I’ve been listening to the new Perfume Genius record all last week in Mexico, it is a beautiful and amazing record and a stunning 2nd album and achievement. But in trying to advertise the record and first video, this short clip has been banned by YouTube. For YouTube to deem this advertisement as “non family safe” is dumbheaded discrimination; I find their actions in doing so disgraceful and cowardly. YouTube, shame on you. You were born of the 21st Century, now act like it.

If Google misunderstands you, and delivers the wrong results, the fact that you’ll go back and rephrase your query, explaining what you mean, will help it get it right next time. Every search for information is itself a piece of information Google can learn from.

Today, Google marks the 113th birthday of American sculptor Alexander Calder with a doodle on its homepage, but it’s not just any doodle, according to CNet:
… [it] sways when a person tilts an accelerometer-equipped laptop. The Google doodle … tilts when a laptop tilts and slowly spins if a person clicks and drags on the sculpture. The swaying feature requires not just an accelerometer-equipped laptop but also a browser that can expose that information to a Web application. In my tests on a Mac this morning, that meant Chrome but not Safari or Firefox.
This just improved my day about 1000%.
Fucking awesome.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_loqiamvENy1qzaos7o1_500.png)

The brain has no interest in immaculate recall – it’s only interested in the past to the extent it helps us make sense of the future.

Twitter goes a step beyond even Google in its sense of anti-authoritarian mission. Where Google’s core value is freedom of information, Twitter’s is the slightly different one of freedom of expression. Evan Williams, one of the company’s two founders and until recently its CEO, started Blogger.com and went to work with his partner Biz Stone at Google when Google bought that company. Williams unambiguously endorsed Google’s decision to pull out of China, and has said his company is working to develop technology to let users evade government censorship in China and Iran. Last month, Stone stated, in a recent tweet, “Freedom of Expression is a basic human right,” which he and the company’s top lawyer elaborated on in a blog post titled “The Tweets Must Flow.
