While it’s bad enough that people talk on the phone while sitting on the throne, news from Google gives us a serious case of the “Eeeewwwwws…”. Researchers at the search giant have found that 20 percent of online searches conducted from a mobile device are for porn (compared to 8.5 percent of searches from a desktop.) The researches say the numbers could be higher because of the newness of mobile search and because users feel they have more privacy with a mobile device (the Ewwww thing). So next time you see someone going into the stall next to you with a mobile phone and DON’T hear talking…. Ewwwwww.
