Dropped from a helicopter.

What I want to know is: If a piracy site wants to pay to place their ads in this box, will Google allow it?

It will have to come out.

3 short, 2 long, 3 short. (The old default SMS beep on mobile phones). Realized my gaffe about 10 seconds after I couldn't undo it.

I'm pretty sure explosion imminent is 3 long, 2 short, 3 long.

4th and 5th words after the title in the Wikipedia article.

Used to be you could reference Heinlein without worry that someone would misunderstand.

Pretty sure one of the engineers said something like, "With all these changes, there's no way it's going to work well out of the gate. We can't possibly give it an odd number." Then they sold it as being better.

Roslyn should be considered a flagship product (you know, once it's released). It's open source. http://roslyn.codeplex.com/

This is just a guess, but still a reasonable one:

Google+ Photos has facial recognition (Find My Face). So if google runs their facial recognition software on all photos where the user has set up their phone to automatically upload photos to Google+ and also agreed to the Find My Face feature (or some similar agreement that people generally just click through), that would give them a pretty good approximation of these numbers.

Until they get big enough and are sued by everyone suing Aereo, http://www.playlater.tv/ does what you're asking for.

Records Netflix and Hulu, adding information stating that your account was used to do the recording (so that if something shows up on P2P, you'll get implicated fairly quickly). For movies/shows my kids watch repeatedly, I've found it nicer to just save a copy on my NAS and then stream it to the TV via Plex. The kids know exactly how to do this and typically check Plex before going to Netflix.

I would argue that the whole point of a search engine is to be biased. Google chooses to make their bias "what we think you really wanted plus some ads to earn us money". Baidu makes their bias "The results the Chinese government would prefer that you see".

Of course, these are my approximations of what their biases are and do not necessarily reflect their actual biases.

Nowhere in TFA did it state that she was surprised. I fully expect that at least half the point of mentioning it was to see how she'd be treated.

For my local newpaper's website (10 article limit per month), I've set up Chrome to clear all cookies on close. Every now and then I have to close and reopen Chrome to read more articles, but not that often.
