Remmeber when viruses would just "format C:"? When you were infected, you knew it cause your HD was blank. Now the average user can't tell when they have a problem or not...
BitTorrent is a very powerful protocol. It's a shame that so many businesses automatically associate it with illegitimate filesharing. They miss out on a nearly-free way of distributing large files. Not to mention that most corporate networks block BT traffic making it impossible for employees to take advantage of legitimate torrents that are available.
Keep in mind, that Java and Firefox are doing their jobs. All this "exploit" does is ask if you want to run a program. If you press yes, it installs malware to IE...
Every time someone is trying to charge for a service on the internet, another provider will emerge and offer it for free. That free service will inevitably will be viewed more and gain credibility.
It's the same story. Nothing to see here, move along!
First it was the Smart-phone that threatened to oust the PDA but now the PDA looks to take on the TDA.
As much as it would be nice to not have to fumble with a stylus, I wouldn't say that it's threatening to push out the PDA. You're just replacing one pointing device with a much more imprecise pointing device... *looks at wide thumb*
I tend to think worse. Very few other companies can revolutionize something as vast and as powerful as the internet while continuing to offer innovative new services. Not to mention it's all free if you're not a business, and even then much of it is still free. Google has staved-off the draw of becoming evil. That's why they're so successful...
Using their own site to promote themselves. Pretty sure that's ok. They ARE offering this service to the entire world for free. What would the internet be without Google?

... but this is getting silly! Still interesting, but kinda silly.
Good old googledot.
I don't, I Google.
Makes me want to give Yahoo a try for some of their other content though. Nice job!

... that if it's from a man it's probably being given/ordered late?
Just because you don't care or didn't notice doesn't mean that it wasn't effective for others...
... but what happens when it's cloudy?

That's what drew me to Debian, that's what keeps me with Debian.
The line between exploit and users-doing-something-dumb is getting harder and harder to see.

But I actually AM colorblind, you insensitive clod!
IF you're running Java and you click 'Yes' to the security warning...
The emphasis is on blends and shading. Take one of those pictures and try it in paint... I'm pretty sure the result will be QUITE different!
I'm colorblind! That whole site is very confusing! :P
It's like the CBC, except not nearly as good...

If you really want to use your thumb, why not keep your old PDA and make one of these:n g/nds-thumb-thong.htm

good point...
Guess all I can say is that Google has earned a little bit of breathing room.
