I think that maybe he’s trying to imply that Android pirated others? But overall, the post is a fail.

No surprise here since Microsoft supported SOPA, too, before the online outrage.
Are you trying to say that a company shouldn’t take action when their software is being pirated.
Bu 543,378 URLs per month? Is it even legal for them to use DMCA to take down links? I thought DMCA was about the removal of content, not of links to content.
Often times its not am easy task to take down a site altogether, especially if it’s hosted in a foreign country. But a search engine is also responsible for removing links to offending content. So yes, it is legal.
Aren’t we getting into dangerous territory here?
I think that letting piracy run rampant is more dangerous.

So if the US didn’t overrule it, then Moto would have blocked MS. Now that MS has blocked Moto, does that mean that they would have both been effectively locked out of Germany?

At least this spending actually helps people. Have you tried to navigate some of the government’s older sites? It a pain even on a full computer. Plus many other countries did something like this years ago. In my opinion, it’s about time.

Technically you can use Chrome to fill out the FAFSA. However, Google releases new versions so quickly that most users are not on the version that the site was optimized for. Which honestly makes sense. If one of Google’s updates changed the way pages render and breaks compatibility with the site, it’s just going to piss people off. Furthermore, Firefox and Safari also works as well. So they aren’t forcing people to use IE.

Both actually seem pretty close to me. If you search for just “mountain lion,” they both give you Apple’s link about OS X, along with a bunch of other links about the animal.

That’s a pretty neat link. I’ve always been telling people to do blind tests, but I’ve never had a way to actually do it

I love how Bing gives you a panoramic view of the entire block. Google on the other hand makes you “walk” down the street until you find what you’re looking for.

I followed this guide for the most part, with just a couple modifications:

I was thinking about making a step-by-step guide in the forums, I might do that for the release preview if there’s enough demand.

That’s because back then they didn’t have Amazon breathing down their necks. They could passively sell and still always make budget. Today, they have to actively sell, and even then they’re not hitting their budgets anymore…

They only get a bonus if the entire store makes a certain amount of revenue for a given quarter. Otherwise, a person could sell protection plans to every single customer and still never get any reward.

Monoprice is definitely my favorite place for cables. If for some reason I absolutely have to buy an HDMI cable from Best Buy, it’s the $10 Dynex ones, not no $100 Monster cable that offers no improvement.

I hope it does. Without any competition/collaboration, America’s future in space looks dismal. And as we know from the tech industry, competition helps everyone.

For me it’s actually been the opposite. I have some software installed and it usually loads at startup, even if I don’t go to the desktop.

To me, it seems like a knockoff of Apple’s “i” naming conventions (like iPhone, iMessage, iSight, etc). Quite frankly, I dislike that kind of naming in general.

I’ve gone back to useing IE9. Prior to this, Chrome used to be my favorite. i think part of the reason why I switched back is becuase of the UI. It has the Chrome like minimalism while coming off as elegant. Chrome just strikes me as kind of cartoony. Plus, IE9’s renderer is finally good. Not only does it use HTML5 standards, but it passes everything through the graphics card to give a nice hardware-accelerated smoothness (something that no other browser has pulled off 100% yet).
That said, IE10 is definitiely my favorite. I think that Microsoft has finally gotten things right with that one, right down to the little details. But even then, I don’t hate Chrome or any other browsers. They’re all good in their own ways.

IE10 adds spell check. So it’s only a few more months wait.
