    Google Sold It

    I think even though everyone uses IE, they still all have Google.Com as their homepage. The fact that Google marketing this on their front page I think really helped them out.

    How many times have you seen Google advertise on the front page? That amazed me. And I think IE users clicked the link and finally gave a new browser a try...

    As an IT Admin

    I think you need to have more control than that. Any network admin with a password can't hurt a network. That doesn't make you a hacker. You will be caught and pay a fine or go to jail.

    You should respect the company's privacy even if you are fired.

    Let's do IT

    "Google Lives on the Internet" so why not create the browser and make it better...

    Has anyone heard of The Secret?

    I mean this stuff is weird. Yesterday I am talking to someone about the "Kevin Bacon" theory and today I am reading about it on TechDirt.Com...

    I mean, you have to read the book or watch the movie to understand. But, it is weird.

  • On the post: Why Is Google Punishing Sites That Publish Full RSS Feeds? [UPDATED]

    Matt has the answer!

    Its the big companies that are always getting hammered on. I personally think that Google is pretty fair.

    There was another article I read that is related to this one. Basically, the idea is that there is some sort of authentication for a publisher with Google. Then Google knows that this source is the authority on that subject, and that site will get the higher ranking. I think this is a good idea too.
