    Shakira and Paris Hilton seem to be very important to a lot of people.[^] Unless of course almost every person on the web is searching for something unique and less than a dozen are searching for these two which makes them the winners by default.

      somehow i don't think they included the full search string. i imagine a lot of those searches also included the words "nude", "naked" or "xxx".

          Well that's a given. Heck, even for the regular stuff I use those keywords. You get the best of both worlds (nude c++, xxx programming, office sluts). :-D

            Some of those keywords (such as paris hilton) would implicitly include "nude" and/or "xxx". :rolleyes: I wish they published a list of top-10 technology related searches. I bet "vista sound driver problem" or "vista drag drop problem" or "vs 2005 sp1 takes forever" would have been high on the list :-)

                yeah, apparently most of the problems were to do with internationalization. Even assuming all the internationals used thier native versions and upgraded as rapidly as the us/uk/etc thier user bases are far smaller than the english version's. :)

                  'XP problem' vs 'Vista problem'[^] The language breakup is really interesting.

                    Any idea why your link would generate the following.

                    400 Bad Request
                    Google Error
                    Bad Request
                    Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request.

                    Is the link dependant upon some Google or browser setting?

                          This borders on the truly bizarre and I can only guess where the problem lies. But I get the same response if try and use Google trends for anything. I'm behind a corporate firewall and proxy, so who knows what they might be doing. And it's IE6 as well. I'll give it a go at home tonight, but it is really weird to say the least.

                            Why do people from Sweden and Poland have so much trouble with Windows? The problem about this google trends things is that it is so interesting and yet means so little as you would never know WHY you got any particular result. Pretty cool though.

                                        Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

                                          Shakira and Paris Hilton seem to be very important to a lot of people.[^] Unless of course almost every person on the web is searching for something unique and less than a dozen are searching for these two which makes them the winners by default.
