Around the world, the Zeitgeist list is a strange one, populated by deaths, entertainment, disaster and Apple:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Whitney Houston<br> <br> <br> <br> Gangnam Style<br> <br> <br> <br> Hurricane Sandy<br> <br> <br> <br> iPad 3<br> <br> <br> <br> Diablo 3<br> <br> <br> <br> Kate Middleton<br> <br> <br> <br> Olympics 2012<br> <br> <br> <br> Amanda Todd<br> <br> <br> <br> Michael Clarke Duncan<br> <br> <br> <br> BBB12 (Big Brother Brazil)<br> <br> We weren't as concerned with iPads or Whitney Houston here in Australia, or even tech — not a single gadget made our charts.

Well, the iPhone fell off the top-10 list completely, which is interesting. Instead, Samsung took pride of place as the favourite phone with the Galaxy S3 — beaten to the top by the iPad 3.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> iPad 3<br> <br> <br> <br> Samsung Galaxy S3<br> <br> <br> <br> iPad Mini<br> <br> <br> <br> Nexus 7<br> <br> <br> <br> Galaxy Note 2<br> <br> <br> <br> Play Station<br> <br> <br> <br> iPad 4<br> <br> <br> <br> Microsoft Surface<br> <br> <br> <br> Kindle Fire<br> <br> <br> <br> Nokia Lumia - http://lerablog.org/?s=Nokia%20Lumia 920<br> <br> If you have an Android phone and are peachy keen to check out all the lists, you can now download a free Google Zeitgeist app. Otherwise, head on over to the Zeitgeist home page for ฉลากกินแบ่งรัฐบาล วันที่ - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLopT0zftX1g-yFrvRmfgE0afDjmDdcOXf a more in-depth look at the "spirit of the times" — Google style.<br> <br> <br> <br> Share your voice<br> <br> Comments Tags<br> <br> Internet
