Believe me, it's unlikely you'll get anything that dramatic.

This is the frustrating thing about most modern billionaires. They're so... boring and conventional. I'd much rather Zuckerberg took those millions he dumped into New Jersey public schools and built a spaceship that billions of kids around

Some might call that science. It's worth thinking a bit about what a satisfying answer might be like for you. Maybe there just isn't a way to understand or think about the question that's satisfying.

Do you have to include the way they were killed right under their name? e.g. "Bludgeoned to death" Seems like there are better ways to remember someone.

Does anyone have more details or examples of Google's "crige-worthy" HTML for efficiency?

So then are you willing to give it up in the wireless space? Because there appears to be plenty of competition there.

It's actually case-sensitive, so here's a more accurate comparison: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=Christianity,Isla...

It's fun to track how many clicks it gets, and I'd already had it on my clipboard for twitter :)

RDFa, for example, allows much more expressive power than META tags did and lets you get very specific. It also allows you to model relationships you never could have expressed with a META tag. Insofar as there is a lot of value in consumin

I suppose I should have said "supplemented the search results". I disagree that people don't care (many people already do care about educational metadata).

I'm curious if they'll ever supplement machine learning data with structured data, e.g. something like dct:educationLevel expressed in rdfa.

That would be really interesting though; if the probability of a bubble approaches 1 given enough time. Is that an accepted law of economics?

If we were, in fact, in a bubble of sufficient size, wouldn't these predictions be at least somewhat correct? That is to ask, when do you actually know if these statements are true or false? Couldn't you conceivably be in a bubble that deve

I agree: "The chief evidence, according to industry experts and analysts, is the way venture capitalists and established companies are clamoring to give money to young companies, including those with only a shred of an idea." This just seem

Definitely interesting, but I'd hesitate to describe it as a "deeper look", like how you might describe an investigative piece. I think the author correctly describes it as an "educated guess".

Bad news for the Internet, especially considering how central Level 3 is to the current landscape. It was inevitable that they'd shake down the CDNs.

"Whereas an incubator like Y Combinator looks for applicants who already have a strong startup idea in mind, YouWeb prefers those who don’t. “I’m not looking for the next Facebook, Microsoft or Google,” he says. Instead, Relan is decidedly

Let's be clear which industry though, because clearly Internet services are now an industry in themselves.

My thought exactly. But I suppose if you limit yourself to 37signals apps, then it was an open need.

Why can't you use the API to get all of your friends' email addresses? I thought you could use an access token to query a friend for 'email'.

I don't think the difference is very important. I've almost never manually added a contact into Google and my contacts list has been built up by years of correspondence. In a sense, the people I've been emailing determine which address show

It might not seem like it, but publishers are coming around (at least in some domains). RDFa is getting traction as a source for metadata in communities like education and open content (disclaimer: it's part of my job to convince people in
