"Prospective members of Women's Park confirm their identity by sending a postcard to the company, and all messages sent to the site are checked before being posted." I don't get it. How does sending a postcard to a site confirm your identi

It doesn't really make sense though. I assume the aim isn't to go 'off the grid' but push something to the top of the results. Your CV perhaps? Anyone looking, a recruiter for example, will have done countless similar searches and will kn

It depends on how you define "a bit". The last time I paid any attention to this the toolbar PR was updated every 3 months or so and those updates were already outdated. I can't remember how outdated the updates were or even if google tol

Toolbar PR != google internal PR The story here is that even with very few links this site has been able to secure a pagerank of 2. The suggestion being that PR 2 is impressive. It's not, I would wager that any site with at least some lin

This isn't exactly 'The problem' but it certainly is 'A major problem'. I was expecting 'The problem' to be password resets being sent to email accounts. We're always going to have to compromise between security and convenience. Someone i

Is this meant to be sarcastic? If not, then I really don't get it. How is this in any way world changing? It's just some pretty pictures from a standard google office complex.

It's almost funny reading some of the comments attempting to twist the story around the US position. In the UK abortion is very nearly approaching a non-story. The only surprise for me was that google banned the advert to begin with.

That doesn't really make it any less annoying. You don't have to use the same title used by what you're linking to and in this instance it would have been great if you had changed it to lowercase.

All the people interviewed were female and worked in media in one form or another. If that is the only demographic where "BUI" is common I can't say it's widespread. Difficult to know from this article.

"Ed. Note: This article originally appeared in the September 2003 issue of Esquire." the editor actually went "Holy &#!! it's 9/11 coming up! Quick, what can we post?!" five minutes before going to press.

This article was published back in May. Although it's marginally interesting reading it in hindsight I don't think it is terribly relevant to today.

The 'post' is 6 lines and serves solely to link to this interview: http://blogs.openforum.com/2008/09/10/how-to-save-a-billion-... I realise some people are going to click on a link labelled with guykawasaki.com simply because it is label

The only fish they mention is salmon. I'm not entirely sure all the health issues surrounding intensively farmed salmon have been established yet. I would say mercury is only one aspect we should be concerned about.

Statements like "Totnes, a town of about 8,000 people" and "In Totnes, there are about 5,000 notes in circulation" suggest to me this is no more than a gimmick. Even as a local currency it can't work.

I don't think the problem is one of complexity as such but more of being more complex than people imagine. Very few people have any knowledge of high energy physics, so only those who actually know what they're talking about offer an opini

A fair point, I should have phrased that differently. What I meant to say was that basic healthcare as a cost is independent of salary. Having only paid tax for one year of my life so far perhaps it is easier than I had imagined to adopt t

"Tend to" is a nice statistic on a population level but has little relevance to you or me as individuals. I live in the UK were basic health care is free so perhaps I don't have the experience to comment but healthcare wouldn't be somewhere

How far has the automobile industry advanced in the last 100 years? Four wheels, petrol engine. Personally I'm still waiting for my flying car. Of course that could be slightly harsh. The land speed record has been broken again and again

Except England, or even the UK, doesn't have a President so we tend to assume such discussion relates to the US. The point is valid though.

I was expecting this to be a poll. There has been a lot of commentary on Chrome. I do think it has been too much. I wouldn't say too much hype though. Quite a lot of the commentary has been on the problems with the EULA and questioning t

I'm in the same camp. Chrome really needs a decent ad and popup blocker. I think I've grown spoilt on firefox.

Doesn't the very nature of Google Chrome prevent such an app from emerging? They seem to be sticking to the standards as far as possible. If you add google gears to any other (decent) browser the added benefits of Chrome will be lost for
