hmmm... where is this info going to?? another Goog mousetrap?

um, im sure that Google had no idea about Wikipedia's plans and let their spider autocrawl the domain without manually overwriting its settings.

I would rather find it in Google's best interest to keep Wiki pages high up in results, btw.

Further, Google spider can "apply" CSS and "see" which elements of the page cover other content with divs.

Zuck is a true tulip-man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania ). The problem is that other than huge companies like Coca-Cola or Apple, average Joe with his small business and 3 employees cannot get a decent ROI from his facebook advertise. The reason why I compare FB ride to tulip mania is that I have every single non-tech friend that co/owns business being extremely excited of advertising on facebook platform. "wow!" - they say "imagine if I only get 10% of bussines out of 10% of clicks out of 500 million users, wow!". but you wont! the same logic is behind opening a shoe factory. well, there is 6 billion people and most buy shoes so getting even 1% of that market makes you millionaire. it doesnt work like that. After week or two testing, they come back with miserable click-through result and totally disappointed. Until another friend learn the same mistake on his own. And I think we are in this finite loop of people finding out on their own that for average Joe Facebook won't work as an ad place. But before everyone will find out, there will be hundreds of dollars per business owner per day thrown into this machine. Good luck.

well, the founding fathers were called terrorist too -- both by English establishment when singing DOI on 7/4, and even recently by FEMA trainers.

I think its good to see them being angry. It shows we getting somewhere while they can't get anywhere other than bitch about the whole thing.

that is exactly what I am experiencing. MY boss on numerous occassions told me he knows he is emotional but "so its life, so deal with it".

one thing I truly learnt from a situations like this is always expect the worse. for example: my boss yelled at me that a project is not finished. so I told him OK i will work this weekend to finish it. then next day he replied: spend weekend with family you work so hard. so I did. oh naive me. Monday comes and I am being yelled at that project is not completed. But you told me to spend time with family. - well, you should weight whats more important my advice to spend time with family or complete project that would make me and managment happy.

I will quit eventually, but the job is extremly well paid (makes me feel like a bitch I know), and there is no way I can get something similar for this salary (average for my work is 60% less). Thats probably a trick when someone offers you way more money than your job is reasonably worth.

its nice when boss give you one project too many. nice, especially when you in my shoes:

- boss does not know how to manage my time. one day he doesnt give any projects then he yells nothing was done then he gives out hundreds of long projects and expect to be done right away. - boss tells you friday morning that there is this huge project we need to finish by tuesday so no weekend (on paper i work in office mon-fri) and no holiday. then leaves to see one of his girlfriends in the middle of the day comes back 3 hours later - boss tells you that people work 20% more time than you and in next 5 days if that would be any other company you would work 100 hours (and he is being serious) - boss has his bonus structured accordingly to his hours he put into work. he constantly brags that he works until 1am and you leave at 8pm, despite that your working hours are 8-5 (when you reply you have family thats is wife and kids, he replies, well maybe you have a point i dont have a family, but when he says that he is proud of it). - you leave for a lunch break for 30 minutes and your boss tells you not a good idea - "look at me, I never eat during the day, so why would you?"

and so on. so you, I would loove to have one more extra project to do, wrap it up over the weekend within couple hours and go home to kids and wife.

Facebook didnt grow much (functionality-wise) other than in number of members. Other than that, most features are exactly the same as in 2007. No wonder; an average programmer could write Facebook core functionality in a matter of few days; the major issue/challange at Facebook is scalling, not programming. Show me other piece of software that is concurrently accessed by hundred million users.

this is New York City. how about negotiating terms down to one year or 6 months? is that something you think is worth mentioning to mgmnt?

its pretty straightforward written: for any reason on any side.

I dont buy it.

in the good ole days even before Standard Oil, fierce competition and W-2 (and IRS/SS in that matter), the reason behind owning any business was not to get rich or satisfy the board with higher dividend, but to give people job and ability to keep their families respected.

to me its a simple math: Apple produce stuff in China saving 40% of production costs, then sells its goods in America putting 40% profit margin on it. I smell greed, regardless if people accept to be ripped of or not.

this will all change very soon. I think the product is almost done: http://mankabros.com/blogs/chairman/2011/03/26/manka-bros-to...
