Interesting... especially since I consider paying for advertising "per click" fraudulent as well. In what other form of advertising do you get the brand recognition, message delivery, word of mouth, and all of the ancillary bits of adverti

It would actually probably be a good idea to keep those ribbons around, with links to the story of the CDA. An awful lot of people don't realize that the law passed with lots of support from people who are, inexplicably, still in office.

If hardware were included, I think this would be perfect for the exact reasons you specified. The number of people comfortable enough with computers to deploy something like this for such an important task is vanishingly small when compare

Great product idea! But I have one recommendation that I think, though it would certainly take effort, especially if your company is mostly Mac programmers, would pay off bigtime. Offer hardware. Knock together an Atom-based system that c

The average person is, for no good reason whatsoever, certain that they will never be falsely accused of a crime. They also believe that anyone who has drawn the attention of the police must have done something to deserve it, and are fine

The one fact you will never hear when DNA results are being discussed: 1 out of every 100 DNA tests are bungled by the testing lab. Either through mistake, contamination of samples, whatever. So that "1 in X billion" odds they toss aroun

I don't like the title of this post, just because they're really pointing out that the correlations are actually not statistically significant, they're in error. But, beyond that, it's a very good article with some very important informati

Please keep in mind that Google IS presently the world largest censor. It's pretty clear that they only avoid doing evil when it is not financially incentivized. Apple is just being stupid and shortsighted, especially with the iPad. An o

The explanation given when they put this policy in effect 2 years ago was that they hadn't decided on what they wanted to do in the mobile space yet and they just wanted to make sure nobody moved ahead without them. It's been 2 years and t
