This is nothing new and Google is well aware of this tactic. Years ago I use to buy pre-populated databases (such as all the veterinarians in the US) and create SEO-perfect websites with one piece of information on each page. It was highly

My employer gives the usual 2 weeks vacation for the first year of employment. Then, every year after that, you get an extra week up to 4 weeks paid vacation per year. Also, my employer is very vacation friendly in terms of requesting time

The Limewire case was terrible for everyone. RIAA now even more thinks the best way to make money is to just sue companies rather than innovating and making a better product than piracy. Everyone loses.

I'm a little confused - why would losing your laptop for example cause you to lose your bitcoins? Wouldn't the current value of each user be stored in this chain they mention? Shouldn't there be a way to back up your bitcoins? Seems like it
