Some days/weeks ago they implemented a totally white background that fades-in when you move the mouse... I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone really comment on that yet.
What freaks me out about this is that I no longer see if I'm "signed-in" on Google or not (because I use gmail). I really, really don't like having my searches directly associated with my gmail account (having a signed-in account for searches bound to your mail account is the most evil/brilliant idea in decades! I don't understand how people can side with Google on this one!)
Even if I don't check "stay signed-in" when using Gmail I'm still signed-in in Google when I open it with a different browser in Firefox. I guess if I close all my browsers and then go back it will work (cannot test because I'm currently writing this). Is there a setting to stop this madness? I never verify that I have no gmail account opened somewhere in the background...
Even though they can probably make all the associations with my real identity and my searches without displaying explicitly that I'm logged-in... it's kindof scary. Like when the ATM machines greet you by name once you enter your card...
Next time Micheal Moore comes annoying some poor multinational CEO with his video camera, just repeal him with an iPhone playing some blockbuster flicks and call the cops!
I mean... it must absolutely be a prank! The project's website looks like a bad infomercial - the guy's application is like a student project (write a simple web-compliant server that runs CGI scripts) gone totally wild.
If you need time-critical efficiency in your web app, I suggest you make your front-end in a high-level framework to do the pretty printing and then delegate the CPU-intensive requests to some back-end server written in highly-optimized C.
The truth is web-servers are usually mostly CPU-idling, the real clog is in the I/O. There's no "vertical scaling" goal to reach here by making the code more efficient. You need to buy monster hardware.
Are they happy from using Linux or from using Gizmo5 on Linux?
Are they happy and satisfied using the current version of the software(i.e. Google still distributes and maintains it but no longer develops it), or are they dying to get new features?
Are they just overall optimistic and enthusiasts in life?
Are they mixing up in their mind the state of true happiness and that of being dumbly entertained?
And most importantly, are they genuinely happy, or is deep down in their heart some old dreams of passion & revenge getting colder and colder...
Could MS be liable in a class action lawsuit if it explicitly offered or otherwise encouraged this practice? This story could have teeth.
What makes you think that MS encourages a practice that makes prices LESS appealing using its search engine?
I'm more inclined to believe the official statement that it was a mistake (i.e. item went on sale at some point but got updated wrong in the Bing index).
Maybe the shop was truly giving an higher price but that's a totally absurd practice. I would have understood if they had given a price that with the 2% cashback was the same than without (the price appears the same to the costumer and the shop cashes more in), but 50 bucks more?! Also, change a price under 699$ to go above the psychological 700$ level?
Weird, I definitely saw that thing after taking acid once, in fact I floated though it for quite a while. It may look all pretty on your screen, but that shit put me off drugs for life, man.
Modded informative?!?

Don't bother. Didn't you know? Your comment isn't visible on slashdot.us!
For that matter, why did Google make its Asterix day today only on google.ca and google.fr and such, and not on google.com/us? Isn't that, like, one of the most popular comic of all time peut importe la nation?

Give the slide author a break. He was probably one of those kids who were forbidden **by LAW** to be taught English in school before the 4th Grade.
That's bill 101 and the separatist PQ for you.
Please mod the above down, the first part is entirely false, the rest is simply xenophobic or whatever you wanna call it.
Yes, there is a law that incites non-english immigrant people to choose a french primary school since Quebec primary language is french.
Nobody prevents anyone to learn english, and there are of course english courses in primary school.
Sorry but ... at age 3 you can show pretty much any shining things and they will laugh ...
At age 8 you can tell them a concept and they'll want to learn more ...
What kind of age-range is that?
I think the tool is not being sold to people wanting to crack into a WiFi network, rather selling to people so that they can test their WiFi network.

Man, moderators, please, vote this guy underrated. Just because he is a coward doesn't mean he's a troll.
He's not a troll, he is just missing the point.
Yeah, as a general rule stay away from the law because:
time + money + possibility of judicial error + personal attacks on image etc. > satisfaction/reward (usually)
But the Danish hacker is trying to make a statement here.

This is a potential problem for happy Linux users
Are they happy from using Linux or from using Gizmo5 on Linux?
Are they happy and satisfied using the current version of the software(i.e. Google still distributes and maintains it but no longer develops it), or are they dying to get new features?
Are they just overall optimistic and enthusiasts in life?
Are they mixing up in their mind the state of true happiness and that of being dumbly entertained?
And most importantly, are they genuinely happy, or is deep down in their heart some old dreams of passion & revenge getting colder and colder ...
do not potentially allow changes
But the hammer..!! The Hammer!!!
Few ants escape the great finger of God, they should be grateful to get off with only a few scratches!
Everyone knows ants count in base-8 (six legs + two antennas).

How can a wallpaper displaying 3 bombs help against anything?
Is it like the red ribbon, if I use this wallpaper I give money to peace soldiers or something?
And is it available in a 1680x1050 resolution?

run this software before running ClearView on it first. Imagine what this could do if it had a bug in its code!
