As someone that lived through it, two things stuck with me

1. YouTube just worked, it relied on Flash and that was installed on almost every computer. IIRC google video required some other plugin and it didn’t work great.

2. There was a lot more content to watch, probably because they were less good at filtering copyrighted content.

The California DOI is requiring that companies issue some sort of "reasonable" refund, which has to be justified to the department in some way. Other states will likely do something similar.

It’s not always a volunteer activity in social situations, unless you want to go around telling other people to not take any photos of you.

Don't forgoet that the monopoly comes at the cost that they are required to keep a lot of post offices open in rural areas, which is a very unprofitable enterprise.

Credit score isn't allowed in pricing of insurance for a lot of states, including California. It depends state to state though.

Neat idea, but it looks like the site was last updated in 2005/6.

Moving to 2.x still seems like more trouble than it's worth, but maybe I'm just burnt out on learning another templating system =/

I haven't required a cable for an iOS update for a while.

Interesting that they show the approximate number of searches / second at the bottom. Is that an otherwise publicly available number?

Does he say what Google search data he is looking at or where he got it?
