Wow, you can't even see trends without logging in now? Not to mention there is still no API.

I'm not logged in and I see the thing. Must be some remaining cookie traces.. I guess with Google you're never really logged out unless you do it manually, since that'd just be throwing away data, right?

iPhone 5S. Really?

One needs an Google account to see that. Can't you just tell in the title what excellent thing is trending?

You don't need to be logged in to see it (I was able to see it in a Firefox private window).

Carefully censored to exclude anything related to sex and possibly the NSA scandal ...

Nope. On the 9th, Edward Snowden was the 5th most popular search. On the 7th, PRISM was the 7th most popular search and NSA was the 10th most popular search. Maybe an individual sex-related keyword doesn't hit the top 15 search queries and therefore doesn't reach the rankings. Also, IIRC, they show trends and ignore the otherwise most commonly searched keywords. If you saw "hot anal sex videos" as a trending keyword every day it wouldn't be all that interesting.

Bear in mind that most of the proletariat doesn't know or care about the NSA leaks. It's not the #1 search every single day just because people tend to want to just get on with their lives and ignore that icky bit of information they heard that they believe they can't change. It doesn't really affect them in a palpable way like health insurance or a new presidency. They have their bread and circus and their lives just roll on. If anything, their own personal dramas are going to take the spotlight.

This is a horrible UI. It's really quite impossible to actually process this information as such a rapidly changing grid of keywords. The list form of Google Trends is much better.

Well, you have to. The image translators work for the construct program. But there's way too much information to process Google searches. You get used to it... I, I don't even see the searches. All I see is...blond, brunette, red-head...

It doesn't seem to be streaming stuff, just loads a list of keywords at the beginning. The rest is fluff.
