Re: [IxDA Discuss] The New Facebook Redesign: The Beginning of The End?

*chuckles*

The confusion doesn't stem from the concept (which is merely another way 
of expressing monopolist behavior) but the usage of the word absolve.


Unless Google's truly gone off the deep end, I doubt they've been going 
around forgiving companies (what -- you're part of the dot-com bust? 30 
Hail Mary's and go and sin no more...)

It's very simple. I don't know why you would have 'no idea what that
actually means.'
Google thinks very, very big. They are thinking of 2 things.
1. Mine data from users
2. Slow, steady and sure profit

When Google buys out companies, they'll take a hit (like most wise
companies) if they have to to ensure a steady and sure thing.
Even if it means not making an immediate profit.
'Investment' is the word I'm looking for.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] REQUEST: Stats on Mac IE 5 ...

2008-03-31 Thread Tim Au Yeung
Based on 63,000+ visits and 1,500,000+ page views over the past three 
months for one of our sites, we running into 0.44% IE on Mac usage -- 
that's against an audience where you might be concerned about those things.

 Perhaps a bit off topic, but ...

 I was hoping a few of you might have (or wouldn't mind asking around  
 to get some) stats on visitors using IE 5 on the Mac. As a percentage  
 of users, I expect it to be small but I have no hard numbers.

 Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
