Square does. It interfaces with the Tablet/Mobile through the headphones port. You are free to use the minusb/equivalent-port to charge it. And yeah I agree it is pretty sleek, my local restaurant uses it for the billing, along with a bluetooth printer. Works really well for them.
The point was I can use autosuggest when I want to in firefox. When searching for something, I do like autosuggest (hell Google will get the complete search string anyway, why I should I not like autocomplete). But for everything else I prefer not sending google my keystrokes.
That is not true. You should try their Studio XPS series. I had a 17" one, with Full HD. The screen was awesome, the over all desgin perfect. It was rock solid. I moved to a Mac recently only because I needed it for IOS development.
In fact everyone recommending a Macbook, should check this out.
It might make sense for a mixer, but life of an average laptop is 2 years (if you maintain it well, or have extended warranty (like Apple Care) 3 years). You might as well buy one for $600 now and throw it away and get one 2 years later.
I feel honored to have been considered a Google employee. Well, not really. Is there is something wrong with my point, that it sounds Fanboish or Employeeish?
May be not. But if someone wanted to do it just for the heck of it, it can be done. It may not scale very well, otherwise I dont see issues at all with it.
So far blacklisting has worked pretty well for Google. Google has used it well to punish black hat SEO techniques.
In this case though, if I dont care about my page rank, I would simply create tons of long length domain names for pennies (+icann fees). I would use few at a time and would care if Google blacklisted few at a time (I would be storing partial results, just like one of the parent mentioned, and the takeover should be seamless). It doesnt take a lot to recoop your domain name fees if your task is purely computational.
How often do you type bad urls? Anyways my ISP does not spoof DNS, or some how redirect bad urls. I use SSL for the majority of my traffic, and my ISP cannot really track which the URL I visit.
So can your routine. So when is you next improvement cycle. Cutting meat to less than two days, and so no?
That came of trollish, but my point is you can still feel guilty for not doing enough. There is a line where you can cross and say not I have a clean consience, and dont feel guilty about anything. The inevitable conclusion is, as GP put it, life isnt fair. Deal with it.
Because it very close to impossible to hire complete teams. Very often you end up only hiring employees that are not satisfied with their job (while you would more interested in ones that really enjoy their job (& do it well)). If you make an offer_that_cannot_be_refused to every member in the team, you would demorolizing you own employees, set false expectations to pretty much everyone. The whole thing ends up pretty ugly.
Anyone wanting to do this would be doing it on a dedicate website. They wont care about the domain or IP address being blacklisted from Google. And good luck with the theft of service charge, they never asked Google to index them. They did not even agree to any terms of service from Google. As I said, good luck.
Now do a search on a mobile device - there is hardly any space left for ads anywhere after you display the results, perhaps one or two...
So that's an order of magnitude reduction in ad revenue for Facebook and Google, even IF they remain sole search provider...
This would mean the top spot would pay an order or two more for the placement on mobile. One more flaw in your argument is Google is not paid per ad impression. Google is paid only if the ad is clicked. Google can collect lot more information about you on mobile than desktop, and can accurately determine which ad you are likely to click (in a less sinister way, which ad you would like). So if they work it out right, they might end up make more revenue on mobile than desktop (even considering only search, and ignoring all ad supported apps on the market)
Actually I was wrong about Yahoo Mail widget. You can use yahoo mail and facebook in iGoogle. Hell there is even a widget for slashdot in iGoogle (I bet it is not part of the 73 yahoo widgets). Similarly, I would imagine there would be widgets that your GF likes and is not part of Yahoo Portal. This is frankly not designed for a geek, this is designed for people how want everything they like in their homepage (Me and my geekly friends prefer to get detailed information when we want it, and prefer to directly visit the website. So I dont think iGoogle/Yahoo Portal is targetted at geeks).
You wouldnt need an antivirus. This is one of the cases where a walled garden provided by manufacturer/google works really well. You can only run apps tested and signed by Google/manufacturer.
I doubt they would target ads this ways, as I most likely will not even look out of the car. I would simply watch a movie, read the daily news, till I reach the destination.
Not to mention the photographer (as far as we know), did not lobby for 100 year copyright terms and did not steal (RIAA's definition of steal of course) from the public of works that should have been public domain.
Keep in mind, that within 2 weeks GOOG was 20% lower the opening. And the seemed to survive that.
Yeah keep repeating that, and it might become accepted as truth at some point. Google opening price was $100. It never went below $100 (I think the least was 99.xx). Even more interesting was that the IPO price was $85. It never came close to the IPO price. The initial investors of Google IPO were happy from the begining. Facebook on the other hand, you know.
You dont understand. Google does not really care about Android being more popular. What they do care about is whether Google gets to define what a smartphone is and can hence get Apple to offer their services on iPhones. They might make more money out of iPhones, but it is often because of Android, they get to make money of iPhones.
I already replied to the other post; iGoogle is not limited to service offered by Google, while Yahoo Portal is, and gmail's spam detection is way better. These are the reason I prefer Gmail and iGoogle, while I still occasionally use Yahoo. If these do no matter to you, you should continue to use Yahoo, if not switch to Gmail.
iGoogle is similar to Yahoo Portal, it lets you view your email (gmail only), news, weather. In additon to these, it also allows you to add widgets from other websites. I used to have a widget from my local news website, and one from my favourite sport news website. This as far as I know, cannot be done in Yahoo Portal. Google+ (Google's social network) is optional, you need not signup for it. Otherwise, I think privacy implications are the same. I agree with not rocking the boat, but if you are actively looking for a better portal and email bundle, I think its worth a look.
You and your GF should try iGoogle, and its widgets. I am willing to bet that you/she will like it better than the Yahoo portal. Yahoo sports is a good one, I dont think there is a replacement in Google, but you still can add a widget from your favourite sports website to iGoogle and be done with it.
I agree about the yahoo interface, I am pretty much torn in between Yahoo and Gmail interfaces.
Er, he did not (well he definitely does not have to) bribe his way into NZ. NZ like most other countries, has investors visa. He only had to invest 1 million USD, which is not much at all (his mansion it worth much much more). Well, he did pay taxes in NZ, and NZ govt better bear the costs of taking him to court. I would not be surprised if he paid more as taxes in NZ, than the govt ever had to spend on him. The SWAT team, and the helicopters to raid his mansion, must have cost a pretty penny I admit, but it was unnecessary, and its the NZ govt that has to blamed for this expenditure.

Lesson? Everything can be improved.

But Firefox and IE have an address bar apart from the search box. Chrome/Chromium does not have one.

Photo Gallery is just like photoshop. I wouldnt conclude anything from this EXIF data.

So Linux downloads has declined in the US? That is bad news!
You could try Yandex, it is pretty decent, and is not subject to DMCA.
