Google's ad revenue mainly comes from clicks, not impressions. I doubt they're thrilled at the potential of an impression-only system. Besides, people would scream bloody murder over the addition of yet-more ads to TV. Especially overlaid ads.
True, but more very targeted ads are going to be an additional source of revenue for Google. And keep in mind that it's hard to hear the public's cries and complaints with money coming out of your ears.
But there is a lot of viewership demographic data to gather, and no one harvests ad data better than Google. They'll be able to offer an online ad that matches one that the view didn't switch away from last night while watching TV.
Progress... slow but sure. The US Congress, Senate & White House will get around to this after I'm dead & buried. Of course, if I'm buried in Chicago I still might get a chance to use it once or twice;-)
Emotional distress? Give me a break. This is just a bunch of ambulance chasers trying to cash in on what has already been dismissed as a non-issue. Yes, the iPhone tracks the locations and strengths of cellular towers.
But, but, but if they triangulate my prior positions and then go back in time they may be able to find my exact location. Won't somebody think of the children!
That makes a lot of sense. I certainly would be willing to pay a few pennies per piece to send email to my clients (or prospects) or other important recipients. Two of my clients have had me look into providers for this type of secure service (primarily for secure attachments but also secure correspondence).
Regular exchanges with my family or other "regulars" wouldn't require this type of service so the cost would be minimal for me and negligible for any of my clients who need this type of service.
He's facing a maximum of 10 years wen he's sentenced. I wonder if he'd still have been pissed at Shionogi 10 years after they laid him off?
I'm not blaming Shionogi, but they certainly made a poor choice to use him as a consultant after he'd resigned due to a dispute with management. I'm sure when they laid him off two months later (along with other employees) it was the tipping point for whatever was brewing inside. When an IT person who has access to everything (or even one server) leaves you need to change every password ever created, verify every account, etc, etc. It's sounds like a bit of an over reaction, but you never know who will do what. The other clown not turning over passwords probably played a role in this too.
I hadn't realized that my posts were heading in that direction (except for my comments about Aaron Barr), but looking back at them they do seem a bit angry lately (and some have gone a little too far). You're correct that I haven't been getting my usual sleep. I usually get 30 - 35 hours a week but it's dropped to 20 - 25 hours recently. I wish Einstein had figured out how to squeeze more hours into a day because I could really use them right about now.
Since XP can't run IE 9, and a significant percentage of PC's are still running XP or a derivative thereof, IE 9 shouldn't be the only version of IE tested. With the number of add-ons that broke with the upgrade to Firefox 4, and the upgrade to Firefox 5, there is a significant percentage of Firefox users who are not using Firefox 4 or Firefox 5 or even Firefox 6 (which was released this week).
Testing the latest browsers is good for somethings, but the browsers they tested make up a minority of the browsers running on PC's. Even testing IE 7 & IE 8, and earlier versions of Firefox, in order to use those figures as a catalyst to upgrade to IE 9 (for those who can) or Firefox 4 or 5 or 6 would have been helpful.
Step 1: Upgrade to latest version of browser of your choice.
Step 2: THEN decide if this study gives you reason to want to switch to IE (of said latest version)
Not possible for a significant portion of Windows users, and those Firefox users who require one or more add-ons that hasn't been upgraded yet are stuck as well (and with the current rush by Mozilla to catch Chrome's major release number some add-ons could be left far behind or break on a regular basis).
I predict you didn't RTFA and are doing exactly what Parent said only trying to sound smarter about it.
I RTFA and even read the PDF before posting. I'm not bashing, dismissing or casting skepticism on MS or IE. I called for testing Firefox 3 as well, and didn't bother about earlier versions of the other browsers because they either don't have enough of a market share (Opera or Safari) or they are automatically updating to the latest version on their own (Chrome).
IMHO testing the latest browsers for HTML5 or ACID3 compatibility makes sense, but not testing the majority of browsers installed on PC's for security doesn't. It's not like older versions are hard to get, and they can be installed in a VM easily so they aren't hard to run either.
I've got a great idea. How about we let the government verify both ends of the connection for us so we are assured that no man-in-the-middle attack can take place? Surely that will alleviate any problems, right?
Slashdot Mirror
Is it w00t or woot?
Both are perfectly cromulent words.
....what RIM stock is selling for today?
* Closed at $25.76
* 52 wk low $21.60
* 52 wk high $70.54
* Market cap: $13.42B
Apple or Google could easily buy RIM with cash on hand.

'After all, 10 hours of awesome is better than 20 hours of boring.'
That could be said for every other form of entertainment (including sequels, threequels, etc), work, relationships ... you name it.
Of course the real reason for this is paid DLC, but hey, we're just doing it for our customers.

Wow, someone responding like a real person in an online dialogue? Who says we aren't still evolving.
Well, I'm sure we all have at least one good post in us, but I think I recently used mine.
fuck, we need a new meme here.
Whatever it is, you'll have to do it after you get off of my lawn!
Malicious code is the least of the problems with online voting.
It becomes almost trivial to buy/extort votes.
Or, one of these ISP's that manipulate content can screw around with the ballot that's delivered to the voter.
Why couldn't it just be the result of
?
I think that's already happened a few times with paper ballots.
Progress ... slow but sure. The US Congress, Senate & White House will get around to this after I'm dead & buried. Of course, if I'm buried in Chicago I still might get a chance to use it once or twice ;-)
Also, in South Korea, only old people use iPhones.
I'm betting this is just a way to supplement their iPhone sausage use during winter.

I guess I'll be visiting them to see where *I* should be looking on our clients' websites for these newer, praise-worthy shenanigans.

Thanks for nudging me back on track.
...and I respectfully ask: Who cares?

Prediction:
The results are favorable to Microsoft, so there will be a ton of skepticism, investigation, and outright dismissal.
They didn't test IE 7 or IE 8, both of which have a larger install base than IE 9. They also should have tested Firefox 3.
I predict this study won't represent that majority of browsers installed on people's computers.
I've got a great idea. How about we let the government verify both ends of the connection for us so we are assured that no man-in-the-middle attack can take place? Surely that will alleviate any problems, right?
... they have received an estimated $350,000 from settlements.
Don't they have to split that $350,000 with Stephens Media as part of their "agreement"?
Isn't this the sort of situation disbarment was designed to handle?
This is the type of situation that torches and pitchforks are designed to handle.
The bottom line for Righthaven is that so far it has not won a single lawsuit of 275 filed since 2010.
But how many smaller blogs, websites, etc have settled because they couldn't afford it if they fought back and didn't win?
only two of the 40 tablets out there are selling
Very true, but with sales of '0' this new tablet will be tied for 3rd or 4th on the Android Tablet Sales Charts.
It's going to be the best ever since its on a kernal. Regular android only has a kernel
GridOS - tastiest Android implementation to date!
Not any more! I unfriended you!
Well, it's your loss because according to the post below I now have a sandwich!
