> They use the word because it was a play on the name and idea of a "yearbook." What are you basing this on? I'm pretty certain they called it "the facebook" because it was literally meant to be an online replacement for the print faceb

Less than full net-neutrality is good for big players who can take advantage of the situation and negotiate deals that are favorable for themselves. It is bad for small players and startups who would like to compete with the established pla

Google is treating this as something that should exist now rather than "someday". You can go to the store today and buy a new Android phone and when you put in your Google Voice credentials, it will have all of your text messages with their
