Two occasions? How did you get a second chance? I was locked out in the early days of Adsense, and as in your case, I had done nothing wrong, nor would google prove anything to me. To this day - several years later, I'm still not allowed to enter.
Everyone can vote with their dollars, but that doesn't tell the RIAA why they aren't getting the dollars.
Yes it does. If you stop buying RIAA music because you are against DRM they will blame it on pirates and make even worse DRM initiatives. Either way - we lose.
Pretty nifty demo. It looked cool. But - I'm afraid time has passed for organising stuff like that. Remember the olden days when you placed all your documents and emails in folders. Now a days you just file everything away and use a search engine (desktop search in this example) to locate the document needed.
I wonder what they have to offer. It's dead slow - try for your self and if you manage to get an actual search through, it will prompt with a javascript error.
Oh - they do have one thing that reminds me of google - the small "Beta" in their logo:)
A while back there was this airplane show. One of the planes had to fly close to the ground in a sweeping motion. The computer thought it was about to land, and started the landing procedure. For a couple of minutes, the pilot where fighting the computer. The ending was tragic, because the plane did land - in a forrest - and burst into flames.
Ok, so from what I can read all they want is a list of search words - nothing that can track back to any users. Well - I say give it to them. After all, the purpose seems allright "By showing the wide variety of Web sites that people find through search engines, the government hopes to prove Internet filters are not strong enough to prevent children from viewing pornography and other inappropriate material online.". They're right. Internet filters sucks, and if they can throw a court verdict after them, then maybe this will help end the censorship and convince the government that filters are a dead end.
This is not a new function that will act as a big network based hard drive. This is simply the index that google desktop search uses that is being shared.
I used to think this would be the future, but my views on that has changed. Lately, it's been very obvious that any script-kiddie with control of a sufficient amount of compromised machines (zombies) can ddos any webserver, almost regardless of the capacity of the datacenter.
We have the same law proposed here. It stranded due to the politicians lack of technical knowledge. They think that the To: From: and CC: field actually tells you who sent the email and to whom. It's extremely difficult to tell a non-tech savvy person that these header fields are purely cosmetic.
Someone should have told them that 24 is not a reality show.
Jack Bauer : Chloe, I'm sending you a picture. Can you datamine for him? Chloe O'Brian: Sure. send it to my screen. Computer: Blip...blip...blip. Chloe O'Brian: Jack - it's the well known terrorist named...
Lego is not going strong. As a matter of fact they're going through their worst crisis ever. Recently, they sold off their theme park "Lego Land" to a capital fund. Their problems are mainly decreasing sales due to illegal copies manufactured in Asia, but also similar toys manufactured in Asia. So, Lego faces a challenge. The danish factories are very effective and produce high quality, but the pay is many times higher than if they outsource. Yet, they core of Lego is their headquarters in Billund, Denmark. If they move everything to the east, would it still be Lego? One of the owners og Lego, the millionaire Kirk, has personally piped funds from him to Lego in an effort to ressurect the company. It seems like it's working, but Lego will probably end up with a loss in this fiscal year as it has the last 5 years.
I hope this doesn't get too popular. I remember last year when I placed adsense on my site. After a while I got banned from adsense, and "due to security issues" I couldn't get an explanation. I can live with that - it wasn't important. But say all the "good stuff" was on GoogleNet, and you, for some reason or another, got booted off there. It would be like getting your internet connection cut, and not being able to re join. Scary thought, eh?
Since this is kindda old news, there's already several stories in various news media. It ranges from wild guesses to (a few) facts. Quite interesting read.

I wonder how they got that idea. I've never heard of it before.

Hope you don't work at google, solomanj :)
Maybe it's an anagram? There are several names hidden in there - like "Joan Loms"

Or maybe I'm missing something?
That's odd - I just signed in, and it said "This page is locked by another user". Now where did I put my tinfoil hat...
I blame Batman for dumping his anti-shark-spray into the ocean.

Notice the striking resemblance between Early Mickey Mouse and Oswald the lucky Rabbit

I hope it will be an international service. Google has absolutely no competition in my country, and I welcome an alternative.

"Hi honey. As you no doubt has noticed, there's nothing remarkable about me, but hey - you should check out my IP!"
Uhm... I just tried this. It doesn't work - you can't register username if user.name is taken, nor can you register user.name if username is taken.
I wonder how many of these sites they could get for $14 million

"Living, self reparing abilities in artificial systems" by 2025, and only a 20% chance of this never happening.
I, for one, welcome our new super robot... ah - never mind
