True. It really boils down to contextually targetted ads, that's google's bread and butter really. This "non-compete" was a stroke of genius IMO. They came out with a good product using their contextually targetting technology then set up barriers to entry for other potential competitors in that specific space. While they built up their contextually targetted network they left everyone else in the dust, and now, as expected, yahoo is playing catch up. It will be interesting to see what google has in store for us next assuming yahoo gets their act together and makes a halfway decent adsense clone.
Google is lucky no one patented geotargetting by IP for ads in general - they were late in the ad serving ballgame and people were geotargetting ads based on IP for years before google was but an idea in the mind of some stanford researchers. Thanks to not patenting this they were able to make a good chuck of change geotargetting IPs.. well at least they pay / paid Digital Envoy at least $5k/month for their geo targetting DB.
Can't do that with Yahoo's new program. Google doesn't allow you to place ads from another affiliate network which uses the context of your website to target ads to your site.
this is what differentiates adsense from everything else. The tech they acquired from applied semantics works very well as you can see by the success of adsense. It parses websites, figures out their meaning then finds corresponding ads. Not such an easy process.
Yahoo's beta of this showed that their way of doing this is lacking, hopefully they improved it.
Even if true this does not make legitimate exposing a CIA agent and puting many lives at risk.
Don't take my word for it.
"I'm beyond disgusted," a CIA official said last week. I am especially angry about the b_______ explanations that she is not a covert agent. That is an official status, and there are lots of people in this building who are on that status. It's not up to the Republican Party to determine when that status will end for an agent."
Whatever the damage to Plame, there remains the cost paid by the CIA generally. In the wake of the disclosure, foreign intelligence services were known to have retraced her steps and contacts to discover more about how the CIA operates in their countries.
And now his sexual escapades are coming to light. Maybe messing with the CIA wasn't a good idea.
He's toast, get over him. Which country do you support again?
One of many links? There can be only 1 first result in sponsored listings and it's google. Sure it's great that they let other people compete in organic search but they have their foot in their publisher's business, using their leverage, which they have the right to do, to make sure they're first in the paid listing. That's competition with your customers(others who bought adwords CPC for "free email"). That's the problem from a customer's point of view.
What did affiliate networks pioneer? Try adsense. Try linking publishers and advertisers. I know you want to say google invented everything but sadly they did not. Where did they get all those publishers? Affiliate networks. If you hate those annoying ads you must really hate google and their recent adoption of CPM graphical banner ads. Similar case with Yahoo and others who want to do everything, it's best to step back and wonder if you want to associate with such large companies who could swallow most of your traffic at any time(ie you're a free email publisher with adwords placement then all of a suddent google comes in and is #1). In any case I'm no longer affiliated with the industry but I see that you're a google employee. Or really, really stupid. Good luck in life. Seriously. I don't need to educate you anymore.
Check out this search for free email. Notice that the first result on the right is for google's gmail. That competes directly with their other previous publisher sites that did free email. If you have a free email publisher site, google is getting more revenue if you use them, they compete with you as a publisher. Revenue goes to your or them, it's competition, period.
I used to work in the industry for an affiliate network that pioneered this market and was well entrenched before google and remains a great company. there was always the temptation to snag revenue from publishers/advertisers. It's very tempting to push them around and fortunately they never opted to do that, google did.
then there's froogle which competes with many other such sites. It's right in front of you but you're used to it so you don't notice.
Of course not, it doesn't generate enough revenue.
Now, search on google for "free email" and notice how the first result on the right is for gmail. Don't bother trying to use adwords/adsense for your free email publisher site anymore. Basically google picks off the publishers that generate significant revenue either directly/indirectly. The net effect is you shouldn't trust google ad sense if your website makes a lot of money. You'll just be supply greedy google executives with the details of your revenue stream. Go with a pure affiliate network who isn't so greedy.
So basically because he competes with Google he was booted? Doesn't it seem like playing with the devil - joining ad sense? Google could just see which publisher sites generate the most revenue then "steal" that revenue by competing with you and disabling your account.
That's pretty evil if you ask me. I recommend another more trustworthy ad network IMO. One that doesn't compete with your publisher sites.
Claria makes ad networks from CJ to Fastclick to I imagine every other such company quite a chunk of change(think sizable % of revenue). They're aware of what Claria does but when it comes to meeting numbers, do stockholders care? They only care about money. The trick is to not make a big fuss about it. Claria quietly reaps millions and it's in their best interest to keep it under wraps.
So, no, this isn't a conspiracy, it's just microsoft looking to boost revenues and maximize profit like all good capitalists.
Kinda makes you want to pick up the hammer and sickle and go commie.
"I think my intention was good, don't arrest me!" "We're sorry we have to give you a mind probe to see if you're telling the truth."
Am I alone here in thinking it's ridiculous to consider 'intentions'? Apply the law on a case by case basis, don't feed me horse sh*t about intentions.
keepealived allows for hot standby and even active-active setups. Plus LVS syncs state via multicast. Also, no hacking of routing tables needs to be done, the standard IP takeover works. I've used it in production, taken down the primary, failed over seemlessly, state was synced, no lost connections. It worked fine at 1000 connections/second. Have you done this?
hmm I've created LVS patches, I provide detailed information about LVS... and my post is flagged as flamebate vs the original poster who speculated that LVS is a child's toy?
with keepalived doing health checks / failover and using single CPU LVS boxes, it can handle your mission critical apps just fine. DR(direct route) would be more efficient than NAT since you would cut in half the traffic going through your LVS box. The key is single CPU systems, LVS doesnt like multiple CPUs much and it doesn't add much value (according to certain people in the LVS project).
For consumers, the choice of whether to send the data, and how much information to share, will be up to the individual. Though the details are being finalized, Windows lead product manager Greg Sullivan said users will be prompted with a message indicating the information to be sent and giving them an option to alter it, such as removing the contents of the e-mail they were writing when the machine crashed. Also, such reporting will also be anonymous.
Because you know that in the commercial unix world it's common to send core files around, core files which can contain email messages, documents, you name it.

What is Keepalived ?
So in short keepalived is a userspace daemon for LVS cluster nodes healthchecks and LVS directors failover.
