The slowing U.S. economy did not seem to slow down Google, which reported a surprisingly strong surge in first-quarter profit Thursday.

Google’s net income jumped 31 percent to $1.31 billion and revenue swelled 42 percent to $5.19 billion compared with the same period last year.

The report trumped many Wall Street analysts, who had reduced their forecasts for Google’s growth based on third-party research that suggested fewer people were clicking on Google ads.

“Google has completely silenced the cynics,” said Jeffrey Lindsay, a senior analyst with Bernstein Research.

Safely Remove 3.3.1.617

A good hardware tool, when it comes to safely usb removal.

This program gets a + from me, because, I like simple software, and I tell you, this is a simple one. Easy to use.

But I give a - because, for me it’s a little bit expensive: 20$

Features:
· Stop the USB device just pressing specified key combination (Global Hotkeys), working in any application;
· Customize the Quick-Stop-Menu (It shows when you clicked left mouse button to the "USB Safely Remove" icon in the system tray):
· Remove any USB devices from this menu, including those you shouldn't stop, such as USB ADSL modems, external hard-drives and etc;
· Change faceless standard device's description to be clearer for you;
· Choose device's image;
· USB Safely Remove can hide its icon in the system tray, when there are no devices available to stop. This feature is very useful when you use USB flash drives rarely, but you have different USB devices, such as ADSL modems, USB scanners or SATA hard-drives, that never need in hot-unplugging. But Windows creates Safely Remove Hardware icon in the System Tray that permanently draws your attention;
· Using USB Safely Remove, you can set these devices to undisplayable state and forget about this icon forever.
