And yet Israel still treats their Palestinian neighbors better than most of the nearby contries treat their Palestinian refuge camps. Naturally, the same people who blame the former on "teh Evil Jews" also blame the latter on "teh Evil Jews" (as well as the national debt, the behavior of Hollywood, and price of gas,.....).
A caged bird is still caged. I would challenge you to get off your high horse and live in the world which they do.
It's anti-semitic in the sense that it's usually mentioned as part of some larger anti-semitic rant.
As others have pointed out, nothing anti-semitic was said so this is basically the same as Godwin's law here.
On the other half of your comment - if Palestinians were launching rockets at my neighborhood school, I would have been vigorously advocating a Carthaginian peace myself, so I can only admire Israel's restraint in the circumstances.
Israel doesn't show any restraint at all. Basically they're attacked by crude rockets of questionable effectiveness and they respond with military grade weapons. The number of Israelis killed by these rockets since 2001 is 31. I'm pretty sure that they've killed more innocent Palestinians than that.
People are probably so up in arms about it because Google was taken to court over privacy issues in Buzz and the outcome of that was that Google agreed that they wouldn't make any future privacy misrepresentations.
I personally have my browsers set to block 3rd party and advertiser cookies so if some company were to put a cookie on my machine when I was trying my damnedest to not allow them to, well, that would make me a little miffed. The thing that gets me is all the companies doing this make me agree to a eula to use their site but when I ask them to obey the settings I've made on my machine they conveniently ignore them.
Yes, I don't see how Vernor Vinge (and countless other authors) can write about the exact thing (in Rainbows End) and it doesn't matter. First to file sucks!

It's a shame they didn't bother to mention what the coding flaw is. If I were to hazard a guess it would be that the flaw is that the test is written to make Safari look good, not Chrome. The V8 benchmark fixes this.
How can you say that Java has no vulnerabilities? They've had a number of critical security updates which you hopefully didn't miss. You might want to read up on that.net cryptographic attack. The outcomes of it were that you could edit encrypted cookies and download any file in a sites directory and as you know, only a fool would trust the client and sites are supposed to serve files so also, only a fool would put critical information in any of those files in plaintext.
Those trendy features do save time and money. Or do you get paid by the line when you code?
... and now, Firefox wins in their test! (which has yet to be disassembled to reveal how they dodge Opera and Chrome from winning, when they use to in all others, including independent tests like Peacekeeper)
I'm guessing from the number of crypto and imaging components that this is related to their recent JS math optimizations.
The only decent benchmark I've ever seen for browsers is something someone made which simply loaded local copies of sites like facebook to show how fast the browser really is at true "realistic workloads".
It always amazes me when reading Slashdot, which is so against software patents, that I see "Apple hasn't created anything" or "Apple stole everything they've ever made" statements time and time again. Can you imagine a world where we didn't use past ideas to further current ones?
To put it in a car analogy, think if the first person to build one had said to themselves, "Damn, if only I'd thought of the wheel!" Of course we'd have hover-cars so it wouldn't be so bad.
... it also gets critic from data protection specialists , for reasons such as creating a unique user ID...
So there is something to be genuinely concerned about. I'm not sure if you can turn this off or not in chrome and really, it probably doesn't matter anyway since there are other ways to track you such as this one. But that unique id makes it very easy for google and its partners to track you and hence bug you with ads.
I was going to try to write something funny about twitter only needing three tables to run and how hard is it to change but then I thought about how much money they're going to make off those three tables and I started to cry.
Saying H.264 is an utter pig is a little unfair. It choose size over time for its algorithm which the latency of the internet being what it is and can be vs processors having cycles to burn is the right decision.

As long as Han shots first and the dinosaurs don't make an appearance I'll be happy.
The thing to be noted from this is that Minecraft is an easier IDE to use than Eclipse.

Are you going to let them move to your country to find work?
Um... yes. Unfortunately it is very difficult/near impossible to make it that far.
This is the equivalent of ringing a bell at Pavlov's dogs!
