Why would I care that it reads my email to figure out what ads to show? Isn't that actually pretty clever..?
My view is that the web should be as simple as possible. I don't use yahoo anything because I want things simple and want everyone out of my way the entire time. I despise when sites resize my browser. I hate when I click any random spot in a news article and find an ad pops up. I don't want anything other than email on my screen when I'm reading email and this is basically true with gmail since the ads are tiny and off to the side.
I also don't need to live in a folder-based world. It's not the 90's anymore. Let's try new things instead of clinging on to old methods. As we get more and more data the folder approach simply won't suffice. I imagine it won't be long until the lines between the Internet and Desktop are so blurred that to find any file you always search and there will be a checkbox to search for files you authored.
I also like using Google services because Google does what they can to ensure my privacy. Yahoo, on the other hand, is happy to sell it for a buck or to comply with anything anyone wants from them if it makes life easier or more profitable. Not really my cup o' tea, so to speak. I especially can't stand all the places yahoo tries to get me to install their toolbar. Please leave me alone, Yahoo.
Maybe we need a do-not-call list for software companies so they'll leave us alone during installs?!
Even though its a good deal, and I will get one its kind of a downer
When you say something like that, they see $$$'s. At the end of the day, Nintendo is a business. If you buy it at $250, why should they sell it for less?
The aim of Google Book Search is to help you discover books and learn where to buy or borrow them, not read them online from start to finish. It's like going to a bookstore and browsing - with a Google twist.
Well, I won't be using it... I'm looking for books to make the transition to the online world. Not have the online world tease me...

strikes at the heart and stabs it. stabs it. stabs it.
Why is this kind of thing still interesting discussion? It's moot. Has been moot. You have freedom of speech so do what you like.

Well, to be fair, Woz probably wouldn't be famous without Steve. And, as you said, the opposite is true.
Lucky guys!

I just don't understand it... Why do people care about what this guy says?

From what I've read, XGL is barely in alpha stage. Maybe I'm wrong...
Both of you need a diaper change. Stop crying!
Those things are ugly! Green?! C'mon!
I haven't seen this before... Do you have any examples?

case and point
Searching google for google and DCI works fine...
Probably just the start for them too.
I like the link! Now I can find out what the hell a key grip is!
What about Linux's strace?
You can run gnome as your desktop using some cygwin wizardry. It's still windows, but you can hide most of that.
Way better than eho...
EGAD!

It's just monkey's clanking away on the keyboard. Use it for opinions or thoughts, but not much else...
