Roadrunner Can't Find Google

RoadRunner Can’t Find Google

Despite Google having servers across the world, RoadRunner (which likely has fiber across the country) couldn't get to any one of them.  Now I did notice that the search bar (see this image, which is the entire screen capture), is powered by Yahoo, so maybe they have some strategy increase their paltry share value by forcibly swinging people away from Google.

Computer Stress Diagram

ESRI had a really cool looking graphic on their website. Try as I did, I couldn't directly use it against them, but I could use it as a diagram that explains life as a/an (pick any or all):

  • Engineer

  • Planner

  • Architect

  • Lawyer

  • Doctor

  • Real Estate Agent

  • Computer Geek

  • Photographer

  • News Reporter

  • Sales Representative

  • Account Manager

  • Accountant

  • President, CEO, CIO, CFO, C-Whatever-O

  • Administrative Assistant

  • Call Center Rep

  • Insurance Agent

  • Human Lifeform that uses a computer

UPDATE:

Another software company and business partner to ESRI has claimed (informally) that they "borrowed" the "flower" idea from them.  I don't have the impression that the other company (that will go unnamed) is bothered by it, but I just thought that I would add that.
