  1. Re:Google is more than a search engine... on What's Next For Google? · · Score: 1

    But those pages have to be ranked via Pagerank before they can show up on the search engine. This means reanalyzing the entire link graph. They could cheat it a bit by making a blog-only search engine and thus blog-only link graph. But that's what we have Technorati for.

    Tell me, how is Gmail innovative? Sure, it has a gigabyte of space, but that's not really innovative. Moreover, Froogle isn't innovative. There was sites doing that long before Google. The main search engine hasn't been updated in awhile -- or at least it doesn't show since the results have been degrading -- and, if it has, it certainly wasn't innovative. Nor was the image search engine.

    Sorry I don't buy into all the Google hype and see it for what it really is.

    You know how old that stuff is? Very old. Moreover, it's not innovation! It was done to death before Google had it.

    Google has a lot of computing power but not enough to rebuild the link graph daily for 8 billion pages.

    I'm going to disagree. I think Google's web search engine has degraded as time has moved on. It seems I'm having to adventure further into the pages of results to get what I really want.

    There hasn't been any innovation at Google in a long time.

    But there's a patch for the uptime limit. It usually comes in the form of 8oz. cans.

    Human 1.0 has no known security issues. Isn't always too stable, however. And, like always, it can depend on the administrator.

    Echelon system, wiretaps, mail tampering. He deals in the black arts. And then, when the new year rolls around, he sells his list to spammers and the US government. That's how he manages to pay for everything.

    No, no, no. Windows computers are purely used as portal into peoples homes. This has been going on since the 90s. That's why all us UNIX and Apple users don't get any presents. At least, that's what my parents told me.

  12. Kids, some bad news... on Ho, Ho, Ho · · Score: 5, Funny

    Santa has been outsourced. We had to do it. For the price of one Santa we got 3 guys from India. The elves have been outsourced, too, from China. Which is actually a good thing. Now we'll all get electronics.

  17. One word searches? on 2004 Year-End Google Zeitgeist · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do people actually use one word searches? Or are these just the most popular searched words? Or does Google aggergate all the different searches into categories? (e.g. "brittney spears CD" and "brittney spears lipsync" ends up as "brittney spears")
