Yahoo, Google Debate Size of Internet |

 Yahoo and Google are in a debate over exactly how large the Web is. Yahoo came up with a number of pages that is more than double what Google has in it's index (19.2 billion.) Google, being the search engine gods that they are, says Yahoo is full of it. Their argument seems to be that Yahoo's  software is counting the millions of duplicate pages of content out there on the web.
"The comprehensiveness of any search engine should be measured by real Web pages that can be returned in response to real search queries and verified to be unique," said Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder. "We report the total index size of Google based on this approach."
Yahoo's response was "Oh, yeah? Well, I bet I have a larger penis than you do!" This was sent out via e-mail by CEO Terry S. Semel.
O.k. He didn't really say that. But, man, that would've been some funny stuff if he had.

Studio Jargon |

(1) An electronic device for making sounds, in which the shape and method of construction have little effect on the nature of the sound produced. This wide definition includes: Electronic organs, samplers, drum machines even radio sets etc. as well as those devices which are more immediately recognised as synthesisers. Some devices, such as the Thérémin do owe their sound, in part, to their construction, and may be considered somewhat "grey" in respect of this definition. (2) A specific case of (1) above, equipped with oscillators, filters, amplifiers as well as modulation sources. Either with a predetermined or more or less programmable audio and control signal path, which can be used as a musical instrument or for sound effects. The oscillators may include the ability to replay digital recordings of sounds, and the whole or part of the system may be implemented using digital or analogue technologies. |

behold, all is vanity
and vexation of spirit."
