If one guy can pull this kind of stuff off, imagine what would happen if he "tipped" some of his worst enemies to them. And to the terrorist prison camps they go.
Well, even if they don't care specifically about twitter, every search engine indexes twitter pages and then it means it's out in the internet. Anyone (your future boss, loved one, parents etc) googling your name will be able to find it for years.
To imply that Google is unbeatable due to their size is laughable. They are their size because they are the best. If you offer a superior product and service, people will go.
Is that why they are paying millions to Firefox and Opera to include them as default search engine? If people would go to Google because they're the best, isn't that like throwing money away?
Which really begs the question; is it better to date a gaming girl or a 'normal' girl? Considering that many gaming girl's I've seen are quite cute and hot too.
Not that I have dated any gaming girls, but it might get boring after a while if both just played games. I never usually go anywhere, but I always kind of liked it when a gf dragged me out to city or to a bar (which is great just together). And it's fun to watch while she would play, or watch me while I'm playing. That probably wouldn't be the same if its just a normal thing. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind traveling in WoW or taking a round of MW2 or L4D with a gf.
Have you ever been in a store with a girl? It's like raiding, grinding and looting all at the same time. And some innocent low leveler always get killed.
And when the correct time comes, they stab your back and run away with your epic drop.
To add to the last line, pressure companies that cannot work under the same advertising model that Google does. And personally, I rather don't see whole world filled with ads because Google destroyed the closed source companies.
Yes they happen to be in the industry of the Internet, working as a marketing agency. That is why they can afford to give away lots of things for free and to push their own agenda.
I do not think they should make their core business all open source. But saying they are pushing for open source in general is just bullshit. Their main open source contributions are mostly Chromium and Android (which on later one someone before made a good comment about its open source version usefulness without all the drivers and proprietary things).
But what they are doing is to pressure other companies to open their things, and getting peoples support with the "free! open! go go google!" words who don't see past those, aka dirty tactics. Just like Microsoft's mess with manufacturers some years ago and the following lawsuits.
That's probably where the term "code monkey" also comes from. It's sad but true. The only solution probably is to start your own company, or do things independently. However that usually requires you to create the idea too, not just following specs. But theres on good thing - on internet age it's easy to get marketers for you who promote the product for a share of income (CPA marketing).

Yeah, like they're not even going to try to visit it even once.
But imagine if you'd get to drive this thing every week. Not everyone get to do that.
Yeah, and the costs are exactly on the same level, and the launch frequency probably has nothing to do how much government gives budget.
This sounds like a good working idea.
And that, my children, is how USA rolls. Fuck yeah!
Yes, they just ask Canada to extradite the owner.
Judging from the comments, it seems his christmas tree replies to pings quite fast too

Why do I feel a little bit of evilness in CmdrTaco's 'ho-ho-ho'...

You have to remember that Fox, CNN and MSNBC is already three different news sites to remember.. give them some slack.
And to add to that, even that only with a relevant name made some players always msg and ask if I was a girl.. Kind of understood girl gamers pain.
I always was a female blood elf, to be honest :)
Gotta love the +Interesting mods.
And don't forget how many nerds in their moms basement are playing a female WoW character and think they're pretty.
Notice the past sense used to. He's just still calling her his girlfriend.

If that would be the case, and if a baby player would be born, I would rather run and go sleep next to Emeriss.

I agree, it always takes several tries to output a working file when recording from internet stream too. And even then its a little bit risky stuff.

That's why I said there would be an option for people to allow downloads or not.

To clarify, I mean developer more as a designer like guy.
