According to the Independent:
Search engine giant Google, known for its mantra "don't be evil", has fired off a series of legal letters to media organisations, warning them against using its name as a verb.
I promise from now I will be saying I will search the net using Google TM.

I thought it was me or my TV or my deep dislike of TV commercials.
Now I know it is not just my impression.
ROME (Reuters) - Italy's government plans to clamp down on broadcasters turning up the volume when they show advertisements in order to get viewers' attention.
Communications Minister Paolo Gentiloni said research showed Italy's three main channels on average raised the volume on adverts by 50 percent compared with ordinary programming, even though this is banned under Italian law.
It is usually done by networks in agreements with advertisers in order to try keep viewers glued to the screen during the publicity breaks.
Honestly I did not know it was all part of a cunning plot, I must have been too naive.

Obviously I'm not talking about a degree in medicine or law or any scientific subjects but is there any point ending up with a degree in media studies and £15.000 debt?
In my working experience I cannot say that it was that important; the company I worked for came to realise that certain qualities they were looking for in an individual such as being entusiastic, a good team player, hard working and so on cannot be taught at university so they did not mind recruiting bright 18 years olds and trained them up. They still recruited new graduates who ended up being trained and managed by the ones that started working at 18.
Graduates leaving university this year had average debts of £13,252, a 5% increase on 2005, a survey has said.
The figures were drawn from a survey of graduates, current students and sixth formers by the NatWest bank.
Although the rise in graduate debt was slower than in previous years, 62% of graduates still left university owing more than £10,000 apiece.
