The video is from the show “Hungry Beast” that airs in Australia on the ABC, 9PM Wednesdays.

Video: Does Google Own Us?
Google and Chuck Norris have a long history. If you go to Google.com and search for [find chuck norris] and hit, “I’m feeling lucky” button you will be taken to this result that reads: Google won’t search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don’t find Chuck Norris, he finds you. So it is surprising to see that on the 70th birthday of Chuck Norris, Google doesn’t have a special Google Doodle up. Chuck Norris was born on March 10, 1940 and 70 years later, I would have thought he would deserve a special Google logo. I am not the only one who feels he deserves a logo. There is a large Google Web Search Help thread with complaints from Chuck Norris fans. In all honesty, I find this all very humorous.

An updated Google Webmaster Help thread has confirmed reports from Google’s “sreeram” that Google is updating the Site Performance reports in Google Webmaster Tools. During this update, Google has temporarily stopped updating the existing reports. The Googler said: We are making some changes to the algorithms and pipeline behind the site performance feature and so had stopped updating it for a bit. We’ll resume the updates soon, hopefully within a day or two. Do stay tuned and keep giving us feedback. One new feature I am expecting is a trustworthy indicator to be added to the tool. I also suspect the tool to update more frequently and possibly offer better explanations of what can be improved. Forum discussion at Google Webmaster Help

Google Shuts Down "Site Performance" Tool While Upgrading It
I am finally back from my trip to Israel and one thing that kind of bothered me while I was there was that whenever I went to Google.com, it redirected me to Google.co.il. I know, that is how it should work, but imagine being in a country, like the U.S. and being directed to a localized or regional version of Google.

A Google Web Search Help thread has a Googler named Rubie saying there is a specific form to fill out at Google to report the issue. Rubie said: We have a nifty tool you can use if you think your IP address is not being detected correctly.
