No matter where you turn, you can&#8217;t escape the depressing mood that has all but permeated all of media.  Blogs, Destination sites, TV, Radio&#8211; even ads have started using &#8220;The Downturn&#8221; to start their segment or its headlines.  For people that are constantly soaking in business news, I can&#8217;t see how there is any bit [...]]]></description>

Considering the rate that Google have expanded over the past few years, this one wouldn&#8217;t sound too surprising to me.  The way they would go about those lay offs don&#8217;t sound [...]]]></description>
