Blake Ross of Firefox has lost trust in the ‘don’t be evil’ search and advertising giant Google.

The example he uses is searching for the phrase ‘photo sharing’ in Google returns a tip on the top of the page promoting their photo sharing tool Picasa.

Wired mag has an article about him in the January edition. I know what you are thinking, this guy makes us look like piles of shit as we sit in front of the TV all day. Sigh… Time for a beer and another slice of pizza….

Here is a clip of the Journey Film documentary of his 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days feat:

If you did, is this your mom? A woman in her mid 30’s apparently offered $250 and, if you are a man, a BJ to buy a Wii for her child.
