Can someone clarify - does it mean that using the API I can get Guardian content, like a whole article for example, show it on my website and display my own ads around it? If so, that is quite a big step forward amounting to copylefting the

Google was also at fault, because they had to provide a reason for disabling his account. I think it was correct to sue them at least for discouraging such a practice in the future. He was their customer, it is too much to ask for at least

Exactly my thought, it's a simple bookmarking application. And I can't run it on IE7 because author must use rounded corners and at the same time doesn't want to go through the hassle to implement them under IE. ;-)

Hi swombat, Regarding gawker, as I remember, there was a discussion here whether to ban it, and most people were for the ban. The reason was the low quality of journalism and defamation tendencies in some of its articles. So gawker is indee

I know, but I wrote "anything legal". Reading the book to an audience might not be legal, but running it through the reading software at my home certainly is not illegal.

He is ridiculous. I can do anything legal with the purchased file, that's my basic right as a customer.

I think this is just another "micropayment dream", and will not work ultimately. Internet just doesn't work this way. The only thing I can imagine could save online newspapers is, that they will become better and better in quality, that wil

Interesting article, but I don't agree with the simile. Internet didn't ask anything from NYT, and I don't think Internet is that boy. Internet is more like another tree, which most boys started to prefer

Yes, there is a room. For example, I myself still didn't found an "ultimate" sharing site for myself. I use Google picasaweb, because I like the integration with the Picasa client, but I miss the social features. I can have those on flickr,

My sentiment exactly. What I would really want is a good email client, like Thunderbird but with Gmail workflow - so at least it will support grouping emails by conversation ( but not the way TB does it). I wonder why no one implemented tha

I've got the impression that FedEx wanted to fire Ketchum and now they have found a good pretence. If I am wrong, couldn't they just be quiet about it?

This could be done, but only on some subset of wikipedia articles. One of the strong points of W is that it reacts to new events very quickly...for example, look at how detailed is the page for Obama inauguration ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w

It doesn't look bad, but Asus will come with a new generation of their EEE netbooks this year, which could be folded to tablet pc with multitouch (Eee PC T91). So for a few more bucks I will get superset of Crunchpad with much more function

I would like to ask - is Siemens somehow unique in doing this? In the region where I live, from unofficial sources of course, I heard this is a very common practice when a company wants to win a contract...especially government one.
