I may not have been very clear about the point I was trying to make. Search (and other services) do make up their core business, and people confuse the issue when they exclusively focus on advertising because it is the source of most of t

I'm not sure why variations on this comment are posted so often. What is profound about it, if most people understand how Google makes most of its money, and it provides little insight on understanding the company's decisions? A more useful

There haven't been many serious discussions about privacy or tracking in the US either. The only exceptions might be health data and some financial data, yet much of that information could probably be mined to, using data on purchases and o

A Brave New World does seem more modern than 1984 even though it was written nearly 20 years earlier. I suppose it's because international politics right now resemble the early 1932 mood more closely than the mood in 1949. The audience

Access can be a convenient way to distribute structured data that is relatively static to other people, such as colleagues in another office, when it is not worth the effort to get approval for and implement a longer term solution. I'm surp

For your purposes, something like Notational Velocity or nvAlt on a Mac, Resoph Notes on Windows, or PlainText on iOS might be much better products. They use SimpleNote or Dropbox for cloud storage and synching across devices.

I kind of wonder why having her record sealed would matter at all. I suppose it helps keep her off of inconvenient watch lists, but the extensive coverage has almost made her a public figure.

Those analyses are interesting when the proposals project a 10-20 year use of the structure, and include the demolition and disposal costs of the building itself.

How is that relevant? They don't own the entire network and it wouldn't make them a monopoly natural or otherwise.

I suspect that the above commenter is skeptical about carbon emissions as a legitimate externality. There are also plenty of people who do not think we should be able to address externalities through legislation. It is strange though becaus

Oops, you're right. It is getting difficult to see why there isn't just one line with 11", 13" and 15" versions that vary in only weight and power.

It may also be worth noting that the difference in power is significantly greater than that, but still probably is not discernible in most situations. The MBA has a 2-core i7-3667U-2.0GHz while the rMBP has a 4-core i7-3615QM-2.3GHz. There

Shorting is great because it helps minimize how out of control bubbles get. Yet, it isn't free money, because you actually have to be right about a stock being overvalued, as the case seems not to have been here. Being an underinformed nays

Unfortunately this case serves as a proxy for so many other issues that it is difficult to discuss the challenges of geography and jurisdiction on their own. It can go the other way, too. Recently, the Supreme Court uncharacteristically uph
