I've also seen a video presentation by someone at google explaining how google page ranking works as well as stuff about their hardware and serverfarms - but (typical!) I can't find it at the moment. two OT (Google points): 1) anyone seen this? https://upload.video.google.com/ 2) I'm getting a bit "concerned" about the "big brother" aspect of Google and personal data it can (potentionally) hold. eg: I was surprised that my default google page is still ".co.uk" even tho I'm on a new machine and back in Australia (ie: ".com.au"). It followed me all around Europe like that. The connection (I think)? Google reads my Gmail cookie, works out who I am and resets the default Google locale cookie to my profile (ie: it automatically changed my locale profile in London and hasn't changed it back for Australia). Sure this particular case is a minor issue by itself but it shows the interconnection between Google apps and the potential for abuse...and ppl are worried about M$...! bah humbug barry.b ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
