Is Google afraid to be associated with an artist who does nudes? Or is this just an amazing oversight on their part? For being the big gun on the internet search ranch, Google apparently failed to Google me-- pablo solomon--and thus failed to get an illustration from possibly the world's top living artist. Should they get a second chance? Will this gross mistake result in their eventually filing Chapter 11? Will Chrome lose its polish without pablo's art? Join in the millions out their voicing their support for me--pablo solomon--to be included in Goggle Chrome.pablo solomonhttp://www.pablosolomon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-61200894518803301062009-06-20T14:36:47.650-07:002009-06-20T14:36:47.650-07:00@Philipp Lenssen: I'm not sure why this is a b...@Philipp Lenssen: I'm not sure why this is a big deal.
