Wow, slide two was TERRIBLE! I couldn't read the text with that very distracting background, who does that?

Good point, I didn't really think about that. Perhaps somebody could build a new kind of datastore that takes advantage of that?

I would imagine the blazing random reads and writes of this drive would drastically help database performance (and possibly allow operations too expensive in time or number of IOs to become more feasible). Remember you can always push the l

I've had major issues with the Flash player not having an up to date and stable 64-bit version. Everything else has been perfect.

With the Internet I find I get more instant "this just happened" news (without analysis, with lame analyis or with inaccuracies). I'd be willing to go to a weekly format with more thoughtful analysis. Take The Economist for instance, it's n

"500 million monthly users" means users who are active at least once a month, which I think qualifies as active. That's not counting every registered account at all (I'm not sure there's any official numbers on that but it's a lot higher th

Yahoo! has been an OpenId provider since Jan 30 of this year ( http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2008/01/yahoo-openi... ). Also YOS supports OpenSocial, so it's very much similar to Facebook Connect (Correct me if I'm wrong but I don

I highly doubt it but I can recommend X-Plane. It runs fantastically on the phone and you can even do ILS approaches.

"Unlimited" is clearly misleading, as "only" 751,296,000 TWh of energy are absorbed by the Earth every year, which means it cannot be more than that. So unless basically mathematics has changed on me, that's not "unlimited". Say "a lot" or

Yes. At work we've got several small teams (sometimes just one person), and each work on their own branches (basically, there's release branches and branches with shared content too). With a single team or just a handful of people this may

What you have to understand, and is pointed out very briefly in the TC article, is that EVERY email from Jerry is lowercase. I can see how some people think this is offensive, but honestly, they lack the context of every other email he's ev

I think you're getting revenue and net income confused. Revenue is over $7B TTM...Net INCOME is over $1B TTM. Sure Q3 was $54M, but at least use TTM or something other than multipling by 4. That's just misleading. Also even the linked artic

Where exactly did you get these numbers? Unless Yahoos earn an average of $35k a year, $50M is way off. Also net income is over $1B a year. Not disagreeing with your point at all, just curious about the numbers you mention. http://finance.

I wish I could down-vote Flash. Please don't fix that…as much as I want to be able to watch videos on the web from my phone, I don't want to do it through Flash.
