Can't agree more. The most damning part from the article...

She was no longer an operational machine or even capable of ever returning to operational status due the grievous wounds inflicted. Her innards were gutted in irreversible ways as part of the preservation efforts.

WTF are they preserving then? Why not just make a replica hull out of paper mache and put that in a museum if they're throwing away all of the shit that makes it work?

Having short cuts to all your games in one place.

Access to the Steam Overlay. Let's you press shift-tab in a game to overlay your friends list, any messages from said friends, and a webkit browser over the game being played.

It announces to your friends what you are playing or what you want them to think you are playing. When adding a shortcut to a non-steam game you get to name it whatever you want. So when I run WoW through Steam my friends see "Dudeman is playing non-Steam game 'Nick has full blown AIDS' " or any jacked up message I want everyone on my friends list to see.

Google's Search Copying Accusation Called 'Silly'->

Submitted by itwbennett
itwbennett writes "Google's Bing sting, reported in Slashdot just days ago and subsequently denied by Microsoft, is now being called 'silly' and 'petty' by search industry analysts and execs. The reason: it would be impossible for Microsoft to use the copied results to reverse engineer Google's search algorithms. And in fact it is more likely that Microsoft was conducting competitive research. Charlene Li, founder of technology research and advisory firm Altimeter Group, saw Google's actions as a misguided response to a real threat from a competitor in its core search business. 'Google isn't used to having competition. You look at this incident and you wonder why they are doing this. It feels amateurish in a way, a kind of 'they're not playing fair' attitude,' she said."

Bug

Google Groups search ... still broken->

Submitted by b0s0z0ku
b0s0z0ku writes "For the past month or more, searching for any phrase on the Google Groups website has yielded only the first page of results with no convenient way to navigate to subsequent pages. The page bar on the bottom of the screen has gone missing. Despite this bug being reported to Google by multiple people, Google has not seen fit to fix it in a timely manner. This humble poster wonders if Google Groups is being maintained at all, and by whom?"
