I'm not sure I understand you point. If I were to decline my insurance coverage, the company would not give me a $10,000 raise. In fact I would get something on the order of an extra $40 a month.
Due to volume discounts and tax deductions, the companies are ending up paying less than employees would if they were to buy insurance on their own. Therefore, it's a win-win situation for everyone. I suppose that's why we call health insurance a "benefit".
I have traveled to Canada several times and I would say the prices are about the same and from what I heard so are the wages (or perhaps even less than in US). The taxes, on the other hand, are greater in Canada.
I have to disagree.. I think Firefox is a pretty good product already and I'm not sure of any major way it could be made "better". There may be bugs to fix and standards to support, but it's probably nothing so major that it's going to win over more users.
Incidently, I did give $20 for the NY Times campaign but forgot to buy the paper on that day. DOH.
Statistics still show IT workers earning significantly better wages.
Using my own anecdotal evidence, from the class of 2005 in my college, IT folks are earning at least 50% to 100% more than other majors. But this is NYC so things might be out of whack.
For more than a year, ominous rumors had been privately circulating among high-level Internet pundits that Google had been at work on what was darkly hinted to be the ultimate weapon: a doomsday device. Intelligence sources traced the site of the top secret Google project to the perpetually fog-shrouded wasteland below the peaks of Mountain View, California. What they were building or why it should be located in such a remote and desolate place no one could say.
That's only 16,000 per day or so. Which is a lot but really not that much. In the good old days of the dot-com bubble I used to run a small site that got 6,000 unique visits per day.. on Geocities no less.
This is the end of Web Side Story and similar analytics tools as we know it. Obviously webmasters will flock to Google's free (and probably superior) tools. Google simply takes the $400m market and redistributes the money back to publishers. Amazing.
On some seaches you perform you see a "personalized results (BETA)" message. I didn't really have a chance to determine whether the results are better, other than that it ranks the sites you visited before higher.
How about just having a "download Firefox" link on Google.com? They get, what, a billion visitors each day? All the people who really want to spread firefox are already spreading Firefox.

Matt Cutts (from Google) said it will have no effect on your page rank.
Does del.icio.us even have a business model? I wonder how much they paid for it.
I'm not sure, however, if even Google has enough computing capacity to figure out NYC's public transit.

I'm not sure I see anything wrong with the fact that my company is paying 90% of my health insurance costs.

I don't know, but probably Amazon.

Windows with adware and spyware built-in! Could it get any better?

Amazing that we don't see these in more products other than weird survivalist gear. How long is your laptop going to last during a blackout?
SCO Unix source code found in Sony Rootkit. I wish.
That is pretty strange; I wonder what they mean. For example, would running AdSense on your blog be considered commercial?

Not to mention most spyware nowadays is sophisticated enough to reinstall itself after you remove it with any of the above mentioned programs.

In South Korea, only old people attend college. oh wait ...
If it wasn't for GMail, Yahoo would have still had the crappy webmail it always offered (with 5mb web space?). This is competition at it's best.
1. Don't write down passwords.
2. Lock up sensetive information.
3. Have a wild cougar patrol the datacenter at night.
