Not being a huge fan of music, I've never owned an iPod. However, I just couldn't resist an iPhone last month and I have to say I love it. It looks as if the new iPod Touch has just about the exact same interface as the iPhone. From the screenshots, …

I think that everyone is so focused on spam being the problem that we're not realizing that the real underlying issue is that nobody can fathom a single question that a human would know the answer to but a computer wouldn't be able to figure out. Is that a good …

I can just hear it ... "While you wait for the party you've dialed to answer their phone, stay tuned for these messages from AdWords advertisers ..."

I agree with jbennet. I do know of some cheap ISPs that add their own "Sponored By" line to the bottom of emails (in a similar fashion to Hotmail). But I don't think even a free email service would go so far as to add a couple of paragraphs including, …

I think it was clicked on more for the curiosity factor than people who were just too click happy for their own good.

This morning I logged into Google Analytics and noticed a message mentioning a brand new interface, and yet, everything looked the same. Now, a couple of hours later, I just logged back in and, indeed, noticed a massive revamp for Google Analytics. The first thing I notice is the much …

I think that whomever initially came up with the idea doesn't know how blogs work. If they can't trust their soldier to not post in his blog, he shouldn't be privy to top secret information, because he could just as easily say something in real life.

I'm happy to see this. I use Flash all the time compared to QuickTime, DivX, etc. which I need to download just for a single purpose.

It seems to me like the distro is being created for morality's sake when it's completely not practical. I mean ... no 3D acceleration? That's very progressive and forward thinking of them to put energy into a new distro which purposefully has no driver support by design. It seems as …

It's been a couple of years now that Google has been in the contextual advertising game, serving up ads not just in the search results, but also across the network of AdSense publishers. AdSense has since become a dream come true for many small publishers realizing they can make some …

He obviously means IntelliTXT. And no, it wouldn't be illegal to see IntelliTXT ads. But it would be illegal for companies based out of Utah to purchase IntelliTXT ads for trademarked keywords such as 'microsoft'.

A recent visit into Google's [URL="http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/"]Webmaster Tools [/URL]has brought a new section to my attention which I would imagine would be of much interest to SEOs: Internal and External links. The table of Internal links seems interesting - a listing of pages on your domain that have links pointing to …

2) This can be fixed by disabling User Account Control. (Look under User Accounts in the Control Panel) 3) I'm not sure about this but maybe you can try running it in Compatibility Mode? 8) I don't like the black color scheme either but you can revert to the old-style …

I'm probably wrong (take what I say with a grain of salt) but I believe that a tweaked version of Ubuntu, fondly nicknamed Goobuntu, has been circulating internally among Google employees for some time now. Might be where the rumor got started.

It's completely ridiculous to base this study on 16 year olds - or anyone in the teenage age range for that matter. How many 16 year old guys know what love is or are dating the people they end up marrying for that matter? The study just makes no sense.

I have an XBox 360 and have my eyes on a Nintendo Wii. No interest in Sony PS3. The reason? I am not a hardcore gamer, and enjoy my XBox 350 games of UNO, PGA Tour Golf, Sonic the Hedgehog, and various racing games. I am looking forward to getting …

Seems to me like it's more about home-grown recycable paper (that you recycle yourself instead of through a plant) than a printer.

I currently use my XBox 360 as my DVD player, but I heard that the Nintendo Wii (or was it a different next generation gaming console) will include blu-ray or something? Not sure ... I'm waiting for Nintendo.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. I am one of those ultra CSS advocates. The freedom of keeping style and content entirely separate entities! To be able to change the whole look and design by just changing the CSS. Plus it makes for better crawlability by search engines, …

I have been an avid AdSense member since its inception, and I was just about to send you a PM saying "What are you talking about? This isn't true!" But whoa, you surprised me and definitely proved me wrong. Very nifty!

You guys can only say that because you don't meet the requirements ;) I bet if you were fluent in Russian and actually had a good shot, you wouldn't be so quick at applying.

I know it's not a practical alternative for someone with a PC in need of an OS, but for new buyers, perhaps a mac? Mac OS X has unix under the hood power, you can recompile nearly all open source *nix apps, and there are still real commercial suites for …

Well, I just got myself through a major disaster. A couple of days ago, vBulletin, the forum system which powers the core of DaniWeb, released a shiny new version, vB 3.6. Every day since, they've been announcing new features - many of which look just awesome! This afternoon, they finally …

I remember JPEG2000. I also remember my computer science professor saying that it was the same compression algorithm as JPEG, with the only advantage being more efficient and streamlined code.

What I find interesting is that Google has a double standard. While the typical AdWords user only semi-recently received the option to use .gif ads in addition to standard text links, Flash campaigns for high profile sites have been rotated in AdSense for awhile now. And now, of course, they're …
