"It represents the new look of Pyongyang," the two-and-a-half minute advert says. "It will be a familiar part of our lives."

Comments on BBC websites seem smarter than on Youtube. Surprised :)

"Released on April 1, 2004, it was still in beta five years and tens of millions of users later. That is changing Tuesday. Gmail is finally shedding the beta label, signaling that Google considers the product to be fully baked. Google is also taking three other applications — Calendar, Docs and Talk — out of beta."

About time, they needed to do that to make a serious run at the enterprise market

Wow. I thought for sure it would have still been in beta when my now 6 yo started college.
- Anika Malone
Speaking about "run at the enterprise market", Google Apps is a little less free now http://friendfeed.com/jdbradf.... Out-of-beta products are certainly easier to sell.

As much as I'd like to agree with that given my preference for MS Office 2K7 over Google Docs, the fact is that the free version of GApps is still available, it's just harder to find. See the comments in the thread you linked

You're right LANjackal. Ionut knew that, I should read his blog before commenting about Google: “TechCrunch claims that ‘the free version of Google Apps is history’, but that's not true and I'm certain that Google will always offer a free version" http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009...

Citing sources is part of the netiquette. Most people give credits - at least in my Internets. But why isn't the rule to refer both to the secondary AND the original source?
"A Russian immigrant living in New Jersey was being held on federal charges of stealing top-secret computer trading codes from a major New York-based financial institution - that sources say is none other than Goldman Sachs."

I want to campaign every public services for full content syndication. I've sent many emails to public media and agencies, but they all fell on deaf ears.

Ironically, even the French portal for the modernization of the State http://www.modernisation.gouv.fr, whose mission is to "listen to users and their needs, to identify priorities and develop a strategy to improve services and to lead interdepartmental projects for simplification and electronic administration" refuses to release a full text feed.

How can so many self-proclaimed geeks recognize the superiority of Friendfeed over Twitter - in every respect, expect current user bases - and yet do nothing to make people adopt it?
Geeks should favor the best solution over the mainstream one http://friendfeed.com/brajesh..., especially when MSM wants to rule the later. How can geeks say the fight is over, only three years after Twitter's launch?

Why should they defend Firefox (2004) against IE and yet consider Twitter unbeatable, even though it hasn't significantly evolved since 2006?

"Retraining for a knowledge economy is fine in the short run, but it is no panacea. Craigslist doesn't employ the number of people it displaced in the newspaper business, and we can use this as a model for many of the effects of a knowledge economy. We should let supply and demand govern costs where it can, in the land of atoms, and preserve production at some level in this country, even if it's not the level we're comfortable with. These falling wages will provide incentive (for those who are able) to move slowly into more productive areas of our economy over time, to cushion their transition with the decreasing costs of living brought on by the information age, and not find themselves jarringly displaced at the collapsing of the next bursting economic bubble."

Yes, I knew that (they announced it yesterday), but I meant the original-original video. :P Anyway, regarding the new limit, they also speak about 10 mins max. I cant understand that: there are a lot of videos longer than 10 mins on YT! Have they been uploaded before this new "rule"?

"Saddam Hussein told an FBI interviewer before he was hanged that he allowed the world to believe he had weapons of mass destruction because he was worried about appearing weak to Iran, according to declassified accounts of the interviews released yesterday. The former Iraqi president also denounced Osama bin Laden as "a zealot" and said he had no dealings with al-Qaeda."

I really should try Slashdot harder: the UI looks very messy and I don't get its jargon at first sight (yro? http://www.google.com/search...). It's one of the few websites - with 4chan - that requires to read the FAQ before use :)

That's a great project: most of my concerns about the future of the Web are about linking data. There's so much time and resources to save, either for individuals, businesses and governements!
