Well, I really don't think there's much to do here. In this case, Google wasn't responsible for Wave's failure to gain traction. Not to mention, Google keeps their employees quite happy AFAIK. I'm sure Wave's death played a key role in the

I can't wait to try this out :) It looks like a very cool concept, and while watching the video, I doubted it at first. But I think with practice, that could prove to be the best mobile keyboard ever.

This would have been better asked on Quora, imo, so the best answers rise to the top. Sorting comments by date is a very old way of thinking, and really doesn't organize the information in any meaningful way at all. With that rant aside, it

I agree, especially since one is passive and one is active :) The entire nature of passive is you don't have to do very much :P However, I think the question is a bit deeper. What method seems to be best, or better yet, what method seems to

I imagine most people want the pre-IPO stock. That's the only reason I could honestly conceive. It's the sad truth of the world we live in. Facebook is, like MySpace, always at risk of being overwhelmed by the next social go-to website. App

"IT folks are forced to wing it using critical thinking skills, which you don't usually pick up in a beige classroom." That sums it all up quite well :) The best of the best in IT know all they need to know out of passion long before they g

Imo, their algorithms can be tested in developer environments (testing/development servers). And even if they absolutely HAD to do it on the live servers, then they could have easily removed their diggs after testing. Their's just making an

Tbh, this is far too complex to just look at bandwidth... On your side, not only is it more bandwidth, but it's more CPU time on their servers, granted I'm sure the shorter the search is, the more the raw search data is cached (not a static

I would think the most important thing to do first is to stop and think about the logic of the code. Plan a small and simple roadmap in your mind, or on paper if your mental memory is low. This will save you a lot of the try-and-fail attemp

I always over-estimate. That way, when I tell them my estimate was high, they're shocked and impressed, and glad to save some money. Higher satisfaction, and they're likely to return. Alternatively, you could give them a range. Let them kno

sadly, the google suggestion "api" (lol, it's not really an API, hah) will not work with any obscene terms. There's no way to enable it at all :( sorry if that's a disappointment. let me just say, "null" is the most common page accessed, an

thanks for your feedback! this sort of stuff makes me smile to myself, and even though I probably look like a loser while doing so, I'm very thankful :)

These tools are pretty intensive, but they're not getting THAT much traffic. After being on Mashable and TechCrunch, while it's getting a LOT of activity (so much so that my CDN is stressing out), it's probably a VERY small number of Google

If I'm not mistaken, the letters after the i are causing the suggestions from Google Suggestions to come back empty, giving a null variable. I haven't figured out why yet, but I do know all xxx-related terms will return null as well. Maybe

I've gotten a few offers :) But unfortunately, I haven't made any decisions. On a blunt note, I haven't heard from Google. Sadface.

Sounds likely to me. My server accessing and caching the images is in the US. So you're essentially seeing the American-generated results, which might be less optimized for other countries.
