Which is a better title: "First browser to reach 100/100" or "First publicly-released browser to reach 100/100"? I might argue for the latter.
If anything, I think this gives the WebKit team more of a spark to reach the end.
Right. But still, a wiki doesn't often follow the conventions of the rest of the Web.
Wikis - Wikipedia especially - follow a dictionary metaphor. Say I'm an everyday person coming onto Wikipedia and researching how people get information on the Web. The article might read:
People interested in technology often visit the tech news aggregator
Slashdot to find the latest stories.
Now, on the regular ol' Web, you'd assume clicking on "Slashdot" would take you to everyone's favorite news for nerds site. But if you were looking up something in a dictionary, you'd go to the dictionary entry for that word in order to find out more about it. Wikipedia simplifies this by simply linking to the term in question. External sites that have something to do with the article are often put into a 'Related Links' or 'See also' section of the term's page.
Confusing for subjects you know, I realize, but if I'm looking up the infection patterns of diseases in Africa, chances are I'll want to define a word much more likely than seeing an example.
"Created on" is the original date of registration for a domain. If Google did indeed buy the domain from the previous registrant (as it has been said that they did), they would simply transfer ownership and the "continuous" ownership of the domain would continue under the new registrant's name.
Google bought the name yesterday.
[shrug] It sounds like a Google AF joke to me, but it seems like it'd be a bad idea for Google to mock free e-mail when it would be a good idea for Google to get into that (even if it wasn't a gig worth of space). If it's a joke, then it's almost like they're saying, "Haha, free e-mail. Riiiiiiiiight."
As far as bandwidth and space are concerned, think about it... they have 4 billion web pages cached. How big's a web page? 4 KB? Not even including images, that's a lot of hard drive space. And bandwidth goes without saying.
Of course, they probably want attention. They got it. But Google gets attention for pretty much anything.
Ah, very true. OK, most likely to cause a weight problem, then.
Are you suggesting that I lead a sedentary lifestyle? What in the world gives you that idea?
Oooh, "Slate Programming Language"! Awesome, 200 more comments to read.
Then of course there are sites like MacBand, which allows people to download songs created in Apple's GarageBand program for use under various Creative Commons licenses. Metadata available in search engines, however, would be much more prolific; it doesn't require anyone to actually do anything other than put the license on their page (or metadata). Sort of reminds me of Blogchalking.
The site given links to RIAA Radar, a site that tells the relative connection between an artist and the RIAA. A better solution would be to go to that site and discover some new, independent music for yourself. That's actually what they tell people to do if you already use iTunes... they just want the caps if you don't want to bother downloading Apple's program.
If the Internet Archive is willing, I think there's a better option than Freenet or BT for the music - the Archive itself.
I propose this: instead of downloading files, why don't we round up the e-mail addresses of all the artists on MP3.com we can find, and e-mail them before the site is taken down? We ask each of them if they would be willing to upload their files to archive.com, and then work with the IA to create a way to preserve them like at the Live Music Archive.
It's such a valuable resource, and it's a shame to lose it. (BTW, my views and personal experiences on this are on my site.)
I'm not sure where you are in the state, but please don't generalize and say that the laptop program isn't working throughout the state.
I live near Bangor, Maine, and I did a college photojournalism project at my middle school to see how the laptops were working. Not only did the students seem more engaged in their learning, but they used them for almost everything: they wrote journal entries, found clipart for multimedia presentations, and then researched information for a speech. And that was all during one class. Students in social studies the next period spent time researching current headlines on msnbc.com and informed the teacher of the latest development of the war in Iraq (I visited this spring). That's right, they were telling her the latest news. What better way to engage students in education than by letting them be the teachers? Every study I've ever seen has said that two-way learning is much more effective than reading from a textbook or listening to lecture.
While some districts in the state may be less excited about the program, its important to note that the laptop program in Maine is still supported and still working. While expensive, this program introduces students to technology at a fairly early age. It's very possible that Maine students will be much more tech-savvy once they leave their middle and high schools.
There's some information at the Apple page for the project and at the MLTI site (Maine Learning Technology Initiative).
I believe there are about 34,000 laptops at a cost of $34,000,000 (that's from memory).
It's great to see that Apple is still promoting their role in the educational market - that's where I started off with Macs. Learning with them at school, especially with their first experiences with computers, can really help people decide which OS to use in the future.
Take Maine, for example, where every 7th and 8th grader gets an iBook. A lot of the concerns about that program have come regarding the teachers' and parents' concern with having to learn the new hardware and software. Glad to see Apple is giving teachers a chance to stay on the front lines of the OS.

You have dollars? Where can I get me somma those? Guess it's just another thing that I predicted I'd have 5 times more than what actually happened.

Given Apple's recent string of threats against their technology, I have to say that things are looking bad for TuneYard because of this.
- File/Edit/Controls/Visualizer/Advanced menu system
- "Source" title on playlist/library listing on left
- Expandable browsing area
- Column view of browsing
- Checkboxes on playlist
- Play icon in playlist in same position
- "Selected song" caption for album art and same positioning
- Add/shuffle/repeat/album art toggle buttons in same location
- Equalizer/visualizer/eject buttons in same location
- Play controls / now playing / search / browse in same position, only at bottom of screen
- Exact same play position marker
Nope, no similiarities here. Of course, I wonder if..."Created on" is the original date of registration for a domain. If Google did indeed buy the domain from the previous registrant (as it has been said that they did), they would simply transfer ownership and the "continuous" ownership of the domain would continue under the new registrant's name.

While we're on the subject, how in the world did McDonald's get to have "America's Favorite Fries"?

I think it's important to note that the article is excerpted from Lawrence Lessig's upcoming book, Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity . It's not entirely a stand-alone piece, though it was used instead of Lessig's monthly Wired column in the March issue.
