Lost me at "renowned".

Respectfully disagree - Compete and Alexa both depend on toolbars, and no techie in his right mind wants to install such a thing. Quantcast doesn't use a toolbar, but it's heavily …

45% might even be understating it. Android's share of the smartphone market is already around 30% in the US ( http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Android-Tops-iO... ). Tha…

We will backtrace you.

I've never (almost never) posted a link to one of my sites in an HN comment. I'd rather not have naked links in this venue. Apologies.

I had a chuckle at this. The use of "pointy-haired" was at least creative. And yeah, I believe parents have the right to spy on their kids, especially when it comes to the net. Lar…

Yeah, I completely agree. I'm sure he doesn't need my or anybody else's money or respect. But I wonder if the message he's trying to get across is the one that's actually getting a…

Paul, granted that it's sort of a part of your job to shill for Chrome, and granted that Chrome is a better browser than IE in its current state, but why all the hate for IE8 speci…
