While advertising is no small part of it, one must also mention that search engines require lots of searches to gather good statistics to provide the best results.

Bing does a pretty poor job even finding things on Microsoft's own web pages, while Google gets me to what I want almost always on the first try.

Google does searching well because lots of people use it and the money keeps that in place also.

The quick loading static images and animations (from the Intellicast days) might not survive this. The complex WUNDERMAP is so ungainly most of the time.

With potentially large quantities of data being send to the cloud for processing, this does seem like a gold mine for data mining (or exploits).

Both depend on the quality of the translation and VA work. I've seen plenty of subs that are very stilted (excluding machine translated). They get the point across but would be strange with real VA's reading them.

If you remove all the tracking data from the URL. Usually everything from the "?" and beyond can be removed and the URL will still work. Though many sites run URL clicks through a redirector so it's more difficult to get the real URL from those.

This will be used to make those "Your machine is infected" ads look even better for non-tech people to fall for. Anything browser related should be clearly in the browser!

While I'm impatiently waiting until the 16TB drives are released so the 12TB prices will come down to reasonable levels.

They need to add a non-minimalistic mode. I have no problem with minimalism as a heavy user, but from my experience light users prefer a more traditional interface where everything isn't hidden. Firefox allows you can turn the menus back on so that takes care of many of the problems.

I never recommend Chrome to my low tech friends (or parents) for this reason.

How many of them are bots?

It will leave more time for radiologists to review additional flagged scans since that will probably make them the most money.

How about we build our own bundle? Or better, pick our movies/series and lose the channel system completely. That way the creators hopefully get more of the money.
