I was saying it means antitrust litigation; you're saying it shouldn't. :-) Yes, change may bring new competitors that could upset google - disruption seems the destiny of most tech companies, it's just a matter of time. Interestingly, wha

I was thinking of antitrust suits for abuse of market-power. i.e. not about how you got it, but what you do with it. So the analogy is microsoft using their market-power to bundle their media player. BTW Bill Gates thought as you did, tha

Wow, I go to some trouble to research your question for you, but you reply in complaint without trying it out. e.g. try it with more than one language selected for search. You can also test your questions with specific queries (e.g. using t

The same thing they did for when iPod sales declined (as they have): more new products in the pipeline (which they have). My opinion is that Apple's strengths only really work in new things, and not for mature products. So, they have to kee

Yes, I agree that social search can improve accuracy, and that google knows more about its own social information so it can use it more accurately. Artificially inflating that, for the purpose of pushing their product, is the problem (that'

I've noticed both (typos and stems), and am impressed with how accurate it is. I miss literal search, and then they removed +keyword - but fortunately, quotes do it now. For example, rip and "rip" give slightly different results, with

Note I specified a grammar, though no semantics. This means sentences, that (usually) will be bizarre and surreal. Like nonsense phonemes, nonsense sentences will (usually) not have any apparent meaning; though both can be suggestive. A "r

Re pronounceable: I wonder if it makes any sense at all to use full words (from a dictionary), assembled into sentences (using a grammar). They'd be much longer, but (possibly) more readable and memorable. I'm sure this has been done - I

You could reference another paper that discusses it (assuming there is one), perhaps one that references the paper in question, ideally by the original authors. It's common for authors to write a series of papers on some topic. This doesn

Wouldn't a more effective boycott be of citation of articles in Elsevier journals? Rough on those articles, and will leave (some) gaps in your references, but that is Elsevier's actual source of power.

You may be right about queries. Though, queries are distinct from relations. They are a database concept, existing before Codd's relations and also present in NoSQL etc. I was thinking of the relational concepts that SQL builds on. A way t

Oh, thank you. This is my favourite form of ego-surfing. It's so nice to see my code, uploaded by someone else, modified and used in different ways. It's nice to think it could outlive me.

"Disrupt" is used here in its technical sense, as coined by Clayton Christensen in "The Innovator's Dilemma". That book is advice to incumbents, such as Kodak.

True, it can be hard to think about something, if it means we have to then do something irksome, or terrifying, or beneath us etc. But why not ask them? They mightn't know (or be right), but they have inside information.

Vim is for coding. How does this work out on the iPad? Does one edit remote files locally, and compile/run remotely? (the benefit is the editing feels instant - no keystroke latency.) Or has Apple let up on the "no coding for you!" iPad/i

Just had a thought on seeing your point 1): Part of the value some people buy is exclusivity. If others can get it for free, it reduces this aspect of its value.
