just as people start to deploy buzz buttons on their web sites, google terminates buzz. who's to say they won't do the same with the +1 button? this is just too unpredictable and unsteady. Official Google Blog: A fall sweep
Hotmail declares war on graymail. whatever, microsoft.
never mind the fancy features, hotmail still doesn't give the option to go back to the inbox after reading and deleting a message. instead the next message is foisted on the user, whether he likes it or not.
such a basic option offered by all other providers, yet homail is unable or unwilling to provide this simple feature.

when she took over the helm at yahoo a couple of years ago, the stock jumped in after-hours. now the shares are jumping again in after-hours following her ouster.
hire and fire her a few times in a row and that should deliver the long-suffering yahoo shareholders some decent returns
for years i held the belief that dick cheney was a decent defense secretary but then went psycho when picked by bush to be his vp.
maybe he was seduced by power, or his halliburton holdings, or just got demented by his heart condition and aging.
interesting to read that an inside guy actually validates my belief.

enough stupid studies already. after the hoax calling IE users dumber than users of other browsers, we shouldn't give these studies any attention.
this new one claims that yahoo or bing produce more targeted results than google, indicated by more user clicks on bing than those using google.
yeah, whatever. not switching my search engine or browser or whatever preferences on account of some shady, ass/2 study.
many people are asking about the after-effects of the s&p downgrade of the US credit. valid concern, but one wonders about the before-effects, in terms of what happened in the markets last week.
in particular, last thurs the stock market took a sharp dive with nary a noteworthy financial or political news. it was attributed to general panic reaction to uncertainty.
is it possible that this was a actually a specific panic attributed to a certainty that bad news was coming? the s&p downgrade was announced only the next day. it sure seems like some people knew.
so google quietly dumps a bunch of their api's back in june. they include api's for products such as google translate, transliterate, video search, image search, news search and a bunch of others. people who depended on these services for their products and sites are basically left out in the cold.
while these terminations mainly affect developers, google could easily do the same for any of their products, like gmail, or calendar, or sites. services that people have come to depend on, could be abruptly cut off with no much consequence to google itself.
this doesn't exactly inspire confidence and proves that free isn't really free. there are significant risks when you put too much trust in one company, even google.
even if it weren't a hoax, this study was obviously garbage. makes you wonder how many other studies out there are rubbish, hoax or not.
