It's pretty iteresting in what direction google is pushing. Since all the requests are handled by google (you have to change the dns servers to point to google), this will give them complete website profiles, on what surfers visit and how t

Nice to hear that you liked it here. Many people call Luxembourg the small switzerland. They also have plans to reorganize the main central station and to build a park on it. So in 5-10 years, it will look much nicer. We don't require our

Paypal is a bank in Luxembourg and obeys luxembourgish banking rules, thus also fraud detection and money laundring detection, which is probably the cause when of why you see many people complaining of having to sent in an ID or more.

At the end, one single company will control the internet. I hope this is not something you want. Like twitter does control twitter and only opens up their data to gnip, etc... This won't be accepted. And even legally, this is not possible d

All I can say is, that google engineers must be really jealous for not coming up with the same idea of ranking sites based on what people enter into search boxes and what links they click on. Sounds like Pagerank 2.0 to me.
