Ah the memories
What we Google is a pretty good mark these days of who we are -- what intrigues us, moves us, what we care about. In its end-of-year review, Google builds a story of 2012 out of the clues of a trillion searches, and tells that story in the sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes heartwarming video above. For good measure, here are the top 10 searches worldwide "with the highest amount of traffic over a sustained period in 2012 as compared to 2011":
