Optimizing News Sites For Google News
malibucreek writes "More trouble for Google News? Yesterday, it was Google News censoring stories for China. Today, the Online Journalism Review details a potential conservative bias in the site's algorithm for news search results. The story also includes some details about how Google ranks stories on its news page. Turns out that on Google News, backlinks do *not* improve search positioning."
Every once in awhile, when I click on a slashdot story (Firefox 1.0 preview), a new tab opens up with the Sybase download page for the crippleware linux database.
It does this all by itself. The first couple of times I figured I must have accidentally clicked the link, but I can confirm now it's doing it all on it's own. It's just too hard to accidentally click the mousewheel on the sybase ad when my finger is nowhere near it.
What's the deal, Taco? Did you just try to invent a new twist on the pop-up, pop-under?
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Google has a conservative bias? "miserable failure" -> I'm Feeling Lucky damn liberal hippys.
It looks that way because of how the liberals and Kerry have been making such asses of themselves lately. The libs had it...and then they threw it away. -1 Troll.
Every time you have to reload a slashdot page because something didn't get displayed, or you get that nothing to see here error, remember:
slashdot uses mod_perl
mod_perl is obviously not appropriate for high traffic sites.
I'll risk being modded offtopic and mention that Krishna Bharat happens to be a graduate of the GVU (Graphics Visualization and Usability) lab at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. I happened to meet him on one of his visits to the school, and he being the first (and only) rep from Google I've met, I found him to fit the Google stereotype pretty snugly. His old webpage at GaTech is here
In any case, I did manage to flunk the Google interview, though I got a TShirt in return, so I guess it's okay.

50 barrels of yellow cake, mined at the Al Akashat mining facility, are stored at Al Tuwaitha south of Baghdad. That is a matter of public record, they've been there since the Gulf War, the UN inspectors including Muhammed Al Baradai (sp) have reported on them for years.
Or perhaps you were referring to the Yellow Cake Iraq was reportedly exporting, as evidenced by the Jordanian flagged freighter owned by the Iraqi P3 agency which was found in a Dutch scrap yard with copious amounts of uranium dioxide (yellow cake) in one of its holds.
That's not a mistake. It's not even alleged by anyone to be a mistake. If you're going to make allegations, at least stick to the allegations that others are making. Don't tool up your own specious assumptions.
