    Google, It Wasn’t Broke

    I do think search + community could work together well (duh). However, I think some aspects of Google's implementation are confusing. And, I'm surprised Google didn't launch it as an experimental feature first.

    Specific complaints:
    1) Promote/Remove: I don't really get the value. If there is value, it is certainly not immediately obvious. Does promoting it just affect me, or does it affect everybody? What if I click remove, and the underlying page changes to the point that it now might be valuable? I just want Google to do the right thing without me having to train it.
    2) I have a "Note This" and "Comment" links at the bottom of my search results. That "feels" a little redundant.

    Also, I wonder why Google just didn't keep the Star/Share metaphors that they use on their other products.

    Quoted: Bucket tests and experimental products are one thing. But to mess with the real Google search is serious stuff. Why did they do ...

    All You Can Eat | We're hot on Chili's | Seattle Times Newspaper Blog

    Going to try this out for lunch. Didn't even know there was a South Indian restaurant in Seattle.

    Quoted: If Tom hadn't for sent me an email, I'd have never set foot in Chili's. But he knew that. "Never in a million years would you walk into this place," he wrote, describing a shop that "looks like a sketchy package-store on the Ave." One open every day but Sunday from 9 a.m. till 11 p.m., selling "tube socks, Kool cigarettes and bad wine." He failed to mention the incense, candy and phone cards, or the gyros, tacos and French fries. Because that's not why you should go to Chili's. This is why:

    Op-Ed Contributor - Let Detroit Go Bankrupt - NYTimes.com

    Quoted: The American auto industry is vital to our national interest as an employer and as a hub for manufacturing. A managed bankruptcy may be the only path to the fundamental restructuring the industry needs. It would permit the companies to shed excess labor, pension and real estate costs. The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk.

    End of an Era:  PC Magazine Goes Out of Print « SmoothSpan Blog

    I wouldn't quite say I grew up on PC Magazine the way I grew up on the Cosby Show or Bon Jovi. Nonetheless, I was a fan of PC Magazine for quite awhile.

    Quoted: PC Magazine may have simply fallen out of touch with that Early Adopter/Influencer crowd that I enjoy being a part of. Ironically, Bill Machrone, the founding editor of PC Mag, is still around and doing the kind of hands-on work with computers and electronics that I craved from PC Mag and that vanished from its pages.

    Quoted: Equities will almost certainly outperform cash over the next decade, probably by a substantial degree. Those investors who cling now to cash are betting they can efficiently time their move away from it later. In waiting for the comfort of good news, they are ignoring Wayne Gretzky’s advice: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.”

    This was written a year ago.

    Quoted: The global imbalances created by this dynamic of American borrowing and foreign lending appear stable for now, but if they slip suddenly, that could pose serious dangers for middle- and working-class Americans through soaring interest rates, a crash in the housing market, and sharply higher prices for anything no longer made domestically.
