But while the commercial probably won’t have introduced Google to anyone for the first time, there are still some valid reasons to have made the move: It got people talking. Most of […]
As Tiger Woods recovers from a car accident and contends with reports of philandering, Slate V imagines what the golfing great might be typing into that familiar white search bar (with apologies to Google’s new ad campaign). [Via TechEblog]
