So I'm confused... the study is about "search quality", but I don't understand how they define that term. They were looking at search engines that changed their retention policy. They evaluated search quality before and after. That part sounds good.
It seems that they counted the number of users coming from search engine A and landing at site B before and after. Can anyone explain how that's an indicator of search quality? Perhaps they want to measure if the search engine lost or gained users?
TL/DR: If you want to close tabs to the right: shift click the rightmost tab, press ctrl-W.
Ctrl-click on a tab to "select" it, without losing your current selection.
Shift-click to select select a group of tabs.
You can drag any set of tabs out of the current browser.
If you're not in incognito mode, you should be able to press Ctrl-Shift-T to reopen the last closed tab. If you closed a window, all of the tabs come back.
Chrome should do similar for websites, where by default those things capable of causing problems are switched off. For sites that genuinely make good use of Bluetooth (and where the user is happy with this), it should be easy enough to grant permissions.

How do you think google is able to have the bowser on your phone, computer and tablet sync the open taps and pre-fetch all the entries in each instances history? Chrome definitely records every webpage you look at and sends it to google.
Okay, first point: pre-fetch is done at the browser. You're hovering over a link? Pre-fetch downloads the link and has it ready for you if you do indeed click on it. Google isn't involved.
Second point: If you turn on browser sync, then yes, your browser operations get tracked so they can be synchronized.... how else would you expect this to work? If you don't like it, turn it off.
If you think that chrome is mis-behaving, by all means download the source (www.chromium.org) and check for yourself.
I read an interesting write up on Chromebooks in education today. The article discusses tech for students... not sure if this is what you're looking for, but they really cut down on their support costs.
[Retracted] concluded the interview by stating that even though he does not consider Mr. Jobs to be a friend, he (Mr. Jobs) possesses the qualities to assume a high level political position. It was [retracted]'s opinion that honesty and integerity are not required qualities to hold such a position."
I hate to feed (or read) trolls. I think this AC is correct. Slashdot editing seems to be borked. Is there a forum/venue/thread to discuss such things?
(Mistake of the day: forgetting to turn off the "I'm a moderator, show me everything" setting as soon as my mod points expired, and before reading this article. Colossally bad timing.)
We do not share personal information with companies, organizations and individuals outside of Google unless... The "unless" includes a bunch of exceptions, which I don't see as a big deal but you may disagree. In summary,...c) with a third party affiliate for "processing", which must also agree to the privacy policy (not quite sure what that means)
c) means that you might, for example, buy something from Google, and they might have to ship it to you. When they put your name on that envelope, they are "sharing" your personally identifiable information with the postal service. This escape clause allows them to do that.
I can't remember ever reading a privacy policy that didn't have this clause in it. The clause usually says that they will only share this PII with responsible types who also have a good privacy policy... and it looks like Google uses the same language.
So a lot of small ISP's buy bandwidth from Bell. And then they re-sell that bandwidth to users like you. Up until now, those users haven't been using too much bandwidth, because the "backbone" (from Bell) used traffic shaping to reduce their throughput.
Now that Bell has stopped shaping, what do you think will happen to those ISP's? Their customers will torrent away all their bandwidth, and the ISP's will either have to add their own shaping or add caps to their plans.
End result: Bell's customers (on capped plans already) see no big benefit. ISP customers get some short-term benefit until their ISP's adjust to the new system. ISP's suffer. Bell wins.
Terry O'Reilly has a radio show on the CBC called "The Age of Persuasion", and it deals with the history of advertising. It's actually a lot more interesting than you might think, but I digress.
He's been doing commercials forever, and he swears that you can't set the volume in an ad. Here's one example.
Hope the folks at Google adapt this to their self-driving car. Seems like a no-brainer.
Come to think of it, the whole interaction would be a no-brainer. Car detects red-light runner, car avoids red-light runner.
Why not use a "cloverleaf" approach. As the train approaches the station, the rearmost car detaches and starts to decelerate. About the same time, a new car leaves the station and starts accelerating up to the train's speed, joining the train as the new lead car. Passengers for the next station need to move to the rear-most car(s).
Really? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=toxic+mold gives me wikipedia at the top, CDC information, an article from Time, and a few other interesting articles on the front page.... Sure there are some junky ones there too, but it looks like a good result set to me.

Note to author: Your link in step 2 requires an AppleID, which you said you didn't need in step 1.
I think you meant "aisle", unless there's an island somewhere filled with politicians.

Hmmm. I don't think the sensor described here would work for you, because it doesn't detect where the touches happen.

Is this any different than offering undergrads $20 to participate in a psychology experiment? What's the story here?

Both, obviously!
So you're suggesting God has bad aim?
Nope. Must be a warning shot.
