How’s this for search engine dominance? Via TechCrunch:

“Note that the red bars represent non-mobile search market share, not a combination of both.”

Now, to help spread the Google linkage to some of the best bloggers around…

Why Hope can Kill the Progressive Agenda

After a national pattern of high taxation, failure, and appeasement, Ronald Reagan was elected President. In a single day, our pattern of engagement with the Soviet Union changed. After a decade of high taxes and stagflation, the American economy boomed. After the “malaise” of the inept Carter administration, the American people gained more pride in our nation, as well as in it’s future.

The illusion of a Republic

We have lost a number of our liberties during the past 6 months and our elected representatives simply don’t care anymore. They’re a corrupt group who are on the verge of becoming powerless to do anything. They are building a structure that will make them less relevant and expand the power of the executive branch, just as it was during the last days of the Roman Republic.

Hundreds Of People Locked In Greece!

At least 300,000 people blocked in Greece due to strike the carrier, which was left without gas pumps, and disabled visitors to fill tanks and return to their homes or travel around the country.

    The Altair 8800! I wrote what had to be the world’s crappiest diskette driver for one of those back in 1979. A guy in my dorm had one, but only with cassette tape. We scrounged a 8″ diskette drive and I volunteered to get it working.

    It “worked”, for various elastic definitions of “worked”.

    But the lesson came in handy several years later when I wrote a VMS device driver (and accompanying symbiont) to convince a Unibus that an Emulex IF-11 was really an IBM Bus & Tag interface so it would talk to a Xerox 4050 printer.

    Yes, I used to write code. Now I write memos. They told me it was a promotion.

      Back in the day… When you needed code, you wrote it yourself. That is so cool.
