This is satire, but it's hilariously close to what happened when Bill Gates attempted to install Movie Maker. http://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/2008/06/24/full-text-an-...

I've worked extensively with sensored gloves in my job, both designing the gloves, and developing software to do cool things with them. By far the most difficult thing to do is make a compelling application that effectively utilizes the cap

You can work around to the text kerning issue by using custom web-fonts. But I agree, they definitely need to fix this issue. http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/issues/detail?id=72

The results from speedtest.net shown in that article indicate a ping time of 3ms. So Google's internet is still really really fast.

The graph they have is a poor way to represent the 'domination'. Here is a pie chart (with values eyeballed from their graph) of the various app categories: https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=p&chs=500x200&#38... Yeah, it's not re

Is there any benefit to having multiple domain names pointing to the same site? For example, I already have myname.com, is there any advantage to also having myname.me?

It was only a matter of time until they arrested someone. Putting the controversy surrounding Wikileaks aside, this arrest seems like a good thing. Setting a precedence of not punishing people for DDOS attacks would be definitely be bad. Es
