Something like that. Although, Wales has now turned himself into a walking, talking commercial for Google when he slams Apple's model. Perhaps that's the payment they sought.
Sure it's impressive. It's never been within our reach to build a machine with such practical capabilities. Granted, it did not *learn* the information but does that really matter so long as it still gets the answers right? I'm sure Jeff Bezos and his ChaCha brethren are looking closely at this.
The data released refers to the number of people gaining internet access by country. It has nothing to do with the languages of the content they are viewing or writing online.
Good programmers spend the vast majority of their time thinking, not typing. A better music analogy than Atwood's hunt-and-peck pianist is composers. Composers reiterate over their ideas for a period of time then write to paper only when they feel the ideas may be worth committing to.

Tastes fine, saves lives.
You didn't say which browser you are using. The article states that the facebook/twitter detects don't work in IE or Opera.
I thought the existence of Charlie Sheen proved long ago that the whole thing is just a crap shoot.

Jimmy Wales is using his stature to trumpet the evils of Apple's closedness, a message shared by Eric Schmidt, of course.

Excellent. You can't make him drink.
Thanks!
Yeah. They were all over that when the story broke. Right on top of it. Handled it great.
