It's a really nice looking site but it's not obvious to me what you are offering, and how I go about getting it. A clearer, less busy, highlight Services and 'Contact Me', perhaps. My 2c.

I do think that Google search by definition "manipulates search results". A tautology? If it didn't, then there wouldn't be results. Curious that legal threats and regulatory challenges came up in an interview discussion...

I got asked brainteasers in one of my (many) Google interviews. Non-engineering position though - close to Product Marketing. I was asked to use the board. Certain interviewers have preferences for certain types of questions. I had question

It amazes me that companies feel that pay cuts can solve their business issues. I got wind of one of these at a previous (40 employees) company. The company folded within three months. I'd already quit by that point...

It's difficult to sue in another country. I don't think he can stop you entering the US or dealing with US companies. Just don't respond to him and don't give him any money. Assume the company is over. Disclaimer: ianal.

This is a neat concept - if you have indexed, up to date content, then people will pay for it - particularly the news outlets. They buy images all the time. Can you tag images as they arrive in near real time? A twitter for real-time photos

That company was iStockPhoto.com, if anyone is curious.

I don't agree that it's worse. I think it's mild. Call it a local-only data-exposing exploit. I find it best to keep the phone in my pocket. It also stops people from stealing it - a more common occurrence than hacking contacts.

I'd think they are responsible for the damage to ipads as it's their design defect/material choice causing this? P.s. I learnt today not to put bamboo in the dishwasher, even on economy cycle.

Various websites exist to connect project creators and programmers. You'll pick up work if you dig around. www.elance.com (better fixed jobs) www.vworker.com (better by the hour) www.ifreelance.com (don't know it well) www.scriptlance.com (

I don't agree with point 1. As a teacher (aged 11+), I can tell you most of the kids I know deserted myspace and bebo for facebook. Perhaps they want to be more grown up - kids want to be adults. And I am sure kids are way better with their

In parts of London they double as advertising space promoting members of the oldest profession. I wonder if this is related.

I wonder whether there is more discussion as a result of him refusing to turn up - perhaps he is more famous because of it. Not sure whether he likes the attention or if it fits his political agenda.
