I really enjoyed it too. The problem is the nerd vocal minority who whinge and bitch about every little thing.
"OMG ITS NOT LIKE THE OLD CARTOONS THAT I WATCHED WHEN I WAS 8 BACK BEFORE INTERNETS AND BEFORE I SPENT ALL MY TIME ONLINE BITCHING ABOUT HOLLYWOOD HAS DESTROYED MY CHILDHOOD OMG"
pfft. It's a fun movie. It has cars, robots, boobs, car chase & explosions. What more could you want.
Also necessary gaps in conversation with someone in the car to concentrate on the road is to be expected expected. Where as someone on the phone wants your immediate attention.
In the beautiful down under, that's exactly what we've got. Our medical system isn't half bad here, with a mixture of private and publically funded medical health.
1. They manage to win the bidding war = one less adspace competitor and quite possibly more customers. 2. They manage to up the price by millions maybe even billions of dollars and one of their major competitors (Microsoft or Yahoo) ends up spending an inflated amount on something they would have bought even if Google didn't enter the race.
Google can't lose.
I seriously doubt they'd continue the marketing style of DoubleClick.
(I too didn't even realise doubleclick was still around *hugs adblock*)
Why not have.POL for political sites too!? So that countries could block that as well. This is basically sneaky censorship with a typical 'thinkofthechildren' twist to it. Once these people get their way and start segmenting the internet into little chunks of what they think is right and wrong is when the internet will stop being such a bastion for free speech.
Yes, but he's giving a talk to people who are striving to get a degree. So he obviously sees it as something that's relatively worthwhile. He even tried to get one himself.
I think you're putting too much stock into this "honorary degree," it of course isn't worth the paper it's written on and everyone knows that, including him.
It's just nice to get recognition, who cares who it's from.
That's all it is, recognition. If you're too high and mighty with your 'I did well in spite of having a degree Ha Ha Ha society take that!' then I think you're missing the point (and it's probably a good thing you didn't bother spending 4/5 years attaining a degree).

Get over it.
What. You didn't inhale?
Yeah because experiencing anaphylactic shock is something that always happens to me in Vegas. That's why I'm banned from all the casinos.
Why don't you try it at home?
That was totally awesome and I don't know why.
Insightful!? The mods are on crack! ..Or maybe they're viewing Slashdot through a tiny screen iPhone.
Mod parent up!
Someone should design a shopping trolley with power steering, suspension and a sports muffler!
More like look for 'Will Smith.'
'I, Robot' anyone?
I saw Bigfoot once! It made a sound that I don't care to hear twice in my life.
With Hot Grits of course!

Netcraft confirms it: Giant Prehistoric Penguins Are Dead.
Over-exaggerate much?
If it weren't for Manhunt I'd be out killing people RIGHT NOW.
So if you ban Manhunt you're supporting MURDER. of INNOCENT PEOPLE maybe even CHILDREN
WHY WON'T YOU THINK OF THE CHILDREN???

What a fabulous idea!
*holds breath*
I'm an animal! You insensitive clod!
They're just harmless black-holey-things
I guess Google are looking at it like this.
1. They manage to win the bidding war = one less adspace competitor and quite possibly more customers.
2. They manage to up the price by millions maybe even billions of dollars and one of their major competitors (Microsoft or Yahoo) ends up spending an inflated amount on something they would have bought even if Google didn't enter the race.

Maybe Google will give them something to cry about.

Stamp of approval?
It's an honorary degree, it's more like saying "we recognise you as being prominent in this field and here's the proof."
Not: "omglolwtf u didnt get a degree heres one now ur one of us!!1 lol"
Me thinks the person who boasts sexual conquests protesteth too much.
Thank God for Web4.1!
