Prly only a matter of time as everything comes to Europe a bit later. The amount of crap from China on Amazon seems to grow every day here also.
Works here (48.0.2564.109 / W7) - fix your setup.
Not if they shifted traffic to their own free inventory
Once you found your way in, it's really addictive. However, if you could make the introduction a little easier to grasp, more people would give it a try.
This actually works for me.

Most of us already had it: you thought all errors in your app have finally been ironed out and then someone sends you an ugly screenshot showing an even more ugly error you cannot reproduce. He's not tech savvy enough to tell you details about his system config and cannot reliably reproduce the error himself. But the screenshot shows: it's out there. How do you get a grip on that?
Just providing the means to have a profile page is not enough to have a social network anymore. There had to be a continuous stream of information to keep users coming back (buy friendfeed, guys!). But then again Google always had success by keeping things simple...

Facebook. You can tag your friends and they will be notified. That's a huge advantage, because not only the tagged person comes to see but also her nosy friends.
The consequence of being #2 on users, uniques or pageviews is not neccessarily being #2 in revenues. I think loosing money is what puts you out of business sooner or later.
I guess it's not so much about competing with other ebook readers but to attract iPhone users to buy a Kindle.
Same question applies to the valuation of Twitter. What's even more delicate: should same methods of valuation be used for both?
While I can perfectly understand you I'd suppose that the older generation also spent some of the money for your health, education, security and relatively carefree childhood. Many of them were in an undoubtedly more desperate situation during and after WWII than we are today. They pulled up their sleeves and ... you know the rest.
Inspiring story that interestingly corresponds to almost all of PG's 13 sentences.
He probably doesn't imagine just for how many people he made life easier every day. Great job, props and good luck for whatever is coming next!
If gmail users don't stop complaining on twitter, we'll also see the fail whale there soon. Seems to be the dominating topic there.
Reading this drives everyone to immediately check his account further increasing the load on the servers. Maybe we should sit back, relax and remember the times when email did not yet exist.
I guess the author knows exactly that talent exists but wants to point out that the word is used often in situations where diligence was more appropriate.
What about those boxes of Quicken rotting in the shelves of resellers/customers - doesn't Intuit count them as sold copies even if the software was never used?
I think you cannot keep a site with traffic like this running on AdSense (at least with a decent performance) and it's definitely not an environment for advertisers who pay top dollars.
Did you try to insert some of the actual free domain names into your ads?
You cannot do client side resizing with flash < v.10
This is very insightful and because it's real life data (as opposed to data gathered/guessed/invented by agencies) it has authenticity. Patzer should be official advisor to the government.
I always thought people attending a conference like this are civilized but no matter if you like MA or not, this is below all standards
