I don't see why this would be necessary... It's important to remember that the company paying to put their ads up is fully capable of seeing where their business is coming from (http referer:), even down to the very search terms used to find thier site, or the contrary... The ball is in the advertisers court to research and fine-tune their site, as well as cultivate a good relationship with Google in order to generate the best results. If we look at cable television for a comaprison of ad services, you have way more information at your disposal in the online marketplace than you do anywhere else, and the let's face it, the free market has and always will be a cut-throat arena where things are not always fair. As long as paid search terms stay out of the "true" search results, then "GAME ON" as far as I'm concerned.
I'm assuming that the lawsuit posted earlier this week was what prompted this - which by the way, in my opinion is total nonsense and has a snowballs chance in hell of winning in court.
I'm suprised how little publicity JAXA gets (with the exception of Hayabusa). There are some very interesting, projects currently in progress. It's worth checking out...
I've got a novel idea, how about using it as a phone...? I know I'm kinda out there, but hey - We have the technology, and a talented bunch of developers out there in the OSS community. So what the hell, let's give it a shot...
I think the real question is wether or not they will be able to offer music from ALL labels. The way I see it, the major draw back to ITunes is the fact that any music on the SONY/BMG label is not available...
This is just one of several recent lawsuits that have been filed by major studios and distributors in an attempt to fight online piracy. Here's another such story...
What I don't understand is this: Is this sort of piracy really hurting thier business enough to go after "john doe" in pocatello Idaho for uploading a 3 year old copy of $stupidMovie? Last I checked, niether Paramount or Twentieth Century Fox were in the poor house...
They really weren't "selling out", Lenovo had the business all along, the products were just branded differently. I am an avid Thinkpad user (Linux support was and is killer). I just recieved my brand-new Thinkpad T43p in the mail from Lenovo, and I can honestly say that they have made significant improvments (quality wise) since the name change (since the T42 even). I currently own 4 thinkpads (two old x300's, a T23, and now a T43p) and I am really impressed with this particular model. I say they improved the T43 over the T42 by putting titanium composite on the bottom now along with the usual lid.
I think Lenovo would be slaying the proverbial Golden Goose if they mucked with the formula. I hate to sound like a troll, but I can't stand by and watch my favorite laptop manufacturer get bashed for something they are not guilty of...
As a general rule, I always turn off the location settings on my phone. Sprint has had this feature enabled by default for the past 3 years, and it wasn't until recently that I learned I was broadcasting my whereabouts 24x7.
This is a little off-topic, but it would be nice to see google add a "Video" section, as that is really the only useful feature of Yahoo (in my opinion).
Your post was funny, however; for those who don't know, the Mid-Atlantic region (in U.S terms) referes to Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, D.C., West Virginia, and Virginia...
This is yet another example of a schmuck CIO going schizo-paraniod for no reason. What he/she failed to realize is this: If you wanted to do something malicious, it would already be in place set to execute long before your letter of resignation hit his desk.You did the right thing...
"...either podslurping or downloading music without permission"
Seriously, Has anyone bothered to read this article? Who is this guy, and what the hell is he talking about?
This sounds alot like someone blowing their own "I'm an IT God" horn, and making a much larger issue out of this than it really is. If your really concerned about downloading music, how about blocking specific port traffic at the firewall?
Either way, this is the kind of paraniod nonsense that propagates it's way up the food chain to the "Boss" and spoils it for everyone who likes to listen to music while working.
God forbid anyone use thier Ipod to listen to music while they work...
I'm by no means a ludite, or a paraniod schizo; BUT, what's the difference between this and what most cellular phones and cellular phone companies are already capable of doing? I mean, besides going public about it.
I'm with Sprint, and for over 3 years have had to manually turn off my location beacon - you know, the one that's active by default just in case I'm in an emergency and the authorities, i.e., e-911 need to locate me.
