From a site owner's perspective, I don't like this. It's always been possible for a site owner to track certain things via access logs, I think Google should still allow for those basic metrics to be tracked via Google Analytics. While it's

Assuming that's true (what does a white person say in their e-mails), Nielsen can do it legally. There's no way Google can sniff and data mine your e-mail within the law or their TOS.

No, they aren't. If you're saying there are more of them and that Nielsen relies on a sample, then that's probably right. (Although, statistically, I'm not sure that matters). And Google doesn't use analytics from set-top boxes, they use da

Nielsen's value lies in their ability to know exactly who is watching TV (or using the computer, now that they can monitor internet usage). Members of a household log in to a Nielsen box when they watch TV, and Nielsen knows precise demogra

Before I saw your request, I put this one together: http://imgur.com/pR1IL.png It's Win7 FF on the left, Safari on Mac on the right. I'll try to get some more when I'm at work tomorrow.

On my Windows 7 machine, they're really ugly (in IE, FF, Chrome and Safari). I double checked to make sure ClearType was enabled, and it is. I don't think I'd use any of these in a project where I needed a polished look and feel. I much pre

I really wish they offered a 512MB server for $0.05/hr. At $0.11, their smallest instance still costs over $80/month. I find $80 cost-prohibitive when considered in the context of a side project that I'd like to try out. If AWS had a cheape

This sounds like someone at Fortune trying to do something industrious and then getting smacked by the higher-ups. I wonder how many good ideas are quashed simply because of policy.

This article is complete garbage. It gives absolutely zero facts to back up the author's assertion that Apple's recent behavior has led to Android's gains. How can a publication publish this? Look at some of the ambiguous language used by t

I haven't used oEmbed before, but I really like that it's possible to specify a max height or max width. That's not anything that Embedly's bringing to the table, it's just nice. I do really like the idea of only having to call one service

I'm very glad to see you guys moving in this direction. I, frankly, hated Scribd before, even though you guys had a relatively nice PDF reader. The only suggestion I have right now is to have the full screen button take into account the lon

It may be because I'm unfamiliar with the system, but I can't seem to find the contracts or awards. What search criteria did you use to find them?

Any real developer would not in good conscience be able to support this. I hate such broad-sweeping statements. What is clear is that Apple most definitely would [abuse their loyal users and make them pawns for the sake of trying to hurt

No, probably not, but any app that hopes to compete had better be ready for the next version of the OS, and this program gives developers access to betas.

I think you raise a very good question. I hadn't explicitly considered it before, as I was writing from my feelings on what a Web developer should know. Let me try to define my cut off. It's not where the abstraction stops, because TCP/IP/S

If Django's core community doesn't have anyone who can evaluate these types of code changes effectively, it might be wise to have the Django Foundation hire a crypto consultant. It seems like there'd be a great market in post-Docs looking f

While your language^3 comment is technically true, this seems to be simply shifting one markup syntax to another, using a language to perform the translation. In addition, using something like SHPAML requires knowledge of the final output s
