It didn't even do that. The Nazi economy was a debt fuelled spending spree that needed war in an attempt to sustain itself.

But you don't help fixing problems by telling a lie about them, you just make it more difficult for those trying to tell the truth about the issue. It does not seem Daisey understands that he has hurt the cause he claims he was trying to help.

IANAL, but your Wikipedia contributions wouldn't count as personal information (unless it is explicitly about yourself). However the logging of when and which page you edited are, so those could potentially be affected.

The design of the phone reminds me of the old iPod mini (maybe it's just the color). It looks good, and I like the head phones made in the same style.

How does this work with people who are blind? Will they be able to notice the highlighted words, or will they be denied access?

After you made the change to the site, have you seen any changes in voting patterns and point distribution? It would be interesting to see that kind of data.

It would be interesting if they set up a Google Retro and let people try and compare the old search and see if they still think it is an improvement over the newer systems.

In my user support days at the university I studied at, I remember receiving many students on the brink of crying and with a corrupt 3.5" disk in hand. They had their only copy of their thesis on this floppy and were desperate for help.

Most of the time the only thing we could do was to dd what was available and pipe it through strings, and sometimes not even that. We tried telling them they should store things on the university servers (which had backups), but it took some time before students learned this.

An important addition to that is to repeatedly hit ctrl-r to cycle through the matching commands in the history.

Maybe, but one year you might not need the kind of complete change of direction that he managed to pull off earlier and which made the company what it is today.

While Apple could probably be very successful with their current direction for quite some time, if the market changes under them the lack of Jobs might become more apparent.

I hope this and the mobile client gives enough incentive for people to sign up for the premium accounts. Spotify is a great product that I enjoy on a daily basis, and I would hate to see it go under.
