Given that Google Maps helped start the AJAX craze by having the most usable maps on the Internet at the time, perhaps the thing that indicates stifling competition is the fact that it's not #1 on other search engines.
You're assuming any Google app at the top of its search term results is placed there unfairly. What evidence do you have for concluding this?
Uh, sorry, but the iPhone doesn't come out until June, and I rather suspect they'll be working with all sorts of developers to get third party apps for it.
It's not quite over yet, either. $885k was as of the 22nd, and they made $125k in that week. Their PA newspost that day stated they were on track for $1 million overall.
Pretty bloody awesome. $2112 of that is from the gaming community I'm a member of. We're pretty happy.
I'd say Google has a pretty good argument that the Chinese people aren't losing anything by having Google censored, as if Google didn't do it China'd just block the entire country from going to Google.
Yes, because having access to thousands of different record albums to fulfil requests without having to car them all around to weddings and the like is just criminal.
1) Did this error change the outcome of a race? That is the first consideration, because if it didn't then the severity of the error is vastly reduced.
Uh, no. The severity is still huge. If it happens in this voting machine, others are suspect, and with races hinging on a few hundred votes out of millions lately, an error like this is very frightening.

Um, it's called outsourcing, the US is a world leader at it, and it's hardly a socialist practice - quite the opposite, really.

My main point was that Microsoft hasn't fudged page rankings on it's own site, to mis-represent it as the most highly ranked result.
How do you know Google Maps didn't attain its #1 ranking legitimately? What other site has it stolen the #1 slot from?

Assuming they're a) in the US and b) not smart enough to cover their tracks, sure.
It's not $500/year for extra security, it's $500/year for the level of validity SSL used to offer.
Sealand costs $1 billion US.
Surely there's at least one dictator willing to take that sort of money in exchange for legal recognition.
Since when does "no public API" mean "no private API" for selected Mac OS developers?
Weighs almost twice as much, no cell phone capability, max of 2GB (and only comes with 128 MB), a little over half the claimed battery life.
I'll pass, thanks.

And they probably see human-visible light frequencies, otherwise what are they looking at??
Ultraviolet? Infrared?
The risk of something catastrophic is enormous and the article also indicates that radar sweeps were clear at that location.
Yeah, not like the US military has been investing in stealth technology lately or anything...
That, or the Target bulls-eye...

Sure, but how are they going to prove you hit it with a hammer instead of, say, had it at the bottom of your backpack and put heavy books on it?
The parent post gave Oprah Winfrey and Arnold Schwartzenegger as examples, and you're on about disabilities and mental illness being edge cases?
ID does not propose that the creator must be a diety, whereas, creationism does.
The only thing that can satisfy ID's irreducible complexity "argument" is, in fact if not name, a deity.
I'd wager the percentage of IDiots who don't believe in a deity is roughly equal to zero, too.

Even more unbelievable: they can't just set the Shuttle computers' date forward to 31 December 2006 and see what happens.
So what, you're not going to tell anyone what language it is?
And Apple is laying partial blame on the Indians for not having an immune system capable of fending off smallpox.
Only if said Indians know microbiology and could have immunised against smallpox like the rest of the world already did...
Beowulf cluster anyone?
Indeed!
Ah, so it's not a problem at all. That's why Windows Vista is fixing it.
You give the app a grace period and inform the user. It shouldn't be able to halt the shutdown permanently.
Wait... it's Microsoft's fault that Adobe makes a poor quality product that interferes with the normal Windows logoff/shut down procedure?
It's their fault the app is able to interfere with that operation.
