What is this about the "ruling the internet"? All they did was merge Google Local and Google Maps, two GOOGLE services. How is that ruling the internet? Frankly, they just made Local more helpful.
A viewpoint created by those talking shit about liberals. Don't let people who called themselves "liberal" when that was a cool thing (if it ever was) give liberals a bad name.
By the way, liberal means freer with spending government money. It has nothing to do with morals. But that is just semantics. Then again, isn't this whole debate? I wonder...
Why not a secret trial? We have all heard about the military tribunals, why not do that for a corporation?

I forsee the makings of a mini-Microsoft.
Why don't companies just release a patch without telling exactly what the problem is? We see game companies do it all the time. "We have fixed an undisclosed vulnerability..." Why don't we apply that where it is more critical?
State secrets? Then how did Yahoo get to them? HOW?!?! Either Yahoo writers are hackers (possible), or those aren't really "secrets" just things that the government would like to be secrets.
Although it is mostly a lack of strength, any gamer can tell you about a faux "withdrawal". You will sit with nothing to do, and if someone suggests something to do, you write it off as boring and unappealing. Personally, all you want to do is play games, and you will eventually go play, or reinstall and play.
While it is not a biological addiction (debatable), gaming can force the gamer to do outlandish things, including the expenditure of inordinate amounts of money for the sole sake of entertainment. However, addiction is defined as "A behavior that causes the performer to continue the behavior even with obvious negative consequences that would otherwise cause the person to not perform the task in the first place." So according to that, the addiction of gaming is debateable, but from personal experience, it is.
I think at this point it will be hard to change people's mind, so long as they know about this. It is like the last election: People will take a stance and not move, and there will be precious few neutral or swing states (or people).
Update: Expansion is mentioned in the article as why we have no more breaker islands, and there is a trend of increasingly powerful storms. Sorry if the rest made no sense.
We should take a lesson from this. Expanionism can be bad. Has anyone noticed the tred of increaingly powerful storms over the last 50 years? Global warming is one possible factor. I am not saying it caused Katrina, but warmer waters may have contibuted.
Why remove it? this is going to cause some problems for older sites, and could cut down on Firefox's popularity, and that is important for a browser with less that 20% market share.
We need people to use the google toolbar, because that is one more bite out of Microsoft. Although Google works best with Microsoft, the more accessable and usable it is, the better equipped Google will be to do battle with Microsoft. It will finally be a relatively balanced (well more balanced than others) battle between Microsoft and Linux.
Read the article in PC Magazine (I think) "Why Google scares Gates".
I think that the distinction is between: someone who inadvertently screws up a system, a script kiddie, and an actual hacker who does it for a purpose.

I think you mean the US.
Point taken.
Coherence of light? Thats a LASER! We already know about these!
Oops, never mind. But couldn't this be hacked to determine where a given person is at any time? They better have tight security on this!
Didn't we used to call this wardriving?

Rupert Murdoch controls the messages of my games now? I forsee a Rupert murdoch as powerful as M$! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this but another step for Microsoft's world domination?
Sorry. I misread, and mistakenly saw that Yahoo gave the guy "state secrets". Overposting has made me sloppy :P

Is it really abnormal? Or is it just another as-yet-unheard-of natural phenomena? Or is it just another glitch in computers running Micro$oft crap?

Although, you were right about that it was "designed by right-wing groups to pretend that Bush really *was* on top, and it was the evil liberal's fault!" There is a lot of that nowadays, especially from Fox

Yes, of course. We call that the "hurricane season".
