   Yep, Ed Bott didn't bother to talk about profit. A glaring omission in my opinion.

   So your computer today is 100 times faster than the computer you had 5 years ago? That seems like a stretch. What two CPUs are you talking about exactly? Hmm, I guess if you had an Intel Pentium III Mobile 750MHz (circa June 2000) five year

   Really? With Congress at less than 10% approval, I would hope the people who are actually concerned enough to call would be less than fully trusting.

   I dunno... I think you have a point worth considering, but to call Minecraft a service seems misleading, or at least incomplete. Minecraft is an Internet-based leisure activity, and its well-admired benevolent dictator has declared a day of

   Apple has a near-monopoly like Microsoft? In what way? iPhone has only 15% of the worldwide smartphone market, and that share shrank slightly 3Q11 vs. 3Q10. Meanwhile Android went from 25.3% 3Q10 worldwide smartphone market to 52.5% 3Q11. I

    Ocean Stratagy ? How could either of these misspelled Twitter accounts be legit?

    I think that's all correct, except for the Twitter account, which I believe was created by another disgruntled customer (Nathan Stansell) a few months ago, following a similar exchange with Paul Christoforo. It looks like Stansell is now re

    I moved my few domains off Godaddy last month after the following occurred: 1) Godaddy left me a voicemail out of the blue saying they needed to talk about my account. 2) I called back and spent 5 minutes on hold, and another couple minutes

    It means instead of buying their own computer parts, they helped themselves to the supplies at HP and Atari, where Woz and Jobs worked during the day. HP and Atari probably didn't notice or didn't care. He's referring to when Apple was just

    By the way, your attempt at striking out "config file gconf" looks bad on Chrome running on Windows 7 -- every letter is followed by a box. Looks fine on OSX Chrome though.

    Here's an example I just ran into: I want to search for Ubuntu's go-compiler package. But if I search for "go-compiler" (with or without quotes) I get a bunch of hits for "Go compiler", with my dash turned into a space. That's a bunch of hi

    My point is when there's a critical Flash update, Chrome doesn't notify me ASAP. So my Chrome might be open for days with a vulnerable Flash without me knowing that it's time to restart. This is why I check About Chrome almost daily (kind o

    Aren't Adobe's patches pushed to everybody and installed immediately upon reception? Without waiting for the user to manually accept or restart, I mean. I don't know for sure. I think it's safe to say that Flash is buggy as hell, and we wou

    I think you missed the point. There's potentially a multi-day window of opportunity for Chrome to get hacked, because the malware authors can release new exploits before everybody gets around to restarting their Chrome to pick up the patche

    Isn't Safari's option the same as Chrome's main "Block third-party cookies from being set"? Chrome's about:flags option also blocks third-party cookies from being read .

    Whoops, I have to take back what I wrote above. Somehow my Chrome had lost its click-to-play setting. I don't remember unsetting that... hrm. Anyway, with click-to-play enabled you are correct: Panopticlick cannot see my fonts. Sorry about
