Cry me a river. Anyone can go to these other sites if they want. If Google is the best, no one cares. I use Google because all those services are integrated. There is no monopoly on search. People are confusing monopoly with everyone choosing to use Google. It cannot be a detriment if most people are choosing to visit Google.
It is odd about the good results on DuckDuck since they are supposedly from Bing. Bing is trash, but somehow DuckDuckGo works? What is going on here? Typical Microsoft blunder? Watch the Duck eclipse Bing.
I hate tailored search results. This My World stuff should be off to the side or distinctly segregated at the top. I have found myself switching to private mode just to search. It changes the results dramatically. The tailored ads are especially annoying. I visited liquidweb several weeks ago JUST to check them out and now all of my ads are liquidweb. I have never seen a tailored ad I wanted to see or was interested in. I have had common users comment that tailored ads creep them out.
The team is most likely too large. This will exacerbate any communication and QC issues. I can just imagine the poor programmers working on this turd. Please hit thedailywtf.com guys; we want to hear your stories.
Yes, but google is a monopoly because people fucking navigate under their own fucking free will to their website and run a search. Why? Because THEY FUCKING WANT TO RUN THEIR SEARCH ON GOOGLE!! ZOMG! Do they want Bing? No. Do they want Alta Vista? No. Do they want Dogpile? No. Let's stop pretending this is AT&T or Microsoft where everyone got locked in by chance and they no longer have a choice. A lot of established businesses are upset because Google ganked their industry due to their superior innovation. Notice the attack on Google while all kinds of assholes run rough shod over other aspects of our lives. Who's beating down Verizon's door? Who's kicking in teeth on Wall Street? Where is the big investigatory hoopla aimed at Congress? Let Google dominate the world of search information and ads. Out of the regular people in the world who is it going to hurt? Hell, Google is handing the average Joe a piece of the advertising world cake. I make money serving a couple measly Google ads on my website. Years ago the money I make would have landed in the coffers of a multinational publishing conglomerate. You people and your Google bashing suck dick. STFU!
Why would they charge? Because they have a glut of crap flying at them? If you submit a paper that is worth something they should pay you. I smell crap.
If I were conducting DNA research on how to turn on immortality genes, and I'm not, I wouldn't broadcast that fact to the public. In fact, I would keep it completely secret. The last thing our government wants is the average Joe living for 1000 years. The same goes for any healing technology.
Smart phones are not Microsoft's business. It would be like Lockheed-Martin trying to manufacture desktop computers. They don't know anything about it and would probably not fit culturally. Microsoft has a hard time engaging new ventures effectively because of their culture. They need a new captain AND a new culture.
that they don't know their material. They have memorized what they were required to know and passed their tests
Welcome to bureaucratic education. It is a machine that serves itself and requires a uniform procedure for everything so it can track what is going on. Everything become regimented so it can be filed and tracked. Long ago the filing and tracking became the priority. There is no mechanism that can instill understanding efficiently and still suck in a large amount of paying students.
Reforming this is a challenge. It will not be reformed on purpose.

I say take it to the courts and let it stew for a decade, and the government will lose.

Google Google Google....this about FaceBook bashing, NOT Google! Your ID isn't low enough to change the subject. Bye Bye

There is a quote button?! Where is it!?
That feature is going to have to be removed.
Thank god for these inventions! The system wouldn't let me take a half day before.
Since when does and ad network enjoy a right to exist? This is all off base.

Troll badge, now that is AN honor!

Cupertino has started dosing again.
Indeed, they own them without the pesky problems of dealing with the overhead. Typical rape case. How did this happen?
That's like my neighbor passing a law that his family policies are now my family policies. Doesn't work that way. Back under the bridge.

I don't want to know what you are doing, I can see that. I want to know why you are doing it.
Those lectures are awesome. There are many covering numerous engineering subjects.
Labeling a Porsche 911 Turbo as a car is deceptive. It is a race machine. A Honda Accord is a car.

How about for free?
Good stuff for engineers:

They're thinking about ten million people going to Youtube to watch an untelevised debate between candidates without "R" or "D" behind their name.
In Washington, that is akin to spawning an inquisition.
