Compare this to the policy at the large financial institution where I work. Internet proxy in place, all emails retained (forever from what I can tell), and all IMs logged and Meebo (or other IM sites) and Gmail (and other personal email sites) blocked. It appears to be the difference Sorbanes Oxley makes...
I guess without this sort of thing affecting your business and the possibility or likelihood of withstanding lawsuits, emails would be destroyed much quicker (in the time frame the AC mentioned). Unless I'm missing something...
Interesting that old MS emails have arisen from the dead (so to speak) from 1997 and so on between BillG and other product heads, so obviously they must save their mail. Not sure why they have to or have for that matter...
Agreed. So, with mouse used related stuff, what mouse was used (same across the board)? I like OS X and all, but as far as time required to do OS X right-click context menu stuff vs. Windows XP, I'd say Windows XP hands down is faster. Plus, desktop operations...are they done via the keyboard or mouse, and what operations are used? And these submenus...that's rather silly. I'm not sure of which app could have submenus and menus could span all three OSes and be comparable in graphics requirements. The "Vista-capable" versions of menus have more graphics/eye candy and thus would take longer...so it's hard to say what they were doing there too.
I gather that Vista is slow, perhaps unbearably? And user efficiency has more to do with all the crazy popups that warn you every time you do a normal activity, and shifting of expected paradigms that cause confusion, and other UI inconsistencies or problems.
CBS has streamed large segments of their programs (like Late Late show and Comedy Central) on their own websites, and with a Real Player plugin on the Mac or PC, I can watch a large segment of Craig Fergeson or others on CBS. So, they don't want to have distribution through Youtube but rather have people go to their website. But maybe it's also the fact that others have been posting their clips with Gawker ads and they're not sure YouTube will long-term be in their best interest.
It's easy for them to say in the UK at the Register? They obviously don't understand the angst of those who could lose their 6-figure jobs astroturfing. The irony could be that influential Senators have people supporting them...who supported this campaign in order to help lobby for the Senators who nixed the provision...
Why, this happens in Hollywood all the time. We all know how much all these celeb girls are really friends, when they're not back-stabbing each other in order to grab the tabloids and ad dollars. In the real world, people use various masks to pretend they are more secure than they really are. Calling their bluff could be very emotionally destabilizing to a good number of people.
People choose political candidates nowadays based on their physical appearance. It's disturbing, but nevertheless commmon.
Chief artist head honcho summed it up: "We set out to start from scratch and to top Dapper, while Dapper was arguably very close to what Mark had in mind."
Hmm...sort of reminds me of the Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest. Need the Slashdot "Shade of Green" and Coliseo font. Basically it has to be very similar to the old one, but better. Sometimes it fades into the background once the hubbub dies down...as people realize that visual continuity and product branding do count for something...
that MPAA CEO Glickman was a former Democrat congressman originally thrown out by the Republicans in 1994. Behold the irony of the Republican haters on/. meeting the MPAA-supporting Democratic in new leadership in the House. You can't win, can ya?
Sometimes a few Reagan quotes seem appropriate:
* The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'
* The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away.
* The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

I must say I definitely agree that this is a good use of a forum like YouTube. Whether it's the Wolf Blitzer vs. Lynne Cheney interview, Kerry's gaffe, Bush/Cheney interviews with various TV personalities, or the very racially insensitive comments made by Mr. Allen, I like the fact that Drudge or some web article can link me to the clip that's the news of the day rather than watching TV or listening to radio which is 70% entertainment and 30% useless facts/opinions and the rest (marginal) news anyway.
the bomb was bought on eBay, but due to a PayPal phishing expedition, the seller was scammed out of any profits. So, he took matters (and a little dynamite) into his own hands. Apparently, a note was also found on the scene: "Paypal me $3000 + send fees to gCheckoutRocks@gmail.com ASAP or eBay HQ will be next."
Warning: Your hard drive contains Vista! Would you like to:
a) Reinstall? {Say goodbye to your weekend and 1 GB of recent patches and updates}
b) Ignore {obviously does nothing}
c) Send a report to Microsoft {does nothing}
d) Cancel {does nothing}
e) Go wild! Try a Tiger or Leopard! {Recommended}
This is something I've really wanted to look into. However, I'd be curious if someone could get a sort of benchmark comparison of VS.NET 2003 development environment in a)Boot Camp b)Crossover Mac or c) Parallels
What is the trade-off on speed/functionality with virtualization/WINE-based?
Yes, it would be a brilliant strategy to STOP shipping iPods, start outsourcing that work to the far more successful Dell DJ line, and improve their iTunes offerings. Furthermore, they should really STOP shipping those MacBooks and Macbook Pros because the PC World best-in-class reputation on hardware is rubbish anyway and Dell makes far superior hardware. "New wine in old bottles", eh?
However, it is germane to mention that his focus is not on calorie burning and related stuff but rather the eye (and some sleep studies)...and so his ideas should be taken with a grain of salt nonetheless.
Perhaps, we should compare commonroom.com with facebook.com, and you will see why ThinkComp has a major chip on his shoulder... However, that said, his advice is quite sound. Take your freakin' $100 per use and move on.
That is, unless the guy runs the site because he likes the responsibility, level of power, prestige, or just the satisfaction of working with a job well done and is not really motivated by the money. In which case, what is a good way to buy him out of those other priorities? Perhaps it's roughly 1.5 billion dollars (which is what it took to add some goo to youtube) for the kind-harded founder to become money-grubbing capitalist. Because we know that is probably the difference between being on the Forbes 400 next year or not...;)
These hordes of eyeballs are becoming increasingly restless online, so don't expect the hordes to stay put 2+ years at most of your online properties/palaces. Unless if you're Google, whereby you've had people who have come back home (google.com) for 3-5 years now and where your form of subtle advertising of other services seems to be doing it...
OK, so I'm basically your age (finished a year ago from college). It would be a no-brainer to me to choose Google over Microsoft given the choice. I used to be a Student Ambassador to Microsoft and I became the dispenser of Microsoft gifts and paraphernalia at my college. It was good for my resume and helped me get a job, but the way I was treated (or not treated) by Microsoft totally turned me off to working there or even trying to apply for that matter. They outsourced all interaction between students and MSFT in the Student Ambassador program to a temp agency with considerable churn and lack of structure. And they never encouraged us to apply to Microsoft either or treated us like we were really all that important, but rather exhorted us not to sell our giveaway software on eBay. Instead we had to promote some Imagine Cup contest they ran which got more and more complex/convoluted (maybe run by the people who helped design Vista). And now, they dumped our Tech School entirely because apparently they'd rather hire from gen-ed and/or we're too small for them to care anyway. We also had an alumni from the school who was working at Microsoft give us a presentation for the senior class, and we got a real sense that he works very long hours and it's really not all that interesting, even if technically challenging. Yeah, working on the new Age of Empires or XBOX game is probably interesting within MS, but little else is...
I have a pretty good friend working at Google, and I queried her about how it was there. She wrote up a little piece on her blog on the differences between Google and Microsoft and why she chose Google. She loves it there working on Google Talk, and the 80/20 rule is strictly enforced. She has also experienced that it is not a grueling work schedule, but in fact a joy to do your work there and the 20% is a nice thing to look forward to in a given week as well.
I'm now at a financial company in NYC doing.NET programming which is cool. Furthermore, I'm completely sacrilegious/traitorous from Microsoft's point of view as I've recently bought (and sold recently) AAPL stock, purchased a Macbook laptop, and have registered and plan to attend a Java SIG at Google campus in NYC. I've stopped attending the Microsoft.NET events because I'm sick of the "Rah-Rah" mentality and low level of techie goodness at the.NET user group events in NYC. Oh, and I recommend to people to short MSFT right about now...as I believe they are going the way of the dodo bird in the next 10-15 yrs (or perhaps much sooner).
Well, flagging a video is very easy in Youtube no matter what the content. Mark as inappropriate (and tell your friends to do the same), and it will likely soon after be flagged for 18+ audiences. Perhaps if it is politically extreme (or pornographic, etc.) for the few who end up moderating the videos, then they will be removed.
There's no way YouTube or Google could track that many videos as thousands are probably marked inappropriate each day. Even some of the most popular Google Videos (top 20) shoot to the top despite bordering on pornography (or perhaps because they are), before someone removes it from the listing (except for those who opt to turn off SafeSearch presumably).
Youtube has turned into a dumping ground for everything, and the extreme or titillating have a tendency to filter their way to the top of the list...

Perhaps it would be helpful to include an answer to the paper by Mearsheimer and Walt to provide some balance. They take a very strong (and rather conspiratorial approach) and thus perhaps those who read it should see a published response also posted on Harvard's site: http://www.ksg.harvard.edu/research/working_papers /dershowitzreply.pdf

I say this as a Republican, which was incidentally was the party that had a higher percentage of votes in favor of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I'd be happy to kick out Mr. Allen and take the loss rather than allow this BS from a GOP senator.
