Google Lovin' and Hatin'

Search Engine Watch Blog has two great posts about Google.

25 Things I Love About Google

25 Things I Hate About Google

I agree with all the 25 loves of Google, yet disagree with some of the hates.

I find little basis for gripes about Google Search. I have never had any trouble with their search and petty "hates" like the number of results don't bother me because I never need to move outside the top 5-10 results.

Also, I want to see more integration of services. Video & Picasa + GTalk, Pages + Blogger + Base + GMail, Reader + GMail, etc. I think we will see this with time, but it should be here already.

Working on Macs

Working on Macintosh computers is a joy. Every program functions perfectly on them and they can open all types of attachments. In fact, all original Mac applications are far superior to Windows', and I enjoy the fact that I have to go through an exciting maze of files before I can install, run, or modify a program.

Also, the genius who created the one-button mouse is someone I'd like to meet. Now saving pictures, editing text, and navigating the internet all require multiple enjoyable steps. Lastly, Macs have a habit of freezing, which makes running more than three programs a really hearty challange.

Which I guess is applicable to Mac users anyway -- a good mentally challanged experience.
