There's something very slippery about the article, almost like it's AstroTurf 2.0. Stay with me mods, it's at least an intelligent article.
Mozilla is at least a decent entrant into the OSS world. There's always nitpicks, but they're pretty solid. Mozilla makes a browser first.
Google is doing Search first and only lately is doing a browser. Does Google want Chrome to be the dominant browser, the same trick MS pulled last time? Maybe. I've seen my share of "FF is old and tired, go Chrome". Hard to tell if any Astroturfers are mixed in with the users there.
MS makes IE first and Bing second. If Firefox were to make themselves reliant on MS for money, MS would pull some stunt like Nokia and squash it.
So are there really no other networks other than Google and Bing? For $85 million to remake the web?
There's pages of details going on here, but my sum point is something is seriously silent here.
Oh dear gawd, listen up everyone, I'm sure I'll get weird moderations for this, but here goes.
This is the successor to Facebook if they do it right!
It combines everyone's favorite Watcher mentality with everyone's favorite 90's game!
Everyone loads themselves in, some people are "helped" etc. You can watch the entire town buzzing merrily along! Click on people! Their phone sends them a hello text! Click on stores! See what they have in stock. Click on the DMV. Check the lines.
The possibilities are both endless and endlessly terrifying! Whee!
It's Cardinal Richelieu all over again and his 6 lines to smear anyone.
Everyone has some 1.6% pages they want to keep private, so the end of the world would be 2012 with all browising histories of anyone anywhere starting with the 4000 men and women in power across the globe + 10,000 close cronies.
You appear to be a "A little-noticed pseudonymous blogger respectfully disagreeing with Cooley's self-awarded number-2 ranking, (well, perhaps not so respectfully), and have a few other choice things to say.!"
So let me get this straight, are they in fact stumbling onto the most important free speech case of the decade? Forget the S-Effect laughter part, did they accidentally attack the entire concept of rationally expressed pseudonymous dissent on the internet? So if they lose this case, are they handing the Electronic Frontier Foundation and friends the biggest anti-censorship weapon ever?
Thomas M. Cooley Law School, claiming to be the 2nd highest rated law school in the country, is accused of lying. They got pissed because *none of their own graduates* were good enough to defend them. So then they went for the swoosh by hiring graduates from... wait for it... *two other schools*... thus cementing the oppositions case that either A, they are at best Third Best in the country, or B, they purposely spent additional money hiring substandard lawyers from other schools... to defend a *law school*, both of which now by action, PROVE that Thomas M. Cooley is not the 2nd best choice on the block!
I'll recap one of my earlier points from a few days ago, and say that "Oh Really, *now* we have decided that too many/much deficits are bad? After ten years of the most expensive yet useless propaganda campaign in history?"
Also, I'm not buying the credit downgrade either. Some bankers are going to make a killing on the spreads of "new higher riskier debt", but I don't have the vocabulary to describe it. (Selling Short?)
I'll leave it to my tech betters to do the chops on things like Chinese ip addresses vs proxies vs Chinese Govt involvement. To get the kids from Lulzsec we called four countries worth of law officials and picked up the... likely... middleman.
If the Chinese Government spent *five years* attacking targets, I think we'd notice - now reporting it is something else again, and there are Onion Layers of partially correct news here, but to play the "no evidence" card is a little thin - after McAfee put themselves on the line saying it was. If that was a total lie don't you think McAfee would be pulverized for it?
I strongly believe it is possible - it just takes actual funding!
I have cynically remarked that it is a "racial fear" which prevents us from really funding the research it would take to really hit the singularity. That, and our current greed and lust for power playing wargames.
We could have had it by 2012. Taking the famous marker of 9-11, instead of the disastrous failed decade, if we had poured that Trillion into a broad research pyramid, we'd be there. 75 teams of 25 people working for 10 years - yep. Piece of cake. But no, we had more fun invading the wrong countries and groping fliers.
Looking at your brand new user name, some members would call your post a broad shill for all proprietary closed programs.
The entire point of Open Source is that it can be moved to new innovative uses. Open Source will be slightly-to-much harder to use in many cases! But that is not the point of Open Source! The point is that a valid computing experience can be made out of open components. Yes, someone will have locked down the "1-click" version of a feature with a patent. So it takes you three clicks. Three clicks is way better than spending an hour kludging it.
"In some versions of the story, Pangu is aided in this task by the four most prominent beasts, namely the Turtle, the Qilin, the Phoenix, and the Dragon."
Then the reference to Phoenix distracted me because that's the Chinese one, not the Egyptian one.
I am actually planning on doing this, though at the user's choice rather than automatic. We've seen the "I didn't read the article" / Teal Deer effect for so long, that no one page fits anymore, if it ever really did.
Instead, depending on the type of method I decide upon, there would be "easy" "medium" and "advanced" levels of the same pages, so the folks who want the sound bites can get those, and the gang who wants to discuss the limitations of null bits in C can get the other level of detail.
Actually I'll switch it up. I carefully waited for the specs to "mature" then I got an iPhone 3GS as a direct upgrade from an old Windows Mobile 6 phone. Clear improvement. But NOW I see no reason to upgrade "just to an iPhone 4".

Nope!

I'll borrrow you as an example but incomplete post.
Facebook like it or not achieved serious traction well beyond MySpace.
So to destroy them takes a SERIOUS campaign, well beyond what a 1 shot Anonymous can do,
Google+ is promising, but not the whole answer. Neither is a MS service or an Apple service.
We need one more player with BUCKS to Show them how it's done and shut these guys up.
"I would like to subscribe to your list of database watchlists!"
And so goeth the Internets, communication is SO much faster than 1975.
Far from "obvious" given our recent rash of Paid Rulings.
No, I will not wear tinfoil.
Just that for the moment it's too early for this one. Give it 2 years.

Law School - where there are two kinds of bars.
Wait, here's what I got out of the summary:
Thomas M. Cooley Law School, claiming to be the 2nd highest rated law school in the country, is accused of lying. They got pissed because *none of their own graduates* were good enough to defend them. So then they went for the swoosh by hiring graduates from ... wait for it ... *two other schools* ... thus cementing the oppositions case that either A, they are at best Third Best in the country, or B, they purposely spent additional money hiring substandard lawyers from other schools ... to defend a *law school*, both of which now by action, PROVE that Thomas M. Cooley is not the 2nd best choice on the block!
"Some of the activities they undertook contributed to the prevailing mood of the time!"
Did they entirely fail to see it coming? "Well, they're not so sure about that...".
Go Gregory Brothers!

Sorry, I resoundingly disagree.

Geeks like to be in the zone to do their work, but other people want their answers NOW.
I was gonna make a joke about your Turtles but then I had to check Wikipedia to remember the other half of your reference.
Google says Wikipedia's entry of the Pangu creation myth has Turtles in there so I went to look at that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangu
"In some versions of the story, Pangu is aided in this task by the four most prominent beasts, namely the Turtle, the Qilin, the Phoenix, and the Dragon."

My basic inspiration is the Ski Slope system.
No one has yet mentioned the "post the hoax and earn revenue then post the retraction and earn more revenue" angle.
For a long while I had a *length* modifier and a brevity penalty.
Except for a few gems, all the troll posts were really short, and all the good comments were longer than some 17 words.
Meanwhile it would be funny to put these marketing types in court and make them swear under perjury that their position is (all that truthy stuff).
Prisoner $ ruined the financial system of the entire US but he is a free man because he bought his way out.
Actually I'll switch it up. I carefully waited for the specs to "mature" then I got an iPhone 3GS as a direct upgrade from an old Windows Mobile 6 phone. Clear improvement. But NOW I see no reason to upgrade "just to an iPhone 4".
