My exact reasoning behind either commenting (mouse-over text) the aliases for the icons on my mother's desktop, or naming the aliases something like 'internet' or 'email' rather than 'Mozilla Firefox' or 'Mozilla Thunderbird'.
I'm sorry, but in thinking about the way the fable was explained, wouldn't the amount actually be 1+2^(63!) which is far more than 2^64. 2^64 wouldn't be correct either the last square would actually be only 2^63.
That is the _exact_ thought I had. Why buy something when OpenSource is what OpenSource is. I guess Google just wants to have their name on it, and credit smeared around in it. They'd have to give Mozilla credit for Mozilla's code. eh, this approach would definetly get "Opera" a severe boost in market-share.
I've always wondered how long it would take for a Google Browser to be developed/released. Although, the bigger question to me was would they make it open source?
Too bad I've already found another service for my sparse webcam use (Jabber).. If they were here with video about 6 months ago they might have had a continued user... but once Google Talk came out, Skype lost me completely.
until AMD starts to become / feel like an evil giant corp
they are THE alternative to Intel. They've already become one of those "giant corps"
I may well be totally wrong, is a bunch of hard working people that started off fighting a battle that everyone thought they would lose in 10 minutes flat. But through determination and quality products they have succeded in making something of themselves. Everyone loves the under-dog:o)
Maybe it's just me, but that is exactly how I see Google. I fully accept that I may be a minority of that view. I'd like to kick myself for not investing in stock much much earlier.
I've read through google-watch and to be honest I think they are trolling for attention from a company like google. The biggest issue is the fact that google is soaking up all this information and some of you conspiracy theorists out there are worried about all that implied power it gives them. We need to be able to trust someone, and just because they have tracking cookies that don't expire until 2038 does not mean they have ill-intentions for such information. Their research is arguably the best psycho-sociological data we can get.
Think of it this way, if it gets leaked that they are abusing their power (and it would get leaked with as many employees and exposure they have) people would drop the use of Google, and possibly internetworking, quicker than a hot iron. Where would they be able to profit from that? Secondly, we are required to pay ICANN for ALL of our domain names, why do we trust them over a service that is fairly voluntary such as google.
The playboy interview gives insight to what the top guys at Google are really intending.
When I was on-campus at Georgia Tech I was pulling upwards of 70Mbits/s from other schools. It definetely made coming home hard to do. VaTech, U[sic]GA, Purdue, UTknox, and most of the other schools were very common to get those kinds of speeds from. There were a few schools that i wouldn't get much above 8Mbits/s.. but it was still hella fast.
GaTech had an upload cap at 50Kbps upstream, but that was only to the non-I2 users.. any of the university students that pulled files from me were typically getting above that.

*panic* so my Firefox is vulnerable?
/sarcasm
I'm sure in reality it is, but IE Tab does add quite a bit of functionality for those sites that are not firefox-friendly.
No background on the article, and it's a blog... WTF are the editors doing?

eBay made a bad investment.
Now if they'd only ship their servers with *nix (making workstations as their first step in linux was not a good move).

Say what? Sorry, my browser prompted me to restart for an update.
