the link units don't lead directly to ads - they lead to a list of related ads (and obviosuly so at that) which don't become a 'click' for the publisher unless the user actually to clicks through to one of them.
Appreciate your thoughtful and concise answers - many of us surely have a deep misunderstanding in the cultural divide between continents (and within) but your answers make it pretty clear that there aren't really any differences to be alarmed about on any personal level, and that folks are pretty much just folks, wherever.
you could probably reprint that forbes articles and get the gist of this one - am I the only one whose eyes glazed over and thought 'open source explained for executives 101, take 3,000,000' at about 4 paragraphs in?
It will be interesting to see if this takes off from the google advertising angle. With tivo type profiling and now an ip address it would be a natural for them to very much want to be involved in providing the advertising to user of iptv. What is interesting is that in the their adwords system there is now user targeting by demographic, which, as far as I can tell, is based on the demographic of a site, but if the demographics of the actual tv viewer could somehow be ascertained it would pretty much turn tv advertising on its head.
Pizza and some caffeinated beverage with an occasional foray into sushi are typical geek food in the west - what is finding it's way down the typical arabic chair dwellers gullet?
Is the doj incapable of coming up with their own search strings to defeat filters? I don't really understand how the department can reject something in order to revive a law that their own highest court has blocked. I was under the understanding that the judicial branch was seperate from the executive - perhaps I missed a factoid that zipped by at the bottom of the screen on cnn....
Failing to see how ebay is specifically singled out here. It does give folks another avenue that the ebay 'buy-it-now' provides, but there isn't anything within the google framework that does the auction thing. I mean, amazon provides the flea market thing as well...
there's another technology where they actually process wood pulp and then use a contraption called a typebeaver or something to imprint dyes or inks on the product, and it is supposed to show promise, but may not be environmentally sound. i think they're calling it woodonix, or p-ink or something.
It's been interesting to see the robots from yahoo popping up in the logs with Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp China; http://misc.yahoo.com.cn/help.html) in them - i wonder if that will happen with Googlebot sightings or if we'll need to do traceroutes on them when we start seeing new ip addresses showing up from them
posting this from the 2 ghz imac bought a couple weeks ago - i haven't had hardly problem at all since getting this (except for wish more apps were universal binaries). the 'rosetta' apps actually do run faster than they did on my old 733 mhz g4, but when i found a new firefox build (beta) and replaced it and got tot a/b the difference it was really shocking - this system shines bright.
he worked in nyc's legilative office in albany. first thing i thought when i saw 27k in the city was - he needed to quit anyway and start shining shoes so he can, like, eat and pay rent...
I'd heard rumors that there was a firmware update coming out for the recent macworld that would video enable the nanos, which i was looking forward to, but alas it turned out to be just rumor. makes sense for them to do to me for the reason you just stated - it makes good business sense for folks to be able to buy videos from their store. i think the nano would do fine with the video podcasts. the video under linux on it looks pretty good, but doesn't really turn it into a video player yet. hopefully the ipodlinux.org folks will iron out the codec/compression issues and keep up the excellent development they have going!
so i wonder how google will view this - if it's pay by the click then it will definitely be a violation of google's terms to run them on the same page as an adsense ad, but if not and is just putting up relevant product that only will yield commission as currently, then maybe google will not have a problem with it. hopefully amazon will make their ads more attractive than the affiliate stuff they're doing now - it is ugly and not very effective, they seem to be more interested in the amazon logo taking up a quarter of the space than actually selling product, better off building your own ad units with their stuff..
right, but many vehicles come with the technology standard and its service is enabled only by subscription - the service vendor relies on the dealer to pitch this service or to even educate them that it is installed and available. so, mr. bad-guy may not even know that he's buying this, but if there's a cell phone installed in the car he's really 'lojacked' anyway....
I recently did work at a company that sort of competes with onstar - the field is referred to within the industry as 'telematics' apparently. Anyway, it was kind of interesting, drivers could put their cars into a theft recovery mode' where in addition to reporting gps it would also kick the cell phone on in a stealth mode where operators could hear what was going on in the car and coordinate with law enforcement. One time when I was there one of these was going on and the operator was on the phone and could hear the siren as the police approached, and was able to tell them 'no, it sounds like you're getting further away from them' when the cop car took a wrong turn or something. Pretty neat. Apparently the legal department of the place spent the majority of their time fighting off law enforcement from getting info from the service to track suspected drug dealers or whatever for agency requests.
does this surprise anyone? it's the admissability in court that's really the big deal, as well as being able to point to the use of it in ongoing investigations between agencies and oversight.
wonder if the guy bothered with a robots.txt or used the meta NOARCHIVE - not that actually preventing that was his intent. i don't mind the google cache at all, what drives me up a wall is what jeeves and other engines do with external pages by sticking them in a frame. so, if you put code in the page to force it out of frames, then engines like yahoo penalize (or drop from the index entirely) for messing with the user navigation.....
Since apple has autorized yellow dog linux to resell macs preloaded with linux on them it surprises me that they weren't given development versions to have it running already. Then again, powerpc is the yellowdog deal - although their homepage proclaims 'we have an answer' to the intel move without really elaborating on the boot situation....

So they've got innodb now, and are going after mysql, is the plan here to own it and then discard further development of it?

this is akin to the nsa approach to collecting 'chatter' - a tree of correspondence without focus on the content of the communication.

yeah, i believe that's been discussed, but there's the issue of what impact that could have on other motorists.
