FWIW, Google Groups powers email distribution lists for Gmail for Work. Or at least, the two are strongly linked. At this point, unlike Reader, there's real cash behind the functionality. It's possible they could just fold it into

IIRC Google's TOS prohibits saving geocoded points. "Caching" is allowed, but I think this has value/is different insofar as it would let you store points permanently without breach of contract.

Possible allusion to this scene in Inglorious Bastards? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7ZouZSlNSc (The slightly phonetic spelling being of the last word in the clip)

While it would be great if the FDA did something about this, there are probably global dimensions to this problem also. Presumably antibiotics are used globally against strains of disease that spread quite merrily from country to country. I

iDeditor is great! Leagues ahead of other OSM interfaces I've seen :) Did MapBox have anything to do with it? Polished! Love the walkthrough! I've just recently discovered (and love) TileMill.

It's pretty incomplete for parts of the world, and certain applications require accuracy (or at least completeness). The answer, of course, is to contribute, but when your core business isn't mapping that's hard to propose as a viable fix.

Totally agree, within Ebay-world. My point was just that novice buyers have no conception that 'bad' doesn't mean what it means in the rest of the world. Maybe eBay need another level -- "Vindictive", say? ;-)

The notion that negative feedback ought somehow only be posted in event of egregious misdescription is a bizarre, Ebay-centric one. It was a bad customer experience - of course her response is negative! eBay have designed it this way, but m

I work for a large media organization and we have the ability to suspend advertising in response to crisis events. I'd assume other major outlets would have equivalent capabilities. At the end of the day advertisers don't want to be associa

These are often too narrow and end with your face in the screen. I've apparently got perfect vision but had difficulty focusing when I attempted such a setup using standard-depth shelving.

Usually? Which ATs are you describing? We care about this sort of thing and weren't aware of that constraint - a quick Google doesn't highlight any obvious issues with Jaws or NVDA, except for this [1] in 2003. But since then there have bee

It's been nearly six years of free. That's pretty gradual strong-arming. Note that per user limits continue to apply, so people have as much incentive as they ever did to upgrade, plus for any new domains/projects people will naturally eith

Price anchoring / gimmicks for lower tiers? The idea is cool enough to reward on its own, but if you can reward it and get stuff, well, that might push a few up a tier.

My (outsider's, totally unprivileged) understanding of Google's traffic data is that they combine official trip-time data in partnership with road authorities with realtime data from Google Maps users. If true, they've already got data with

The load/unload dwell time would impact the service's efficiency - sometimes it's better to have more low density vessels than fewer large ones. It's largely a function of the journey time, though.

The impact this makes on perceived speed is impressive. However, a word of caution. We tried this for a while and found it interfered with scrolling behaviour on link-heavy pages, not to mention making event capture for swipeable elements d
