I doubt it. The cat is out of the bag... Facebook can at a whim change the privacy of your personal data. Sure they caved under pressure and took a step backwards, but whose to say things might not change again in the future? Some people ar

I think most businesses are built "on the back of somebody else". That's the way commerce works. Think of things in the real world: - A store in a mall... depends on the mall operator to maintain and promote the mall - A auto parts ma

I'm beginning to think this whole Android 2.2 thing was planned from the get go to take as much wind out of Apple's sails as possible. Google knew when Apple's big announcement was going to be and most likely they had a good idea what it wa

Read my comment below. A similar service already exists with all the credit bureaus. It's called a "credit freeze". How it works is when you're about to apply for credit somewhere, you ask them "what bureau are you checking?" Then you go on

My guess is that one of the drivers is to beef up their ad platform. It's hard to make $$$ selling local ads if you don't know where the user is located.

One metric of how negative sentiment is the short ratio of the stock (percent of shares sold short). For comparison: AAPL - 1.3% ( http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=AAPL+Key+Statistics ) MSFT - 0.7% ( http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=msft+Key+

Have a little mercy. All MS is saying is that they're working to get things right. All browser vendors crow about the functionality of their beta releases.

Sounds like advertisers are getting screwed too: Facebook sometimes creates a Connection when you post to your wall. If you use the name of a Connection in a post on your wall, it may show up on the Connection Page, without you even knowing

Dramatically faster on Chrome vs. Firefox. I think Google is right... javascript speed does make a difference.

Here's the thing. Don't be put off by the expensive price of ergonomic chairs. I bought my Aeron chair in 2002 and have used it every day since. It's made a huge difference in my back and neck. The chair cost be around $700 at the time, so

It's the logical thing for Adobe to do. Jobs is complaining about the proprietary platform, performance issues and all that. Now it time to turn it around. Adobe will still sell all their tools, they'll still have legions of flash programme

On a side note, with google "open" about so much, why doesn't the google trends graph show absolute numbers rather than this arbitrary scale? I know they're trying to protect their true business model (search+advertising), but it would nice

Adwords has excellent human support. Of course, you have to reach the level where they take enough interest in you. I've found that to be about the $2000/month level. If you get to the $100K+/yr level then you get a rep. with a direct line
