Wissner Gross smelled CO2 all over web not Googel only



There is always some controversy around Google and Wikiepdia. I have already mentioned that I have abstained from googling because a report has mentioned that it generates carbon dioxide. However in the link mentioned below the researcher in question that is Alex Wissiner Gross of Harvard who has been attributed with the discovery that the search generates CO2, there is a different version to the whole story which seems to be more balanced reporting.

Why is it so that G and W are always shown in bad colours?

Who The Hell Writes Wikipedia, Anyway?

Wikipedia is again in news. Just two or three days back there were such news which attempted to tarnish the image of Wikipedia. The only issue used to throw mud at Wikipedia was that Wales was asking for donation whereas he was not maintaining good relations with his girl friend (could that have helped in raising funds) and that he had defaulted in some repayment of some credit card. There were other accusations also. However, today there is a news that Wales has thanked 120000 people for giving donation of 6 million dollars. The news item linked here has called the people writing for Wikipedia as freaks. I am also one of the volunteer. It is really interesting to learn that I am being called a freak. Glee.
