But that increases the risk that you share information by mistake (either yours or google+) with the wrong group. That is why people (should) have different email for private and b…

Difficult. Basically Firefox XUL allows extensions to do everything that is not forbidden, while the Chrome allows only things that have an explicit API function for it.

EXACTLY my setup. Just compare how much more powerful "iMacros for Firefox" is compared to "iMacros for Chrome" (web browser macro recorder). Same for Firebug. The chrome API has s…

I get a "This webpage is not availableThe server at www.youtube.com...". That looks unprofessional. Get some free website monitoring at alertfox or pingdom. This will not solve you…

Using the visits of the "BuyNow" page as conversion goal seems like a really bad idea to me. By simply hiding the price, the could have increased this "conversion" even further.

Good for him, this will help him convince the authorities at (a) He is a "nice" guy (b) As sign of their appreciation, they might block quora at least sporadically. I don't know, b…

Nice and simple interface - but the idea itself seems to be a variation on what alertfox or pingdom are doing? Then again, competition improves lives as well ;)

That is a good point. But FWIW I personally know several "shareware" developers that told me the same story with their own products. The bottom line is always: $9.99 = bargain bin …

Yeah... I learned that the hard way, too. I can't describe how stupid I felt at that moment...

Don't forget, Win 3.1 and 95 were a HUGE commercial success.

A technology that can - by the core physics behind it - make large parts of a country uninhabitable upon failure has no future. And is crazy for a small country like Japan. Maybe i…

Good move aka burning bridges. If managed right, this will enhance the development and use of better technologies.

I wish they had a page titled "why we are better Google Analytics"

Downgrading to Skype 4.2 seems to solve it. http://blog.alertfox.com/2011/05/mysterious-skype-crash-down...

Unless they have the quick, silent updates of Chrome AND the (so far) perfect quality control of Chrome, these quick releases do more harm then good.

MS should support them with some funding.

> The fact that women prefer men who are good at socializing is, ironically, direct Darwinian selection for intelligence. Wow... you really made my day! That is the BEST statement …

How do you know? Did you ever see "him"?

As a C# developer this is great news for me. Finally, I can join the mobile crowd.

Well, complex addons like Firebug or iMacros will always be slower than addons that are essentially fancy bookmarks. I do not care about start up time - I do care about page load t…

I agree. That is why eBay is such a failure ;-)

For Google, open-source is a marketing strategy. Not more and not less.
