Friendfeed needs a better description than "like" because that doesn't quite fit this story. - Stuart Grimshaw from twhirl
Not sure what you mean? - Imran Ali
Friendfeed has the "like" button to press if you like a story, but saying "I like" stories about hundreds of civilians being killed doesn't quite sit right. "I agree" or "Share with my own followers" might be a better phrase. I'm not talking about a "downvote" button, please don't think that. - Stuart Grimshaw from twhirl

Anyone who ended up regularly using those Google search results upvote/ x buttons?
Hell no. I'm vaguely afraid I'll accidently click one and 'corrupt' my future search results in some way. - Reto Meier from fftogo
Nope, never used them, not even enabled. - Stuart Grimshaw from IM
I still try to ignore them, but sometimes I accidentally click on them. - Ionut
i do, i use them to get rid of experts-exchange & other results i find annoying, though can't say if it's helping. i do like the option to vote against them, though ;-) - immaterial
For SEO type reasons, I don't want to customize my results too much, so I leave the X's alone. - Mike Reynolds
No. It's so stupid to put "Google Earth" as 1rst result for the search [earth], just because I upvoted "Google Reader" for [reader]. - Jérôme Flipo
No. Not once. But I would use a simple MARK button often -- to flag particular results as interesting, and searchable as a group. - Sean McBride
I'm biased but I find it satisfying to correct certain search results. It's usually the ones where majority opinion is wrong e.g. [trivium] shouldn't be the heavy metal band - Adewale Oshineye

Top Gear Hails Hydrogen Over Electric
Sent to you via Google Reader Top Gear Hails Hydrogen Over Electric I just finished watching an episode of Top Gear dedicated to the Honda FCX Clarity. Although I enjoyed watching what it’s like to drive around in the thing, I completely disagreed with the conclusions drawn by the show’s host James May. He spent a good amount of time extolling the virtues of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, especially compared to electric cars, which he considers a technological dead end. You can watch the entire video here. I wanted to highlight a few quotes that really got my goat, though: -S - Stuart Grimshaw from email

Tony wonders whether there's anyone out there who isn't actually ill at the moment. Pass me another Lemsip...
I'm not ill, but the kids are so it's only a matter of time. - Stuart Grimshaw from IM
I'm past ill, aka well again :-). Get well soon! - John μller
Oh dear, I hope you haven't got what I've got. Do you feel like every orifice in your head is being raped? Including the eye sockets? If so, snap. - Chris Hill
Not quite, thankfully, Chris. Dave said I looked dead this morning. And Coco said I looked like he felt. It's just man flu but I'm burning up and using tissues like I'm a crazed tissue-abuser... - Tony Ruscoe
The past two days I havn't felt too well :( - Martin Rix (Mrrix32)

Tax website shut down as memory stick with secret personal data of 12million is found in a pub car park | Mail Online - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news...
"An expert who examined it for The Mail on Sunday said it contained confidential passwords, security software and the technical blueprint to the system known as the 'source code'. " - John μller from Bookmarklet
Oops! - Adam Lasnik
Once again, the UK Government seems to be completely incapable of keeping details secure. And their systems cost billions to produce and are always behind schedule. It's about time they got someone to manage the IT solutions who knows what they're talking about. Any takers? - Tony Ruscoe
There are plenty of software companies that could better Government IT systems than the huge consultancies they routinely employ. - Stuart Grimshaw from twhirl
"The memory stick was lost by (..) an IT analyst at computer management firm Atos Origin." So technically, it wasn't lost by the government. Also: "the same company has been selected to supply IT systems for the London 2012 Olympic Games." Anyway, why would an analyst do with 12M records + technical blueprints on a memory stick? - John μller

Why a moustache? - John μller
