   The Google fiber project was very much a aligned with their regular business model. Google fiber is dead because deep packet inspection is dead. The preemptive bad PR around snoopvertising and AT&T trying to compete made Google go, “oh

    I honestly believe they WILL implement copy paste... ... along with tracking exactly what you copied, when, where you hovered your mouse, inserting all sorts of features into your copied piece of “plain text” ... along with the ability to f

    All advertising is a non-necessary evil, with ONE exception only: I’m IN a store, show me ads with spec sheets for items IN your store only. I save time. You sell more, more easily.
