Google Pen Loses Fight With Earthquake

Ask.com has recently been sharing the saga of their Google Pen, a cheap giveaway pen they received at an indeterminate industry conference, which “malfunctioned” on them, teaching a valuable lesson about the reliability of Google products. Last Monday, they seemed proud to announce that Google had sent them a brand new, cheap giveaway pen, this one with a kewl light, but alas, it was not meant to be.

Who saw that coming?!?
Still, it give them an opportunity to highlight Ask’s excellent earthquake activity service, best in the search biz.
