I don't think that's quite true. You log into a portal and all that crap is surrounding what it is you really want to get accomplished. Google, on the other hand, is a simple and elegant interface where you only get what you ask for. If you're not looking for the weather, it's not going to clutter your screen with it. Now if only they could make my weather report accurate (it says we're having thunderstorms all day, but it's sunny and clear - typical forecast).
I would imagine they're using similar loopholes to google and their new books-online venture. I suspect something about their being nonprofit plays into their version of fair use.
Intel has a habit of showing off empty shell concepts and hoping that some manufacturer will pick it up. It's highly likely that this was the case here - no new product yet, just a plastic case that looks kinda like a Mac Mini.

and do something about the idiot parents who let their kid hang a swastika in their room and collect empty gas canisters.
There are already plenty of ASCII donkey porn exhibits out there anyway
Libraries are free - as in speach

There are a number of free spell checkers out there that are free as in beer

Z: They're updating the site to handle high traffic volumes
So they went to all the trouble of scanning 275,000 works while expecting low traffic volumes?
The software sits in a source code control system for a minimum of two years
So I guess it really is true that Windows 95 was Apple '88 =)

I guess it's a good thing it's instant messaging and not Electronic Relay Messaging
...with all the teeth in Europe that need replacing.
How the hell is that redundant? it's the second post on this topic for God's sake. Sheesh, they let anyone mod these days.
I suspect tomorrow's hack will be "how to keep your server running during a slashdot"
So what if you run out of hydrogen AND water, can you use the left over mountain dew in your cup, or what about converting urine?
I'd piss on a sparkplug if I thought it'd do any good

Of course it will be difficult coming up with cool nicknames for them, maybe "syringe" and "transfusion".
I'm sure their budget for this project has already exceeded our expectations :)
Over the past two years project participants scanned 1 million documents issued by state and country authorities.
If only someone had told them about Kinko's.
I'm impressed by your redundancy, even jealous.
the "official beverage" of the AnsariX Prize, the soft drink 7Up
Kind of gives new meaning to the 7up slogan, "Show us your can"
...is that like a feminine type of energy?
If they were smart, they'd realize this is the perfect time to counterfeit OLD $20 bills, when nobody's really concerned about them.
