Not sure when Moom, BetterTouchTool and others got β€œSherlocked”, but I have been enjoying this built-in feature of OS X (βŒ₯-hover over the + of a focused window)

The Russian Internet reacts to a possible speech by #Putin with an explosive increase in Google queries "how to leave Russia" and "deferment from the army", according to google trends. Google telling us what some Russians are thinking. Run!
