I too run it on a 2006 MacBookPro1,1, and while it may not be lightning fast, it certainly is not slow. I've heard reports that running in 64bit mode also adds a bit of overhead, which may be impairing his performance, and which we cannot e

My father's computer uses msn.com as the homepage, which automatically grabs the focus and puts in in the search field of MSN. I'd guess that 90% of his queries on MSN are w.example.com, where the first "W"s are in the address bar where he

Another non-cited story I've heard is an A/B test, or similar, was once done where they removed the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button from the front page, and an overwhelming number of users said they did not like the solitary search button. Havin

It also took Facebook quite a while to get vanity URLs out of the door. If the Google+ team decided that they did not want to release it to the public until it had feature parity with Facebook, then we never would have seen G+. We should al

For typography, yes. For many blogs in the hacker community, source code snippets inside <code> tags can also be given "smart quotes", which completely breaks any strings that may be present. You forget that Wordpress is used for ma

Cool. I hadn't taken a look at the PAM module personally, so I didn't know if the code was as tightly nit to that implementation as some other crypto code (I'm looking at you, scrypt). Good to see it can be implemented outside of Google pro
