I'd freak out if that second example from the feature-list would happen to me while I was browsing some site. "Hello I see you are having issues finding the 'free account' button?" ... "are you spying on me?" edit: ok, maybe not "freak out"

Seems quite useful. Though I was wondering; How do you measure the "relation" one has with a user? I.e. going from red to green on the meter - what are the factors? Does your service also provide, built-in, the ability for our users to give

>>Google might make money from advertising, yes. But, as far as the average person is concerned, Google means search. Yes, exactly, precisely that is what I find funny. Not in a "you average people, go read up on your google facts"

It's funny how people still refer to Google as a search-company. Where I live, up in northern europe, in pretty much every single news story where google is mentioned they still say "the search giant", "the websearch company" etc. The same

Squeryl is really awesome as far as scala-orms go. I've used it in a couple of hobby projects and currently am using it in a bigger, and hopefully revenue bringing, project (a mix consisting of scala, wicket, squeryl and mysql. So far so go

Yeah, that was what I thought too! I remember snakes having something more akin to heat vision - and thus meaning no dead prey. My facts might be outdated or just simply wrong. Better check my facts.

Well.. I do that and I also code.

What are some of those intangible aspects? Any examples?

What more specifically is meant by giving the product a "personality"? A touch of distinction, perhaps even allowing it to be opinionated. But what does that mean on a more practical/concrete level?

I pretty much agree with what you've said. Although, regarding "I ask them then that by the same logic, out of the billions of species that have existed on this planet there's gotta be more species like us doing the same things that we do?"

Regarding creativity; It'd be interesting to see what happens when one mixes Provigil (+focus, -creativity) with something that boosts creativity. Marijuana for instance (-focus, +creativity)?

That's kind of what I thought too. I have been using video calls for ages. Yes really - ages. First time using my htc TyTN/Hermes. Nowadays using my Nokia N900. It's weird your post got downvoted. Someone care to take a guess on why? I woul

Fun indeed. Unfortunately he'll probably only get offended and completely miss the part about you subtly trying to prove a point. If only we could _counter_ their "that's easy" with a similar statement of our own thrown back at them... Some

You can try saying that you committed to your past employers to keep your salary confidential, and you need to honor that.

This whole episode is probably staged and directed by Apple. Great way to call attention to an upcoming release. Oh and also to get people like me, who otherwise never would've read an iPhone spec/review, to actually read an iPhone spec/rev

Thanks a lot for your informative answer. Really. That was probably mostly what I wanted to know - if 100mbit is enough. In that case I'll use my old pentium something, ubuntulize it and stick it in the store room. Power usage is not really

Since it's tagged as "Humor", yes I'd say this is an attempt at humor. Also a good one at that too. I enjoyed it.

Your point of view is surely valid. Though what I get from posted article is the fact that url shorteners don't always shorten urls. Thus proving that the philosophy behind the service is either not "to shorten urls" or simply bugged. I

"Their story will be featured on BBC Two's Newsnight on Tuesday 12 January at 2230 GMT and in the documentary Guantanamo Reunited on BBC Radio 5 live on Thursday 14 January at 2200 BST." Hopefully this article is just some sort of trailer.

Just a side note; what's the need for using an url shortener in a non character count restricted environment? I really don't like clicking a link I don't know the real destination for. If I'm not the only one who feels like this there is, i
