Read Tipping Point and Outliers. I've found Blink to be the weakest of the three, and I think that if you liked Blink you'll certainly like the others.
Wow. When I went through the Google result, I could see the clear post at the bottom of the page, but when I went directly through your link it was not available.
I guess the real question is how anyone ends up on that site OTHER than through a google search.
FWIW, I was in the "scroll all the way down" camp.
Can I just say that I thought of all people, the President would have better access to spy satellites and maps, and would be the least likely candidate to need to use Google Maps? I mean, are they plotting out wars with Google Earth?
30% of Facebook users are 35 or older? I thought that it was invented for college students. I mean, the extensions to high school students makes the population younger, and my impression of the corporate networks has been something targeted at recent alums. Something smells fishy here - I think that social networking and its related revenues (advertising) remains the domain of the young, with too much time on their hands.
Franklin would agree with you? Does that imply that he would read/.?
I can just picture him now, sitting down in some poor mother's basement, adjusting his spectacles and reading the next dupe.
This service looks exactly like Microsoft's Exchange server that comes with Outlook and is part of the office suite, except the server hosting, and content storage is done on MS's servers, and thus come free to the user - aren't they considering market cannibalization of their office suite? I know my school http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/ might not have the same incentive to purchase Exchange if Hotmail offered the same service for free.
Not that I know of officially, but a couple kids in my government class tried to apply this when we were assigned a federal policy development project. They used "pet rocks" and "dog clothing" as examples of frivilous patents, and when I asked them about software patents they just scratched their heads.
Perhaps we can start to build up some steam for a class action suit...
If your phone service goes out for any reason, you can contact the Public Utility Commission and they will be on the phone company's ass right away.
If your phone service goes out, how can you contact the Public Utility Commission in a manner which would bring about results "right away"?
In all honesty though, don't you imagine that phone companies had large periods of outage in the early years? Like all advancement, the downtime of VoIP will become insignificant as infrastructure develops.
I was sitting in English class one day, and working on a paper - a friend was editing, and I was looking to make a copy of the paper. Having no disks and a finnicky network, we decided to run text-to-speech on my machine and speech-to-text on hers. Needless to say, my paper on the Medicare Reform Bill of last year became garbage. - Evidence of a lossless transfer!

boys and _gifts_? only to/. readers:-)
I've had these problems with the Windows firewall ever since I activated on the advice of a newspaper column several years ago (to stop random pop-ups). Finally I get a little attention in the help files at Microsoft, but I always find simply disabling the firewall for the few minutes I needed that specific service to be easiest and most effective, praying that my McAfee firewall covered the rest...
But this brings up another issue: it appears to me that very few aspects of this SP are original: a window to organize security functions that all already existed, a pop-up blocker: something that was easily available with most ISPs or Google Toolbar, and a firewall (that already existed) turned on by default. How much of this 250mb update is actually original, and why did it cause such a delay?

Indeed, Outliers has much more empirical or statistical evidence than the others. Quite satisfying to those of us who felt Blink was too anecdotal.

My uncle still does this (in Mexico, though).
Damnit. I downloaded it from MSDNAA. I already feel ripped off.

So will each of the 3 billion locations be applying for its own liquor license?

I imagine the jump from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 must have been quite a leap for you!
