  1. Google posted an Easter Doodle only once, in 2000. Not before or since has their Doodle recognized any religious holiday.

    Every google android release has an ‘Easter Egg’

  2. still can’t understand why anyone would consciously ‘Google’

    they spy on you, denigrate you, sell your private information for profit, are against what you believe & hold dear
    … why would you support them?

    broke the habit years ago

  3. Just a friendly warning to the good folks here, but Bing is just as bad, if not worse than Google. I hold two degrees in computer systems and networking technologies, so I do know what I’m talking about.

    You might try DuckDuckGo (U.S. based and possibly more vulnerable), but the most user-friendly, Startpage (Ixquick) based out of the Netherlands with no attachments to Google or Yahoo (if you specify non-U.S. servers), or SearX (probably the safest) but not as easy to use for those who are not a little tech savvy.

    Then of course there is the “deep web” where the URL’s are not indexed by standard search engines. It comprises about 96% of all the content on the Internet, and can be a truly scary place. Only those users who are very prepared and brave ever dare venture there, and most still get hacked eventually, definitely NOT RECOMMENDED!

  4. Chance, how do you specify a non U.S. server if your are in the U.S.? Also, based on your recommendation to avoid the “deep web” I’m kind of curious, probably check it out.

  5. ETP…although the things you mentioned are undoubtedly a part of the deep web, there are far more legitimate sites if you know where to look, and some truly amazing resources big brother probably doesn’t want us to see. And by using robust encryption techniques, messages can be transmitted that even the very best government spies cannot crack. For example, 256-bit encryption is considered to be “weapons grade” by our government precisely because it is virtually impossible to decrypt without the key.

    Remember when the FBI tried to force Apple to help unlock Syed Farook’s (San Bernardino terrorist) iPhone? With 256-bit encryption, there would be a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion possible values of 1’s and 0’s for the phone’s encryption key. On the other hand, the four to six digit passcode would be relatively easy to hack, with between ten thousand to one million possibilities.

    What the FBI actually wanted was for Apple to interrupt the auto delay, and self destruct security features so they could perform a “brute force” hack and simply enter every possible passcode combination using an automated system via either the Wi-Fi feature or the phones lightning port. Ultimately, they were successful after receiving help from a “third party,” whoever that was. Probably someone familiar with disabling the aforementioned security measures.
