1) Ran Windows Server on a colo box
2) Everyone who had *nix machines could log in into this machine, and run Outlook
3) Setup a filter to *redirect* all email to an IMAP server
4) Setup local IMAP server (or share IMAP server among fellow *nix users)
5) Use any client to talk to IMAP server
This works well if there's more than one person with this situation, so you can share the Windows and IMAP resources. But that requires Windows Server, to allow multiple people to be logged in at the same time.
Apple hires a lot of workers at the lower end of the 'food chain', which skews their average salary. Workers in their factories, Apple Store employees etc. An overwhelming proportion of Google/Yahoo/MS employees are software/business folks, who on average are paid higher.
Its a case of comparing Apples and Oranges.
Sure. 'Vista' definitely sets the standard in naming operating systems. Top class non-geeky nomenclature.

This is no big deal, its just a simple proxy. The source code simply includes the code for a regular proxy you would write as a networking class assignement.
Its a wrapper on top of Google Translate, which is by no means the state-of-the-art in machine translation anyways.
Prime space wasted.
FYI: Nuance Communications has already been taken over by its closest competitor, Scansoft.
From the looks of this merger, it seems the important factor in people jumping over. I, for one, would rather move to Sunnyvale from Menlo Park, rather than Boston.
Precision and Recall aren't really used to measure search technology, they have very specific definitions and at best, you'll have an almost random approximation. Search engine quality is a very subjective judgement and the fact that google is widely-accepted is a good enough measure. Look at it as a problem of human judgement, people can decide what's best, after all didn't most people move from one or the other search engine to google? (As an aside, in precision and recall eval too, you need some form of human judgement)
In addition, quite a few features of a search engine contribute to its quality other than pure search results. The 'Did you mean' function in Google is extremely intuitive and almost trivial in application. Its so good, I almost expect to find it in any search box I use.
Bottomline, go with what suits you.
