Microsoft spent top dollar on many anti-piracy campaigns. Most of the "user complaints" they showed in their ads suggested that the user had paid for their operating system, but they paid less than the price of Microsoft's license, they didn't get any support and they got an operating system infected with some trojan. It's common knowledge and there's tons of proof for that. Almost anyone can admit to know almost anything about almost everything, because they could have always "read about it on some reputable Internet website". I know shitloads about very very dirty stuff from the hundred thousand Slashdot comments I read in the past few years. No kidding!
(let's ignore conspiracy theories for a moment)
What? I always thought Google did that on purpose and everyone know about it! It's great to always get Google's services at the top of any search because I can easily activate any of those services using my Google account. If I search for RSS Reader, I expect to get Google's service at the top so I can activate the service by just clicking on the link and enter my password. Isn't that like... the whole purpose of Google? To easily provide people with whatever they need.
Dude, just take a look at Bon Joviright now (the content behind this link will expire soon). They gave a live concert and they distributed it freely to everyone with access to YouTube. The concert took place at 01:00 AM GMT on Oct 11th 2010. At the time of this writing, they keep re-playing it over and over. Still free... And just because of this, I am going to one of their concerts next year!
Slashdot Mirror
Oddly, there are very few "Anonymous Coward" comments in reply to such a story. Did Slashdot kick Anonymous out? Why?
Tell that to the stock market
And you should use the "preview" button more often!
Oh Boy, Julian really did it this time!
BBC is covering it.
... BBC doesn't work for me.

The Awesome Bar is just awesome! The OP is too lazy or stubborn to spend a few minutes to learn how to use it.
Posting as AC... Oh, the irony!
ifiwereasculptor: that happened to me too, once. I'm a FF4 user now... (sorry, guys!)
I see that the Boeing 737 is getting quite popular!

The best solution is to add semantic information to hyperlinks - but that's not supported yet...
There are other solutions, but people just don't care about what and how they link to: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Spamdexing
Who gives a shit? What I want to know is: Is it possible? If yes, how can we fix it?
I wonder how many characters she used.

(who modded this insightful?)
It was probably someone who thought "hmm... where's this browser's config file?"
I would like to see this graph correlated with age.
