I'd say because Google is clearly not interested in customer service. If they were, you'd not see all the stories of people unable to contact them to resolve issues with so many of their services. So, why trust them with something as import

Sorry, but very few websites have the need to have full demographic detail (name, address, dob, etc.) on who I am. I assume many use it to establish demographic profiles for basing advertising rates, or more nefariously, sell off to direct

I used to cycle a lot when I lived in California. I knew several people that used a Bike Friday, and they were as durable and functional as a regular bike. I'd even see them on Century (100 mile) rides. http://www.bikefriday.com/

I've often thought that if you removed any site that uses Google Adsense you'd get much better results.

I actually find About.com useful at times. However, an About.com site that is no more than a spam site is Consumer Search. Sad that such a site is owned by the NY Times.

I see no excuse for dropping an affiliate link on a submission to HackerNews. It applies not just to the kindle, but anything one would buy after follwoing the link to Amazon, and even at a later time when purchase is not even related to th

Sensationalistic and bad title for this submission. It's not 'most printers', it's color laser printers. And that's not even going into it being a 4 year old article.

And just about every product company. Newegg is not far off. Left column to modify your selection, right column to list products.

I don't infer the same from the quote. It just as easily could have been her single source, Mitnick, that are the 'hacker circles'. The wording alone does not suggest multiple sources.

You're right in your definition. SEO (search engine friendly design, link building, etc.) is a subset of SEM. SEO is about improving your organic (non-paid) search results. SEM generally refers to a combination of SEO and PPC (pay-per-clic

With the direction of broadband ISPs being going to bandwidth caps, 'hosting' on personal PCs is not something I'd be looking at getting into at this point. It's kind of like why I would choose using Vimeo or Youtube to host a video instead

Hopefully it'll be their stopping going after Internet Explorer via the EU courts, and actually come up with a product people would want to use/buy.

Not sure if it will help, but one tool I use at concept stage is FreeMind. I like it for forming a structure to a site. http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

But in a work environment it's often not your choice to pick what you work on. I tended to find that those with the experience were set on legacy systems, and the new technology went to contractors, or were outsourced. And no matter what yo

I think you're missing the point of the article by focusing on her. They may have been able to find a more sympathetic subject to focus on, but the point remains that many freelance workers are now facing a decline in demand, and they are

Don't confuse a framework with a template. I would not consider YUI a template, and even basic CSS layouts (the common 2-column, 3-column, etc.) are not complete templates. Using a true template the design decisions (graphics, colors, etc)

The general basis of the article should be that Wordpress (or other blog platform) can be used as a CMS for a website, and that it is an alternative to a static site. However, implying that it can replace a designer/developer to represent t

I'd examine relocating the buttons, or adding more to the top. I tended to just use the Go button over and over, instead of moving the cursor down to the Next button.

I came across a place in Taos NM by accident several years ago called the Earthship. It does get you thinking about what could be possible if some of these ideas made it into mainstream housing. http://www.earthship.net/index.php

Cost-of-living varies greatly, and in some areas 80K/year may really not be different than 40k/year elsewhere. Unfortunately, what I have come to realize is that it is getting harder and harder to be under a certain threshold, and in a larg

When looking at the design I immediately thought of a Yurt. I guess primarily due to the roof structure. In this case, he just built it into the ground. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yurt There are actually several companies building moder

Though not a particular fan of URL shortening services, I do have to say I like that you have put an original and useful spin on the concept.

I'd disagree, as other professions - say for example, accounting, finance, customer service, HR, would not have a similar limitation so specifically limited. And it is a dire feel when you actually experience it. As a 45 year old developer

I'd actually suspect it was part of the business model. They're banking on companies paying for reputation management. After the recent Yelp discussion (and some other older examples of a similar issue), I was not surprised at all about Jas

I also run a Yahoo Store, and even in their Search Marketing group, customer service has always been excellent. Clearly there is a lesson Google needs to learn from Yahoo in at least one area.

Disagree. Once deleted you'd also think that they would not be impacted by a resume command. Delete = never run again. I myself wish Google offered a true delete to campaigns in AdWords. It makes for a confusing interface.
