The thing that surprises me the most is that people were seemingly ok with a player having any large percentage of the network power. The new development seems to be that one player is verifiably controlling 51% of the market. This doesn&

Yeah, I readily admit rising fuel costs drive up the prices of most consumable goods. It's likely that the closing of nuclear plans was a significant contributor to that as well. My point was that given the situation, it is better to h

Wait, are they buying AdWords and then putting Google Ads on the pages that people land on? Does that make any sense? Does Google pay out for those impressions?
