Google has dropped support for yet another of its services. If you're like me, you don't visit Google Bookmarks very often, so you're not aware that Google dropped support on September 30th, 2021. The service still had its uses — like being able to access a collection of bookmarks across different browsers, or when you're using a strange computer. You can still export your Google bookmarks to alternative services that are "arguably better."

Previous reports said the rock that suddenly appeared out of nowhere was merely 'the size of a jelly doughnut.' Now, a color image shows additional reasons for this metaphor: 'It's white around the outside, in the middle there's kind of a low spot that's dark red,' said lead scientist Steve Squyres. In the image, the object does stick out like a sore thumb amidst the surrounding orange rocks and soil. Its composition is 'like nothing we've ever seen before. It's very high in sulfur, it's very high in magnesium, it's got twice as much manganese as we've ever seen in anything on Mars.' If it's just a random rock that had been kicked into position by one of the rover's wheels, chances are it would not be 'like nothing we've ever seen before.'
