I don't understand how this is considered "counter" or anti-google by opening up a similar service.
It seems that a lot of people around here want google to have a monopoly since it's good(tm) and microsoft is a bad(tm) monopoly. (Not that I'm a fan of MS).
All monopolies are bad, and there should be a free and open market. For all you know, this could be better than google's interface.
Mine was at 1428, I hit refresh then it went up to 1429. Looks like they're doing it slowly to prevent sudden chaos on their disk drives (just like they do the invite-only system to control the amount of users registering).
Does anyone know how many channels this device is capable of?
What frequencies does it run on?
I see it highly likely that if this thing gets popular, it will end up similar to the original wireless phones in the early 80's with one antenna on a high tower that covers an entire city. Unfortunately, only 30 people would be able to use it in a city at one time.
It'll be a whle.. but something doesn't make sense.
January 19, 2038 @ 03:14:08 gives the result 2147483648 which is 2^31
That brings me to a few issues. a) January 19, 2038 @ 3:14:07 is the last second that can be counted with 31 bits, one bit is the sign bit. Do we need a sign bit? Are dates prior to 1970 used/valid?
b) The next second would be essentially -2147483648, I'm sure we'll convert to 64bit counters by then anyway. Is anyone doing anything to prepare?:)

SP1 has been out for about a month. What's news is that there were a few Updates ontop of SP1 released yesterday.
How long before we can use his program to catch duplicate articles on slashdot?
Those "web definitions" are a different service than the Population ones that the article is talking about.
Looks like it only works on the normal google.com site, not on any of the localized sites (google.ca, etc.) for now.
Umm.. I've tried the queries in the comment, none of them seem to work for me. Maybe cuz I'm using google.ca?
You never accidentally typed slashdot.com (back in the days when the .com was owned by someone else?).
It doesn't make any sense to measure mpg when you're running on battery.
The obvious questions I'd like to add are:
How often does it need a recharge?
How is mpg measured?
PLEASE MOD THIS (and other similar posts) DOWN, this has been in every single article today, and he has got mod points in each one.

Copy/paste 1112331600 and 1112439600 into the above site to test. (I guess the last 3 digits are milliseconds)
Apparently, it looks like it depends on your system clock! If you want 2GB now, set your date to the future!
FYI, if you want to know how long it will take to get to 2GB, see the following algorithm from their web page:
var START = 1112331600000;
var END = 1112439600000;
var quota;
function OnLoad() {
el("gaia_loginform").onsubmit = lg;
gaia_setFocus();
LogRoundtripTime();
if (!quota) {
quota = el("quota");
updateQuota();
}
}
function updateQuota() {
if (!quota) {
return;
}
var now = (new Date()).getTime();
if (now < START) {
setTimeout(updateQuota, 1000);
} else if (now > END) {
quota.innerHTML = 'Over 2000';
} else {
quota.innerHTML = format(((now - START)/(END - START)*1025) + 1025);
setTimeout(updateQuota, 50);
}
}

It's clear that Adobe is trying to protect their trademark from becoming public. But...
Can Adobe do anything to a non-user (i.e. someone who hasn't agreed to their license) for using "photoshop" as a verb or adjective?

Nope, just compatible with Firefox and NOT IE
This reminds me of my dad pointing out the odometer on his car every time a cool number like a palindrome or repetitive #'s came up.
