All this tracking and spying is supposed to be about is learning what we're interested in, etc. Right?
What about creating a new standard that would allow US to tell THEM what we're interested into? Instead of guessing and tracking everything, they would have direct information from the user itself. They shouldn't complain about that idea and give us our full support.
I say that blocking 3rd-party cookies is only the first step. Block 3rd-party javascript, too. Maybe that will teach idiots to stop using bloated libraries to do simple things that only requires ten lines of javascript.
Marketing is a disease, a cancer of the Web, it is a plague, and blocking software is the cure.

Have eBooks Peaked?

· Score: 1
An eBook is available in unlimited supplies, but we still have a limited population. That's what I hate about economists and other fields who compute numbers like the real world has no limits, they're completely out of their minds and disconnected from reality.
Of course growth will stop at some point. We're not living in a world with infinite resources and infinite people. Growth will be positive up to the normal point where the needs are satisfied.
What they need to look at is sales themselves. If they keep selling more or less the same amount of eBooks every month, then all is well and there's no need to panic.
Growth is the worst thing that can happen past the saturation point.*
I'm sorry, I meant the parent comment, not the author of the article. And I meant the inter-racial aspect of it, not details about it being scripted or not.
And that gave us the best ever Star Trek quote about time travel: "Time travel. Since my first day on the job as a Starfleet captain I swore I'd never let myself get caught in one of these godforsaken paradoxes - the future is the past, the past is the future, it all gives me a headache." - Captain Janeway
How can a browser change the favicon being displayed after the page is done loading? Is Google opening up the floodgates to a new plague, the animated favicons?

Popularity != Vulnerability.
Stop spreading FUD.

Every time some stupid colleagues of mine told me I was doing it wrong, I kept thinking they were close-minded idiots.
Turns out, I was right all along!
And muppets need a hand to move. Check and mate!
Typing text messages and using muppets while driving is illegal!

Sisko wasn't the star of the show. Quark and Odo were the stars.

You may have "fixed" it, but maybe the author didn't see the racial thing at all.

No, all these assholes are doing is pushing toward crazy laws such as "owning a 3D printer makes you a terrorist".
Remember we're talking about politicians and law makers, they don't care if a lathe can make a better gun, they will still outlaw 3D printers anyway.
Spammers have millions of low-wage users at their disposal, none of these proposals will ever work.
FTFY
Thank you, the title made it sound like the favicon itself was changing.
If you think the regular RealDolls are creepy, what do you think of their Boy Toy Dolls line?

That should be the marketing line for RealDolls: Expensive, but still much cheaper than a real wife!
I tried that once, I got arrested for indecency.
We ourselves named them killer whales, why the hell aren't we taking the same precautions as we would with frickin' sharks?
Russia, 30%
China, 31%
USA, 35%
I guess we'll take the last 4%, eh?
So what, the Wii U doesn't exists?
