One question guys...


Is your Google search now automatically localized?


I noticed since past few days that I can no longer go and use:

http://www.google.com

it automatically switches me to:

http://www.google.hr


Is it the same for you guys (i.e. are you also forced to your country's Google version instead of global English one)?

Yep. Been that way for the past three or four years.

Nope... it was working OK until just a few days ago...

In your local "Google" (for me it is "Google.hr" - for you it is "Google.nl") there was always small link on bottom right side to "Google.com - but now that is not working any longer...

Good morning. Got my coffee. My computer doesn't run properly without coffee.

Nope. Not working; it instantly sets itself to google.dk.

Watched it on German television, and the commentator kept referring to Gdansk as Danzig and Lviv as Lemberg. I was under the impression that those names went out of style in 1945, but not in Germany, it seems...[:-]

For once I actually saw a game. I agree with you on the penalty situation, but disagree that the Spain goal was offside. Close, but clearly onside (in both calls leading to the goal). The TV expert teams (including a referee) also agreed with those points (penalty & on-side).

.. and sorry Leo (and other Croatians).

It was off-side... if the Iniesta scored all would be OK but the scorer was Jesus Navas...

No comment on the penalty situation. The ref obviously didn't see that. The camera did.

It is on-side. The player recieving the ball in the upper picture is the upper spanish player who is on-side. In the lower picture you can see that Navas is in an on-side position when the ball is played. I couldn't have posted better pictures myself to prove that the calls were absolutely correct.

ETA: Where Navas is in the first situation is irrelevant. He could have had a picnic together with the goalie as long as he is back on-side when the second situation occurs, which he is.
