8/9     Turns out Google is a corporate whiner:
        http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45661
        \_ Does jblack post the worldnetdaily links too?
           \_ Why, do you have a problem with the content of the article?
               \_ They forgot to mention the Swift Boat Veterans in
                  this article...
        \_ Google is a Kool Aid factory like Apple. They have a nice search
           engine (and Apple has nice products) but the zealots are
           overbearing.
           \_ Your analogy is tired and does not bear out, or else the
              zealots you're so concerned about would have drunk poison
              kool-aid by now. You would be better served to attempt to
              compare them to Hare Krishnas or Moonies, if you're looking to
              make a cult comparison.

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

8/16    Why does my Y! mail account always full of unfiltered spam
        mails (and they're obviously spams)? Why can't they do
        a better job like Google mail? Why does Y! mail charge
        for exporting email? Google mail doesn't do that.

Google knows how easy i t is to collect information on virtually any subject, but the company is apparently not happy about being "Googled" by a reporter getting inform ation about a company executive. According to the New York Times, David Krane, Google's director of public relations, called CNET editors to complain once it published the facts. "Our view is what we published was all public information, and we actu ally used their own product to find it." Singh said Krane called back to say Google would not speak to any reporte r from CNET for an entire year. "You can put us down for a 'no comment,'" he stated in an instant-message interview. "Sometimes a company is ticked off and won't talk to a reporter for a bit ," Singh said, "but I've never seen a company not talk to a whole news o rganization." The incident is echoing throughout the tech world on the Internet. Jason Stamper, editor of Computer Business Review, notes, "Blackballing j ournalists is not big and is not clever. I hope I don't have to explain why a free technology press is important to such a forward-looking compa ny as Google. But perhaps given the fact that it was Playboy that Google granted its exclusive pre-IPO interview to, they do seem to have a slig htly odd view of the people they will, and will not talk to."
