If you're talking about your average glass here on Earth, it's always full. Either it's 100% full of liquid, or 50% full of liquid and 50% full of air, or 0% full of liquid and 100% full of air. Any way you slice it, it's always full.

Google made an aesthetic change to the sponsored ads back in July to better match the new look and feel they pushed back in may. Nothing to do with Google instant at all. What's funny is if people are only noticing this now, then the ads ar

My local library solved this problem by blasting three different operas at obnoxious levels just outside the doorways. It works, but it makes me cringe every time I walk into the library.

The article assumes that older releases are unavailable due to laziness. This is not always the case. Recordings can be deleted for any number of reasons including: infighting, copyright issues, legal issues, embarrassment, ego, lack of int

I've got an alias in my downloads folder that auto adds mp3s to iTunes and iTunes auto-syncs to my ipod when I plug it in. I don't even have to think about dragging and dropping anything.

I'm astounded more people don't use HeySpread or TubeMogul to upload their videos to EVERY video site. Or better yet, make five slightly different versions of the video and upload it via HeySpread. The more you can syndicate your content, t
