I informally studied the habits of websurfers at my websites with Google Analytics. I found that for almost every page, the most clicked link was whatever I put at the top left.
My hypothesis was that our eyes were just drawn to any graphic at the top left, no matter what it was, and so we'd click on it.
I'd be interested to see some behavioral UI studies about this.
I have a trouble believing anyone would make an "exploratory product" unless it was dirt cheap.
In this case, with all the R&D and marketing, it seems like they just wasted a lot of money. The only takeaway here is that Microsoft isn't managed very well. And many in the industry would have been happy to tell them that for free.
The real question here isn't so much why did they get rid of it -- that's pretty obvious -- but why they released this product in the first place? Is their management really so out of touch they thought this had potential?
Certainly the loss of manufacturing has been a far greater blow to national security than anything else. If we can't build tanks, missiles, airplanes, etc. without relying on other countries, then what do we do if those countries become our enemies? Go back to bows and arrows?
That's what's bugging me here as well. Who cares how the footage was released? The important thing is WHY we have soldiers killing unarmed civilians.
The military guys seem to have a very elitist attitude about the whole thing, like us little people don't need to know how this could have happened. As though it's none of our business somehow.

...but I couldn't get past all the square pixels on the page.
I've lived in California my entire life, and this is the first I've heard of a "state rock."
Alternate-alternate hypothesis: people who clicked the back button were actually trying to click the top-left of the webpage.
Or maybe there's a bit of both going on there, the two are hardly mutually exclusive.
Glad to know I'm not the only one; it took my 30 minutes to figure out how to print in Office 2007.
(I should have just Googled it.)

Intel is already more expensive than the competition. It's not an issue of making money, it's an issue of making the MOST money.
Too bad he's not the CEO anymore.
And too bad all of Intel's products seem to be made in China these days.
Unless this method turns out to be totally bogus, in which case the result *would* be a coincidence.

If this method could tell us if it rained on your wedding day?

No, but it means PawSense will need an update.
They should have given him can opener paws so he could open his own tuna.
The image format changes the strip-tease.
BMP loads from the bottom-up. It's Sir Mix-a-lot's favorite format.
Progressive JPEG gets less blurry as it loads, simulating being drunk at a strip club.
Yes, but the porn was low-res and slow to download. So it's a double-edged sword.
VLB was awful! The form factor was simply too large. Many of today's desktops wouldn't even be able to fit even one of those monstrosities inside.
Thankfully, not that many cards used it, aside from graphics cards which were easily replaceable and quickly obsolete.
Too bad it doesn't support Google Search.

Geez, first we offshore our jobs, now our energy production. When will it end?
