    Trust Google, they know better what you want than you do.

    Localization is something I have never really liked, these days there are website, software etc. that force you to use language they select, no thought is put to persons that happen to be visiting in other countries.

    Google search results from Google.com and Google.fr are not the same either, same thing someone else wants you to see what he wants, not what you want. Try with proxy and setup language of OS and browser to something different and you get to see a lot different stuff.

    I think Google is power tripping quite badly these days.

    I'm not sure if Google is translating video titles though, I have seen some people to put different language titles than what their videos language is, but with Google it would not surprise me.

    I think there was a parody about this Google's annoyance, Google toilet or something like that, it made me crack up as it was so true.

    Google is not alone in this, there are many other companies doing it, wrapped into this "experience", I don't want to experience, I want neutral and unfiltered global results in English, I want to choose, to use all possible options, not stupidified version for average girl, so yeah, I have a problem with Google and other alike it.

    Is it chrome autotranslating the page?

    EDIT:
    Scratch that, all the blurred stuff is still in English. Must be something to do with PewDiePie doing proper captions.

    Rest in Peace those killed in today's London terror attack and best wishes to all injured.

    4 dead including the attacker, two bystanders and a police officer who was stabbed and killed. Lots injured from being hit by the car.

    To those unaware the Palace of Westminster is where British parliament and democracy takes place.

    Well, there seems to have been an unusual update to GTA San Andreas. Not really sure what it's for.

    So I was walking home from the library today. This was right next to the sidewalk. It didn't have a back cover or a battery attached, and I couldn't find anything nearby. It looks to be in ok shape , I'm honestly surprised of the condition of the screen. It seems like maybe someone just took out the battery and back cover and threw it away. When I shake it there sounds like there's a lot of dust in it, so I might pull it apart and clean it. No idea if it works, and I don't have any batteries that fit. I have scratched out the serial number and MEID so that people don't steal it, in case this thing does actually function.

    Have a look on ebay for some cheapo batteries, much better option in case it doesn't work at all than buying legit ones.

    I guess you could ask police to run those numbers trough their systems to see if someone has stolen it, to avoid trouble.

    I think it should be fine, according to swappa esn checker it said it was not blacklisted, and it was ready to be activated.

    And back from Iceland! Lovely country, I was very surprised at the amount of American vehicles there, in a European setting.

    I'm having a terrible day. I'd been playing GTA IV TBOGT and had obtained all of rare NOOSE vehicles, so today I started to play the normal IV. I go to save, and accidentally overwrite my TBOGT save. What dumba** thought it would be a good idea to put the IV and EFLC saves together?

    Moral of the story: Rockstar can't do anything right... and I want my Noose Cruiser back :(

    There is nothing fishy going on, it is very probable to happen that someone posts with perfectly identical words, surely :p
