Boot up: Google v DuckDuckGo, porn 'stats' v truth, Glass at Wimbledon and more

Plus HTC profiled, Kickstarter apologises, Facebook apologises over data leak, and more.
DuckDuckGo: searches there have increased by 50% in eight days. But is that significant?
This feels like it's both right (it's indubitably true that colossal numbers of people are still using Google) and wrong. What if that that tiny (compared to the total size of Google) group going to DuckDuckGo and the like - we don't have figures for other private search engines - is just a precursor to a larger shift? Google was a tiny private company once, and the publicly-listed AltaVista was dominant. That changed too.
One other point: if everyone who now uses Google had shifted to DuckDuckGo or other search engines within three days, they probably would have collapsed.
