TechCrunch: Google, It Wasn't
Broke — Bucket tests and experimental products are one
thing. But to mess with the real Google search is serious stuff. Why did they do
it? — Google's overall search share has grown substantially this year (and all
other years since it went live).

Here is a brief clip from my encounter with Dr. Zulfiqar Ali Shah at Duke University last
evening. The evening was very short (less than two hours), but it may well be a preview of things
to come, as Dr. Shah wants to do more in-depth debates in the future! I am excited about what 2009
will bring.
Treasury yields bounced back Friday, as investors bet that stocks would rally from a precipitous
decline - a day after yields hit all-time lows in a warning that credit markets remain vulnerable
and investors are hungry for the safety of government debt. pa

Verizon today marked the official launch of the BlackBerry Storm on its network. The device matches
the $199 contract price of the rivalling iPhone 3G at AT&T and is widely regarded as Verizon's
best alternative to the Apple handset in features and focus. The Storm has a similarly-sized

On a normal weekend,
there are usually eight or nine new independent films opening in limited release, compared to three
four wide releases. But for Thanksgiving, those numbers switch sides -- the multiplexes will be
crowded with Twilights and Bolts and Transporters and Christmases and so forth, while the art
houses have only a few new titles arriving.
In other words, there's not much to say in this week's Indie Spotlight,
and there won't be any need for a Spotlight next week at all. So enjoy these few limited-release
films opening today and next Wednesday: The Betrayal, I Can't Think Straight,
Lake City, and Special.
The Betrayal
(Nerakhoon) What it is: A documentary about a family that emigrated to the U.S. after the
bombings in their native Laos that occurred during the Vietnam War. What they're saying: Wow -- all 12 reviews at Rotten Tomatoes are positive. "Lyrical, expansive,
unbearably beautiful," etc. Where it's playing: New York City (IFC Center). More info: The official website has a list of
release dates, most of which are several weeks hence.
Lake City What it is: A drama starring Troy Garity as a man who returns to his Southern home
and his mom (Sissy Spacek) after a tragedy separated them for many years. What they're saying: Lake City is a lovely title, but the critics are saying it's
all wet, or some other water-related metaphor. With 11 notices at Rotten Tomatoes, only one is positive, the rest
indicating that despite Sissy Spacek's good performance, the movie is too serious, contrived, and
banal. Where it's playing: New York City (Quad Cinema). More info: I can't find an official site anywhere.

Microsoft Corp. and ESRI together are driving Homeland Security innovations to more effectively
help protect citizens, prevent and solve crimes, and enable counter-terrorism through software. The
newly formed collaboration will combine the best capabilities from both organizations in geospatial
and collaborative technologies, and will result in advanced intelligence for state and local data
fusion centers and emergency operations centers. An intended product of this collaboration is the
FusionX Appliance, a baseline IT architecture for fusion centers, which will provide users with
advanced collaboration and geospatial intelligence capabilities by combining the power of
ESRI’s ArcGIS Server Advanced Enterprise with the collaboration capabilities of Microsoft
Office SharePoint Server 2007.
Intel Developer Forum, in its 11th year as Intel Corporation's largest technology conferences,

Sept. 22-24 at Moscone Center West, followed by Taipei, Taiwan, Nov. 16-17 at the Taipei

Usually when we're talking about Nokia and patents, a mention of Qualcomm can't be far behind. This
time however, we're looking at something entirely less boring, fascinating even: ultra-sound
sensors that detect hand gestures in the air in front of the device. Now the stretch. Nokia's chief
designer, Alastair Curtis, was asked at a recent cocktail party why Nokia's N-series of multimedia
devices have yet to see a multi-touch interface, Curtis replied, "We've not launched what we think
is right for N-series in a touch product. You'll see in the coming months, years... what we feel is
right." Curtis then elaborated, "Much as I'm talking to you now with gestures." Hmm. Ok Alastair,
if such devices are in the chute, as long as they don't resemble the Palm V-series... we're
cool.

Depuis quelque temps j’avais placé mes espérances en toi car, à mes yeux
tu représentais, au Parti Socialiste, tout ce que j’espérais de lui à
savoir : la jeunesse, la gauche du Parti, un souhait de mis en retrait de nos «
éléphants » de façon à mettre en avant plutôt les
idées, des idées de gauches telles que tu nous les exposais tout au long de ta
campagne pour le poste de 1er secrétaire de notre Parti. Je voudrais, dans cette lettre, te
dire à quel point je suis déçu de ta décision au lendemain du 1er tour
d’appeler tes électeurs à voter au 2e tour pour Martine Aubry.

I've been using a bookmarklet to add my own custom icons to sites when creating webclips for my

I have a Motorola Q which syns flawlessly with with my work email/contacts/calendar using VZ
wireless sync software on my work PC. I have a new Ipod touch now which can get email from my
personal Yahoo mail account but I can't seem to figure out how to sync my work outlook data. I've
tried Mobile me briefly but that was confusing and I gave up. Any advice would be appreciated as I
am thinking of getting an Iphone soon so I want to make sure its pretty painless to get all my
mail/contacts/calendars on the phone. Thanks.
