You get my vote, not because I think that is a good idea at all, but I agree that is about the most hilarious thing. Thats got to be Googles end game.

why not put a raid file system between the free offerings. you get a larger total size faster transfers (ha, like my 6Mbit DSL cares =( and.... redundancy, which solves the 'everyone scared of the cloud' problem.

Does anyone have a link to all the 48 state locations so we can see what percent of stores are closing by region? This may reveal some underlying economic health by region.

Some studies say distracted driving is age dependent and I think I heard somewhere else some are just better at multitasking safely, though I don't remember the signs or how to test for this -awesome- traight. http://www.mendeley.com/resea

yeah - sorry, wasn't trolling. Just trying to point out that the client is not hiding behind the server. anyone logging traffic will log the traffic directly from the client machine. I could have worded that differently. sorry.

Now that I think about it, all public email addresses are susceptible to the exact same problems of physical mailing addresses. Anyone can send anyone anything. Unfortunately it's as if online life has the same pitfalls of real life.

I think the concept has already been coined 'gamification' and I agree with the author that one of the best methods to apply a game concept to mundane tasks is keep score. For competitive people, that one small thing (score) gives you a rea

Genius. If they detect fraud, remove google adds and substite others so you can continue to make money from false clicks while protecting your google revenue. I don't think this will last very long, it will just encourage other add sellers
