If the windows developers had slept at a holiday inn express they would have been much smarter and none of these security problems would exist.
Chairman Bill doesnt seems to sleep at the Holiday Inn, and has lost interest in developing software and is now buying 4 star hotel chains with the Saudis.
For most people, google is the internet. The average computer user equates google with their start page, and many people think web search = google search, I.E. "im going to google this myspace stalker".

This seems like one of the only reasons to consider website cloaking. After all, you can opt out of having your site indexed by Google or other search engines, you should have the right not to be snooped upon by a federal agency. If the government wants to snoop in your personal business, you have the right to defend yourself against their user agents.
The Patriot Act and other invasions of privacy such as the IRS scraping websites are indications of a severely paranoid government that is wasting taxpayer dollars on dubious projects.
If you tried to scrape any.gov site you would be visited by an army of Men In Black and you may never be heard from again.
The irony of this is the websites engaging in truly criminal activity will easily be able to cloak their websites and keep personally identifiable information from the government agent web scrapers.
What If Every Quality Site Used Nofollow? This is not a rhetorical question.
Usage of the nofollow tag is really getting out of hand. Google needs to be able to count links for pagerank to work. As more authority sites begin to implement nofollow tags, googlebot will only be left to count links on lower quality sites. This could wreak havoc on relevancy.
I would put money on googlebot using a custom/site specific interpretation on the nofollow tag. Wiki article links are generally highly relevant, and much more trustworthy than most other websites such as major online newspapers that sell links to the highest bidder.
The San Francisco Chronicle, bastion of the free press, champion of the people is selling nofollow-free links to anyone with cash. So how is google supposed to trust links from The San Francisco Chronicle and not Wikipedia?
I currently live in Los Angeles California which is arguably the least pedestrian friendly city in the US, and there is a huge number of people who are not fat (but possibly not healthy). Everyone complains about a 3 mile drive that takes 1/2 hour, but try to suggest car free transportation and you are branded an unamerican hippie.
I predict there will be an as yet unknown piece of software announced by the man in the black turtleneck. It seems Apple generally announces new hardware in the early summer and fall. Don't expect the ipod picoshizzle. By 'unknown' this excludes the iphone, itv, upgraded 'book, monitors/TV's.
a webpage that you want ranked high, what do you do? Do you make 100 geocities accounts and provide links to your main website No this would definitely not work. The reason is that 100 new geocities websites would have a value of 0 so using the PageRank algorithm you would effectively have 100 links X 0 PR.
Incoming links only have a positive impact if they have weight independent of other websites. This is why it is so crucial to have your own website in the oldest dataset possible. It takes a long time for websites created in 1995 to disappear.
"Media ethicists say that if DCI is behind the spoof, they should fess up."
If DCI http://www.dcimedia.com/ did this atrocious flash video and was forced to publicly take credit for this work, they would immediately be discredited. I have seen middleschool amateur motion graphics homeroom projects that were more sophisticated & original. Ironically, the press this receives will likely backfire on the conservative agenda. People may be lazy, but they aren't stupid. This "video" insults one's intelligence and discredits the authors.
click fraud is probably the largest challenge the major search engines face. it is widespread and impossible to detect 100% of the time. click fraud is causing my clients and thousands of other people to decrease advertising.
The company that solves click fraud will gain an order of magnitude advantage over its competitors.
