Not only ads -- we always joke that Firefox users are cheap bastards (although now Chrome is taking over that distinction) -- here are the conversion rates for a small online apparel retailer for the last month: IE 3.68% Safari 2.87% Firefo

This would be even better if it could break down javascript execution time on a line by line basis. I was able to spot an inefficient javascript file, but only found the culprit by commenting and uncommenting lines (inefficient jquery selec

There is a list at the top level of the Market application. However, it doesn't change very often and it's not clear how one ends up on it in the first place.

I'm having trouble envisioning a world where a majority of content creators are dumb enough license their content exclusively to a single search engine. If a clueless handful want to pay Microsoft to hasten their own death, then by all mean

Everyone who plays poker online shares these same concerns, so it's not surprising that the largest sites care deeply about their reputations (especially since they make so much money playing it straight up). That said, there has been at le

Google did make some improvements to the market in 1.6, so I'm hoping that effort is ongoing. Really frustrating how secretive they are about everything though.

It probably depends on who is accepting the fraud risk, and how much risk they are willing to accept.

>Settler's is great, but a lot of people will complain it leaves too much to chance. I've noticed this quite a bit in the board game community, which I think is unfortunate. Chess is a great game, but Poker is too. The element of chance

>The ipod wouldn't be particularly hard to reverse engineer. Should a third party be able to simply copy the ipod in order to cash in on Apple's brand equity? Yes -- see the history of the IBM PC for perhaps the most famous example.

It will be interesting to see what happens to Windows Mobile 7 pricing. If Microsoft isn't careful they'll price themselves right out of the market.

Our search results are chosen by an algorithm, and now I guess created by one as well.

I believe what he's trying to say is that Verizon used to disable WiFi to force people to get data plans, but now that data plans will be required, Verizon will include WiFi.
