Interesting Google Ads with Evil Purpose

I just looked up a word at MW.
A small Google Ads with key word 'undefined' came out.



A closer look:




Who is like to be labeled as 'undefined'?
I am curious and clicked the link, ha, a BROKEN link





Some one must hate Verizon Wireless so much and desperately want it disappear :-)

Est Indies. A complete round trip usually meant a cargo of manufactures
from France to Canada, a cargo of timber, fish, and grain from Canada to
the West Indies, and a third cargo--of sugar, molasses, and rum--from
the West Indies home to France. Quite half the vessels, however,
returned direct to France with a Canadian cargo. Louisbourg was a
universal port of call, the centre of a partly contraband coasting trade

Thought on (Personal) Resource Management

Resource management
A lot of (web) apps try to do personal resource management (with social sharing), I see their strength, but weakness is that they are still not easy enough to be usable by masses:
too many clicks (and distraction) to get some real thing organized, and more clicks to search and reuse.
I believe current technology is already mature for much better resource management in a more efficient fashion. And I am serious about it.
Ideal thing will be a light UI web serivce, easy to search, organize and reuse resources within 1 to 2 clicks, some support for graph visualization and multimedia, and be open.
