  1. Adsense vs Bidvertiser on Google Updates AdSense Rules, Still Working on Radio · · Score: 1

    I prefer Bidvertiser over Adsense. Bidvertiser shows you the ads available for your site and also how much each ad is worth. This is in complete contrast to Adsense where you have no idea what is going on. I used to earn a few cents a week with adsense in my blog. With bidvertiser I have earned $0.51 in just one day!!!!!!!!!

  2. what happens to other ad networks? on Google Patents the Design of Search Results Page · · Score: 1

    Can't they give a linked list of vertical or horizontal ads or banners? What exactly has google patented?

    I feel disconnected because I work from home only when I need to sleep.

  4. Re:bullshit alert!! on Japan's Petaflop Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Some info about the chip. (Note: the article is old) http://news.com.com/Japan+designers+shoot+for+supe rcomputer+on+a+chip/2100-1008_3-5322558.html/ From the original posting: "How do experts rate the MDGrape-3? Alan Gara, chief architect for BlueGene/L at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., had this to say: "It's an unusual architecture. In BlueGene/L all chips can communicate with each other. In our largest BlueGene we have 65,000 nodes, with 130,000 processors. They didn't need to do that. [MDGrape-3 has 4,808 chips.] "They also built a processor that did only the type of calculations they need to do in astrophysics. So they built a specialized processor and a specialized network. It's a good example. It shows how cost- and power-efficient you can be if you build for a specific applications. We can learn from it. They've set a benchmark of power performance." While Horst Simon, associate laboratory director for computing sciences at Berkeley Lab and editor of the Top500 Supercomputer Sites, weighed in with this: "When we say 1 petaflop, it's just a number. It's the same as if you were to run 100 meters in less than 10 seconds. But it does mean something because it's a barrier to break through. The fact is we've reached the petaflop threshold. Others will follow. In computing, a matter of three to four years can change things."" Although specialized, this supercomputer deserves the credit.
