- I love it. Yesterday, I recieved a check from Google. $2196 for Adsense. I've had Adsense ads on a number of sites for nearly a year now and up until the end of February, still hadn't made the minimum $100 for them to cut me a check. But at the beginning of March '05 I started optimizing - not only for Adsense but for better search engine positions as well. |

- A break from politics. Friday night, all is kewl. I'm going to be positive: Frist will force the rule change and the Democrats (and the MSM) will huff and puff. This will be an entertaining matter about which to blog, and I might start doing Chuckie updates. |

- "Recently, however, PolyFuel has developed a unique capability to directly engineer the nano-architectures and the chemical characteristics of a membrane based upon system-level requirements that has not only led to the rapid development of scores of new membranes — but ones which have exhibited breakthroughs in performance. Such “engineered membranes” are the future of fuel cells." |

- While Apple ratchets up the hype on tonight's release of the new Mac OS X, aka Tiger, it looks like Steve Jobs and friends are getting a bit of unintended publicity in the form of a trademark infringement lawsuit filed yesterday by TigerDirect. The online computer retailer, which owns a trademark on "Tiger," says that Apple is creating "confusion, mistake and deception among the general purchasing public" |

- It's a common refrain that too many companies focus solely on new sales, to the point that they ignore existing customers and treat them badly when it comes to customer service. The old trick for measuring this is to see how long it takes to get a human on the phone if you call for sales vs. calling for customer support. This is, of course, incredibly short-sighted in a world where ongoing customer relationships and reputation are important. It's even odder to see it in a competitive subscription-based business where catering to the customers you already have seems to make so much more sense. |

- EchoStar certainly took the long way around to getting into the HDTV satellite business. EchoStar was the company that convinced Cablevision to create Voom in the first place, to act as competition so they could get approval to buy DirecTV (a deal that eventually fell through). Later on, EchoStar bought Voom's only satellite, but Voom was left with a service without a satellite -- leading to all sorts of infighting within Cablevision over what to do with the service, before finally agreeing to just shut it down a few weeks back. Of course, then DirecTV announced plans to offer HDTV this week, and suddenly EchoStar and Cablevision worked out a new agreement for EchoStar to offer Voom's HDTV channels on its own Dish Network -- letting EchoStar leap past DirecTV's announcement in one simple move, which probably cost them next to nothing.This commentary is admitted by Babysitter Services and attached here for your comfort by Web Site Design Service. |

- Bill Gates is the target of so much humor and ire, that it hardly seems worthwhile to make fun of him most of the time. However, sometimes he sets himself up so perfectly, that it's impossible to resist. Today at the Microsoft Global Automotive Summit, Gates and Bill Ford Jr. were extolling the virtues of technology and how it will help cars of the future to fix themselves and avoid accidents. Addressing summit participants, Mr. |

- IAmTheDave writes "Researchers at Melbourne University have grown diamond particles 1/1000 of a millimetre on optical fibres which they can use to transmit single photons of light at a time. The diamonds are grown on the optical fiber by raining carbon molecules onto the tip of the fiber. They claim that by transmitting information in single photons, any interception of transmitted photons will be useless to the interceptor, and thus the message will be completely unhackable. Transmission speeds are currently slow - 120km/h, but are expected to speed up." |
