At least you had the ability to modify your details in that case. With this blogpost it sounds like your location is immutable once your account is created.

WTF? A search page on Bing includes: * image search results * a 300 pixel wide column on the RHS for linking your Facebook account to retrieve Facebook results * News search * "Related searches" * "Trends to talk about"

"Google has discovered that an incorrect result is better than no result at all when it comes to keeping people on their Websites and continue to generate ad revenue." Big eyeroll here. Returning a probabilistic match is a nefarious plot fo

Apple could, and apparently they have a year left on their contract?

I think I need a monitor with better color fidelity. Half of these look like whiteness.

Wow. VB wastes no time in editorializing, it's right there in the headline.

This is surprising. I just spilled hot grits onto my lap. This (and Netcraft) confirms the rumors that Slashdot is dying.

Somewhat off topic: what happened to Mini Microsoft? It seems like he/she was intercepted and lobotomized by Microsoft PR. The open threads with wonderful discussion (one of the best venues for talking across silos) habitually wither from n

I don't know why this article says that Microsoft was 5 years late to the web search party. Microsoft had a search engine in the late 90's, MSN Search.

Bad memories of writing CS assignments on overtaxed Sun workstations, with that crap WM. I fetishized those expensive purple boxes until I had to use one.

I've noticed that the attacks are quite vague and consist of demanding some sort of proof that PJ is not engaged this or that (e.g. eating babies.) Also, there's some ridiculous notion that she hides behind a pseudonym because she uses her

Looks like it's not just SaaS that is susceptible to major feature disruption.

Twitter: * single point of failure * one namespace for all users (remember how much AOL sucked? xXAllNamesAreTaken1998Xx) * the service is defined by its terse 140 character limits and the core use case would degrade if this was lifted. Sil

Yahoo's front page is 600kb and finishes rendering after about a second. Google is 17kb, and renders in a tenth of that. More Googlification awaits.

Sounds like a load of FUD to me. DOM elements are DOM elements, aren't they? How would Chrome's JS interpreter be able to discriminate ad content from anything else?

I hope the Tech Evangelists (shills) don't get a hold of this document. Give this a read, the good stuff starts at Page 3. http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/comes-3096....

One of those C64 books that goes from "how to plug in cables and switch the computer on" all the way to tweaking memory values with PEEK and POKE. I read that when I was 6 and loved it. Now, computer books and manuals have a tiny fraction o

Getting blown from one framework to another so easily means you're not doing a good job of getting traction on your project. Build some positive momentum and then staying the course will become natural.
