The diffences are major. Google's API gives access to search results or allows you to execute searches that can already be done through a browser. With G's API you can build apps like Gizoogle and Google Rank Checker. Alexa's API goes beyond allowing users to execute search queries by giving up the content within the index. This is big news for anyone interested in building their own index or accessing content for other sites.
Someone can download billions of pages for several thousand dollars then use that to build their own search engine. Another user could be to mine the web for content such as email addresses(which would be bad). Alexa's announcement is a big shift and was bound to happen. Instead of getting crumbs from Yahoo & Google, they're giving up huge chunks of juicy data.
While the terms and techincal reasons may be ok, your business is not going to get very far if you alienate your customers. This case is a good example of a pissed off customer creating a whole world of hurt for your business. I do sympathize with podkeyword because vegan.com is clueless but sh*t happens and you got to be prepared for it. Podkeyword should have helped vegan.com till a mutually agreeable relationship was made.
podcasting.com should have extended itself more to assist vegan.com's demands. A full discloser of their services or temporarily reinstating vegan.com's feed for free instead of demanding money would have done.
It's amazing how can people decide what is right and wrong in the absence of law. Now podkeyword.com will always carry around this bad press. Having the technical right to do something does not mean you should and in this case podcasting.com upset one of their customers. Their business is built on inviting people to list their podcast and here they are upsetting a customer. Not smart and nor a good way to run a business. Surely a competitor to podcasting.com can learn from this and do a better job to support their customers instead of turn them away.
One person on/. compared podcasting.com to tinyurl however that's not completely accurate. At least tinyurl.com provides a valuable service. podcasting.com has little value and offeres a service that is already readily available.

Woops, I stand corrected, eBay bought a 25 percent interest in Craigslist.org, not Wikipedia...I'm confusing my dot coms. I still doubt Wiki's ability to remain ad free forever. The people running the show will eventually cash in.
Google and Yahoo are giving away bandwish and servers for free? eBay did give money to Wikipedia as an investment and not a donation. The board is run by a bunch people that don't have millions and work regular 9-5 jobs. The partnership with answers.com may be a minor change to the Wikipedia foundation but it's a sign of things to come. There's too much money and opportunity to ignore Wikipedia's advertising potential.

It's interesting that Serenity could make so much headway into the Yahoo movie ranking after earning a paltry $10M in the box office in its opening weekend. To put that in perspective, Duece Bigalow 2 & Herbie Fully Loaded were on par with $10M the first weekend it opened. I may be pointing out the obvious here but it seems like Serenity has a higher percentage of computer literate viewers than most movies and they inflated Serenity's ratings.

Note the correction to antogonist, thanks. The point is not that characters were aliens or people. The point is their costumes, and set for that matter, are given enough attention as a cheap made for TV sci fi film. It's dissapointing. Surely this movie is not the Star Trek / Star Wars killer that so many fans said it could be.
The captain had cheesy one liners instead of believable dialog. The acting was stale, especially the anti-protagonist. Characters sacrificed substance by catering themselves to geek culture: engineering girl who likes sex, teenage girl who kicks ass with swords. The romance in the movie came at awkward times in fight scenes. Alien costumes were derived from old Star Trek or low budget sci fi films. The Reavers play a major part of the plot yet are hardly described and only mentioned in the beginning and end of the movie. In the absence of Star Wars and Star Trek movies I had hopes for Serenity but the reality is they took a cancelled low budget tv-show and made a two hour episode. To read Orson Scott say he wants Enders Game to live up to Serenety's billing is proof the man is batsh*t crazy.
I completely agree! Reading further into this issue, Miers did her job as a lawyer with good logic. The class action suit against M$ included more people than was fair. The suit was thrown out and the prosecuting lawyer dropped the case due to not wanting to define a smaller class action suit. The legal system was (surprisingly) more twisted than M$. The article says Plaintiffs wanted Microsoft to offer the updates for free, but eventually lost to Miers' arguments. Reading this on/. you would assume M$ pulled another fast one when that's not the truth. Miers did her job and she was employed by M$ to do it. This is hardly news. I enjoy bashing M$ and being biased as much as the next nerd but approving this story is reaching too much even for me.
Several dozen employees out of 61,000 people is not an epidemic. At a time where large airlines are declaring bankruptcy and were only a few years out of the recession of 2001, it does seem inaccurate to pick on Microsoft when there are so many better candidates. Any company on the front page of f*ckedcompany would be a good start and it's likely that you would find more disgruntled employees.
To put this in perspective MS has 61,000 employees. If MS has 200 disgruntled employees then that's 0.003% of their staff. At a former company we had 150 employees and it's safe to say that 10% of them were disgruntled, if not more. If you want to find a disgruntled employees, look not at Microsoft but at the DMV, Delta and Northwest airlines./devils advocate
The original authors points seems to be that money to upgrade the levies was moved to homeland security. Had that money been allocated to the levies then flood damage could be mitigated. You, the author, nor I are experts on New Orleans levies or how their tax dollars are spent so arguing this issue is pointless...

Loki Games agrees with you. Unfortunately they shut down their business that was porting games to Linux.
All irony aside, you have the right idea but Linux has a lot of room to grow before it can be a competitive platform in the gaming market.
