Scobleizer: Microsoft Geek Blogger
Hmmm.
Fundamentally, I think Scoble gets it. It’s certainly heartening that he’s ambivalent about the issue. There’s an space between patents and no patents that we should all strive to achieve. No investors means no money, no money means no inovation, no jobs, no new gadgets or software, and that’s […]

The Doc Searls Weblog : Friday, November 19, 2004
Interesting comment here. I’m curious how Google is differentiating between these result sets. Skimmed the FAQ but didn’t see anything obvious - I’ll have to go over it better.

MSNBC - Specter gains crucial support to head panel

I’m definitely coming along on the FireFox front.
The link above is the ReloadEvery author’s tip to adjust the install.rdf file in the .xpi archive and reinstall. Worked like a charm, so I’m ReloadEvery enabled again - what a relief!
Also, I’ve replaced the GoogleBar with the A9 search toolbar (available here) which […]

Indexed Forever » But the TV show or the band?
I like Adam’s podcast OK, although I wouldn’t call it the best that’s out there. Neither, I suspect, would Adam. But this fellow loses authority with me when he says:
“the first time I saw the Real World or Survivor – this is big idea, […]
