If we may take a two-minute break from mobile termination rates ....

Google has released a list of the fastest rising searches by New Zealanders over the past seven days.

There's one mild surprise: the hard news story of the Bin Laden shooting beats the softer focus royal wedding.

And one big surprise, or at least big in tabloid terms: Pippa beats Kate.

1. bin laden
2. bin laden dead
3. osama
4. osama bin laden
5. osama dead
6. pippa middleton
7. tornado auckland
8. tornado
9. kate middleton
10. royal wedding

Google said the Royal Channel on YouTube, which live-streamed the wedding, received just shy of 28 million views.

The search giant said that on May 1 between 7:30-8:30 pm PST, it saw a 1 million percent increase in searches for "bin laden".
