Is there a reason why the Rothschild family doesn't appear on the list? I'd imagine that they are still billionaires.

This seems like quite an interesting development. Isn't this method of 'blogging' something similar to whatMedium is doing? I wonder if they'll start allowing anyone to post ahead of schedule.

Thanks for the advice, it makes sense. However shouldn't the choice be between a feature and a product as they could develop into a business? You can't just make a business like a product, it takes time. A feature/product evolves into a bus

I use this quite often when I'm mocking up a design and I want it to have kind of realism. I've recently discovered http://placehold.it/ which is pretty cool as well

Interesting read. I had no idea about this scam and it appears I am right in the middle of one. Mind you, the item I sold is nowhere near as expensive. Lesson learned though, and I wont be using eBay any time soon.

I had a lot of issues when I upgraded to 11.04 which is why I'm avoiding upgrading to 12.04. From the looks of it, it seems like a wise decision

Slightly related, and I might be a bit late to this party, but is Google defaulting to https for anyone else?

I was disappointed to see that it was booked up. Mind you, I did only notice it the day before. Next time!

Without a social network, Google Games doesn't make sense to me. It would mean that Google is turning into a portal. If such a product is being planned, I'm sure it's part of a larger 'social strategy'.

I agree, it will never happen. What are they giving away to it's competitors though? Webkit it open source. They would still have IE.

I agree, competition is great; it spurs innovation. But I don't see how all browsers using the same rendering engine is bad for competition. Are Safari and Chrome not competing? Are they not innovating? Users would still have a choice of b

I'm curious why Microsoft just doesn't drop Trident, and replace it with Webkit. I'm sure it will bring them and endless amount of great publicity. There should really be just one rendering engine. Dare to dream..
