using the remote subscribe functionality.

Changed default avatar in neo-gnu for the more fun @mosphirit gnu.

For now I am going to propose only that change, the default avatar. In the future maybe we can use only one SVG instead multiple PNG but I want to do for now the less changes possible.

Remove Google References

This removes most references to:

 - Google Code
 - Google Buzz
 - Google Maps
 - Google Gears
 - General Google services promotion

There are still some remaining Google references, particularly a script within plugins/Minify. You might want to check that to see if it's really necessary and whether the javascript it points to is actually free software.

See merge request !117

This removes most references to Google, with some
remaining since they may point to things which are still
relevant. References to Google Code, Google Buzz and
Google Maps have been removed
