I've been warming up for another glance at the best of the web. I've found some interesting links on Google, Apple Inc. and Twitter.

Google: also known as The Big G

.

So, who has been writing about Google? It was techcrunch.com with their post entitled Google Highlights Search Changes From March.

What did they point out about Google? Well...:

Google has rolled out a great number of small changes to the search engine and UI over the last month, and now they have rolled them all into a big blog post for your consecutive enjoyment

and went on to say

"+" is now treated as a normal character when that seems to be the intent, along with %, $, , ., @, and #. Its days as an operator are probably over, though, except when you're using it in an equation.Changing your password now logs you out from all your Google stuff, including Search.Better answers and live scores for Tennis, Russian Hockey, and UEFA Champions League games.Platform-specific results for app search - so if you search for Angry Birds, you'll get different results on Android, iOS, and so on. Results are also richer, with stars, download buttons, and so on.The "Freshness" update that brought recent and differently-organized results to News searches has been rolled out more generally, apparently as a result of having acquired the "machine resources" to do so.Image search has gotten a handful up updates, including relevancy, better ratings for the quality of the source page (fewer trash pages google-bombing with popular images, presumably), and Safesearch changes.The +1 button will show in search results in more countries and domains.The rest of the list can be found at Google's Inside Search blog.

Next up we have a site that's been writing about Apple - Report: After the New MacBook Pros, New Core i5, i7 Apple iMacs Incoming.

They wrote:

The new MacBook Pros, allegedly to appear in standard 13- and 15-inch flavors, will also allegedly take on the slimline mold of the MacBook Air

... right ...

They're also supposed to be significantly more powerful than the Air, though that part of the rumor's pretty forehead-smacking obvious-a little like saying you'll get more out of an Xbox Live "gold" membership than the default gratis one. Why else would you call something "Pro"?

Last but not least we have Fly Baseball Star Brian Wilson's Beard on This Awesome Airplane [VIDEO] from mashable.com, focussing on Twitter. The wrote some good stuff, particularly

And there's a social media tie-in too; travelers who spot the plane - dubbed Fly Bye Baby - then tweet a photo to @VirginAmerica with the hashtag #FlyTheBeard will qualify for a chance to win free airline tickets

A Virgin America aircraft that began regularly scheduled flights on Tuesday has a painted-on homage to the San Francisco Giants closer's bushy beard.
