-Who would leave Google if it works? Their only hope is to integrate it into IE after the next update.
-They seem to lack highlighted cache pages so far. Most of my computer illiterate friends
-Is this cost effective for them? Google is built on farms of cheap computers running Linux. I would bet that Google's research team (linguists, comp scientists, et al) is a more expensive investment than their hardware.
-Google's speed is unmatched and Google will always work to make their's faster than competition. It's hard to do better than instant.

A lot of critics didn't expect the Gmail thing to fly, claiming they were going the way of Yahoo and other portals -- but Google surprised us with revolutionary features and a completely slick but quick interface.
A lot of people thought advertising on the Internet was dead, but AdSense revived it.
A lot of mainstream media thought tracking our usage was an invasion of our privacy -- but Google has only strengthened its capabilities and products using our data in a productive manner.
When we speculate on Google's pending product releases, we seem to always forget to take into account that there will be something totally new attached to it --- making the product near-revolutionary.
A majority of users who purchased a TV series did so after downloading a few episodes from a file-sharing network. Users became consumers after they purchased the series for shows they became hooked on, or at least liked. The most common reasons for purchase fell into the following categories:
* For better quality recordings
* For a medium they can easily watch on their TV
* To avoid lengthy downloads
* To own the complete set
* The medium became available
This will not apply with the advent of savvier customers who own a DVD burner (for ripping and creation), the spread of digital tv, and increases in bandwidth. It is feasible to download a high quality episode or two now, but full seasons at high quality are still too large -- but not so out of reach once your connection speed is quadrupled in coming years.
Well, firefox was able to grab my interest before IE. Even with the new features, I will stick with firefox because of the community that maintains it.
I totally hear that. Browsing is definitely an area where innovation is to be embraced, not quarantined and hardened. The promise of always being ahead of IE technology is enough to keep me with Mozilla.
I was just in Osaka (last week), and I noticed some smaller school children who had this small clear electronics-looking box on one of their backpacks' shoulder straps.
students at the same school tend to have the same backpacks and atire, so that would explain why I saw so few -- not totally widespread yet.
I choose not to use windows (although I'm still bound to a WinXP box with the current state of ATI's linux support and with the awesomeness of Unreal Tournament 2004) because it offers me nothing.
When I finish a shiny new WindowsXP installation, I'm left with an insecure, restless, and useless set of half-assed applications. Out of the box, its not able to protect itself from viral threats, its not the best at defragmenting itself, and it has no killer core-apps like my PowerBook would have after a new OS X installation. It reminds me of my sister and her inability to change her own diapers as an infant as well as her lack of essential life skills at that age.
Because all the good things must be purchased (or ultimately pirated) I consider it a real hassle to set up XP the 'right' way and I now use a PowerBook as my primary machine and linux for anything I don't have to interface with (file server, experimenting boxes, etc)
"...skin. Yeah that's right. I study female skin exposure and do extensive analysis using digital photographs and videos. I need a powerful computing solution to work with some of my experimental data."
I used to poke around the vault.com forums for random information, and I can firmly say that investment bankers DO in fact spend more time talking about hiding places in the office to sneak naps than about compensation and business.
I found this sticky at linuxquestions.org's forums to be most helpful in doing an easy and straightforward 2.6 compile on a slackware system.

The only issue is marketing -- may confuse some people -- not that the 10.3.9 release is played up in any way.
Is there something in 10.3.9 you desire more than Tiger?
At completion of the bake-out procedure, test images were taken through the HRI.
Sound's trippy. I'll bring the snacks.
Another browser to code compliant CSS for. IE gives me enough migraines.

That sounds like an awesome feature, what else can it do?!
But before the rotors were able to produce enough buoyant force they hit each other.
What does that mean
a renaissance in the usage of hidden goatse links.

Everyone will have been evacuated from the Windows world.
No, this is more of a formality for us Slackers.
...because they failed to account for human resources required by the team responsible for porting Clippy to an embedded device.
"...skin. Yeah that's right. I study female skin exposure and do extensive analysis using digital photographs and videos. I need a powerful computing solution to work with some of my experimental data."
...I would imagine any of the decision makers are probably using pirated copies themselves.
Who do you think the B4llm3r who created the torrent at SuprNova is?
The developers' faces.
Can you hear me now?
'No honey! Did you unfilter the MAC address?'
Yes.
'Did you enable DHCP?'
Ah, thats it! Alright, got it!
I'd pay money for an encyclopedia that didn't have an entry about goatse.
it could do without the curses, but other than that, I completely agree.
