lol, poor Matt, always under fire from everybody who hasn't got the rankings they want. This isn't about desired ranking. If your highly useful, popular site gets blacklisted from appearing on Google at all , there better be a damned go

No, you get a free credit report from all 3 bureaus once a year. Getting your score costs.

Same here. Husband and I have worked from home together since 2006, and hope to never have to work apart again.

The president of the International Council of Air Shows made a PR-effective statement. However, looking into the history of airshows makes them look rather dangerous. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airshow_accidents )

Yes, 2001 Google did. I don't know their reasons for removing the ability to search strings that include punctuation, but it could have to do with bots using search engines to scan for security exploits, as with the Bing overreaction to p

The question I have after reading this post is: What about his NDA? At a higher level, do they not demand signing of those? I certainly had one.

Exactly. The inability to get Google to recognize punctuation in any form is a killer, and not just for technical queries. There are many proper names that include punctuation but otherwise mundane words, and it's impossible to find what

I don't understand why you're getting downvoted. I agree completely, and have had the same thoughts many times myself. Especially about longing for a Pro type of service where we could get back to actual, effective search.

I run into this all the time, and I figure it's an extremely common thing. For instance, I'm frequently looking to buy nightstands. I need tall ones, for tall beds. Searching tall nightstands doesn't even guarantee me results that are ta

I see. That still doesn't make sense while on break from a shift of cleaning toilets - that type of work makes it fairly difficult to break away from for any reason, and you're not going to be in the shape to meet up with a prospective des

You had dental insurance and "a lot of appointments with the dentist" while looking for a job? This was paid for by scrubbing toilets at McDonalds, or while on unemployment/just unemployed? Forgive me for being skeptical, but this doesn't

Forgive me if I've misread, but I think what you're putting forth as acknowledged fact here is in fact controversial. You seem to be referencing the 1978 study "Lottery Winners and Accident Victims: Is Happiness Relative?" as well as, perh

I'd be interested in your ideas for designing a better study. What this shows is that it improves concentration, which is vital no matter what your job is.

Do you think the studies showing vacation time boosts productivity are crap as well? I mean, being on vacation means you're not even at work.

There are a lot of points in this - both in the sales pitch that Amazon gave the developers and the outcome of having participated - that are strikingly reminiscent of the Groupon experience for some businesses. (Many, even, based on the l

From the earlier conversations on this particular issue, business insurance (i.e. landlord insurance, hotel insurance) is needed. You can't get business insurance to run an unlicensed business in a private residence, particularly if a) you

Are you saying you don't believe me? First, I don't wish to have my email address passed on to other people without my permission. Second, I can't imagine what would be accomplished by my emailing you as opposed to addressing - or simply

What are you talking about? I posted the story here after a month had gone by with no word of what the outcome was. It was picked up and went from there - I do not know her and nobody who does had anything to do with it.

Okay, look. As comments on TechCrunch have stated, MAJOR crisis coaching/high-level PR needs to be hired and step in, stat. This is just getting worse and worse.
