Google To Become Portal
GoogleMail is to allow anyone to be myname@google.com. New GoogleStocks and GooglePages web building feature also unveiled. “Yeah, we said we’d never become a portal, but that was all part of our master plan,” said cofounder Larry Page. [...]
When Jason posted the plane on a conveyer belt riddle earlier today, I was convinced that take-off was impossible if the belt could go infinitely fast and negate any forward movement. So no movement, no air passes over the wing, and then no lift.
But Michael ’s explanation makes perfect sense to me, and now [...]
Mavericks is going off at the moment and I have to admit seeing it live is worth the ten bucks and the windows-only video requirement.
I’ve often heard prominent computer scientists lament the low uptake of email encryption — that in the age of many gigahertz machines we still send plain text to each other (usually) over non-secure connections. Every couple years, just for the sake of my personal freedom and curiosity, I make an attempt to try and use [...]

After a few minutes of Googling, I found a pretty good method of finding not only specific food I wanted to eat in a new town I’ve never visited before, but the best of the lot.
Canada has some good resources. Foodpages lets you search for restaurants within a radius that meet criteria (Is there [...]
This is the most intellectually dishonest article title I’ve seen in quite some time: Google Print upsets children’s hospital.
On the one hand you have a ridiculous story about how scanning public domain books to make the knowledge easier for everyone to share is somehow detremental to kids. But if you look at the facts, it [...]
