition to Google's announcements about the elimination of 100 recruiting positions and the shutdown of offices in Austin, Texas; Trondheim, Norway; and Lulea, Sweden, the company said it would close Dodgeball, Google Catalog Search, Google Mashup Editor, Google Notebook, and Jaiku. It also said it's discontinuing the ability to upload videos to Google Video. ... Jaiku, however, will live on as an open source project. Gundotra said that Google engineers have been porting the microblogging service to Google App Engine and that when the migration is completed, the company plans to make the code available under the Apache license."

    Listen and listen good you atrociously dull limey cunt. Here's another definition of monetize. Instead of reading, your life is wrapped up in video games and Nintendo bullshit, right? Do they have basements over there, yet? Last time I was there you had be downtown to find a doorway over 4 feet tall. So while you were in the root cellar, or whatever, playing your Nintendo games and shit, guess what Nintendo was monetizing? Your useless, pointlees and pathetic fat fuck lifestyle. Bite that, Bitches
