  1. Or is it just a spin on Goldman Sachs Says No Facebook Shares For US Investors · · Score: 0

    Or is it just a spin and US "institutional" investors (you would need millions $ to participate according to what I read in the newspaper) were not willing to pay for it (AOL and myspace used to be quite popular too... ).

  2. An Ad is an Ad but No Ad is better on What If Gmail Had Been Designed by Microsoft? · · Score: 0

    I do not get the annoying right frame banner while reading an email message in live.com/hotmail. So live.com email has less Ads than Gmail. This is amazing enough and I wish Gmail was showing less adds (either targeted or not).
    Note: live.com is not my favorite email for other reasons :) but it is just better for the user about ads.

  3. Online games (ie kart) are more fun with levels :) on Why Do Games Still Have Levels? · · Score: 0

    Levels can allow to setup with similar-level of skills opponents. This is really great to ensure you have the most fun in online gaming.
      Here are two Kartrider examples:
    If you are a newbee, you only get to play with newbees (others cant join your games).
    If you are a pro, you get to play with pro-level players without newbees wasting your time and fun

  4. Re:Wow, Amazon! on Amazon Patents Bad Service For Bad Customers · · Score: 0

    When ordering from Amazon, I always go for the 8 days-slow shipping which is always free.
    It is possible that Amazon is trying to lower shipping costs, for customers not willing to wait 8 days, by bundling their orders more efficiently. Maybe, they will extend free shipping if it gives them a competitive advantage?

  5. Re:Easy solution on EA's 'Invasion of Privacy' Policy · · Score: 0

    Yes, we need more Starcraft players. No privacy issue there.

  6. Re:In a real democracy ... on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Someone said that Democracy is not perfect but nothing better had ever been found

  7. Teenagers under Chinese influence? on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    A few years ago, US software corporations complained that in China, certain businesses had the same copyright mis-understanding as these teenagers. This is indeed a valid concern, also the article does not describe how bad is the problem overall compare to everything else going on.

  8. Re:Would be nice... on Google Code Jam Registration Opens Today · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I am curious if anyone noticed a relationship between last year problems and this year Google "secondary services" from an implementation point of view? It is at least difficult to find last year problems on their site and it seems to be something to make available Easily to new players?
