Originally this post was going to be a cheeky comparison between the current trending opinions about the iPhone, Android, Blackberry and upcoming Windows 7 phone platforms through the thoroughly unscientific method of recording which suggestions Google provided for the sentence "[whatever] is ".
I was first struck by the bias toward negativity. This is crap, that is bullshit. Google presumably generates these suggestions by recording previous searches as well as collecting common phrases from its massive index of the web. It seems, unscientifically at least, that public communication on the Internet is a predominantly (though not entirely) downbeat place.
I went a little nuts with this, veering from phones to technology in general, politics, philosophy and family, and rather than categorize the results as such, I'm actually inclinded to just deliver them more or less alphabetically. Seems more Zen.
