My thoughts exactly. Wandering in a store and seeing the same kid enjoying a game when you leave is much better marketing than a Blue Sony of Death could ever hope to be.
Novell and Microsoft have commissioned a survey to prove that customers love their interoperability and patent deal
If you commission a survey to prove something, of course it's going to prove what you want. Maybe they should've commissioned a survey asking people what they *think* about it.
And with good reason. This having gone undetected for a year shows there must be something very wrong with their IT department, like blind faith in their security? Isn't it reasonable to audit your systems, particularly those with sensitive information like this?
I've wondered about this update server before... does WinXP actually validate the stuff it downloads before installing it? Even if the update server is hard to compromise, some malware writer could have their malware auto-update by editing the hosts file.
That's probably because of license agreements made with the corporate consumers of said DRM, allowing them to sue (or jane, or...) Microsoft's pants off when the product 'protecting' their music/video fails. This in stark contrast to the EULA which disclaims any warranties and then some.
If Google has a 73% market share in search, it does not follow they also have a 73% market share in online advertisement.
I'd even go as far as to posit that advertising with a search engine is of limited value as punters will be spending more time on the page they've found, than on the search engine's SERPs. Google's search market share and AdSense's market share are two different things, the can increase and decrease in popularity irrespective of one another, I would assume.
It may very well be possible that companies will more and more find AdSense to be a useful platform, whilst more and more people turn to MSN for their actual search needs. Or vice versa.
I hope this comes to pass. If it does, I was told a few years ago, that I was in the running for a job at Google's lunar base. http://www.google.com/jobs/lunar_job.html
I can't wait to move! Would that come with a.luna Gmail address?

It'll just get your longitude wrong by a factor 1,000?
Well, we all know that blog comments and /. are pinnacles of relevancy...
Getting 69 may just have been wishful thinking on the editor's part?

Instructions like that could speed up compression.
So does Oracle, except they only visit /. once every two years or so.

Indeed, theoretically it's a more than decent platform for F@H, et al.
