Don't you dare badmouth Microsoft mice! The original Intellimouse Explorer is the best piece of hardware ever created. I have three, and my main one has been through hell for the past 7 years (multiple drinks spilled on it, etc) and still works perfectly. 3
GTA, for example is worse quality on the PS3 I'm curious where you're getting your information from, since every single comparison review I've read has said that the PS3 version runs smoother and has less texture pop-in.
The pros went like this: PS3: Smoother graphics. 360: More solid online experience/downloadable content.
I am not sure what you mean by "doesn't have WiFi" Probably "you have to pay extra to get wifi capability", and that the accessory that provides it is absurdly overpriced (much like the 360 hard drives).
Considering that Google has only been gaining marketshare, it's likely that you just got a ranking change on MSN once you redesigned.
I used to get a ton of traffic from Yahoo, but that was only because I had the number one spot on there for a relatively common term (something I barely ranked on in Google).
You definitely still have the right to not be searched. They will not take away your laptop and forcibly search it. THAT would be a violation of rights.
Just don't be surprised if you're not allowed to take advantage of a service if you don't play by their rules.
The problem is, they have to be done REALLY well. Some great examples of advertisements in programming adding to show quality rather than detracting from it can be found in 30 Rock and The Colbert Report.
Examples against it are, well, most everything else.
Why are they allowing the same computer multiple accounts in the same day? Anything you try to judge "same computer" on can be gotten around and can have possibly bad consequences for normal users.
Why are they allowing the same account creation attempt to fail over three times? Because CAPTCHAs are often undecipherable even for humans.
For those not aware, Monsanto has been avidly continuing to research ways to ensure that crops will die and not reproduce. As I said before, these people mess with the very code of life, and are deliberately researching ways to END IT . To modify an organism to die and remove it's ability to reproduce is an incredibly serious action. I hate the company, too, but this is a good thing. From what I understand, they make it so these plants don't release pollen, therefore, they cannot spread their modified genes to other plants. Any good or bad traits in their modified plants will stay in those plants, and then they will die with those plants. So if they accidentally make a plant that kills bald eagle babies, they'll all be dead in a generation and that gene won't have spread.
Did you miss the part where they said later estimates said hundreds of billions of barrels? We've found another 12 years of oil, assuming that we don't get any more fuel efficient during that time.

It also guarantees that no regular-Joe home users will ever use that OS because they don't want to have to change permissions on every shitty time-waster game they download from the internet.
You do realize that blocking the easy-to-block ads will just make them create more annoying ones, right? (see: interstitials)
Anyway, if you don't like ads, don't use ad-supported sites. It's that simple. If you like the site, leave the ads on and support the creator. Don't be childish about it.
Criticizing Google over China is ridiculous and anyone who does it is extremely short-sighted.
Which is better for the Chinese people: having Google provide a slightly censored set of search results for people in China, or having Google be blocked completely for the Chinese and them being forced to use a China-run search engine? There's no other option here. If Google doesn't censor results, the Chinese government would be more than happy to just block them completely. An extremely evil, but Chinese-run, company would then take Google's place, and the Chinese citizens would be completely screwed.
If Google doesn't keep its foot in the door in China, then there is absolutely nothing it can to do try and promote change.
Compressing everything and losing the ultra-high quality and amazing audio tracks completely ruins the entire reason to buy a high-def movie in the first place.
Just look at the PS3 vs. 360 attach rates This probably has much more to do with the fact that, having been out a year less, the PS3 just doesn't have as wide a game selection.
My place of employment has a very healthy mix of Windows, Ubuntu, and OSx computers. Twice since I've started there, OSx updates have broken critical functionality of the computers (like wireless capability), and there have been no problems with updates to any other operating systems. I've gotten to experience these firsthand as an at-work Mac user (by choice, mind you).
Vista isn't a bad piece of software. You can criticize it on its high system requirements or the fact that there isn't really a hugely compelling reason to upgrade, but that's about it. The problems come about because of poorly-made drivers and third-party programs which don't like the new and beneficial improvements that Vista has introduced (security, etc).
So don't install it. As with Alexa, they make it no secret that they're collecting information through the toolbar. If you don't like those terms, then why use it?
Of course, you fail to mention all the people and businesses that benefit hugely from the free/cheap Google services. The benefit to society is far greater than the detriment to other companies.
Do you think that FOSS is bad because it's free and taking sales away from commercial software?
Well, 1) it's probably legally required to have something like that in there, and 2) it's probably in there not for something like web search, but for things that you have to sign up for (GMail, Base, etc).
Perhaps I'm wrong, but after scanning this, it seems ridiculous and inflammatory that this is posted as "GOOGLE IS TRACKING OUR KIDS!!!". Doing a couple searches, I didn't see anything on "age", and the only thing that "child" brought up was:
Further, a given topic might be divided based on degrees of expertise or sophistication. For example, a user interested in the topic "volcano" could be interested in a basic introduction to volcanoes (a novice), a technical understanding of volcanoes (an expert), or be interested in a tourism information regarding volcanoes (some sophistication). Different sets of one or more ads can be associated with the different levels of user expertise in a give topic. Using evidence of sophistication determined using user actions for example, ads targeted for novices, average sophistication, or experts (e.g., children, tourists, scientists) may be served and rendered. Oh yeah, very evil.

You don't think four and a half billion dollars is a "reasonable" bid? What planet are you from?
Oh no, math and I have a far more... intimate relationship.

Google Apps is AMAZING for anything that needs collaboration. It's not as full-featured as MSOffice, but it's meant to be used for different things.

You can get a Dell Inspiron 1720 17" laptop with an 8600M GT for $1000 TOTAL. That kind of throws your post off a bit.
